Monthly care is month to month once your build is live. - What is not included: third-party costs such as ad spend, paid [directory listings](https://marketingandai.com/learn/glossary/#local-citation) and paid tools. You pay those directly, or your scope lists them separately. - No guarantees: no one controls which sources AI tools cite. We improve the signals they rely on and report what changes, with dates.
