## Where to start if you are not sure

Pick the line closest to where you are and bring that one thing to a 30-minute scoping call.

### You know which process takes the most hours

Bring that one process to a scoping call and we will price the build. AI automation starts at $4,000 for a single workflow. [AI automation](https://methodcrew.com/services/ai-automation)

### You have a list of AI ideas and no order to them

A snapshot audit ranks them by return, with the cost and risk of each, in 1 to 2 weeks. It starts at $3,000. [AI readiness audit](https://methodcrew.com/services/ai-readiness-audit)

### Buyers do not find you on Google or in AI answers

The audit checks both, then lists what to fix first and what to rewrite. It starts at $3,500. [SEO and GEO](https://methodcrew.com/services/seo-and-geo)

### Something your team depends on is already live

A care plan watches every run, fixes failures and reports each month. Plans start at $1,500 a month. [Automation care plans](https://methodcrew.com/services/automation-care-plans)

## Strategy and advisory

Decide where AI pays off before anyone writes code. Advisory work ends in a ranked list of AI projects, each with a cost, a risk and an owner, and a priced plan for the first build. You can build it with us, with your own team or with another vendor.

| Service | What it is | Price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Corporate AI consulting](https://methodcrew.com/services/corporate-ai-consulting) | Use cases ranked by return, the best 1 or 2 piloted on your data, then a costed roadmap. | $12,000 to $40,000 per project | 3 to 8 weeks per phase |
| [AI readiness audit](https://methodcrew.com/services/ai-readiness-audit) | An assessment that ranks your AI opportunities by return and prices the first build. | $3,000 to $15,000 per project | 1 to 2 weeks (snapshot) or 3 to 4 weeks (full audit) |
| [Fractional AI lead](https://methodcrew.com/services/fractional-ai-lead) | An AI lead in your leadership meetings 2 to 5 days a month, owning the roadmap and budget. | $4,000 to $15,000 per month | 3-month initial term, then month to month |
| [AI workshops and team training](https://methodcrew.com/services/ai-workshops) | Sessions where staff practice on their own emails, documents and spreadsheets. | $3,000 to $12,000 per session | 2 weeks of preparation, then a half-day or full-day session |

## Automation

Rebuild the copy-paste and inbox sorting your team does every week. We rebuild the hand-offs between your tools so a record entered once reaches every system that needs it. Rules do most of the work. A language model reads the emails and PDFs that rules cannot, and a person checks anything it is unsure of.

| Service | What it is | Price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| [AI automation](https://methodcrew.com/services/ai-automation) | Workflows where a language model reads and sorts, and your existing systems do the rest. | $4,000 to $35,000 per project | 3 to 12 weeks |
| [Business process automation](https://methodcrew.com/services/business-process-automation) | One cross-team process, such as client onboarding, rebuilt so the hand-offs run on their own. | $5,000 to $40,000 per project | 4 to 12 weeks |
| [Sales and CRM automation](https://methodcrew.com/services/sales-crm-automation) | Leads routed to the right rep within minutes, with a follow-up draft waiting after each call. | $5,000 to $25,000 per project | 3 to 8 weeks |
| [Intelligent document processing](https://methodcrew.com/services/intelligent-document-processing) | Invoices, contracts and forms turned into clean, checked data. | $12,000 to $40,000 per project | 6 to 12 weeks |
| [n8n, Make, Zapier and API integrations](https://methodcrew.com/services/workflow-integrations) | Records moved between your CRM, inbox and finance tools without CSV exports. | $1,500 to $20,000 per project | 1 to 6 weeks |

## AI systems

Agents, copilots and voice systems built on your own data. We build these when a vendor's built-in AI stops at the edge of its own product. Each system runs on your accounts, reaches only the data and tools its spec allows and is tested against your own cases before launch.

| Service | What it is | Price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Custom AI agents and copilots](https://methodcrew.com/services/custom-ai-agents) | Agents that look things up in your CRM or helpdesk and take the next step, with approvals. | $15,000 to $90,000 per project | 6 to 12 weeks |
| [RAG and knowledge systems](https://methodcrew.com/services/rag-knowledge-systems) | Your documents turned into an assistant that cites its sources. | $15,000 to $75,000 per project | 5 to 12 weeks |
| [Voice AI and call automation](https://methodcrew.com/services/voice-ai-agents) | Phone agents on your existing number that book into your calendar and hand off to staff. | $6,000 to $40,000 per project | 3 to 8 weeks |

## Search and visibility

Technical SEO, plus pages written so AI answers can quote them. We fix what stops Google and AI crawlers reading your site, then rewrite the pages buyers ask about so ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews can quote them. A panel of buyer prompts, run before and after, shows which answers name you.

| Service | What it is | Price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| [SEO and GEO](https://methodcrew.com/services/seo-and-geo) | Technical SEO plus pages written to be quoted by ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews. | $3,500 to $15,000 per project | 6 to 10 weeks for the audit and sprint |
| [Answer engine optimization (AEO)](https://methodcrew.com/services/answer-engine-optimization) | 10 to 25 pages rewritten so AI answers can quote them, tracked on 30 to 50 buyer prompts. | $6,000 to $15,000 per project | 4 to 7 weeks |
| [Content operations](https://methodcrew.com/services/content-operations) | A pipeline from keyword to CMS draft, with an editor approving every piece. | $8,000 to $25,000 per project | 6 to 9 weeks |

## Web platforms

Next.js sites that Google and AI crawlers can read, wired to your CRM. We design and build in Next.js, so every page ships as HTML that Google and AI crawlers can read without running JavaScript. Service pages state scope, price and timeline, and every form writes to your CRM with the campaign that sent the visitor.

| Service | What it is | Price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Web design and development](https://methodcrew.com/services/web-design-development) | Custom Next.js sites, server-rendered so search engines and AI crawlers read every page. | $18,000 to $80,000 per project | 8 to 16 weeks |
| [Landing pages and conversion sites](https://methodcrew.com/services/landing-pages) | Single-goal pages for campaigns and launches, wired to your CRM and tracked to the lead. | $3,000 to $8,000 per project | 10 to 15 working days |

## Care and retainers

Monthly plans that watch live systems and keep search work moving. Live automations break when a vendor changes an API or a login token expires. A care plan watches every run and fixes what breaks. Search retainers work the same way, with a written plan at the start of each month and a report at the end.

| Service | What it is | Price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Automation care plans](https://methodcrew.com/services/automation-care-plans) | Monitoring, fixes and small changes for the automations you rely on. | $1,500 to $6,000 per month | 1 to 2 weeks to onboard, then monthly |
| [AI ops monitoring and improvement](https://methodcrew.com/services/ai-ops-monitoring) | Quality checks, cost control and model updates for live AI systems. | $1,500 to $5,000 per month | 2 to 4 weeks to set up, then monthly |
| [SEO and GEO retainers](https://methodcrew.com/services/seo-geo-retainers) | Monthly fixes and new pages, with a report on rankings and AI citations. | $3,000 to $8,000 per month | Monthly, with a 6-month minimum term |

## What we do not do

We do not build consumer apps, run cybersecurity audits or sell general digital marketing. If you need one of these, we will point you to someone who does it well. One more rule: if a plain rule-based automation does the job, we build that instead of an AI system, because it is cheaper to run.

## How every engagement runs

1. **Map** (1 to 2 weeks): Find the work worth automating and set the bar it must clear.
2. **Prove** (1 to 3 weeks): A working pilot on your real data before you commit to the full build.
3. **Build** (2 to 8 weeks): Production build with guardrails, tests and documentation.
4. **Run** (Monthly, for as long as it helps): We watch it, fix it and improve it, or hand it over completely.
