Which GEO agency is best?

The best GEO agencies in 2026 are Siege Media for content-led AI citations, Victorious for SEO and AEO as one programme, First Page Sage for B2B thought leadership, Terakeet for enterprise brand narrative and SimpleTiger for SaaS. The median minimum across the 131 GEO agencies we track is $5,000 a month, with Asia-Pacific agencies near $1,000. UltraGrowthMedia is the pick for teams that want GEO, SEO and outbound run by one team.

Key takeaways

  • The median minimum for a GEO agency is $5,000 a month, and 28% of the 131 agencies we track sit in the premium tier above that.
  • The six European GEO agencies in our data are the priciest, with a $7,500 median minimum, against $5,000 in North America and the UK and $1,000 in Asia-Pacific.
  • 97% of the GEO agencies we track list AI search work, so the label proves little. Ask how citations are measured, across which assistants and how often.
  • GEO builds on SEO rather than replacing it. Google says there are no special optimisations needed to appear in AI Overviews beyond its existing guidance, so weak SEO foundations limit any GEO programme.
  • The strongest GEO agencies combine content, digital PR and entity work, because AI assistants draw on what other sites say about you as well as your own pages.

The 15 best GEO agencies in 2026

Each agency below leads a specific category. Start with the one that matches your situation rather than reading top to bottom.

#1Best overall GEO agency

Siege Media

5.0 (20 reviews)
San Diego, CA, United States51-200 peopleFrom $10,000Since 2012

  • Zendesk
  • Zapier
  • Airbnb
  • Asana
  • Intuit QuickBooks

Watch out

Pricing is not published, programmes are built for sustained spend from around $10,000 a month, and results are often reported as traffic value.

#2Best for B2B startups pairing GEO with outbound

Remote-first (United States)11-50 peopleFrom $3,000Since 2021

#3Best for SEO and AEO run as one system

Notable clients

  • GE Digital

  • Salesforce

Watch out

No paid media in-house, and its focus on companies with $10M+ ARR rules out most early-stage startups.

#4Best for B2B thought leadership in AI answers

Notable clients

  • Salesforce
  • Logitech
  • Verizon
  • Dignity Health

Watch out

The firm describes typical campaigns as lasting two to five years, so it is not built for ecommerce or quick wins.

Notable clients

  • Gumlet
  • REsimpli
  • Verito
  • Kroto

  • PlanningPoker.live

Watch out

A short track record, and an extra $1,000 to $3,000 monthly citation budget sits on top of the retainer.

Notable clients

  • PayPal
  • Walmart
  • Shopify

Notable clients

How to choose a GEO agency

  1. Benchmark your AI visibilityRun the questions your buyers ask through ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews and note who gets cited today.
  2. Fix SEO gaps firstIf your site struggles to rank or be crawled, a GEO programme will struggle too. Ask the agency to check foundations.
  3. Ask how they measureGet specifics: which assistants, how many prompts, how often they are run and how results are reported.
  4. Look beyond your own siteAI answers draw on reviews, press, forums and comparison pages. Check the agency can earn mentions there.
  5. Start with a defined pilotPrefer a pilot of around 90 days with agreed prompts and baseline numbers over a long open-ended contract.
  6. Tie it to business resultsTrack AI referral traffic, branded search and leads alongside citation counts.

Questions to ask

  • Which prompts would you track for us, and how did you choose them?
  • Which AI assistants do you measure, and how often are the prompts re-run?
  • What changed for a client like us, and how do you separate your impact from normal variation?
  • How much of the work happens on our site versus third-party sites and press?
  • How does your GEO work connect to our existing SEO and content plans?
  • What does the first 90 days include, and what will you need from our team?

Red flags

  • Guarantees that ChatGPT or Gemini will recommend your brand.
  • A GEO offer that is only an llms.txt file and some schema.
  • No baseline measurement before work starts.
  • Mass-produced AI content published to chase prompts.
  • Fake reviews or planted forum posts presented as citation building.

What does a GEO agency do?

A GEO agency is a company that helps a brand get mentioned and cited in answers from AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. GEO stands for generative engine optimisation. Typical work covers measuring AI visibility across tracked prompts, entity and schema work, answer-style content, digital PR and earning mentions on third-party sites that AI tools draw on. Most GEO agencies run this alongside traditional SEO.

GEO agency FAQ

What is the best GEO agency in 2026?

Siege Media is our top pick overall among GEO agencies for its citation analysis and content programme. Victorious leads for running SEO and AEO as one system, First Page Sage for B2B thought leadership, Terakeet for enterprise brand narrative and SimpleTiger for SaaS. The best GEO agency depends on your market and budget.

How much does a GEO agency cost?

Across the 131 GEO agencies we track, the median minimum is $5,000 a month, and 28% sit in the premium tier above $5,000. European agencies have a median minimum of $7,500, against $5,000 in North America and $1,000 in Asia-Pacific. Hourly rates most often fall between $100 and $149.

What is the difference between GEO, AEO and SEO?

SEO improves rankings in classic search results. AEO, answer engine optimisation, targets direct answers in features such as AI Overviews. GEO, generative engine optimisation, aims to get a brand cited by AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. In practice most agencies run all three together.

How long does GEO take to show results?

Changes to your own pages can be picked up by AI tools within weeks, but citation gains that depend on press coverage and third-party mentions usually build over several months. Agencies such as DerivateX sell 90-day pilots for this reason. Set a baseline before work starts so progress can be measured.

Do I need a GEO agency if I already have an SEO agency?

Not always. Google says no special optimisations are needed to appear in AI Overviews beyond its normal guidance, so a strong SEO agency covers much of the ground. A GEO agency adds value when you need citation tracking across several assistants and digital PR aimed at AI answers.

How do GEO agencies measure AI visibility?

Most GEO agencies run a fixed set of prompts through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews on a schedule and record whether your brand is mentioned or cited. Some use their own platforms, such as AdLift's Tesseract or Earned Media's EMintel. Ask how many prompts are tracked and how often.

How do I choose a GEO agency?

Choose a GEO agency that can show baseline and follow-up AI visibility data for a client like you. Ask which prompts and assistants it tracks, how much work happens off your site, and how GEO connects to your SEO. Treat any promise that an AI tool will recommend you as a red flag.

Can a GEO agency guarantee my brand appears in ChatGPT?

No. No agency controls how ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity choose sources, and their answers vary between runs. A credible GEO agency improves the likelihood of being cited by strengthening your content, entities and third-party mentions, then measures the change. Treat guarantees as a sign to look elsewhere.
