WHAT THRYV SELLS
What Thryv Search Boosts includes
Thryv is best known as small business software. Its pricing page lists Starter at $99 per month and Signature at $399 per month, and describes Boosts as “done-for-you marketing services” sold as add-ons with no published price.
Search Boosts, also called Thryv AEO and SEO, is the search add-on. Thryv says “Our experts handle everything for you”, covering Google Maps visibility, professionally written content, consistent listings, and optimization for AI answer engines, with automated reports, call tracking, and an ROI dashboard.
Paid ads are a separate Ads Boosts service, and reputation and social media management are Thryv software features rather than part of Search Boosts.
