Why we wrote this. We ship work like this ourselves — not as a reseller or a marketplace. The timelines, deliverables, and price bands below come from real engagements we've run end-to-end at Smartly Built Ventures Limited (trading as Vibed Ventures).

Who this is for

  • Founders weighing an SEO agency vs an AI-built site
  • Marketing leads pressured to 'use AI for SEO'
  • Anyone allergic to SEO snake oil

What you get

  • What 'AI SEO' actually means in 2026 (and what it doesn't)
  • Where AI shrinks weeks of work to days (drafts, briefs, schema, hub/spoke planning)
  • Where AI fails (E-E-A-T, real expertise, link earning)
  • What to measure month-by-month so you know if it's working

Frequently asked

  • Will Google penalise AI content?

    Google penalises unhelpful content. AI-assisted content that's reviewed, accurate, and useful ranks fine — their own documentation says so.

  • How fast can a new site rank?

    It depends on the niche and the content. Technical floor in week one; meaningful organic traffic usually takes months. Anyone promising 'page one in 30 days' on competitive terms is lying.
