ChatGPT gets around 37.5 million searches per day. That number keeps climbing.
Yet most businesses are still playing by the old SEO rulebook. Here's the problem: while you're optimizing for Google, your competitors might already be capturing attention on AI platforms where your traditional strategy doesn't even show up.
Ever heard of Generative Engine Optimization?
If the answer is no, you're definitely not alone. GEO is still pretty new territory. But here's what makes it different from regular SEO: instead of just ranking on search engines, you're optimizing content so AI tools actually reference and cite your business.
We spent months testing agencies to see who actually gets this stuff right. Most of them? They're just slapping "AI optimization" onto their existing services without understanding what makes AI-powered search tick.
But a few agencies have figured it out. They're not just talking about GEO—they're delivering real results.
That's why we put together this list of 11 agencies that actually know what they're doing. Some excel at technical implementation. Others focus on content strategies that get you cited by large language models. Let’s dive in and look at the differences closely.
While most agencies bolt GEO onto their existing SEO packages, Darwin has taken a radically different approach. They’ve built an integrated methodology combining Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), SEO fundamentals, and AI-first content workflows—all engineered to help you show up when it matters most: in AI-generated answers.
What makes Darwin unique is their holistic stack: they unify brand storytelling, structured optimization, and prompt engineering to create "LLM-friendly ecosystems"—environments where your business becomes a source of truth for AI.
Whether you're early in the GEO game or trying to scale AI visibility across your brand, Darwin offers a hybrid of technical depth and narrative clarity—the combo that gets businesses mentioned in the new AI-driven web.
There are lots of agencies claiming they can handle GEO, but here's what makes Omniscient Digital different: they're run by former growth leaders from HubSpot, Shopify, and Workato who actually built the organic strategies these companies are known for.
This isn't just another agency with impressive client names. These are the people who created the playbooks.
Most agencies chase traffic numbers. Omniscient chases revenue. Their service lineup reflects this focus:
What sets them apart? They don't hand you a thousand-item task list. Instead, they identify the handful of high-leverage projects that actually move the needle on your bottom line.
Omniscient's full-service engagements start at $10,000 per month [14]. Steep? Maybe. But their track record speaks for itself.
Jasper saw an 810% increase in organic sessions with product signups jumping 400X [14]. Order.co experienced 2117% growth in blog organic sessions and conversions multiplied by 39 [14]. Smartling generated $3.7 million in pipeline through organic search alone [14].
SuperTokens doubled their organic traffic and generated millions in pipeline. AppSumo grew organic traffic by 843% with revenue from that channel increasing 340% [5].
The results aren't accidents. They're what happens when you work with people who've already proven they can build million-dollar organic channels.
An engineer-turned-rapper-turned-SEO expert walks into a boardroom...
That's not the setup for a joke. That's actually Mike King, the founder of iPullRank, and his unconventional background explains why this New York agency tackles problems other firms can't solve.
Most agencies talk about being "technical." iPullRank actually delivers on it:
What makes them different? They call it "content engineering" – basically reverse-engineering how search engines expect content to behave [5]. It's not just writing. It's building content like you'd build software.
iPullRank doesn't do cookie-cutter packages. Their pricing is custom based on project complexity and client needs [19]. As a high-touch agency led by a prominent industry expert, they command premium rates [19].
You'll need to contact them directly for specific numbers [10]. But considering their track record of generating billions in revenue through organic search optimization, the ROI potential for enterprise clients with complex technical challenges is substantial [14].
Revenue matters more than traffic. Sounds obvious, right?
Yet most B2B SaaS companies still chase page views instead of pipeline. Growth Plays gets this backwards priority straight. This Los Angeles-based agency builds content engines that actually generate qualified leads and close deals.
Growth Plays operates where SEO meets sales strategy. Their services focus on measurable business outcomes:
What sets them apart? They build SEO roadmaps that prioritize bottom-line impact [2]. No vanity metrics. No endless keyword lists. Just strategies that move the needle on revenue.
Growth Plays uses custom pricing that varies with demand [10]. But the investment pays off. Ganesh Datta, Cofounder & CTO of Cortex, puts it simply: "We're getting a lot of inbound demos from our content, and we're able to close a lot of deals from that." [11].
Most SEO agencies will assign your account to someone three levels down from the person who sold you.
Not OGM.
Founded by Nigel Stevens, this Barcelona-based consultancy does something most agencies won't: the founder actually looks at your stuff [2]. We're talking hands-on sitemap audits, direct strategy calls, and none of that "account manager shuffle" you get elsewhere.
OGM focuses specifically on non-paid growth for fast-growing SaaS and B2B companies [13]. Here's what they actually do:
The difference? While other agencies drown you in 50-page reports, OGM asks one question: "Will this actually drive pipeline?" [2]
Want specific pricing? You'll need to contact them directly.
OGM works through deep partnerships, not one-off audits [14]. They integrate with your team and basically co-own your SEO success offering custom pricing.
Given their internal tech stack for data-driven reporting [5], the investment makes sense for SaaS companies serious about organic growth through specialized expertise.
SaaS marketing gets complicated fast. Most agencies treat it like any other industry, throwing generic content strategies at complex buyer journeys and hoping something sticks.
Quoleady takes a different approach. They've built their entire operation around understanding SaaS businesses, and lately, they've been pushing hard into LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization)—helping clients show up when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini for recommendations [2].
With a 35+ person team spread across 10+ countries [2], Quoleady offers services designed specifically for SaaS companies:
Here's what makes them different: they don't just create content. They build content engines that actually generate qualified leads through high-intent strategies.
Their Pro package runs €5,012/month and includes 20,000 words, weekly calls, and a €1,320 backlink budget [17].
Want something more targeted? They offer:
The results? Quoleady helped ResponseScribe go from zero to 4.62K clicks in six months [18]. Numbers like these explain why SaaS companies keep coming back.
Berlin-based and boutique by design, Flow Agency gets something most agencies miss: your organic and paid strategies shouldn't work against each other.
This specialized marketing firm (formerly Flow SEO) has built their reputation on what they call "one goal, one strategy, one team." No more watching your SEO team optimize for one set of keywords while your paid team targets completely different ones.
Flow Agency's approach centers on integration across channels:
Their philosophy eliminates the chaos that happens when different teams pull in different directions. Everything works together—which means better results across the board.
Flow operates on a custom pricing model that adjusts based on demand [10].
What their clients consistently mention? They hit deadlines and stay within budget [4]. That combination of reliability and results typically commands premium pricing—but it also suggests you're getting what you pay for.
Most agencies talk a big game. NoGood just delivers.
This New York-based growth marketing agency built its reputation on one simple principle: cut the fluff, focus on results. Their approach? "Methodical, intentional, and completely process-oriented." No fancy jargon. No endless strategy decks. Just measurable outcomes.
As a full-funnel growth agency, NoGood covers all the bases:
Here's what makes them different: they treat every campaign like a fresh experiment. While other agencies copy-paste the same playbook for every client, NoGood starts with a beginner's mindset. Every challenge gets a custom approach.
NoGood uses custom pricing based on project scope [21]. For growth-focused startups, they sometimes structure fees as a percentage of media spend and campaign performance [21]—which means they only win when you do.
Smart approach, right?

Here's something most agencies won't tell you: they're all scrambling to figure out GEO. But First Page Sage? They literally created the playbook.
Established in 2009 and based in the San Francisco Bay Area, this agency did something remarkable in early 2024—they developed the entire field of Generative Engine Optimization, roughly 14 months after ChatGPT's debut [22]. While other agencies were still trying to understand what AI search meant, First Page Sage was already building the strategies everyone else now copies.
Their signature offering is "Thought Leadership SEO"—a service that combines lead generation, industry visibility, and reputation building. They ghostwrite approximately 80 content pieces annually for clients, making sure both Google and your potential customers see you as the expert [23].
Their GEO services include:
First Page Sage positions itself in the premium tier, typically charging $12,000+ monthly for full-service packages [25]. This investment covers strategy development, keyword research, search intent analysis, thought leadership content, conversion rate optimization, and custom reporting.
It's a substantial investment. But when you're working with the team that literally invented the field, the expertise speaks for itself.
Some agencies talk about AI optimization like it's brand new territory. WebFX has been perfecting digital marketing since 1995—back when most people didn't even know what a website was.
Founded in 1995, this Harrisburg-based agency now employs over 500 SEO specialists. That's not just a team—that's an entire army of experts working on personalized strategies across industries.
WebFX doesn't do cookie-cutter approaches. Every strategy gets customized based on your specific needs and goals [8].
What they offer:
The real differentiator? Their proprietary RevenueCloudFX platform uses IBM Watson's machine learning to analyze millions of industry data points and refine campaigns [8]. Most agencies rely on guesswork. WebFX relies on data.
WebFX's standard SEO packages start at $2,500/month after an initial campaign investment [26]. GEO services begin at $2,250/month [7]. Enterprise clients typically invest $20,000 to $22,500 monthly for comprehensive AI search visibility optimization [27].
Every plan includes GEO strategy development, monthly reporting, visibility tracking across generative engines, access to their 500+ expert team, and their revenue acceleration platform [7].
Some agencies adapt to change. Others get left behind.
Ignite Visibility falls squarely in the first category. Founded in 2013 by John Lincoln and Krish Coughran, this San Diego-based agency recently launched their Generative Engine Optimization service—and they're not treating it like an afterthought.
Ignite Visibility offers specialized GEO services in addition to the typical ones:
Project minimums start at $5,000+ [6]. Hourly rates typically fall between $100-$149 [6]. But their GEO services use custom pricing based on each business's specific needs and industry context, since visibility requirements can vary dramatically depending on your market and competition.

Omnius operates from Europe with a laser focus on B2B companies. Here's what makes them different: they're not treating AI optimization as an add-on service. They've built their entire approach around multi-channel visibility.
While most agencies are still figuring out how to adapt to AI search, Omnius has already developed what they call "multi-channel SEO"—simultaneously optimizing for traditional search engines and AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Their service lineup targets SaaS and Fintech companies specifically:
What makes their approach work? They understand industry contexts deeply. Instead of generic optimization, they build visibility strategies that work across both search results and LLM-generated answers.
Standardized packages? Not here. Omnius uses custom pricing based on project scope, complexity, competitive landscape, timeline, growth targets, and required resources.
They emphasize transparent operations—responsive communication, real-time updates, weekly reports. Makes it easier to track your investment and see exactly where your budget goes.
Want the quick rundown? Check the comparison table below.
Notice something? Most agencies use custom pricing. That's because GEO work varies wildly based on your industry, competition, and goals. The fixed-price options give you a starting point, but expect most conversations to begin with "it depends."
The right GEO agency can make or break your AI visibility strategy.
Here's what we learned after months of testing these 11 agencies: the ones that deliver real results don't treat GEO as an add-on service. They've rebuilt their entire approach around how AI tools actually work.
Some agencies excel at the technical stuff—structured data, schema markup, and getting AI crawlers to notice your content. Others focus on creating the kind of authoritative content that large language models love to cite. A few specialize in specific industries where getting cited by AI can mean the difference between landing a million-dollar deal and getting ignored.
The best agencies? They do all of this while keeping your bottom line in focus.
