AI search optimization services, sold as AEO, GEO or AI SEO services, usually bundle six line items: an audit, tracked questions, technical and schema fixes, new and rewritten pages, off-site placements and a report. Our pick is supereo, which does that work as software from $149 a month.
Our pick
Want the deliverables without the retainer? supereo ours is our pick. It writes your buyers' questions, tracks them on six AI engines, and tells you exactly what to change on each page, with the evidence and the wording, for $149 a month on Copilot. On Autopilot, its higher plan, it ships the fixes and new pages itself and pitches you onto the lists AI cites. Every change gets a verdict against control questions. Run the free audit.
Read side by side, the service pages describe one job in different words; Marcel Digital says outright that AEO and GEO "refer to the same practice." These line items recur, in the order they're usually delivered.
Each cell is what the agency's own service or pricing page says, read November 8, 2026. "Not listed" means we didn't find it on the pages we read, not that the agency can't do it. Counts are per month unless marked.

Every agency lists an audit and most list new or rewritten pages, so those don't separate them. Only WebFX, AEO Engine and DerivateX publish how many questions they track, and none of the twelve publishes a method for telling whether one particular change worked, the gap buyers raise most in the posts below.
Where an agency publishes both a monthly price and a monthly page count, dividing one by the other gives a price per page. It's a rough unit: an AEO Engine article, a WebFX "flexible asset" and a Discovered Labs "content unit" aren't the same size of work, and the retainer also pays for the audit, the tracking and the people.
| Agency and plan | Price / month | Pages / month | Per page | Also in the plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AEO Engine Scale | $2,997 | 60 articles | $50 | 300 prompts tracked, 6 to 10 backlinks, a PR campaign each month |
| AEO Engine Growth | $1,597 | 30 articles | $53 | 150 prompts, 3 to 5 backlinks, a PR campaign each quarter |
| Coalition Technologies, Advanced | $4,900 | 23 pages | $213 | 70 hours a month, so $70 an hour |
| Coalition Technologies, Standard | $3,200 | 13 pages | $246 | 40 hours a month, $80 an hour |
| Coalition Technologies, Starter | $1,800 | 6 pages | $300 | 20 hours a month, $90 an hour |
| Discovered Labs Establish, 6-month rate | €6,995 | 20 units | €350 | A blog post is 1 unit, a new landing page 7; Reddit engagement |
| RevenueZen Foundation | $3,000 | 4 articles | $750 | 3 page refreshes, AI brand monitoring |
| WebFX Enterprise+ | $68,250 | 90 assets | $758 | 2,000 prompts on 10 engines |
| WebFX Diamond | $12,000 | 15 assets | $800 | 250 prompts |
| DerivateX Own Your Category | $8,000 | 10 assets | $800 | About 80 queries; off-site budget of $1,500 to $2,000 extra |
| DerivateX Rank & Get Found | $5,000 | 6 assets | $833 | About 50 queries; off-site budget of $1,000 to $1,200 extra |
| WebFX Bronze | $3,000 | 3 assets | $1,000 | 50 prompts; six-month commitment |
| RevenueZen Command | $12,000 | 10 articles | $1,200 | 20 LinkedIn posts, monthly GEO monitoring |
| First Page Sage | $6,000 to $12,000 | 6 to 7 pieces | $857 to $2,000 | PR placements; month-to-month |
Our arithmetic on each agency's published plan, November 8, 2026, rounded to the dollar. DerivateX publishes assets per 90 days (18, 30 and 45), shown here per month. First Page Sage's figures are the range it lists for itself in its October 2026 report and the 6 to 7 pieces its FAQ promises. Coalition's packages are from its Clutch profile.
The spread is 40 to 1, from $50 a page to $2,000; First Page Sage's October 2026 study puts a Growth-tier agency at $1,262 per deliverable. A page count alone tells you little. What matters is whether each page was aimed at a question where AI skips you, and whether anyone checked that it moved.
Tracking is the cheap part of the job, and the plans show it. Per question, per month:
| Plan | Price / month | Questions | AI engines | Per question | Also included |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| supereo Copilot ours | $149 | 40 | 6 | $3.73 | What to change on each page, with the evidence and wording; each change you ship measured; MCP |
| AEO Engine Scale | $2,997 | 300 | 4 | $9.99 | 60 articles, backlinks, monthly PR |
| AEO Engine Growth | $1,597 | 150 | 4 | $10.65 | 30 articles, backlinks, quarterly PR |
| WebFX Enterprise+ | $68,250 | 2,000 | 10 | $34.13 | 90 assets |
| WebFX Bronze | $3,000 | 50 | 10 | $60.00 | 3 assets, audit, OmniSEO software |
| DerivateX Rank & Get Found | $5,000 | About 50 | Not stated | $100 | 6 assets a month |
Our arithmetic on published limits, November 8, 2026. supereo asks each question on every engine three times a week. WebFX's plans include monthly performance scoring; mid-month, weekly and daily syncs are add-ons, weekly at $150 a month per 50 prompts.
Google's own guide to its AI features, last updated July 10, 2026, lists things site owners "can ignore for Google Search." Some of them appear as line items on agency pages. Google speaks only for its own AI Overviews and AI Mode; ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude retrieve pages differently, so these items may still matter there. But a plan made mostly of them is paying for work Google says it doesn't need.
| Google's guide says | Where it shows up on agency pages |
|---|---|
| "You don't need to create new machine readable files, AI text files, markup, or Markdown" (llms.txt and similar) | Lean Labs' On-site AEO Launchpad, from $12k, builds "on-page schema, llms.txt, and robots.txt files"; Tenten's top plan includes llms.txt in its AI agent strategy |
| "Structured data isn't required for generative AI search, and there's no special schema.org markup you need to add" | Schema is a named deliverable for Marcel Digital, Percepture, Thrive, RevenueZen and Grow Law; Grow Law adds that schema "does not guarantee a citation" |
| Seeking inauthentic "mentions" across the web "isn't as helpful as it might seem" | First Page Sage's 2025 cost breakdown describes the market's $2,000 to $3,000 entry tier as one that "Purchases low-cost placements on ranking websites" |

What Google does say matters is content people find unique and useful, a clear technical structure, and accurate business details. That's the work worth paying for, and it's the work supereo aims at the questions where AI skips you.
What supereo doesn't ship: PR placements written by a person, executive interviews, or a strategist on a weekly call. If those are what you need, an agency with a PR team, such as Percepture or Omniscient Digital, is the better fit. The agencies, compared.

“two of the agencies I spoke to led with exactly that, "we'll publish X pieces of content per month" with barely any mention of citations or how LLMs actually pull brand information.”u/Small_Ad_4808 on r/SaaS · May 24, 2026 · Read the post
What helpssupereo starts from the questions instead of a page quota: it aims each new page at a question where AI skips you, then measures whether it moved.

What helpssupereo's Copilot gives the direction: what to change on each page, with the evidence and the wording.

What helpssupereo's proof method is on its site: a test registered before each change, target questions minus control questions, with a range.

Usually six line items: an AI visibility audit, tracked questions or prompts, technical and schema fixes, new and rewritten pages, off-site placements such as digital PR and list inclusion, and a monthly report. supereo covers the same work as software: questions, tracking, what to change, and on Autopilot the fixes, pages and list pitches, with a verdict on each change.
In practice, none. Marcel Digital says AEO and GEO "refer to the same practice," and Coalition Technologies lists AI SEO, GEO and LLM SEO as names for one goal. Compare services on what ships each month, not the acronym.
Published plans start at $297 a month (SuperDupr's Local AI Search, for local service businesses) and $1,597 for a B2B content program (AEO Engine), and run to WebFX's $68,250. Per page, they run from about $50 to $2,000. supereo's Copilot is $149 a month. Every published price, dated.
Not for Google. Google's guide says you don't need new AI text files or special markup, and that structured data isn't required for its generative AI features. Other engines don't publish equivalent guidance, so treat these as small technical items, not the core of a plan.
Ask for the question list, every answer before and after, and the method for telling a real change from noise. None of the twelve agencies here publishes that method; supereo's is a test registered before each change, with 10 control questions the change shouldn't move.

On November 8, 2026 we read the service and pricing pages of twelve agencies (the eight on our main comparison, plus Discovered Labs, AEO Engine, DerivateX and RevenueZen, which publish detailed plans) and recorded each deliverable as the agency names it. "Not listed" means we didn't find it on those pages. Per-page and per-question figures are our arithmetic on the published plans. Google's guidance is quoted from its own documentation. Full method.
