How AMP pricing works
No bundled packages and no surprise invoices. Every engagement is scoped to your business, with a not-to-exceed ceiling in writing before paid work begins.
The short answer: AI Marketing Partner starts every relationship with a free AI Visibility Snapshot. Paid work begins with Discovery, which is billed hourly for the time actually spent, with a not-to-exceed ceiling agreed before we begin. Foundation, Growth, and Authority work the same way: billed hourly with a not-to-exceed ceiling, set per project for Foundation and per month for Growth and Authority.
The path, step by step
Most clients move through these stages in order. You can stop after any of them.

What shapes the cost
Two businesses asking for the same outcome can need very different amounts of work. These are the main reasons.
What changes the scope
- How many services, products, or locations need to be made clear to AI
- How your website is built, and how easily it can be changed
- Whether your Google Business Profile and other listings need correcting
- Whether you want a one-time build or ongoing monthly work
How quotes protect you
- Every quote states a not-to-exceed ceiling
- You’re billed only for hours actually worked
- If work would exceed the ceiling, it pauses and you approve a revised ceiling first
- Sites with heavy custom or legacy code get a separate assessment before implementation is quoted
What AMP doesn’t do
AMP focuses on Answer Engine Optimization. If you need one of these, we’ll point you to someone who specializes in it:
- Paid advertising management
- Multi-country international SEO
- Performance marketing measured on return on ad spend (ROAS)
Pricing questions
Does AI Marketing Partner publish a price list?
No. AMP doesn’t sell bundled packages. Every engagement is scoped to the business, and you get a not-to-exceed ceiling in writing before any paid work begins.
How much does the AI Visibility Snapshot cost?
The AI Visibility Snapshot is free and comes with no obligation. It shows whether AI tools already recommend your business and where the gaps are.
How is Discovery billed?
Discovery is billed hourly for the time actually spent, with a not-to-exceed ceiling agreed before we begin. You’re never billed beyond it without your approval.
What happens if the work would go over the ceiling?
Work pauses and you receive a revised ceiling to approve before anything continues. Nothing is billed above the ceiling without your agreement.
Are Growth and Authority long-term contracts?
No. Growth and Authority are billed hourly for the time actually spent and invoiced monthly, with a not-to-exceed ceiling agreed for each month. There’s no long-term lock-in.
Why do some websites cost more to work on?
Sites with significant custom or legacy code take more time to change safely. For those sites, AMP quotes an assessment first and sets the implementation ceiling only after the assessment shows the real scope.
Does AI Marketing Partner only work with Maui businesses?
No. AMP is based in Kīhei, Maui, and works with businesses across Hawaiʻi and the mainland United States.
