Our pick

Want a GEO program judged on whether AI recommends you, not on a mention count? supereo ours is our pick. It leads with your recommendation rate (the share of answers to your buyers' questions that recommend you, with its range) on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews, tells you what to change on each page, and tests every change against control questions. $149 a month on Copilot. Run the free audit.

What a GEO agency counts

Every GEO agency reports a number. They aren't the same number, and the difference decides what you're paying to move. These are the metrics each agency names on its own pages.

Source: each agency's GEO, pricing or service page, read November 8, 2026. "Not stated" means the pages we read don't say the agency counts recommendations; it may still track them.

The words matter because they measure different things. A mention is your name anywhere in the answer, often one of six. A citation is your page linked as a source, which can happen while the answer recommends someone else. Share of voice and share of answer divide your mentions by everyone's. A recommendation is the answer telling the buyer to pick you. Only the last one is the sale, and only two of the seven agencies say they count it.

What buyers say about GEO agencies

“Hired an agency last year that promised LLM visibility alongside traditional SEO. Six months in, our content wasn't showing up in ChatGPT or Perplexity at all, and organic traffic barely moved. Felt like they were just doing basic blog posts and calling it GEO.”
u/Maximum_Wrangler1552 on r/AskMarketing · Sep 6, 2026 · Read the post

What helpssupereo gives each change a verdict within 45 to 60 days, so you know long before month six whether the work is moving anything.

“Hiring a GEO agency right now is throwing money away. They cannot guarantee visibility.”
u/MidtownGreen on r/AskMarketing · Sep 6, 2026 · Read the post

What helpsNo one can guarantee visibility, supereo included. What supereo shows instead is whether each change moved its target questions more than its control questions.

“the KPI moved from things you can audit (leads, revenue) to things you can’t ("AI Share of Voice").”
Ben Luong on LinkedIn · Nov 8, 2026 · Read the post

Questions

What is a GEO agency?

An agency that works to get your brand named, cited and recommended in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode. GEO stands for generative engine optimization; most agencies treat it as the same work as AEO.

What is the best generative engine optimization agency?

supereo is our pick if you want GEO judged on recommendations and proven per change, from $149 a month. Among agencies: First Page Sage for list-led B2B GEO, iPullRank for enterprise programs, DerivateX and Rock The Rankings for B2B SaaS with published prices, Tenten outside the US.

How much does a GEO agency cost?

Published GEO retainers start at $3,000 a month (WebFX) and run to $68,250 (WebFX's Enterprise+); one-time GEO audits start at $1,299 (Tenten). First Page Sage's October 2026 study puts the median GEO and AEO retainer at $6,850. Every price, dated.

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

Ask your SEO agency two things: which AI engines it tracks your buyers' questions on, and whether it counts recommendations or mentions. If the answer is none and mentions, add GEO measurement before you add an agency.

Is a GEO marketing agency the same as a geo-targeting agency?

No. Here GEO means generative engine optimization, getting into AI answers. Geo-targeting is aiming ads or local SEO at a location. Some local SEO agencies sell both, so check which one a proposal means.

What should a GEO agency report each month?

The questions tracked, every answer, who each engine recommended, which pages it cited, and what changed, with ranges. supereo adds a verdict on each change against control questions.
