Pricing
SourceNode is a managed service on a monthly retainer. We do not publish a rate card, because the work is scoped to a business’s category, its competitors, and the number of models and markets it needs covered. Those differ enough between engagements that a single published number would be misleading rather than helpful.
What determines the retainer
Category competitiveness. The number of businesses competing for the same answers sets how much earned-source work is required to move share of voice.
The size of the prompt set. Questions multiplied by stages of the customer journey, by markets, by models, is what we track daily. A single-market engagement is a different scope from one covering several.
The state of the source footprint. Some businesses need facts reconciled across a handful of listings. Others have dozens of profiles, directories and review sites carrying conflicting claims.
The depth of reporting. Tracing AI referrals through to leads and revenue requires connecting to a business’s own analytics and intake, which varies in effort.
What is included
Daily tracking of your customers’ questions across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, Copilot and Perplexity, with the citation record behind every answer.
Fact reconciliation across your pages, your structured data and every third-party source that describes you.
Published answers to the questions your customers ask, in the formats the models retrieve.
Earned-source work: claiming, correcting and pursuing placement in the third-party sources the models cite in your category.
Reporting on visibility, share of voice and position by model and by stage, with AI referrals traced through to leads and revenue.
What it is not
It is not a tool subscription. You are not buying a dashboard and a login; our team does the work the dashboard would only describe.
It is not priced per seat. The retainer reflects the scope of the category and the source footprint, not how many people at your business log in.
How to get a number
Tell us the business and the category. We run your customers’ questions across every major model, show you what the models say today, which sources produced each claim, and what we would change first.
That audit is what the scope is built from, so the number you get is based on your actual source footprint rather than a tier.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no published price? Because the scope varies more than the service does. Two businesses in the same industry can need very different amounts of earned-source work depending on how many third-party sources already describe them, and how badly those sources disagree.
Who does SourceNode work with? Businesses whose customers ask AI before they buy: law firms, financial and advisory firms, B2B software companies, retailers and consumer brands, marketplaces and platforms, and agencies that want to offer the service to their own clients. We work with clients in the United States and Europe.
Is this a retainer or a project? A retainer. The work continues because AI answers change as sources change and competitors publish; a one-off audit goes stale.
