Here's exactly what happens, step by step.
Two ways to work with us: Altyzo runs it for you (Managed), or you license the software and run it yourself. Every step, cost and timeline is below.
Then it splits — done-for-you or run-it-yourself.
Full-Surface Audit
2 weeks · $7,500The standalone deliverable: your prompt map across Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude — who wins each prompt today, why it isn't you, and the fix for each. It's yours whether we proceed or not, and it's credited to month one if we do.
Kickoff + access
Week 1CMS and Google Search Console access, your brand and product docs, one strategy call to lock the priority prompts. About two hours of your time total.
Groundwork
Weeks 2–6Entity graph, schema, knowledge base, technical fixes — the layer that makes engines state your facts instead of guessing. Unsexy, and the reason later steps work.
Publish + corroborate
Weeks 4–12The content engine ships weekly — you approve via a review queue, ~48-hour turnaround keeps it moving. In parallel, the authority campaign builds third-party ground: directories, earned media, community presence.
Compound + report
OngoingMonthly board-ready report: citations earned, AI referral traffic, pipeline attribution — not a visibility score. At day 90, the citation guarantee checkpoint: new citations on your agreed priority prompts, or we keep working free until they land.
Fit call
30–45 minA working call, not a demo deck: does self-hosting fit your stack, do you have Docker-capable infrastructure, what does your client list look like. We'll tell you if Managed is the better door.
Free pilot
14 daysOn our server, on one of your client sites: up to 4 drafts and a technical fix list, reviewed by your team in the dashboard. Nothing is published, and we delete the data at the end unless you buy. We measure your review minutes per client.
License + invoice
$30,000 one-timeOne license agreement, paid 50% at signing and 50% once the platform is live on your server. The first three licenses are $20,000, for a named case study. No tiers to negotiate, no seats to count, no per-client license math.
Delivery
Target: within a weekDocker image, license key, and deployment docs. We do the setup with you on your own infrastructure. You supply your own AI provider API keys.
Onboarding
In our own use, about 2 days to the first approved pieceConnect a client, configure brand voice, set target prompts. The agents start working and your team reviews the output.
Maintenance
Year 1 included · then $6,000/yr optionalCovers API updates, new engine support, and support. Cancel anytime — your license and deployment keep running. It's optional because the software is yours.
What a sales process looks like when the product is the pitch.
We publish the process because a hidden one would be a tell. These are the defaults on every engagement — not the exceptions.
If any of it reads different in practice, that's a complaint to license@altyzo.com.
No urgency theater
Two managed clients per month is a real constraint — we'll tell you the queue position, not invent a countdown timer.
No surprise tiers
The price is the price: $8K/mo managed, $30K license (year 1 of maintenance included), then $6K/yr optional maintenance. Nothing is 'custom quote' to hide a bigger number.
No lock-in mechanics
Cancel Managed after the initial term with 30 days' notice and keep everything we built. Cancel maintenance and the platform keeps running.
No fit-fudging
Pre-revenue, single-location local, cheapest-option shopping — we'll redirect you. A mismatched client churns and takes our reputation with it.
What buyers ask before they apply.
Managed: application to kickoff is typically 2-4 weeks including the audit. License: we aim to have the platform deployed within a week of the agreement. The audit is the long pole for Managed — and it's deliberate, because it makes month one produce work instead of discovery calls.
Start with a free pilot, or apply for Managed.
Agencies start with a free pilot, brands with an application for Managed. The fit check is honest in both directions.
