12 published "best AEO or GEO agency" lists name 82 different agencies. Only 26 appear on two or more of those lists, and only 4 (Omniscient Digital, iPullRank, First Page Sage, NoGood) appear on more than half. The lists agree far less than their confident titles suggest.
GEO and AEO Agency Comparison for B2B SaaS (2026)
Last verified 29 September 2026
We scored 32 GEO and AEO agencies that serve B2B SaaS companies on one public rubric. RevenueZen scored highest with 89.5 out of 100. The score measures public evidence and buying transparency. It does not measure delivery quality, and a low score often means an agency publishes less, not that it performs worse.
peppereffect publishes this page and sells the same kind of service, so we are not in the ranking. Who we are, what we can prove and where we fit is set out further down this page.
What we found
At least 18 of the 32 agencies publish their own "best agencies" list and rank themselves first. Each profile below links to the list.
Only 5 of 32 agencies publish a tracked AI visibility share for a named client. Most AI results are agency-reported numbers without the underlying prompts.
14 of 32 agencies publish pricing information on their own site. Published monthly entry points run from about $1,500 to $10,000.
10 of 32 offer to measure your AI visibility before you sign. That is the cheapest way to test an agency before you pay it.
Comparison table
Evidence bands: A = tracked AI visibility share, named client. B = AI result, named client, agency-reported. C = classic search metrics, or AI results on own properties. D = unnamed client. E = no AI-search evidence published. Agencies with equal scores share a rank. Click a name for the full profile.

How we scored
Six criteria. The weights were fixed in our build specification on 28 September 2026, before the scoring pass on 29 September. Each criterion is scored 0 to 5, then weighted into a total out of 100. We counted only evidence on the agency's own site or its Clutch profile, opened on 29 September 2026. Numbers that appear only in someone else's roundup did not count.
How it is scored
Named AI-search result
5 = tracked AI visibility share for a named client over a stated period (A). 3.5 = named client, AI metric, agency-reported (B). 1.5 = named client with classic search metrics only, or AI results on the agency's own properties (C). 1 = unnamed client (D). 0 = none (E).
B2B SaaS depth
Named B2B SaaS clients and case studies on the agency's own site. 5 = three or more named SaaS case studies. 4 = two, or one plus named SaaS clients. 3 = one. 2 = SaaS logos without case studies. 1 = no named SaaS work.
Pre-contract AI baseline
5 if the agency itself offers to measure or review your AI visibility before a contract (audit, snapshot or call). 0 otherwise.
Independent reviews
Clutch, read live. 5 = 40+ reviews, 4 = 10 to 39, 2.5 = 3 to 9, 1 = 1 or 2, 0 = none or no confirmed profile. One point off below 4.5 stars.
Published methodology
5 = named framework plus a public write-up of the process. 3 = one of the two. 0 = neither.
Price on own site
5 if the agency publishes a price, range or minimum for the service a direct buyer purchases. 0 otherwise.
Weights sum to 100%
What the rubric favors, and what it does not measure. Four criteria (baseline, reviews, method, price) reward transparency and together carry 55 points. That favors agencies that publish, and disadvantages boutiques, agencies that bill their diagnostics, and enterprise shops whose client work is confidential. A named framework earns points whether or not it works better. The rubric also does not measure the quality of the writing, how fast an agency responds, or whether its results would repeat for you. Nobody can measure those from the outside. Use the rubric to build a shortlist, then use the free baselines and reference calls to decide.

You have writers and need a strategy, prompt set and priorities
- Weak when
You lack the capacity to execute the plan
Option

AI visibility is a core channel and you can hire a writer with category knowledge plus technical SEO support
- Weak when

You want to monitor where you stand and already produce content
- Weak when

How to choose: 12 questions and 6 red flags
Ask every agency on your shortlist:
- 1
Will you measure our AI visibility before we sign, and can we keep the data?
- 2
Which buyer questions will you track, and can we add our own?
- 3
Which engines do you measure: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews?
- 4
Show us one named client where you tracked the same prompts before and after. What changed and over what period?
- 5
What exactly counts as a deliverable, and how many per month?
- 6
Who writes, who fact-checks, and who approves before anything is published?
- 7
How do you get us cited on third-party sites, not only on our own?
- 8
What do you need from us each month, and what happens if we are slow?
- 9
What is the minimum term and the notice period?
- 10
What does the guarantee cover, and what does it exclude?
- 11
How do you connect AI visibility to pipeline in our CRM?
- 12
Can we speak to two current B2B SaaS clients?
Red flags:
A guarantee that you will be cited by a specific engine. No agency controls what a model says.
AI results reported only as percentages, with no named client, prompts or dates.
A GEO page that appeared this year with no AI-search case study behind it.
A visibility score that cannot be traced back to the questions it was measured on.
Case study numbers that differ between the agency's own pages. We found this at several agencies on this list and noted it in their profiles.
A "best agencies" list where the author ranks first and does not say so.

AEO, GEO, AIO, LLMO: what the terms mean
They describe the same job from different angles: getting a company named, cited or recommended when a buyer asks an AI system instead of scrolling search results.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
comes from an academic paper by Aggarwal and colleagues, "GEO: Generative Engine Optimization" (KDD 2024). The authors report that content changes can raise visibility in generative engine answers by up to 40%, and that the effect varies by subject area.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)
is the older marketing term, originally about featured snippets and voice answers, now used for AI answers too.
AIO
usually means optimizing for Google's AI Overviews specifically. LLMO means optimizing for large language models in general.
In practice the agencies on this list use the terms interchangeably. Ask what they measure, not what they call it. The measure that matters to a B2B buyer is Share of Model: in what share of AI answers to your buyers' questions is your company named, compared with your strongest competitor.
Who publishes this, and where peppereffect fits
peppereffect is an AI automation agency in Hamminkeln, Germany, founded in 2019. We produce AEO and GEO content for B2B software companies and measure whether AI answers name them.

Sources: Google Search Console and HubSpot traffic analytics (source "AI referrals"), 14 Dec 2025 to 13 Mar 2026 compared with 28 Jun to 25 Sep 2026. Two 90-day periods.
What this does and does not show. Helium42 is a brand peppereffect runs with a partner, not a paying client, so under our own rubric it counts as a result on an own property. AI assistants referred 245 visits, 3.4% of all visits in the later period: real, but small. None of this is a tracked AI visibility share. One article drove about half of the later period's clicks. The figures show growth; they do not prove how much of it our work caused. We show it because it is a result we can open to you in full on a call, Search Console included. Read the Helium42 case study.
Why a small number still matters. HubSpot measured its own answer-engine traffic from June to December 2025: leads that came from AI answers converted at 3 times the rate of its other sources. A Microsoft Clarity study of 1,277 mostly publisher sites found the same direction for sign-ups (1.66% from AI assistants against 0.15% from search), though over one month and outside B2B software. AI referrals were a small share of visits in both data sets, and in both they converted better.

FAQ
How much does a GEO or AEO agency cost in 2026?
Published monthly entry prices on this list run from about $1,500 to $10,000, with most B2B SaaS specialists starting between $3,000 and $8,000. One agency states an average retainer above $20,000. 14 of 32 agencies publish pricing information on their own site.
How long before AEO or GEO work shows results?
The named case studies on this list report periods from about three months to more than eighteen months, for example Omnius (May to September 2025) and Minuttia (January 2025 to July 2026). Treat those as agency-reported. Ask for tracked prompts before and after, over a stated period, before you rely on any timeline.
What metrics should a GEO or AEO agency report?
Share of Model on a fixed set of buyer questions across named engines, compared with your strongest competitor, plus AI-referred visits and the pipeline they create. A single visibility score without the underlying questions is not enough.
What is Share of Model?
The share of AI answers to your buyers' questions that name your company, measured on a fixed question set across named engines, and shown next to the share of your strongest competitor.
Is AEO or GEO replacing SEO?
No. AI answers draw heavily on pages that already rank and on third-party sites that mention you. Most agencies on this list run SEO and GEO as one program.
Can my existing SEO agency add AEO?
Sometimes. Ask for a named client with tracked AI prompts before and after. If they cannot show one, ask how they will measure progress on your account and what they will report in month one.
Can an agency guarantee that ChatGPT will cite us?
No. No agency controls what a model says about third parties. Look for guarantees that describe what the agency will do if a written target is missed, not promises about the model.
How do I check an agency's case studies are real?
Open the specific case-study page, check that the client is named, that the period is stated, and that the numbers match the agency's other pages. Then ask the client. Every profile above links to the exact page we used.
Why do review counts differ between comparison lists?
Lists copy each other and go stale. We read every Clutch profile ourselves on 29 September 2026 and several counts differed from what other lists report.
Do I need a visibility tool as well as an agency?
Not at the start. A good agency reports the same measures. A tool makes sense once you have in-house people acting on the data every week.
Does agency location matter?
Less than time zone overlap and same-market case studies. The engines answer your buyers the same way wherever the agency sits.
What is traffic collapse and how do I know if I have it?
A sustained drop in organic traffic from its peak. In our data set of 5,310 affected B2B domains the median modeled drop was 63%. To check your own site, compare clicks and impressions in Google Search Console over 18 months. Falling clicks while impressions hold is one common pattern when AI answers appear.
Why should I trust a list published by a company that sells the same service?
You should not trust it blindly. That is why the rubric is published, every fact links to its source, we do not rank or score ourselves, and our own facts are published in the same format as every profile.
How does peppereffect measure up against its own rubric?
As the publisher, and a seller of the same service, we have a conflict of interest, so we exclude ourselves from the ranking and the scoring and publish our facts in the same format instead. The facts: we offer a free pre-contract baseline and publish our measurement method. Our strongest result is on Helium42, a brand we run with a partner, where Google clicks per 90 days went from 28 to 4,209. We have no named external client with published AI-search data yet, no Clutch reviews, and no public price for direct clients. We will publish a named client case study with tracked prompts as soon as a client approves it.
Method, limits and changelog
Roster. All 26 agencies named on two or more of 12 published AEO and GEO agency lists, plus six agencies with notable public evidence named on one list. peppereffect is not ranked or scored; its facts are published in profile format.
Sources. Only the agency's own site and its Clutch profile, opened on 29 September 2026. Numbers found only in third-party roundups were not counted.
Scoring. The rubric above, applied to data from two research passes (28 and 29 September 2026); where the passes disagreed, we used the live page from 29 September. B2B SaaS depth involves judgment; the other five criteria are close to binary.
Limits. We did not check G2 for most agencies. Where an agency's site and Clutch disagree on HQ or founding year, we show the agency's own value or both. "Not published" means not found on the pages we opened.
Corrections. Email peter@peppereffect.com. Agencies can send evidence we missed; we re-score within five working days.
Changelog. 29 September 2026: first publication.
