Question 1

what is agent engine optimization

Accepted Answer

AEO is the practice of making your business discoverable, verifiable, and recommendable by AI agents, not just Google. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a recommendation in your category, AEO ensures your name is in the answer. It combines technical infrastructure (schema, security, speed), entity building (citations, directories, knowledge graphs), and ongoing LLM monitoring.

Question 2

how much does a build cost

Accepted Answer

Foundation starts at $2,500 NZD per month. Growth at $4,500 NZD. Sovereign is custom-quoted based on infrastructure scope. All tiers are fixed monthly, no hourly billing, no scope-creep invoices. You get a fixed quote before anything begins.

Question 3

do i own what you build

Accepted Answer

Yes. Completely. Code, schema, infrastructure, accounts. Everything ships to your control. There is no licence, no recurring fee on the build itself, no lock-in. Even if you cancel monthly monitoring, you keep every technical improvement we deployed.

Question 4

are you an agency

Accepted Answer

No. An agency sells you other people's tools and marks them up. 10NZ.X is a builder. The same person who scopes the work writes the code and runs it in production first. Your stack runs on our metal before it runs on yours.

Question 5

what stack do you use

Accepted Answer

Proxmox VE for bare-metal virtualisation. Hardened Linux VMs. n8n for local workflow automation. ZFS for storage with snapshot replication. WireGuard or Tailscale for zero-trust remote access. Self-hosted LLM probes (Ollama, etc.) for monitoring. The stack is open-source, auditable, and ships to your control.

Question 6

how fast can you turn things around

Accepted Answer

Domain scan: instant. Foundation onboarding: two weeks. Full Growth implementation: four to six weeks. Sovereign infrastructure builds: eight to twelve weeks. Speed comes from doing the work, not from coordinating a team.

Question 7

where does my data go

Accepted Answer

Under the Privacy Act 2020, you're accountable for your data wherever it goes. We process and store everything on infrastructure we control in Aotearoa. No offshore APIs. No US cloud dependencies. No hidden jurisdiction clauses. Your scan data, your reports, your prompts, none of it leaves the country unless you explicitly configure it to.
