SEO optimization for a vibe-coded site is a flat pass from $1,800 that takes about a week. We take a site an AI built — usually shipped with missing titles, no schema, and a sitemap that never got made — and turn it into something Google and the AI engines can actually read, rank, and cite. Not a report you have to act on. The fixes, shipped and live.
Why vibe-coded sites need an SEO pass
AI builders are great at pretty and terrible at findable. The page looks finished, so nobody checks the parts search engines actually read, and those parts are usually empty. We keep a running list of the failures in our public SEO checklist: blank or duplicate title tags, no meta descriptions, zero structured data, a robots file quietly blocking the whole site, five pages all targeting the same phrase, headings that look like headings but aren’t marked up as any. This service is that checklist, run deep on your site and then done, not handed back as homework.
What the optimization pass covers
- Technical, fixed: title tags and meta descriptions written for every page, canonical and redirect hygiene, an XML sitemap, a robots file that lets the right crawlers in, and indexing checked in Search Console.
- On-page: one clear target per page, a real heading structure, internal links that pass authority to the pages that matter, and image alt text that isn’t “image1.png”.
- Schema, implemented: Organization, Service, FAQ, Article, and Product where they fit — the structured data Google and AI engines lean on, written into the templates so new pages inherit it.
- AI-search readiness: answer-first structure on key pages, an
llms.txtmap, consistent business facts across the web, and a check that AI crawlers can read you at all — the same tactics from our AI-citation guide. - A before/after: what was broken, what we changed, and where you stand in Search Console when we hand it back. You own every change — it lives in your GitHub, editable by anyone, including you.
Optimization or the audit — which one?
They’re a pair. Our SEO + AI-search audit is the diagnosis: a prioritized fix list with effort estimates and, if you want it, ongoing monthly work. This optimization pass is the doing — one flat fee, one week, the whole list closed out. Buy the audit if you have a developer to hand it to. Buy the optimization if you’d rather it just be fixed. Plenty of people buy the audit, read it, and come back for this.
What we won’t do
Buy links, spin up 400 AI listicles, or promise you position one. Nobody honest can promise a ranking, and anyone who does is selling the promise, not the result. Search rewards sites that deserve to win; our job is to make sure nothing technical is stopping yours from doing that.
Common questions
How much does SEO optimization for a website cost?
Our flat SEO optimization pass starts at $1,800 and takes about a week, covering technical fixes, on-page work, schema, internal linking, and AI-search readiness, all implemented and live. A bigger site with a lot of pages runs higher, but you get one flat number before we start — never an hourly meter.
Is this different from your SEO audit?
Yes. The $1,200 audit diagnoses and prioritizes; this pass fixes. The audit is a document; the optimization is the work done to your live site. If you only want one, pick based on whether you have someone to implement the findings.
Will this get me ranked number one?
No honest shop can promise a specific ranking, and we won’t. What we can promise is that your site will be technically sound, properly structured, and readable by both Google and AI engines — which is the part most vibe-coded sites get wrong and the part you fully control.
Do I need this if you built my site?
No. Every site we build ships search- and AI-ready as part of the flat build fee, so this service is for sites built elsewhere — by an AI builder, a previous developer, or a weekend of vibe coding that never got the SEO layer.
Can you optimize a site you didn’t build?
That’s the whole point of this one. Whether it came out of Wix, Framer, WordPress, or a pile of AI-generated HTML, we can read it, fix it, and hand it back yours. If the build itself is broken beyond SEO, that’s a rescue conversation instead.
