MAVEN Gravity
Websites Built for the AI future of the Internet
The more mass you build, the harder you are to ignore.
Create your own Gravity.
SEO for AI answers, built into the site itself. The industry calls it generative engine optimization. We call it mass: structured data, a machine-readable version of every page, and content that answers real questions, so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, and whatever comes next can find you, read you, and cite you.
One flat monthly number. No hidden fees, no contracts, cancel anytime. And when the building’s done, the bill goes down.
The Internet Has Become Answers… and That’s Only the Beginning
People used to type a few words into Google and click through ten blue links. Now they ask a question, and AI answers it. “Who’s the best plumber in town?” “Is now a good time to sell?” “Where should we get brunch?” One answer comes back, with maybe two names in it.
Those names are not picked at random. AI engines pull toward the businesses with the most mass: real pages that answer real questions, structure underneath that a machine can read, reviews and hours and services wired in where the engines can find them.
And it’s moving past answers. Meta’s new Muse agent books the appointment and makes the reservation on your customer’s behalf, and every other AI company is building the same thing. An agent can only choose you if it can read you.
Most websites have almost none of that. Most agencies are still optimizing for 2019 Google.
Build the Mass. Customers Are Pulled In.
Every site on MAVEN Gravity is built on the same foundation:
A machine-readable twin of every page. Every page you publish automatically gets a clean version built for AI engines to find and cite. You write for people. The engines get their copy for free.
Structure underneath everything. Your hours, services, menu, reviews, and service areas are marked up so machines know exactly what you do and where you do it. Your five stars follow you into search and into AI answers.
Everything you post is now accessible by AI. Reels and Shorts never escape social media. AI can’t watch video, it reads descriptions or transcripts. And AI companies can’t afford to transcribe it all. YouTube alone takes in 500 hours of video every minute, 43.2 million minutes a day, before you even count Instagram, TikTok, and the rest. That’s why we put in the leg work to do it for them and hand AI their own AI-ready transcripts as permanent, discoverable text. This turns all your hard work into something that can be found and quoted for years, from your own website.
Real answers to real questions. One high-intent question at a time, answered in the first two sentences with a real number or a real next step. That sentence is what AI engines and search snippets quote.
Three Ways In
Everyone we host is on MAVEN Gravity. Motion and Momentum are what you add on top when you want people working on it too.
MAVEN Gravity
$199/mo
The platform, and the whole point of this. Managed hosting with a real person watching over your security, so updates, attacks, backups and downtime are our problem and never yours, a machine-readable twin of every page written for ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Grok to read, and structured data underneath all of it so the engines know exactly what they are looking at. The crawler door is held open, which matters more than it sounds: plenty of hosting companies quietly block AI altogether and never mention it to the customer paying them. Your Instagram gets transcribed into permanent pages on your own site, so what you actually say in a video becomes text an engine can read and quote, instead of disappearing with the reel. And the framework keeps improving on your site as we keep building it, automatically, without you or us having to do a thing.
MAVEN Gravity: Motion
$599/mo
Everything in Gravity, plus a person on your site (me, Jeff!). Whatever you need on the pages you already have, just send it: a change, an update, a new photo, this year’s prices, a new review wired in. For when you would rather not be the one keeping it alive.
MAVEN Gravity: Momentum
$1,750/mo
Everything in Gravity, plus the two of us building it. Your site built on our proven layouts, in your logo, colors, fonts and photos, three to four pages a month, your Google Business Profile dialed in, and one researched authority piece a month that answers a real question your customers are asking. You buy Momentum while there is building to do, not forever.
The Price Follows the Work
$1,750 a month while we build, and most sites take about three months. Then the building stops and you stay on MAVEN Gravity at $199, with the platform still doing everything it does. You are not dropped to a smaller plan. You are just done paying for the part that was building. No contract at any level, and you can cancel anytime. We may be the only vendor you’ll ever have whose bill goes down on time.
How We Work
Month by month, on purpose. Search and AI engines don’t trust a data dump. A site that sprouts twenty pages overnight looks manufactured. One that publishes month after month looks alive, and that consistency is the trust signal. The pacing is part of the strategy.
No guarantees. Receipts instead. We don’t promise rankings, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. We show you the work, we publish it where you can see it, no surprises. That’s how we’ve kept clients for nearly two decades.
Who We Are
MAVEN is our local marketing agency. MAVEN Gravity is where we build and run your website. MAVEN Top Banana is where we do your social media marketing to keep your feeds full. Our own hometown media platforms run on this very stack, so we host and grow your site the exact same way we host and grow ours.
Behind it all is SPYR, our brand agency since 2009, where our favorite work has always been the long haul: sites like The Minimalists and Kidney Stone Diet that we’ve shaped month after month as they grew.
When you need the brand itself, not just the site, that’s SPYR One at $6,997 a month: a logo and look designed from scratch, and design for everything beyond your website. The sites we design there live on MAVEN Gravity too.
There’s no sales team or AI agent here. It’s me (Jeff) and Amara, and we answer our own email.
Questions People Ask
What is MAVEN Gravity, exactly?
It’s the hosting, and everything we have built into it to make a site legible to AI. Most hosting is a server and nothing else. This is a server plus the machine-readable layer, the structured data, the open crawler door, and the transcription, all of it maintained and improved by us on every site we host, forever.
Is MAVEN Gravity an AI website builder?
No. Nothing here is generated from a template by a bot. Your site is designed and built by us, for your business, and the words come from you: your voice, your knowledge, and transcripts of what you actually say on camera. We use AI as a partner while we work, the way we use every other tool in the studio, and you’re still the author. The AI in what we do is the audience, not the author. Your site is built so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Grok can read it and quote it.
How much does MAVEN Gravity cost?
$199 a month for the platform, $599 a month if you want someone working on your site, and $1,750 a month while we are building it. Most sites start at $1,750 while we build, about three months, and then stay on the platform at $199. One flat number, no hidden fees, no contract. No surprises.
What do I get for $599 that I don’t get for $199?
A person (me, Jeff!). At $199 the platform does its job on its own, forever, and nobody touches your site. At $599 someone does, and it’s me: whatever you need on the pages you have, you send it and it’s done. A change, an update, a new photo, this year’s numbers, your new reviews wired in, your Google listing kept accurate. (Brand-new pages are Momentum.) A site starts aging the day it’s finished. Motion is how we keep that from happening.
Does Momentum include custom design?
It includes a custom-built site, not a custom brand. We build on the same proven layouts every Gravity site uses and make them yours with your logo, colors, fonts and photos. If you need the brand itself created, or design that goes beyond your website, that’s SPYR One, our brand agency, at $6,997 a month.
Is there a contract?
No. Every plan is month to month and you can cancel anytime. We pace the work to the payments, so nobody ever needs to be locked in.
What happens when the buildout is done?
The building stops and you stay on MAVEN Gravity at $199 a month. You keep everything we built, every new page still gets its machine-readable twin, your videos still get transcribed, and the framework keeps improving underneath you. If you would rather have me on your site for whatever you need, that’s Motion at $599.
Can you host the site I already have?
Yes, and that’s MAVEN Gravity at $199 a month. We migrate it onto our platform and you won’t notice a thing, except that every page starts getting its machine-readable twin and the engines can finally read you properly. Sites on template platforms like Wix or Squarespace get rebuilt in parallel and switched over when the new one is ready, usually within a few weeks.
Do you do social media?
That’s MAVEN Top Banana, our done-for-you social media marketing, and it’s a separate service with its own pricing. Top Banana is for when you want the feed full every week.
Do you work with businesses outside Chicago?
Yep! We’ve honed our chops making hyperlocal content for our Top Bananas all over the country. We’ve planned, shot, edited, and posted over 20,000 videos in the past few years, that’s proven that our method works everywhere.
What is generative engine optimization?
Generative engine optimization (GEO), sometimes called SEO for AI or AI search optimization, is the work of making your website easy for AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Grok to find, understand, and cite when they answer a question. Traditional SEO gets a page ranked in a list of links. GEO gets your business named in the answer. Every MAVEN Gravity site is built for both.
How much does generative engine optimization cost?
GEO agencies typically charge $2,000 to $5,000 a month for a focused program, and $10,000 to $25,000 or more at the larger firms. MAVEN Gravity builds it into the site itself instead of selling it as a separate service. $1,750 a month while we build, then $199 a month to keep the platform running and improving.
What does “built for AI” actually mean?
It means that when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Google’s AI Overviews, Claude, Perplexity, or Grok a question in your world, your site is structured so the engine can read it, trust it, and quote it. The same structure is what lets an agent like Meta’s Muse book you instead of the business next door. Most sites aren’t ready for this new reality. A surprising number are accidentally blocking AI engines at the door and don’t know it.
