Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
15 of the 19 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 4 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 234 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one figure per agency from its own page: the lowest published monthly fee for AI search work (GEO, AEO or ChatGPT optimization), kept apart from any one-off audit or set-up fee; median and range over agencies that publish; the share of agencies read that publish any price; an agency's report of what the market or another agency charges is third-party and refused; agencies that publish none are counted not-published, never estimated
234 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
