Specification & build sheet

Build your growth engine.

Every build starts with the base engine — the part that gets you found at all. Everything below it is a module you bolt on to extend what the base engine can do. Configure your build below; the total updates live as you add each module.

How the pricing works

FOUR ENGINES · PAY FOR WHAT’S RUNNING

There’s one engine every business needs, and three more you can add if they fit yours. Start with the AI Visibility Engine — without it, people searching Google, or asking ChatGPT, for what you sell simply won’t find you, so nothing else here matters until this one is running. Most businesses add the WordPress Performance Engine straight away too: if your site is slow, out of date, or goes down, you lose the very customers the AI Visibility Engine just sent you. Together, those two are the real starting point. The other two are for later, once those are working: the Reviews Engine collects and manages your Google reviews properly instead of leaving it to chance, and the LinkedIn Engine puts a real, named person behind your business online — which people, and increasingly AI tools, trust more than a logo. No bundles, no tiers — you switch on what you need and pay for that, nothing else.

Already on WordPress, or moving from somewhere else? The WordPress Performance Engine covers a proper platform-to-WordPress conversion too — a one-off KES 100,000+VAT, or free if you prepay 12 months of the Engine upfront. Billing itself is simple: pre-paid monthly, in advance, cancel anytime — cancelling just stops the next renewal, it doesn’t cut off what you’ve already paid for — and no refunds once a period’s billed. Nothing is charged until you’ve reviewed and confirmed the build below.

SPEC 02 / 03

The base engine is fitted standard on every build — it can’t be removed. From there, add the modules that match what your business needs to run on.

Base engine fitted standard

AI Visibility Engine

The one every build needs first — nothing else works without it
KES 35,000+VAT · 40,600 incl.

This is what gets you showing up when someone searches Google, or asks an AI tool like ChatGPT, for what you sell. No AI Visibility Engine means no one finds you online — that’s why every build starts here, and why it’s the only Engine that’s fixed rather than optional. Includes 6–8 blog posts and 2 backlinks a month, technical fixes, correct schema markup, and your Google Business Profile kept accurate. You get a report every month so you can see exactly what’s been done.

WordPress Performance Engine

If this breaks or slows down, you lose the customers above
Not selected

The AI Visibility Engine brings people to your site — this Engine makes sure the site is actually ready for them when they arrive. We handle hosting, updates, backups, uptime and security, and we check your site works properly for the AI crawlers that now read it too, not just Google. Includes 4 hours a month for content updates or general changes (extra hours are KES 1,500+VAT each).

What’s inside — full breakdown

01Maintenance+
  • Core, theme and plugin updates kept current, tested before they go live
  • Weekly backups, with a clean recovery point on standby
  • 4 content-update / general maintenance hours a month included — perishable, use it or lose it (extra hours KES 1,500+VAT/hour)
  • Monthly report so you can see exactly what was done
02Performance+
  • Speed and caching tuned for the site, not a generic default
  • Image and asset optimisation on an ongoing basis
  • Core Web Vitals watched on an ongoing basis, not measured once and left
  • Kept fast as the site and its content grow
03HostingFree+
Hosting itself costs you nothing here — don’t compare this Engine to a cheap hosting plan. Compare it to what you’d pay for maintenance elsewhere: you’re paying for the ongoing performance and maintenance work, not for server space.
  • Hosting itself is included free — no separate hosting bill, ever
  • Uptime monitored, with fixes handled by us when something drops
  • Firewall, malware scanning and ongoing security hardening
  • Site checked against the AI crawlers that now read it, not just search engines

Pricing questions, answered

SEO · AI SEO · GEO & AEO
How much does SEO cost in Kenya?

It varies a lot from agency to agency, depending on scope and what’s actually included — there’s no single market rate to quote. At SEO Smart, our own core SEO engine is flat and public: the AI Visibility Engine is KES 35,000/month + VAT (40,600 incl.), with no setup fee and no tiers to compare. Build your own quote below and see the exact monthly total before you commit to anything.

How much does AI SEO cost?

“AI SEO” isn’t priced separately from SEO here — the AI Visibility Engine above covers both the ranking work Google still does and the work that gets a business cited by AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. One flat monthly price, KES 35,000+VAT, not an add-on charge on top of “normal” SEO.

What are GEO and AEO, and are they included in the price?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) are what get a business mentioned and recommended inside an AI tool’s own answer, not just ranked on a Google results page. Both are built into the AI Visibility Engine as standard — there’s no separate GEO or AEO line item to buy.

Is this a one-off fee or an ongoing subscription?

It’s a flat monthly retainer, paid in advance, with no long-term contract. Cancel any time — cancelling just stops the next renewal, it doesn’t cut off the month you’ve already paid for. Nothing is charged until you’ve reviewed and confirmed your build below.

Do I have to buy the WordPress, Reviews or LinkedIn Engines too?

No. The AI Visibility Engine is the only fixed part — everyone starts there. The WordPress Performance, Reviews and LinkedIn Engines are optional modules at KES 10,000/month + VAT each, and you only pay for the ones you switch on.

Are there any setup fees or hidden costs?

No setup fee, and every price shown here excludes 16% VAT, which is added at invoicing and shown clearly at every step. The one exception anywhere in the build is the one-off platform-to-WordPress conversion fee (KES 100,000+VAT once, or free if you prepay 12 months of the WordPress Performance Engine) — it only applies if you’re moving an existing site onto WordPress, and it’s shown upfront in that step, never hidden.
