Frequently Asked Questions
Is Anthroly right for Startup CTOs?
Yes. Anthroly is built for Startup CTOs who need SEO and AI-citation results without full-time SEO ops. Agents plus humans execute; you get weekly reports and strategic oversight.
How quickly will I see results?
Most Startup CTOs see the Go-live fee ship in 30 days, then monthly Discover / Trust / Contact work. Rankings and citations compound; we do not guarantee a traffic number. Only 10 slots. We set up and run both agents ourselves — this is not a dashboard we sell to everyone. $216 start fee to claim a slot and begin building both agents. When you are happy: $1,000 go-live fee + $500/month to run them, with daily updates. If you are not happy at any point, we refund the $1,000 go-live fee. In full. The $216 start fee is how you claim a slot. $500/month is for the month we already ran the agents. Scoped to CTO/Technical Co-Founders, not a bloated agency retainer.
Do I need technical knowledge to use Anthroly?
No. Our team handles technical SEO, content, and links. Reports stay clear for Startup CTOs; deeper strategy calls are available when you want them.
How does Anthroly compare to hiring an in-house SEO or agency?
In-house SEO often costs $8,000–$25,000+/month fully loaded. Only 10 slots. We set up and run both agents ourselves — this is not a dashboard we sell to everyone. $216 start fee to claim a slot and begin building both agents. When you are happy: $1,000 go-live fee + $500/month to run them, with daily updates. If you are not happy at any point, we refund the $1,000 go-live fee. In full. The $216 start fee is how you claim a slot. $500/month is for the month we already ran the agents. You get the Anthroly Dual Agents instead of bloated overhead.
What makes AI SEO and AEO different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO targets Google blue links. AI SEO and AEO also optimize for AI Overviews and assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Anthroly covers both so customers find you in classic search and AI answers.
