Predictable Pricing
& Controlled Metadata Governance with AuthorityGrid
(*) AuthorityGrid is licensed per major version. Each licence includes use of the purchased version and standard baseline support. Ongoing operational coverage is available through Guardian Care Plan. The principle is “buy once, use it for the lifetime of Version vX”. The license covers the full product as well as standard support baseline.
For more complex environments, rollout, migration, governance consulting, and multi-site implementation are scoped separately. Custom implementation & deployment, data governance consulting, setup and/or migration, data restructuring advisory, and multi-site rollout are scoped separately based on digital estate complexity.
AuthorityGrid is licensed per version, runs locally, and keeps structured data governance under your control.

Pricing Questions about AuthorityGrid
Q1. Is AuthorityGrid a one-time licence or a subscription ?
A. AuthorityGrid is licensed per major version.
A one-time license purchase grants perpetual rights to use the purchased major version. There are no recurring platform fees. AuthorityGrid is licensed for different digital estate sizes and operating models: from single governed WordPress environments to multi-brand and high-governance deployments.
Q2. What happens when a new major version ships ?
A. You choose.
Stay on the current major version, or upgrade later when the estate is ready. Minor and patch releases within the licensed major version remain available without forcing a migration rhythm. Core stability and standard fixes for the purchased major version remain available even without Guardian Care Plan.
Q3. Do I need the Guardian Care Plan to receive updates within the major version ?
A. No.
No. The base licence covers the purchased major version and includes standard baseline support. Guardian Care Plan is optional and adds priority support, compatibility oversight, data governance reviews, and upgrade handling on your behalf.
Q4. Can an organisation upgrade from Standard to Professional or Enterprise later ?
A. Yes.
AuthorityGrid is designed to scale with estate complexity. A site can start with the baseline engine and later move into purpose classification, governance tooling, or broader implementation support.
Q5. Does AuthorityGrid require a SaaS platform ?
A. No.
The product doctrine is local-first. Any future control plane or managed governance layer remains optional, never mandatory.
Q6. Does AuthorityGrid replace Yoast, Rank Math, or other SEO plugins ?
A. Not by default.
AuthorityGrid is built to enrich, govern, or selectively override existing schema output where needed. Built-in conflict detection identifies overlapping output from Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, and WooCommerce. Today, AuthorityGrid can coexist with seven common SEO and schema plugins rather than demanding a clean-room rebuild.
Q7. Does AuthorityGrid replace Schema.org standards ?
A. No.
AuthorityGrid governs how structured data is generated, enriched, and controlled in WordPress while remaining fully aligned with the Schema.org while remaining aligned with the Schema.org vocabulary and data model.
Q8. Is it relevant for multilingual sites ?
A. Yes.
Multilingual governance is built into the product logic. WPML integration, language-scoped cache keys, purpose classification, and rule behavior can be aligned across translated content.
Q9. What does Enterprise include beyond the plugin itself ?
A. It depends on the estate.
Enterprise uses the same AuthorityGrid core, with a broader delivery, governance, and rollout scope around it.
Enterprise engagements can include architecture review, implementation planning, governance modelling, conflict remediation, CI/CD-aware rollout support, diagnostics, and governance refinement. Enterprise implementation usually includes:
- Dedicated implementation sprint (2 to 8 days consulting depending on the estate)
- Custom governance profile for the estate
- White-glove migration from existing schema setup
- Quarterly governance reviews with Care Program
Q10. Is AuthorityGrid only for Enterprise Customers ?
A. No.
The first reference implementations came from governance-heavy client environments, but the product is usable beyond enterprise-only contexts. The product architecture and design can apply for individuals and small businesses too. Clients can use their own frameworks, services, or internal models and bind them to their content through Page Purpose classification and Schema Authority Mode.
Q11. What is being bought in practice ?
A. A governed semantic operating layer.
Clients are buying cleaner Schema.org JSON-LD generation, purpose-aware enrichment, lower schema drift, stronger identity consistency, more explainable output, and a metadata layer that remains under their control.
A PRAGMATIC SOLUTIONWhy AuthorityGrid ?
Because
Structured Data Without Governance Drifts.
Most WordPress websites do not suffer from a total absence of structured data. They suffer from unmanaged, low-quality, or conflicting JSON-LD. IN practice, multiple plugins emit overlapping blocks. Legacy templates stay behind after redesigns. Multilingual content drifts away from the original intent. Hub pages exist publicly but never get linked semantically to the content that applies their concepts.
AuthorityGrid Suite addresses this kind of operational problem. It turns WordPress structured data into a well managed and controlled system of entities, surfaces, and signals — not a pile of semi-accidental markup fragments for AEO, LLMs or rich data. This approach is the difference that matters when the site needs to stay coherent for search engines, AI assistants, LLM retrieval, internal governance, and long-term brand clarity.
Engineered for Semantic Control
AuthorityGrid tells the machine-readable layer what the website actually means.
🔹 Pages describe services ? Govern the service entities and their exposure.
🔹 Hub pages and pillar organise content ? Classify their purpose and let AuthorityGrid build hasPart relationships to child pages automatically.
🔹 Other SEO plugins already emit schema data ? Then keep the baseline, enrich what matters, and stop semantic drift at the governance layer.
DEEP SEMANTIC DIAGNOSTICWhat’s Broken ?
Find It.
Govern It.
Clarify It.
Every rich content website loses its semantic coherence somewhere. The difference is knowing where and why. AuthorityGrid surfaces the machine-readable layer as an operational concern and reduces the hidden side effects of legacy plugin output and old templates.
Every Signal Matters
- Schema Drift & Conflict Detection — detect overlapping and/or contradictory output across 7 vendor plugins, WP themes, and legacy custom code with machine-readable conflict catalogs and automatic feature detection
- Purpose-Aware Enrichment — classify pages by editorial purpose (service pages, doctrine hubs, glossaries, case studies) and let AuthorityGrid build the right schema relationships automatically — while it is also possible to manually edit JSON data, connect articles, services, glossaries, and case studies to their governing concepts
- Local-First WordPress Operation — run the core engine fully inside WordPress, with no cloud nor SaaS diagnostics, epoch-based cache, governance-aware defaults, batch schema comparison, checklists, and CSV export built into your estate

INSTALLATIONHow It Works —
From Content to Controlled Graph
in 3 Steps
1️⃣ Install & Baseline
Install AuthorityGrid in WordPress and activate the local engine. The plugin generates a stable baseline graph for core pages, brand identity, articles, services, and selected enhancement modules — automatically.
2️⃣ Classify & Govern
Assign page purposes, configure visibility modes, review conflict detection, set Schema Authority Mode per type, and define which modules enrich which pages. Keep what already works. Govern what drifts. Enrich what matters.
3️⃣ Validate & Operate
Preview JSON-LD data by URL, run validation rules in advisory or blocking mode, inspect conflicts, compare schema site-wide, export diagnostics, and keep the semantic layer aligned with the technical estate and as content evolves.

Insights in Action:
Case Studies
& Exclusive Reports
Real-world impact in metadata governance is rarely visible in a screenshot. It appears in cleaner graphs, less drift, better entity coherence, cleaner visibility signals, stronger LLM machine-readable coherence, and lower editorial maintenance overhead.
Case Study:
Cleaning Schema Drift Across a Multilingual Services Estate
A professional-services website had overlapping schema from a theme, an SEO plugin, and years of manual exceptions. Service pages, expert pages, glossary terms, blog articles, and hub content were semantically disconnected.
Before:
🔻 Duplicate or conflicting JSON-LD Schema.org blocks
🔻 Inconsistent handling across multilingual pages and posts
🔻 No machine-readable link between services and related hub concepts
🔻 Editors avoiding schema changes because every change felt risky
After:
✅ Baseline graph clarified across well-defined 26 Schema.org types
✅ Pillar and hub pages classified with purpose codes and hasPart relationships
✅ Conflict detection identified 7 overlapping SEO and Schema data generation plugins with remediation guidance
✅ Reduced manual schema maintenance and cleaner data output and governance discipline
Data Story:
Why Structured Data Fails Quietly
Most websites lack markup altogether. They lack reliable, governed, high-quality structured data. The common failure pattern is gradual:
- multiple tools emit overlapping graph fragments
- services, pillar, and hub pages never connect to the content they organise
- multilingual pages diverge semantically
- editors stop touching schema data because the layer becomes fragile
Case Study:
Making a Professional Ecosystem Legible to Search and LLMs
A consulting estate website had frameworks, glossary entries, portfolio pages, service pages, pillar pages, and technical tooling pages spread across brands. Human readers could understand the logic. Machines could not.
Before:
🔻 Hub and pillar pages lived in isolation with no structured relationships
🔻 Supporting content like blog articles looked semantically generic
🔻 Cross-brand structure existed in prose but not in governed metadata
After:
✅ Hub and pillar pages became classified entities with purpose-driven relationships
✅ Relevant pages gained stable hasPart, about, and mentions links
✅ The ecosystem became more legible as a governed structure rather than a loose archive of pages
Exclusive Report:
AEO / LLM Metadata Governance Benchmarks
Most structured-data tools still optimise for visible snippets, Google, and plugin convenience. AuthorityGrid Suite is built for a different question: whether a digital estate can remain semantically consistent under real operating conditions, LLMs and AEO data needs.
Inside the Report:
🔹 Where schema drift usually starts
🔹 Why hub, pillar, and glossary pages fail to influence the rest of the digital estate
🔹 How local-first governance changes risk and lowers maintenance
🔹 What professional marketing teams should measure beyond “rich results”
Who Is This For ?
🔹 regulated and high-accountability digital estates and high-stakes marketing communication
🔹 multilingual service firms with content for different markets and regions
🔹 MarTech agencies handling complex WordPress stacks
🔹 owner-operators who care about GSC / AEO / LLM posture rather than cheap or free plugin unreliable data outputs

THE ORIGINSStop Treating
Structured Data
Like a Plugin Side Effect.
For years, the Schema.org data management ecosystem has worked inside environments where architecture, governance, visibility, and execution was not aligned across multiple brands, services, frameworks, and technical surfaces. The market for schema tools remained split between basic automated convenience plugins and remote SaaS semantic platforms. That gap left serious WordPress estates with too much improvisation and too little control.
AuthorityGrid Suite was designed mid-2017 for a different operating reality: self-hosted, no cloud nor SaaS dependencies, governance-aware, explainable, and modular. It evolved over the years. This product was shaped through our delivery practice to help marketing and communication teams model what the site actually is, where each entity and author is allowed to speak, and how those signals should be emitted under real constraints.
No mandatory SaaS. Built for semantic control. Local-first metadata control for professional marketing and communication teams.
