Directional estimate by products, retailers, brands, geo, catalog size, term, custom discount, and integrations — plus a lockable value equation. No account required.
Platform products sum base rates; AEO Report uses prompts, topics, and brand cuts below.
First retailer included; each additional ≈ +35%. Type to add a custom banner.
Uses the highest geo multiplier, plus ≈ +12% per extra region.
One account can span multiple brands. First brand included; each additional ≈ +20%.
Applied on top of term discount (compounded). Separate from the multi-year term incentive above.

Agency comparison
Savings vs per-SKU agency pricing
Many content / digital-shelf agencies bill per SKU (often again per retailer). Compare that model to the CIQ platform estimate above. Catalog size auto-seeds SKUs — override with the real in-scope count.
Defaulted from catalog band (5,000 midpoint).
Typical content enrichment / PDP rewrite fees run ~$25–$150 / SKU.
Agency annual (per SKU)
$225,000
5,000 billable SKU events × $45
CIQ annual (after discounts)
$21,600
Effective $4.32/SKU event
Annual savings with CIQ
$203,400
90.4% less than agency
Agency = SKUs × rate × refreshes × retailers = 5,000 × $45 × 1 × 1
Value exercise
Lock the value equation
Align on directional annual value vs CIQ investment before quoting. Frame revenue lift as directional (not a hard contractual KPI). Lock freezes assumptions so the equation stays consistent in the customer conversation.

Value equation
Annual value = (GMV × lift%) + (status-quo cost × avoidance%) + (hours saved × rate) = ($50,000,000 × 2%) + ($400,000 × 40%) + (80 hrs/mo × 12 × $85) = $1,000,000 + $160,000 + $81,600 = $1,241,600 Annual investment (CIQ) = $21,600 Net annual value = $1,220,000 ROI = 5648.1% · Payback = 0.2 mo · Value multiple = 57.5×
Value-share pricing
Price as a share of sales lift
Set CIQ annual fee as a fraction of the directional sales-lift value (GMV × lift%). Uses GMV and lift from the value exercise above. Typical commercial shares land in the 10–25% range so the customer still keeps most of the upside.
Customer keeps ≈ 85% of the lift after the CIQ fee.
Minimum fee if lift-share would price lower. 0 = none.
Maximum fee. 0 = uncapped.

Share equation
Sales lift = GMV × lift% = $50,000,000 × 2% = $1,000,000 Value-share fee = lift × share% = $1,000,000 × 15% = $150,000 Fee (no floor/cap binding) → $150,000 Customer keeps ≈ $850,000 (85% of lift) Platform list (after discounts) = $21,600 · delta = $128,400
