Is there a free version?

Yes. The free scan reads your site in about twenty seconds — no email and no payment — and names one adjacent business your site already evidences but doesn't sell, with the evidence taken from your own pages. It's the taste before the paid report, which goes deeper and gives you the rewrites.

Why is it fixed-fee instead of a retainer?

Because the deliverable is a report, not an ongoing service. You get a diagnosis and the exact moves to make, at a price you see before you buy. There's no monthly commitment and no open-ended scope. You read it, act on it yourself, and come back only if you want the next tier.

At VANTARE the ladder is fixed and public: a free scan, $495 for Lighthouse + Beachhead, and $899 for the Deeper Dive — all prices in US dollars. There's no call, no retainer, and no custom quote. You pay the fixed fee and the report is emailed to you: Lighthouse + Beachhead within 24 hours of payment, the Deeper Dive within 24 to 48 hours of your questionnaire answers.

What you get at each price

The Deeper Dive includes everything in the $495 tier. The $495 is the strategic read plus the AI-visibility read, a homepage rewrite and drafted pages; the Deeper Dive shapes the same report with your answers to a written questionnaire (no call), including directions you do not want to take, and reads more of your site.

Free — the scan. Names one adjacent business your site already evidences but doesn't sell, with the evidence taken from your own pages. No email, about twenty seconds.
$495 — Lighthouse + Beachhead. A fresh-eyes read of what you do best, the adjacent opportunity your positioning hides, who currently answers your buyers' search questions in public search results, and a before/after homepage rewrite — with the sources it used listed, and statements to verify flagged — plus the AI-search (GEO) blueprint and answer-first drafted pages for your key pages as ready-to-paste copy.
$899 — Deeper Dive. All of the above, shaped by your answers to 10 to 14 written questions sent after payment (no call), including what you will not take on, so the recommendations can take that into account. It also reads more of your site and allows a wider research pass.

What's included in the free assessment

The free scan reads your site in about twenty seconds — no email and no payment — and names one adjacent business your existing expertise could credibly claim but that you aren't selling, with the evidence for it taken from your own pages. It runs the read three times independently and tells you how many of those reads landed on the same thing. It's the check before the paid report, which goes deeper and hands you the rewrites.

Why it's fixed-fee, not a retainer

Because the deliverable is a report, not an ongoing service. You see the price before you buy, you get a diagnosis and the exact moves to make, and there's no monthly commitment or open-ended scope. You read it, act on it yourself, and come back only if you want the next tier. VANTARE recommends; you publish — and nothing happens to your live site without you.

A report names the opportunity and the moves; what you earn from it depends on what you do with it. No one can promise an outcome or a citation from a read — AI visibility shifts month to month. What the fixed fee buys is a clear, sourced view of where you stand and what to change.

See it for your business. VANTARE reads your site with fresh eyes, writes page drafts that make your expertise clearer to AI-assisted search and to customers, and names the adjacent opportunity you're underselling. It is a one-time report you review and publish; see a sample.
