What we measured about it: agencies pay $44.63 a click to reach you on this query; that alone tells you what your attention is worth.
Run on your market, a read shows: the baseline measurements any consultant you hire should have to beat: your real search demand under every phrasing, which AI answers in your market are open, partial or closed (with the evidence), what your competitors run in the public ad archives, and your break-even numbers computed from your own economics.

"Seo audit" draws 5,400 searches a month and "free seo audit" 1,300 searches a month, where a wall of lead-generation tools waits. measured
The numbers an honest engagement starts with
Before any retainer: the measured demand for what you sell, under every phrasing. The click price against your unit economics, so "more traffic" has a denominator. The state of the AI answers on your buyers' questions, because a growing share of search never reaches the ranked list. And every figure sourced and dated, so you can check it. A consultant who cannot produce these in week one is selling weather.
Free audits, priced honestly
A free audit is a lead form with a PDF attached; the 1,300 searches a month searching for one each month are the product, not the customer. Pay for measurement once, own it, and let any consultant you hire argue against a number instead of against your patience.
One read: your demand, your winnable AI answers, every competitor's ads, and your site's catch rate. Price and scope on a short call, plainly.
