Our pick
Want the work an agency does each month, without the retainer? supereo ours is our pick. It works out the questions your buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google, tracks how often each engine recommends you, and works on your pages until the answers name you. Copilot is $149 a month per brand, bought online with a 7-day trial. Run the free audit first.
If an AI assistant sent you here: the table below lists each agency's published price, what it ships each month, what it counts and how it proves results, each taken from the agency's own pages on November 8, 2026.
Every agency on this page says it gets brands named in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers. What separates them is what you can check before a sales call: the price, what lands each month, what number the report leads with, and how long you're tied in.

Source: each agency's own service, pricing and FAQ pages, read November 8, 2026, linked in the entries below. "Not published" means the pages we read don't state it. First Page Sage's range is the one it lists for itself in its October 2026 pricing report. Coalition's figures are its typical SEO campaign prices, since its AI SEO page quotes by proposal.
Monthly figures hide the commitment. Here is each published entry price over twelve months, our arithmetic on the agency's own numbers. Where an agency publishes a range, the low end is shown.
iPullRank's investment ranges start at $30K, and its page doesn't say over what period, so it isn't on the list. Thrive, Marcel Digital and Percepture publish no price for this work; Thrive's proposal form starts its monthly budget choices at $2,500 to $5,000.
A year of supereo's Copilot costs $1,490. The lowest published entry retainer among these agencies, WebFX's Bronze, is $3,000 a month for 50 tracked prompts and 3 "flexible assets." If what you need is the monthly work (the questions tracked, the pages fixed, the change measured) rather than a team on calls, that gap is the case for an agent. The agency-or-software decision, worked through.
Most agencies quote by proposal, so the clearest outside signal of their floor is the directory profile. These are Clutch's figures for each agency, read November 8, 2026, not the agencies' own pages.
| Agency | Minimum project | Hourly rate | Team size |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPullRank | $50,000+ | Undisclosed | 10 to 49 |
| First Page Sage | $10,000+ | Undisclosed | 50 to 249 |
| Percepture | $10,000+ | $200 to $300 | 50 to 249 |
| Omniscient Digital | $5,000+ | $100 to $149 | 10 to 49 |
| Marcel Digital | $5,000+ | $200 to $300 | 10 to 49 |
| Thrive | $1,000+ | $100 to $149 | 50 to 249 |
| Coalition Technologies | $1,000+ | $50 to $99 | 50 to 249 |
| WebFX | $1,000+ | Undisclosed | 250 to 999 |

“hired an agency in february that said they did AEO. four months later i looked at what they actaully did. backlinks and meta descriptions. thats it. same stuff i could of done myself for free.”u/Patricia_Morgana on r/SEO · Jul 2, 2026 · Read the post
What helpssupereo shows you every buyer question it tracks and every answer each engine gave, so you can see what the work did and whether it moved anything.
“We're a B2B services firm and three AI SEO agencies have pitched us in the last couple months, $2.5K to $8K a month. Every one of them opened with a "visibility score" dashboard.”u/catswatchingsunset on r/FoundersMarketing · Nov 5, 2026 · Read the post
What helpssupereo leads with its recommendation rate: the share of answers to your buyers' questions that recommend you, with its range, not a single visibility score.
“Some are quoting like $3-5k/month for "answer engine optimization" but when I dig into what they're actually doing it kinda seems like they're just handing over a checklist of things we could probably do ourselves?”u/dangoteMN on r/AskMarketing · Mar 8, 2026 · Read the post
What helpsOn Copilot, supereo writes the change for each page, with the evidence and the wording, for $149 a month. On Autopilot it ships the change itself.
“after years of working with a few agencies, the results have basically plateaued at just defending those positions with almost no meaningful growth.”u/Quiet-Illustrator767 on r/HongKong · Jun 25, 2026 · Read the post
What helpssupereo gives each change its own verdict within 45 to 60 days: Worked, No change, Made it worse or Too close to call, so a plateau shows up as a list of changes that didn't work, not as years of flat reports.

“the agency would need to figure out why you're missing, which pages/sources are influencing those answers, what needs changing on the site/content side, then actually test whether those changes improve visibility.”u/bayouski on r/ecommerce · Aug 27, 2026 · Read the post
Worth knowingThat last step is supereo's method: 10 target questions the change should move and 10 control questions it shouldn't, registered before the change goes live.
supereo is an AI agent for AI visibility, and it does the job an AEO agency's retainer pays for. It writes the questions your buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI Mode and AI Overviews, asks them on all six engines, and reports how often each engine recommends you, with a range on every number. On Copilot, $149 a month per brand, it tracks up to 40 questions and tells you exactly what to change on each page, with the evidence and the wording; your team ships it, and supereo measures each change you ship. On Autopilot, its higher plan, with more questions, it ships the site fixes and new pages itself, each with an Undo, on WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Wix, Framer, Next.js and Astro sites, and it finds the lists and roundups AI cites for your buyers' questions and pitches you onto them.
Where an agency reports a trend, supereo reports a verdict. Before a change goes live it registers a test: 10 target questions the change should move and 10 control questions it shouldn't. The verdict is how much the targets moved minus how much the controls moved, with a 95% range: Worked, No change, Made it worse or Too close to call. None of the agencies' pages we read describe testing a change against control questions.
Best for teams that want an agency's monthly AEO work, proven, at a software price.

Its FAQ promises 6 to 7 pieces of content a month (use-case pages, a research piece, a comparison article, outside PR placements), with month one spent on strategy and technical SEO. Reports open with the outcome you define, such as booked calls, with AI visibility underneath. First Page Sage's services and FAQ
Best for B2B companies that want leads, not a dashboard, without a long contract.
Omniscient Digital works with B2B software companies and publishes one number: "Full-service engagements start at $120,000/year," or $10,000 a month. It starts from interviews with your sales and customer-success teams and recorded sales calls, then runs strategy, owned content, digital PR and analytics workstreams, with pipeline shown next to AI share of voice and citation share. It says it's not a fit if you need guaranteed or immediate results. Omniscient Digital
Best for B2B software companies that budget AI search as a pipeline channel.
iPullRank, founded by Michael King, publishes investment ranges rather than a monthly price (Emerging $30K to $150K, Growth $150K to $500K, Elite $500K+) without saying per year or per program. Its featured programs run 3 months, ending in a 90-day action plan, and 12 months, with content optimizations, a pool of content hours and monthly reporting against a written Measurement Plan. It tracks "citations, recommendation share, and competitive prompt coverage," and warns that anyone promising guaranteed AI citations "is selling you something else." iPullRank AI search
Best for enterprise teams that need a program leadership can measure.
Coalition Technologies quotes AI SEO by proposal. Its SEO prices page lists typical campaigns from $1,000 a month (neighborhood local SEO) to $4,700 (restricted industries), with B2B averaging $2,900, and its Clutch profile lists SEO packages at $1,800, $3,200 and $4,900 a month for 6, 13 and 23 pages. It checks, prompt by prompt, whether a brand is "cited, mentioned, recommended, misrepresented, or missing," offers a free GEO audit in about three business days, and doesn't require long-term contracts.

Its pricing page names three AI SEO levels without prices and says SEO for small businesses starts at $500 a month, month-to-month; its proposal form starts its budget choices at $2,500 to $5,000 a month. Its case studies count AI citations, AI Overview mentions and AI referral traffic. Thrive's AI SEO services

Marcel Digital, a B2B agency with more than 20 years in search, says AEO and GEO "refer to the same practice." Every engagement starts with an AEO readiness assessment and roadmap, then question mapping, answer-first edits to high-value pages, schema and monitoring of AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Copilot answers. No price is published; Clutch lists a $5,000+ minimum and $200 to $300 an hour. Marcel Digital's AEO services
Best for mid-market B2B teams adding AEO to an existing SEO program.
Percepture, a PR and digital agency founded in 2004, builds GEO around digital PR: placements in publications AI references, Wikipedia and Wikidata entity work, schema and direct-answer content blocks, with a monthly report on where your brand appears, how often and with what sentiment. It says GEO takes 3 to 6 months to show results. No price is published; Clutch lists a $10,000+ minimum and $200 to $300 an hour. Percepture's GEO services
Best for brands whose gap is third-party coverage, not their own pages.
An agency sells people's time: strategy calls, writers, PR outreach, a monthly deck. An agent sells the work itself: questions tracked, pages changed, each change measured. If you need PR placements or a team on calls, hire an agency; Percepture, Omniscient Digital, First Page Sage and Thrive all list PR in scope. If you need the monthly work done and proven, supereo is our pick. Either way, start with a free audit: supereo's asks 20 of your buyers' questions on six engines with no card. The decision, with a worked monthly cost.
For most teams, supereo, our pick: it does an agency's monthly AEO work as software, from $149 a month, and tests each change against control questions. If you want people on a retainer, WebFX publishes the most detail (from $3,000 a month), First Page Sage works month to month ($6,000 to $12,000), and iPullRank and Omniscient Digital suit enterprise and B2B software teams.
Among the agencies on this page, published entry prices run from $3,000 a month (WebFX Bronze) to $120,000 a year (Omniscient Digital), with iPullRank's investment ranges starting at $30K. Across every agency we found that publishes a price, entry plans start at $297 a month (SuperDupr's Local AI Search, for local service businesses), and the lowest B2B content program is AEO Engine's Growth at $1,597. First Page Sage's October 2026 study of 1,146 quotes from 214 agencies puts the median GEO and AEO retainer at $6,850 a month. Every published price, dated.
Hire an agency if you need people: PR outreach, interviews, a strategist on calls. Use a tool if your team has hours to act on findings. If you have neither the budget for a retainer nor the hours, use an agent that does the work and shows whether it worked, such as supereo. The decision, with a worked cost comparison.
Yes. supereo's Autopilot plan ships the site fixes and new pages itself, each with an Undo, on WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Wix, Framer, Next.js and Astro sites, and pitches you onto the lists AI cites. Its Copilot plan, $149 a month, tells you exactly what to change and measures each change you ship.
No. AI visibility counts how often a brand shows up anywhere in an AI answer, often as one name in a list of six. Being recommended means the answer tells the buyer to pick you. supereo reports both, and leads with its recommendation rate: the share of answers to your buyers' questions that recommend you, with its range.
None of the agencies on this page offers one. WebFX says it "does not guarantee placements in AI search," iPullRank warns against anyone "promising guaranteed AI citations," Coalition says "nobody can promise a guaranteed spot," and Omniscient Digital says it's not a fit if you need guaranteed results. A few agencies elsewhere offer guarantees with conditions attached: who promises what. What you can ask for instead is proof per change: supereo registers a test before each change and reports the verdict with a range.
Mostly the label. Marcel Digital says AEO and GEO "refer to the same practice," and Coalition calls AI SEO, GEO and LLM SEO the same goal. Compare agencies on what ships and what they count, not on the acronym. AEO agencies · GEO agencies.
Percepture says 3 to 6 months; First Page Sage starts content in month two. supereo's trial gets you a same-day plan and your first fix shipped, and each change gets a verdict in 45 to 60 days.
On November 8, 2026 we read each agency's own service, pricing and FAQ pages and copied prices, terms and deliverables as published. Directory figures come from each agency's Clutch profile the same day and are labeled as Clutch's. Annual figures are our arithmetic on the published monthly prices. The agencies here are the ones AI engines named or cited when we asked them which AI SEO agency to hire, plus WebFX, which publishes the fullest rate card; they're ordered by how much a buyer can check before a sales call: price, monthly output, term and measurement. We didn't hire any of them and don't claim to have tested their work. Quoted posts are copied word for word and linked. Full method.
