How did we choose these agencies?

Built from GEO capability first: the work that gets a brand quoted inside generative answers. Capability carries 70 points and leans on eleven citation lines, from quotable content and entity work to Reddit, digital PR and citation tracking. Proof carries 30: 15 for portfolio and 15 for reviews. Pricing is reported, never scored.

Build the pool from two nets

The pool combined the ten firms on the 2025 edition with 18 more agencies researched for this directory, drawn partly from a tally of 37 independent GEO and AEO roundups from 2025 and 2026. Self-rankings were not counted. 28 firms were researched in total.

Score GEO capability from the firm's own pages

Capability carries 70 points. It weighs whether GEO is a dedicated practice with a named method, how many of eleven citation lines the firm treats as core, and whether it tracks citations engine by engine. A line counts only when the firm's own page describes it.

Score the proof a buyer can check

Proof carries 30 points: 15 for portfolio and 15 for reviews. Named cases with AI citation numbers score highest. Ratings were read on the live Clutch, G2 and Trustpilot profiles, not taken from the firm's site. Pricing is reported as published and not scored.

Keep the ten and preserve the exclusions

Eighteen researched firms sit below the line, each with the reason it fell short and what would change the call. Three supply-chain and SaaS specialists in this directory were left out as outside a general list.

What the community check found

Citation work off the client's own site is still thin. Five of the ten treat Reddit and community presence as a core line. Two treat roundup placement that way, and two run review-platform programmes. Nine of ten track citations and eight run digital PR.

The correction worth naming

The 2025 edition ranked firms without live review checks. Every firm was re-researched for this edition. First Page Sage, Go Fish Digital, iPullRank, Omniscient, Nine Peaks Media, Growth Plays and Omnius fell below the line. Ignite Visibility, MADX, Intero, WebFX, Graphite, Hop AI and NoGood entered.

Which GEO services does each firm actually run?

Twenty service lines down the side, ten firms across the top, with a count of how many treat each as core.

How does each firm track AI citations?

An owned tracker, a licensed tool such as Profound, or manual checks.

AgencyTooling and IPRelationship to SEO
MaximusLabs.aiIn-house workflows plus free public tools — AI crawlability checker, llms.txt generator, content optimizer. No named proprietary platform.AEO-first. SEO is treated as one input the engines sample rather than the parent discipline.
TripleDartSlate, a proprietary platform for auditing, schema generation and weekly citation-share tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot and AI Overviews (first-party).Unified. Traditional authority building and generative optimisation run as one system.
Ignite VisibilityCertaintyTech | RevConnect | Rallio AI (incl. RevIntel attribution, REVV reviews)Three disciplines: SEO for indexability, AEO for extractability, GEO for citation (first-party AI SEO page).
Siege MediaBlueprintIQ (content strategy) | DataFlywheel (quarterly or faster content refresh)GEO sold as an extension of its content, PR and link programmes. SEO results and LLM results are reported side by side.
MADX DigitalNo named proprietary platform.Organic-first with GEO integrated into the same system, on the stated view that the two compound together for SaaS.
Intero DigitalProfound (third-party AI visibility tracker); InteroBOT crawlerUnified. GEO is a standalone practice built on top of the SEO, content and PR functions.
WebFXOmniSEO (tracks AI Mode, AI Overviews, Apple Intelligence, ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, Meta AI, Perplexity, xAI) | RevenueCloudFXGEO sold as part of a wider visibility strategy; tiers include SEO audit and SEO optimizations (first-party).
GraphiteIn-house AI content platform plus a separately sold AEO tracking product.Fully integrated. The stated position is that great SEO is free AEO, and offsite is the real difference.
Hop AI (formerly Hop Online)GEOforge (own platform); integrations with Cloudflare, GA4, Google Search Console, WordPress, Webflow, Wix.Frames GEO as distinct from SEO on the service page, but sells both; one case (When GEO Drives SEO) reports search gains as a by-product.
NoGoodProprietary AI-visibility technology, not publicly named.Growth-marketing parent. AEO and SEO are components of a multi-channel programme rather than the organising discipline.

FirmCapability /70Industry /30Why it falls short here
Victoriousvictorious.com4624Strong reviews, Clutch 4.8 from 119, but the firm sells AEO as part of SEO. Every AI result is an AI Overview citation count, and one AI client is named.
