About The 5-Minute Fee-Creep Check
from our crawl and measurement
The 5-Minute Fee-Creep Check Stop Your Card Processor From Quietly Overcharging You describes itself simply: "A free, plain-English guide to catching 'fee creep' on your merchant statements, the slow, quiet rate and fee increases payment processors add hoping you won't notice." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.6 out of 10.
Our crawl found a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file and a sitemap.

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can actually read your site and cite it in answers. Roughly two-thirds of sites are invisible to them. At 3.6/10, The 5-Minute Fee-Creep Check is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is “fee creep”?
Fee creep is the slow, quiet upward drift of what your payment processor charges you. A few basis points on the rate here, a new $20 “compliance” fee there, a $5 bump to the statement fee next month. Each change is small enough to slip past a busy owner — and that's the entire point. Stacked across a year and every line item, it's often hundreds of dollars a month leaking out.
How to fight it (and win)?
Be specific and dollarize it. Not “you raised my rate” — “your April statement billed 0.35% markup; my contract says 0.25%; that's $255 this month, refund it.” Demand it retroactively. Ask them to review the last 6–12 months for the same item, not just fix it going forward. Lean on the contract. Interchange-plus markup is fixed by agreement — anything over is an error, the strongest position you can hold.
