Our pick
Want to get started without talking to sales? supereo ours is our pick. Copilot is $149 a month per brand, or $1,490 for a year, bought online with a 7-day trial. It tracks up to 40 of your buyers' questions on six AI engines and tells you exactly what to change on each page; Autopilot, its higher plan, makes the changes itself (its price isn't public yet). Start with the free audit.
Every published AEO and GEO price
Each row is the agency's own page on November 8, 2026, linked. Prices are monthly unless marked. Where an agency publishes tiers, the entry tier comes first.
SuperDupr's $297 is its Local AI Search plan, stated in its own cost article. The median is our arithmetic on the eleven US-dollar monthly entry prices above, leaving out Coalition (an SEO price), iPullRank (no period stated) and Discovered Labs (euros).
Named by AI engines, no price published
Thrive publishes SEO pricing and names three AI SEO levels without prices; its proposal form's smallest monthly budget choice is $2,500 to $5,000. Marcel Digital and Percepture publish no price; Clutch lists their minimum projects at $5,000+ and $10,000+. Graphite, Rankings.io and Legal Torch also quote by proposal. How they compare on everything else.
What the minimum term and a year actually cost
The monthly number is only half the price. The other half is how long you're committed. This is each entry plan's cost over its minimum term and over twelve months, our arithmetic on the published figures.

Our arithmetic on each agency's published price and term, November 8, 2026. Rock The Rankings also shows a 12-month rate that our capture didn't record, so its twelve-month figure uses the 90-day rate. Omniscient's monthly figure is its $120,000 a year divided by twelve.
The spread on the minimum is wider than the spread on the monthly price. AEO Engine and RevenueZen let you stop after one term of a few thousand dollars; WebFX's Bronze and DerivateX's top tier commit you to $18,000 and $84,000 before you can judge the work. A year of supereo's Copilot is $1,490.
How published prices have moved

Every move we found is up or sideways, which matches First Page Sage's market data below. If you're quoted today, ask whether the price is locked for the term.
What the market charges, by First Page Sage's count
First Page Sage, itself an agency, published the largest dataset we found: 1,146 GEO and AEO price quotes from 214 agencies, collected July 6 to October 2, 2026, from published pricing pages, proposals and contracts. These are its figures, not ours; it doesn't publish the underlying quotes.
By its count the median GEO and AEO retainer rose from $4,120 a month in the first quarter of 2024 to $6,850 in the third quarter of 2026, against $4,740 for a traditional SEO retainer, and only 23% of agencies publish any GEO or AEO pricing. B2B SaaS pays a median $8,640, legal $8,170 and home services $3,190. One caution on its own list of published prices: it lists Optimising at $2,000 to $20,000+, but the Optimising article it cites describes the Australian market's ranges rather than Optimising's own price list, so we left Optimising out of ours.

Questions
How much does an AEO agency cost per month?
Published entry retainers run from $1,597 (AEO Engine) to $10,000 (Omniscient Digital's $120,000 a year) for B2B programs, with a median of $4,999 across the eleven US-dollar entry prices we found. First Page Sage's study puts the market median at $6,850. supereo's Copilot is $149.
How much does GEO cost?
Among GEO agencies that publish prices, entry retainers run from $3,000 a month (WebFX) to $6,000 (First Page Sage); one-time GEO audits start at $1,299 (Tenten). First Page Sage's 2025 cost breakdown put three market tiers at $2,000 to $3,000, $4,000 to $7,000 and $8,000 to $12,000 a month.
Why don't most AEO agencies publish prices?
Most price by proposal, scoped to your site, market and competitors. First Page Sage counts only 23% of agencies publishing any GEO or AEO price. Of the eight agencies on our main comparison, three publish none.
Do AEO agencies require long contracts?
It varies: First Page Sage, RevenueZen, Tenten and Discovered Labs run month-to-month (Discovered Labs discounts longer terms), AEO Engine starts with 90 days, and WebFX requires six months on every tier.
Is there a cheaper alternative to an AEO agency?
Yes. supereo does the monthly AEO work as software: $149 a month on Copilot, which tells you what to change on each page and measures each change; Autopilot, its higher plan, ships the changes itself. Agency or software, worked through.
What is included at each price?
At about $3,000 a month: an audit, monitoring, and 3 to 4 pages a month (WebFX Bronze, RevenueZen Foundation). At $5,000 to $8,000: 6 to 10 pages, tracked queries and some off-site work (DerivateX, RevenueZen). Above $10,000: PR, original research and pipeline reporting. The deliverables, line by line.
On November 8, 2026 we read every agency pricing page linked above and recorded the published price and term. We pulled Internet Archive captures of WebFX's, Rock The Rankings', Discovered Labs', AEO Engine's and Lean Labs' pages to date the changes. Yearly and minimum-term figures are our arithmetic. First Page Sage's market figures are quoted as its own. Where an agency publishes no price, we say so rather than estimate one. Full method.
