General

What is HireSquadAI?

HireSquadAI lets you hire an AI squad: a senior human expert leading specialist AI agents, working as your team. Squads cover SEO, AI search (GEO), local SEO, content, design, CRO, tracking, ClickUp, AI agents and app development, plus AI consultancy.

Is the work done by AI or by people?

Both. AI agents handle the volume; a senior expert owns the strategy and signs off every deliverable. Nothing reaches you unreviewed.

How much does it cost?

Fixed-price products start at $149, monthly squads start at $129 per month, and AI consultancy projects start at $5,000. Every price is shown in USD, EUR and GBP.

How is this different from an agency or a freelancer?

You get an agency's range at a freelancer's speed, with published prices. One accountable lead, no account-manager chain, and plans you can pause or cancel monthly.

How fast can I start?

Fixed-price products start the day you pay: you get an intake form and a kickoff slot right after checkout. Monthly squads start within five business days.

Can I buy just one product, like an SEO audit?

Yes. Every product can be bought on its own, and audit fees are credited toward a matching monthly squad if you upgrade within 30 days.

Do you do AI consultancy and integration?

Yes. Start with the AI Workflow Audit, or book a call for integration projects connecting AI to tools like ClickUp, your CRM, website and inbox.

Does the SEO Squad optimize for ChatGPT and AI search?

Yes. We optimize for Google and for AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews (GEO and AEO).

Who owns the work, and is my data safe?

You own 100% of what we produce. Your data is used only for your work and never to train AI models.

Can I pause or cancel?

Yes. Monthly squads can be paused or cancelled anytime, with no long-term contract.

Buying, payments & guarantee

How do I pay?

By card through Stripe's secure checkout, in USD, EUR or GBP. Monthly plans renew automatically until you cancel.

Which currency will I be charged in?

The currency you choose in the site's currency menu: US dollars, euros or British pounds.

Do prices include VAT or sales tax?

Any applicable tax is calculated and shown at checkout before you pay, and appears on your invoice.

Do I get an invoice?

Yes. Stripe emails a receipt and invoice automatically, and you can download past invoices from your billing portal.

What happens after I buy?

You receive a short intake form and a link to book your kickoff. Work starts as soon as we have your answers and access.

What is your guarantee?

Audits and one-off products come with a 7-day money-back guarantee. For monthly squads, if your first deliverable isn't with you within 7 days, your first month is free.

AI consultancy

What does an AI consultant do?

An AI consultant maps how your business works, finds the tasks AI can safely take over, picks the right tools and helps you roll them out.

How much does AI consultancy cost?

The AI Workflow Audit is a fixed $1,490. Integration and automation projects start from $5,000 and are quoted after a free call.

How long does an AI project take?

The audit takes two weeks. Most first automation projects go live within four to eight weeks.

Do you build the solutions or just advise?

Both. We recommend, build, integrate and then run them with our squads if you want.

Is our data safe?

We use business-grade AI tools with data-training switched off, follow GDPR, and sign an NDA on request.

SEO Squad

How much does it cost to hire an SEO squad?

A one-off SEO audit is $490, a full SEO Strategy Pack is $1,490, and monthly SEO squads start at $990 per month. Prices are also shown in EUR and GBP.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Technical fixes can lift rankings within weeks; new content usually compounds over three to six months. You get a progress report every month.

Do you optimize for AI search as well as Google?

Yes. Every SEO Squad plan includes GEO checks for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews.

AI Search Squad

What is GEO (generative engine optimization)?

GEO is the work of getting your brand mentioned and cited in answers from AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews.

What's the difference between GEO, AEO and SEO?

SEO targets rankings in search results; AEO targets direct answers such as featured snippets and voice; GEO targets citations inside AI-generated answers. They share foundations, so our squads cover all three.

How do you measure AI visibility?

We run a fixed set of buyer prompts across the main AI engines each month and track how often you are mentioned or cited compared with your competitors.

Local Squad

What is Google Business Profile management?

It is the ongoing upkeep of your Google listing: posts, photos, review replies, Q&A and accurate business details, so you stay visible on Google Maps and Search.

How much does local SEO cost?

A one-off Google Business Profile Setup is $290 per location; monthly management with the Local Squad is $149 per month per location.

Who writes the review replies?

AI drafts each reply in your tone and a human checks it. You can ask to approve replies before they are posted.

Content Squad

Is the content written by AI?

AI agents handle research and first drafts. A senior human editor rewrites for your voice, fact-checks and approves every piece before you see it.

How many articles do I get each month?

Content Starter includes 4 SEO articles of about 1,200 words per month; Content Growth includes 10 articles plus 2 refreshes of existing posts.

Can you publish to my website?

Yes, on WordPress, Webflow, Shopify and most CMSs, including images, meta titles and internal links.

Design Squad

How does the design subscription work?

You add requests to your board and your squad works on one at a time, in order. Most requests come back within a few business days, and revisions are included.

What can I request?

Brand assets, UI and UX design, website and landing pages, presentations, ads and social creative.

Why are spots limited?

Each senior designer works with a small number of clients so quality and turnaround never slip. When spots are full, we open a waiting list.

CRO Squad

What is a CRO audit?

A structured review of a landing page or funnel that finds what stops visitors from converting and ranks the fixes by impact.

How much traffic do I need for A/B testing?

As a rule of thumb, about 5,000 monthly sessions per tested page. Below that, an audit and best-practice fixes are the better investment.

How much does a CRO audit cost?

A CRO audit of one funnel or landing page is $690.

Tracking & Consent Squad

What is Google Consent Mode v2?

A Google framework that tells Analytics and Ads what each visitor consented to, so tags adapt and Google can model the conversions you would otherwise lose.

Do I need a cookie banner?

If you use non-essential cookies such as analytics or advertising with visitors from the EU or UK, you generally need their consent first. This is not legal advice; check with your adviser.

Which cookie banner tools do you support?

Cookiebot, CookieYes, Complianz, Usercentrics, OneTrust and other Google-certified consent platforms.

ClickUp Squad

How much does a ClickUp setup cost?

ClickUp Workspace Setup for one team of up to 10 users is $990, including structure, statuses, 5 automations, a dashboard and a training video.

How long does setup take?

About 10 business days from your kickoff call.

Can you migrate us from Asana, Trello or Monday?

Yes. Migrations are quoted after a short call because they depend on data volume.

AI Agents Squad

What can an AI agent do for my business?

Answer customer questions, capture and qualify leads, book calls, and handle repetitive admin such as data entry and follow-ups.

How much does an AI support agent cost?

The AI Support Agent is $990 to set up plus $149 per month for hosting, monitoring and monthly tuning.

What happens if the agent doesn't know an answer?

It says so and hands the conversation to your team by email or chat. We review conversations monthly and close the gaps.

App Developer Squad

How much does it cost to build an app?

It depends on scope. After a free scoping call you get a fixed quote, split into milestones.

How fast can you deliver?

Most MVPs ship a first working version within a few weeks, then improve in weekly releases.

Which technologies do you use?

Modern web and mobile stacks such as Next.js, React, React Native and Node, chosen to fit your project.
