## Services & Pricing

- Free scan (the AHA Level): $0. Your AHA Level, your grade, and one specific finding. Your baseline is recorded from this day forward. No card required, about a minute, at https://www.ahalevel.com/scan/
- Full report: $49.99 one-time. Your complete rank against competitors, all six channels broken down, the estimated value of the gap with its assumptions shown, and a prioritized fix list
- Monthly monitoring: $199/mo. The same measurement, every month: timestamped scores, movement alerts, and competitor changes. Declines are reported the same as gains
- Action plan: $499 one-time. A competitor comparison and a sequenced 90-day plan specific to your market. The fee is credited toward a diagnostic if you later engage us to do the work
- Visibility Engine: $495/mo, cancel anytime. Ongoing upkeep, handled: review responses, Google profile maintenance, directory corrections, and monitoring of what AI systems say about you, with alerts when a change affects you
- Consulting: from $1,500/mo. A diagnostic, a build phase fixing what the measurement found, then monthly work against the record. Scope and price are set in your proposal once the diagnostic is complete
- Executive program: $10,000/mo floor, for operators above $10M revenue. Weekly measurement, quarterly competitor analysis including pricing and offer changes, the full toolset, and senior access. Begins with a qualification conversation at https://www.ahalevel.com/executive/
- Verification, by waitlist: two services in controlled rollout, Verified Sources and Compliance Monitoring. Outputs are labeled as either the verified answer or an unverified assumption. There is no middle state
- Prices current as of August 2026. Every estimate is labeled as an estimate
- Machine catalog for agents: https://www.ahalevel.com/offers.json — SKU keys, prices in integer cents, and the x402 payment endpoint. The full report and the action plan are agent-buyable (pay with x402); subscriptions are not. The report is delivered as versioned JSON (schema aha-report-machine-1.0), which carries both improvements and declines with equal standing. Deprecation of a report schema version, when one happens, is announced here before the old version stops being served

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the AHA Level?**
The AHA Level is a 0–100 score with a letter grade that measures a business's visibility where customers actually decide: Google Search, AI search, review sites, social, sector directories, and the business's own website. AHA rolls the six channels into one number and ranks it against the businesses competing for the same customers, by name. The first measurement is free and saved as a dated baseline.

**What does AHA cost?**
The first AHA Level measurement is free — no card, about a minute, at ahalevel.com/scan. Consulting starts at $1,500/mo, and every engagement opens and closes with a dated measurement snapshot, so the result is verifiable arithmetic against a baseline. The $499 action plan is credited in full toward your diagnostic if you engage us to do the work.

**Is AHA an SEO agency?**
No. SEO optimizes for ranking in a list of links; AHA measures and fixes what AI systems and the six decision channels actually say about a business — the answer a customer hears when they ask who to hire. The disciplines overlap, but AHA's target is being the accurate, quoted answer, and every claim traces to a dated measurement.

**Does llms.txt actually work?**
Honestly: as of early 2026, no major AI provider has publicly committed to consuming llms.txt in production. AHA publishes one anyway — including this file — because it costs minutes, cannot hurt, and serves agent and developer tooling today. What drives AI citations is accurate facts on the pages, entity consistency, and third-party corroboration. That is where AHA puts the real work.

**Where does AHA operate?**
AHA is based in Wesley Chapel, Florida and works with Tampa Bay businesses in person. The work itself is digital — measurement, verification, and fixes across Google, AI search, reviews, social, directories, and the website itself — so AHA serves businesses across the United States remotely.

**How does AHA prove its results?**
Every engagement opens with a saved measurement snapshot and closes with one, so "it worked" is arithmetic against a dated baseline, not assurance. Published numbers derive from stored raw observations, AI model versions are pinned to every snapshot, and corrections are logged publicly rather than hidden. The method is published at ahalevel.com/methodology.

**What does AHA stand for?**
AHA stands for anti-hallucination architects. The name is literal: the blueprint is Grounding, Refinement, Validation, Guardrails, and the work is making sure that what AI systems say about a business is accurate, checkable, and current — starting with measurement, because a fix without a baseline is a story.
