Best 60 AEO/GEO Agencies in 2026 (US, Europe & Asia Directory)

Every agency with a website now claims to "do AEO." Most of them added a paragraph to their SEO service page in 2025 and called it a new offering. A much smaller group actually built citation tracking into their process, publishes methodology you can inspect, and can show a client's brand mention rate moving in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews over time.

This directory lists 60 real agencies working in Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), organized by region: 30 in the United States, 15 in Europe, and 15 in Asia. Every entry is a verifiable, operating agency, not a placeholder. Use it as a shortlist starting point, then vet finalists against your own prompt set before signing a retainer.

What separates a real AEO/GEO agency from a rebrand

Before you shortlist anyone, check for these five things:

• Documented measurement. They track citation rate, answer share, or brand mention frequency across multiple engines on a defined prompt set, not a single spot-check.
• Multi-engine coverage. ChatGPT alone is not AI search. A real GEO practice accounts for Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, because citation behavior differs across all four.
• Published methodology. The best agencies explain how they define a citation, how they sample prompts, and how they attribute movement to their own work versus market shifts.
• Case studies with numbers. Visibility scores, trial signups, or pipeline tied to AI referral traffic, not just "we helped a client get mentioned."
• A stated point of view on SEO. GEO does not replace technical SEO and content fundamentals; it sits on top of them. Agencies that pretend otherwise are usually selling a rebrand, not a new discipline.

How to use this list

Location matters less than it used to, since your buyers ask ChatGPT the same questions regardless of where your agency sits. But regional agencies bring two real advantages: native-language content that LLMs weight differently than machine translation, and familiarity with the AI platforms that actually dominate a given market (Naver in Korea, Baidu and Doubao in China, Yahoo Japan alongside ChatGPT in Japan). Pick a region based on where your buyers search, not where your headquarters happens to be.

Before hiring, run your own baseline. If you need the tracking layer to evaluate any agency's actual impact rather than trusting a self-reported case study, our guide on avoiding black-box GEO tools covers what to demand from measurement, and our agency software stack guide covers how the tooling and the agency work fit together.

29	Crackle PR	Boston, MA	Senior-led B2B tech PR with GEO and LLM optimization built in
30	LSEO	Pennsylvania	Long-running SEO shop with an early, deep GEO investment

A few of these deserve a closer look. First Page Sage has one of the longest continuous AEO track records in the category, having launched the service line in 2023, and it leans on thought-leadership content for healthcare and professional services clients where author authority matters heavily to LLM citation decisions. iPullRank, led by Mike King, brings information-retrieval rigor to enterprise engagements and works with Fortune 50 brands that need technical implementation depth, not just content volume.

Siege Media and Omniscient Digital both approach GEO through the lens of research-grade content: Siege through data journalism and proprietary tools that earn organic citations, Omniscient through topical authority systems built for B2B SaaS pipelines. Optimist stands out for publishing actual AEO revenue numbers rather than visibility scores alone, while NoGood built its own internal tool, Goodie, to track AI visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for clients including ByteDance and Spring Health.

For teams that want AEO content tied directly to sales execution, Callbox and Directive Consulting both connect content investment to pipeline reporting rather than treating visibility as the end goal. Crackle PR and Avenue Z represent the PR-plus-GEO model, useful for brands whose biggest visibility gap is earned media and third-party citations rather than owned content.

Europe: 15 AEO/GEO agencies

Europe's AEO/GEO market skews toward B2B SaaS and fintech specialists, with a growing cluster of agencies built specifically to handle multilingual entity graphs across the Benelux, DACH, and Nordic markets.

#	Agency	HQ	Best known for
1	Omnius	Europe (SaaS & fintech focus)	22-point GEO framework, AI crawler optimization, llms.txt creation
2	Discovered Labs	Dublin, Ireland	Dedicated B2B SaaS AEO/GEO agency, CITABLE framework

9	citabl.ai	Paris, France	French-market GEO/AEO specialist for SaaS and e-commerce
10	Taptwice Media	Nijmegen, Netherlands	Eight-engine weekly measurement, Benelux/DACH/Nordic entity graphs
11	Virtual Waves AI	Amsterdam, Netherlands	Combined SEO, GEO, and agentic AI services for Dutch businesses
12	Northquery	Nordics	Nordic-native GEO/AEO with cross-market scorecards
13	Claneo	Berlin, Germany	German-market SEO and AI search visibility consultancy
14	Radyant	Germany	AI search visibility strategy for German-speaking markets
15	Ecommerce Boost	Europe (multilingual focus)	GEO for e-commerce brands across multiple European languages

Omnius is the agency to know if you run a European SaaS or fintech company: it works exclusively with that segment and has built out a specific 22-point framework covering AI crawler access, llms.txt files, and citation engineering rather than treating GEO as a bolt-on service. Discovered Labs, co-founded by Liam Dunne (who scaled Instantly.ai to $20M ARR) and Ben Moore (a former Stanford AI researcher), is one of the few agencies anywhere built exclusively around AEO for B2B SaaS, with a published CITABLE methodology and case data tying AI-referred trials to pipeline.

Skale made an unusually direct pivot, rebranding from a pure B2B SaaS SEO shop into what it now calls an "AI search growth agency," while staying headquartered in London with a distributed team across Spain and South Africa. MADX Digital earned a 2026 Global Recognition Award specifically for AI-driven search innovation while continuing to serve funded B2B SaaS startups.

The Benelux cluster deserves particular attention if your buyers are in the Netherlands, Belgium, or the wider DACH region: Taptwice Media runs eight-engine weekly prompt batteries mapped to Dutch-language entity sources like Wikidata and the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, and explicitly scales client programs into Germany, the Nordics, and the UK under one coordinated scorecard. Claneo and Radyant both serve the German market directly, where language-native content and local authority signals carry outsized weight in LLM citation decisions.

Asia: 15 AEO/GEO agencies

Asia's AEO/GEO landscape splits along two axes: Singapore- and Hong Kong-based regional players covering multiple APAC markets under one account, and country-specific specialists in India, Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines who understand local-language search behavior and platforms like Naver, Baidu, and Yahoo Japan that Western agencies typically miss.

#	Agency	HQ	Best known for
1	The Egg	Hong Kong	Cross-border APAC SEO/GEO across 8+ country markets
2	AIOasia	Asia-Pacific (Hokai's agency arm)	AI-tool intelligence feeding AEO/GEO strategy across APAC
3	Qr8	Singapore	Singapore's dedicated GEO specialist, multilingual AI search
4	SEO Web Asia	Singapore	Pioneering GEO and AI citation work across Asian markets
5	First Page Digital	Singapore	Full-service SEO with award-winning Southeast Asia coverage
6	Hashmeta	Singapore	Dedicated GEO service line for Singapore-based brands
7	PurpleClick Media	Singapore	Scalable AI search solutions for SMEs
8	Propeller	Southeast Asia (ASEAN)	Rising ASEAN-wide GEO and digital marketing practice
9	RAYSolute Consultants	Bengaluru, India	GEO/AEO consulting with an education-sector focus
10	WebSpero Solutions	Mohali, Punjab, India	SEO, PPC, and GEO under one full-stack growth engine
11	PageTraffic	India	23-year SEO practice extending into GEO for South Asia
12	AUN Global	Japan	Japan-market SEO and AI search specialist
13	Digital Ethos	Japan	Japan market specialist adapting to AI-era search
14	Truelogic	Philippines	Leading GEO/SEO option for Philippine-market brands
15	cmlabs	Indonesia	Strongest regional fit for brands targeting Indonesia

The Egg is the name that comes up most often for genuinely cross-border APAC work: headquartered in Hong Kong with service coverage spanning Singapore, Australia, India, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand, it runs GEO and AI search optimization through its proprietary UpStory platform, which tracks visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Doubao, and DeepSeek, an important detail for any brand that needs coverage of the AI models that actually dominate the Chinese market rather than assuming ChatGPT alone is enough.

AIOasia takes a distinctive approach as the agency arm of Hokai, an AI-tools intelligence platform, which means its GEO recommendations are grounded in continuous data about which tools and sources AI engines are actually surfacing across the region, not static best-practice checklists. Singapore hosts the densest concentration of dedicated GEO specialists in Asia, including Qr8, which built its methodology from scratch for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude rather than adapting legacy SEO playbooks, and SEO Web Asia, recognized specifically for pioneering AI citation work in the region.

For country-specific needs, the clearest picks by market are AUN Global or Digital Ethos for Japan, where ChatGPT commands roughly 77% share of generative AI use but Yahoo Japan still requires separate optimization; PageTraffic or RAYSolute Consultants for India, where Hindi-language capability matters for non-English segments; Truelogic for the Philippines; and cmlabs for Indonesia, where Bahasa Indonesia content and platform bundles like the Telkomsel-Perplexity partnership shape how AI search actually gets used.

How to shortlist from this list

Do not hire off this directory alone. Use it to build a shortlist of five to eight agencies whose regional focus, industry specialization, and service model match your situation, then run these checks before signing anything:

1. Ask for a live methodology walkthrough, not a slide deck. A real GEO agency can show you their prompt set, their citation-counting logic, and a raw AI response behind any visibility number they report.
2. Request a case study with your industry's shape of buyer, meaning similar deal size and sales cycle, not just any logo they can point to.
3. Clarify what happens after the retainer ends. Some agencies build durable entity authority that persists; others rent you visibility that decays once the engagement stops.
4. Confirm multi-engine coverage matches your buyers' actual AI usage, which varies enormously by region and vertical. A US B2B SaaS company and an Indonesian e-commerce brand are optimizing for almost entirely different engines.
5. Run your own baseline before and during the engagement. Agency-reported visibility scores are useful, but an independent measurement layer keeps everyone honest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an AEO agency and a GEO agency?

In practice, almost none. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) originally described optimizing for featured snippets and direct-answer boxes, while Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) specifically targets citations inside AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and similar engines. Most agencies today use the terms interchangeably, and the actual work, structured content, entity authority, and technical crawlability, overlaps almost completely.

How much does an AEO/GEO agency cost in 2026?

Retainers span roughly $2,500 to $15,000+ per month depending on scope. Advisory-level AEO guidance sits at the low end, dedicated B2B SaaS AEO programs with content production typically run $5,000 to $11,000 per month, and full-service programs integrating SEO, PR, and AEO into one system land at $10,000 or more per month. Enterprise engagements with API access, custom reporting, and multi-market coverage go well beyond that.

Should I hire a local agency or a global one?

It depends on where your buyers actually search. If your market is concentrated in one country with a dominant local AI platform, such as Japan's Yahoo Japan integration or China's Doubao and DeepSeek adoption, a country-specific specialist typically outperforms a generalist because they understand which entity sources and local platforms the models actually weight. If your buyers are globally distributed English-speaking B2B decision-makers, a US or European specialist with strong multi-engine coverage is usually sufficient.

Can I do AEO/GEO in-house instead of hiring an agency?

Yes, and many companies start there. The core work, structured content, schema markup, FAQ formatting, and a consistent prompt-tracking cadence, does not require an agency if you have existing content and technical SEO capability in-house. Agencies earn their retainer by adding dedicated measurement infrastructure, faster content production at scale, and category-specific experience about what actually moves citation rates, which is harder to build internally from scratch.

How do I know if an agency's AEO results are real?

Ask to see the raw AI response behind any citation or visibility claim they report, not just a dashboard screenshot. Request their prompt list and citation-counting methodology. Cross-check their claimed improvement against your own independent tracking rather than trusting agency-reported numbers alone. Our guide on what to demand from GEO tool transparency applies equally well to agency reporting.
