Pricing and billing
What does MGMT Core cost?
$400 per location per month, or $4,000 per location per year, which saves 17%. There is a one-time $199 setup fee per account. No contract. See the pricing page.
What does the $199 setup fee cover?
It is paid once per account, not per location. It covers your 60-minute setup call, connecting every location and your first AI visibility baseline.
Can I start with just one location?
Yes. Choose anywhere from one to fifty locations at checkout and add more whenever you need.
Is there a contract?
No contract. The monthly plan can be cancelled any time. The annual plan is paid up front for the year.
I have lots of locations. Is there a discount?
Pricing is per location. If you have ten or more, book a demo and we will talk it through.
How do I pay?
By card through secure checkout from Stripe. You will get a receipt by email straight away.
What is included
What is MGMT Core?
Software that watches your reviews, listings and AI visibility for every location, plus a named reputation specialist who fixes what matters. It is built and run by the team behind MGMT Reputation.
Is it software or a service?
Both, on purpose. The software watches every location every day. The specialist answers reviews, fixes listings and pitches the sources AI trusts. That mix is why it costs $400 and not $40.
What do I get each month?
Three things per location. Watch: daily checks of AI answers, reviews and listings. Fix: every Google review answered, negatives followed up by a specialist, and wrong details corrected. Report: a monthly report and a 30-minute call with your specialist.
What is not included?
We do not remove reviews, handle legal disputes, run ads, build websites or post on social media. If you need review removal, the team behind MGMT Core, MGMT Reputation, can help and we will introduce you.
Who is my specialist?
A named person on your account. They know your business, write replies in your voice and run your monthly call. You always know who to contact.
AI visibility
Which AI engines do you track?
ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity.
Can you guarantee AI will recommend us?
No, and nobody honestly can. Nobody controls what AI says. We track it, fix the causes we can influence, such as wrong listings and unanswered reviews, and pitch the websites AI trusts. You see the score move, or not, every month.
What is the AI Visibility Score?
How often AI assistants name your business when customers ask the questions that matter for your service and area. It is shown with who is named instead of you.
How do you choose the customer questions?
On your setup call we agree around ten real questions per location, such as “best dentist near me that takes new patients”. We track those every day.
What is source coverage?
The websites AI keeps citing when it answers your questions. We show which of them cover you, and your specialist pitches the ones that do not.
What is your AI visibility audit?
A one-off report showing whether AI names your business, who it names instead and which sources it trusts. It arrives within 2 business days, with no call required. Get yours.
Reviews and listings
How fast do you answer reviews?
Within one business day. Every Google review gets a reply in your voice, and negative reviews get a specialist follow-up within one business day.
Do you remove negative reviews?
No. We answer them professionally, which is what customers and AI both read. If you need a review removed, we will introduce you to MGMT Reputation, the team behind MGMT Core.
Do you write or buy reviews?
Never. We send review requests to your real customers and thank the ones who reply.
Which listing platforms do you cover?
The major directories, maps and GPS platforms, including Google, Apple Maps, Bing, Facebook and Waze. The exact set varies by country and business type, and your specialist sends you the list for each location. See platforms we cover.
What does “duplicates suppressed” mean?
Duplicate listings of the same location confuse customers and AI. We flag them and suppress or merge them where the platform allows.
Setup and who it is for
What happens after I sign up?
You get a receipt, then your specialist emails you to book the 60-minute setup call. We connect your locations, choose your tracked questions and run your baseline.
What do you need from me?
A list of your locations, manager access to your Google Business Profiles and a few notes on how you like to sound in replies.
Who is it for?
Businesses with more than one location: dental and medical, legal, home services, automotive, restaurants and franchise groups. See industries.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Read the plain-English summary on our security page.
Who is behind MGMT Core?
The team behind MGMT Reputation, a reputation management agency with offices in Chicago, Buffalo, Nashville, Seattle and St. Catharines. We run MGMT Core on our own offices first. See client zero.
