Two buying decisions, not one bundled retainer trap.
VERIS separates the one-time technical implementation from the optional monthly maintenance work. The audit tells you which implementation tier fits. Ongoing work is available after that, not forced upfront. The audit is free. VERIS charges only to fix what it finds.
- See how implementation and maintenance differ.
- Understand which tier usually fits which type of site.
- Use the audit to avoid paying for the wrong scope.
Pricing makes more sense when you follow the actual order.
Start with the audit
The audit determines which implementation tier fits the site and whether the foundation is already partially in place.
Choose the implementation tier
Implementation is a one-time fix for the technical stack: schema, crawler permissions, llms.txt, entity alignment, and answer-layer structure.
Add maintenance only if you need ongoing coverage
Maintenance is optional at the start. It becomes useful when the business wants ongoing monitoring, corrections, and extended GEO work.
The one-time technical fix.
- +Layer 1 foundation work
- +Small sites with 10 pages or fewer
- +Standard WordPress, Squarespace, or Wix CMS
- +Single-location businesses
- +Layer 1 plus deeper Layer 2 work where needed
- +Handles broader service-page coverage
- +Usually the right tier when answer extraction also needs work
- +Broader implementation scope
- +Custom or headless stacks may also need the CMS surcharge
- +Used when the site architecture itself creates more validation work
The monthly maintenance paths.
- +Monthly schema health check
- +robots.txt monitoring for crawler directive drift
- +llms.txt accessibility check
- +Monitoring for citations, brand mentions, and sentiment
- +Quarterly FAQ schema updates where needed
- +Extraction-format review and improvement
- +Citation seeding and competitor comparison
- +Broader monitoring across AI surfaces
- +Used when the business wants active long-term market presence work
The audit is free and determines the right implementation tier. That keeps the site from being over-scoped or under-scoped before work begins.
Maintenance is month-to-month and optional. It is useful when the business wants continuing updates, monitoring, and broader GEO work after the implementation is already in place.
Implementation is paid 50% upfront and 50% on delivery. The work itself is delivered within 48-72 hours from access confirmation. once the site is queued.

Not sure which tier applies to your site?
The audit tells you what tier fits, what is missing, and whether ongoing maintenance even makes sense yet.
