Search is no longer just Google.
Your buyers still use Google, but they also ask ChatGPT for recommendations. They compare tools in Perplexity. They read Reddit threads, watch YouTube reviews, skim third-party listicles, and look for shortcuts before they ever speak to sales.
That changes the job of SEO.
Ranking on page one is still useful. But for B2B SaaS and tech companies, organic visibility now spreads across more places: Google results, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, review sites, and community discussions.
That is why more agencies now position themselves around AI SEO, AEO, GEO, LLMO, or AI visibility.
The labels are messy, but the goal is simple: to help your brand become easier for search engines, AI systems, and buyers to understand, trust, cite, and recommend.
In this guide, I compare seven AI SEO agencies worth considering if you want stronger visibility across Google, AI search, and the places your buyers now use to make decisions.

What is an AI SEO agency?
An AI SEO agency helps companies improve how often, how accurately, and how positively they appear across AI-influenced search experiences.
That can include Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT search, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, answer boxes, featured snippets, Reddit threads, comparison content, review pages, and other sources that influence AI-generated recommendations.
In practice, AI SEO usually combines traditional SEO with newer AI search work.
A strong agency may help with technical SEO, content strategy, content refreshes, structured data, digital PR, brand mentions, citation building, AI visibility tracking, and bottom-funnel content.
The best AI SEO agencies do not treat AI visibility as a gimmick. They understand that AI search visibility is built on the same foundations that make a brand credible elsewhere—strong content, clear positioning, third-party validation, technical accessibility, authority, and relevance to specific buyer questions.
What should you look for in an AI SEO agency?
Choosing an AI SEO agency is not the same as hiring a general content vendor. The right partner should understand search, content, technical optimization, brand authority, and revenue impact.
A good partner should understand search, content, technical SEO, brand authority, and how organic visibility connects to revenue.
Here are the main things to check before you book calls.
1. A clear point of view on AI search
The agency should be able to explain how AI search works without hiding behind buzzwords.
You want a partner that can clearly explain what they mean by AI SEO, AEO, GEO, or LLMO, and how those efforts connect to your business goals.
You want to know:
- Which platforms they optimize for
- How they track visibility
- What they can realistically influence
- How the work connects to demos, signups, pipeline, or revenue
Be cautious with agencies that promise guaranteed ChatGPT rankings or make AI visibility sound like a simple checklist.
AI-generated answers are dynamic, personalized, and influenced by many different sources.
A credible agency will discuss how to improve your chances of being mentioned, cited, and understood. They will not make AI visibility sound like a fixed ranking system.
2. Strong traditional SEO fundamentals
AI SEO builds on traditional SEO.
A good agency should still understand technical SEO, search intent, site architecture, internal linking, content strategy, backlinks, indexing, crawlability, and conversion optimization.
If an agency only talks about AI tools but cannot explain the SEO fundamentals underneath, that is a red flag.
3. Experience with B2B buyer journeys
B2B search behavior is different from consumer search behavior.
Buyers often compare vendors, evaluate alternatives, build internal business cases, and seek proof that a solution fits their specific use case.
That means the agency should know how to create and understand the importance of pages like:
- Best software lists
- Alternative pages
- Comparison pages
- Use case pages
- Integration pages
- Industry pages
- Problem-led blog posts
- Bottom-of-funnel landing pages
- Product-led educational content
For SaaS companies, AI search visibility is not only about being mentioned. You want to show up for the questions buyers ask as they decide what to try, shortlist, or recommend internally.
4. Measurement beyond traffic
Traffic is useful, but it is not enough.
AI SEO agencies should be able to track metrics such as organic pipeline, qualified demos, SQLs, assisted conversions, AI citations, brand mentions, share of voice, answer visibility, conversion rate, and ranking movement for high-intent topics.
The most useful agencies connect visibility to business outcomes.
5. Proof of execution
Look for case studies, customer examples, public results, testimonials, or clear examples of how the agency works.
Self-reported results should always be validated during the sales process, but they are still useful for understanding the type of work an agency does and the outcomes it prioritizes.
6. Fit with your stage and budget
Some agencies are built for early-stage companies that need a focused sprint. Others are better suited for scaleups or enterprise teams with complex websites, multiple markets, and larger content operations.
Before choosing an agency, clarify whether you need strategy, execution, technical SEO, content production, digital PR, AI tracking, or all of the above.
How I selected these agencies
As a freelance writer, I’ve helped myself and clients show up on AI answers. I’ve done this by creating bottom-funnel content and earning placements on third-party sites.
So when I evaluate an AI SEO agency, I’m looking for signs that they understand buyer intent, product positioning, content quality, search visibility, and how organic content supports the pipeline.
Some agencies on this list are better for technical SEO. Some are better for authority building and digital PR. Others are stronger when you need a full organic growth system.
Each agency on this list shows at least one of these strengths:
- Clear AI SEO, AEO, GEO, or AI visibility positioning
- Experience with B2B SaaS or technology companies
- Strong traditional SEO foundations
- Content strategy and execution capabilities
- Technical SEO or programmatic SEO expertise
- AI visibility tracking or citation-focused services
- Revenue, pipeline, demo, signup, or SQL-oriented measurement
- Public case studies, service pages, or pricing information
- A clear reason to choose them over a generalist SEO agency
This list is not meant to rank every SEO agency on the market. Instead, it highlights agencies that are especially relevant for companies trying to adapt their organic growth strategy for AI search.
The right choice depends on what your team needs most.
1. BreakingB2B
Best for: B2B SaaS and technology companies that want SEO and AEO tied directly to pipeline.
BreakingB2B is a B2B SEO and AEO agency built around a clear promise: organic search should drive revenue, not just rankings or traffic.
The agency focuses on helping B2B companies capture high-intent searches from buyers who are actively comparing solutions, looking for alternatives, or researching the specific problems a company solves.
Its approach includes bottom-funnel SEO strategy, revenue-focused content, technical updates, link building, reporting, and end-to-end execution.
Why BreakingB2B stands out
BreakingB2B stands out because its positioning is unusually direct for this category.
Instead of framing AI SEO as a vague visibility play, the agency connects Google and AI search strategy to pipeline creation.
That makes it a strong fit for SaaS companies that already have product-market fit, know their best-fit customers, and want organic search to become a predictable acquisition channel.
Key services
B2B SaaS SEO, AEO, Google and AI search strategy, competitor research, revenue-focused content, technical SEO, link building, reporting, and ongoing optimization.
BreakingB2B pricing
BreakingB2B publishes pricing publicly. Its plans start at $4K per month, with Growth at $5.5K, Accelerate at $10K, and Enterprise at $ 20K.
The agency runs 90-day sprints and says its average client spend is around $7K per month.
Potential drawbacks
BreakingB2B is a specialist agency, not a full-service marketing partner. Companies looking for paid media, brand strategy, lifecycle marketing, or creative production may need additional partners.
Bottom line
Choose BreakingB2B if you want a B2B-focused SEO/AEO partner with transparent pricing, senior-led execution, and a strong focus on pipeline.
2. Foundation Inc
Best for: B2B, SaaS, enterprise, and “boring industry” brands that need AI visibility, content strategy, and distribution.
Foundation Inc, also known as Foundation Marketing, is a digital and content marketing agency for B2B brands.
The agency focuses on helping companies improve visibility across search, AI platforms, communities, and distribution channels.
Foundation may be a good fit for larger B2B teams that already publish content but need stronger distribution, clearer positioning, and better visibility across AI search and community-led discovery.
Its emphasis on Reddit is also notable, since community threads increasingly influence both buyer research and AI-generated answers.
Why Foundation Inc stands out
Foundation is a strong fit for companies that do not want to treat AI SEO as only an on-site content exercise.
Its positioning emphasizes getting brands cited, recommended, and trusted by the models shaping buying decisions.
Foundation’s approach appears to combine research, creation, distribution, and optimization rather than focusing only on rankings. It also specifically calls out metrics like citation rate, share of model, and AI-driven pipeline, which are useful for marketing leaders trying to understand whether AI visibility is actually influencing demand.
Key services
Generative Engine Optimization, AI visibility strategy, technical SEO/GEO, content marketing strategy, Reddit marketing, content distribution, digital PR, LLM advertising, paid search, and demand generation.
Foundation Inc pricing
Foundation does not appear to publish standard pricing on the reviewed pages. Expect custom pricing based on scope, goals, and channel mix.
Potential drawbacks
Foundation may be more than an early-stage company needs if the immediate goal is a narrow SEO sprint or a cheap content package.
Bottom line
Choose Foundation if you want an AI visibility partner that combines content strategy, technical SEO, distribution, digital PR, and community visibility for B2B markets.
3. Spicy Margarita
Best for: B2B companies that want a boutique SEO and AEO partner embedded closely with their team.
Spicy Margarita is a boutique SEO and AI search agency focused on helping companies build predictable search-driven growth engines.
The agency speaks directly to problems like unpredictable search leads, weak SEO-to-sales outcomes, and not being recommended by ChatGPT.
Its positioning is highly revenue-focused: visibility and clicks are not enough unless they lead to conversions, sales calls, and business outcomes.
Why Spicy Margarita stands out
One of the more interesting things about Spicy Margarita is its operating model.
The agency is intentionally boutique and does not take on more than 10 clients at a time.
That makes it a good potential fit for companies that want senior attention, close collaboration, and a partner that feels more like an extension of the internal team than a high-volume vendor.
Key services
SEO strategy, AI SEO/AEO, technical audits, keyword research, content roadmaps, content briefs, expert-written articles, backlinks, Reddit threads, analytics, reporting, and growth advisory.
Spicy Margarita pricing
Its Fractional SEO & Content Leadership package is listed at £4,499/$5,999 per month and includes strategy, technical direction, content roadmap work, briefs, and backlinks.
Its SEO Done For You package starts at £7,950/$10,499 per month and adds article production, backlinks, Reddit threads, and full content operations support.
Potential drawbacks
The boutique model may mean limited availability. Spicy Margarita is also likely not the best fit for companies looking for a broad full-service agency across paid media, brand, creative, and lifecycle marketing.
Bottom line
Choose Spicy Margarita if you want a hands-on, boutique SEO/AEO partner with clear pricing, close strategic involvement, and a strong focus on turning search visibility into sales outcomes.
4. Omnius
Best for: SaaS, fintech, and technology companies that want a Europe-based GEO and AI search partner.
Omnius is a GEO agency that helps brands improve visibility in AI search engines.
The agency optimizes websites for ranking in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini and positions itself as a partner for European SaaS and fintech startups as well as enterprise companies.
Why Omnius stands out
Omnius is a strong fit for companies that want to treat AI SEO as an extension of traditional SEO rather than a replacement for it. The agency explicitly frames GEO, LLMO, AEO, and AISEO as part of a broader evolution toward multi-channel SEO.
It says GEO should not be isolated from SEO activities, but should be added as another layer on top of a strong search foundation.
Key services
GEO strategy, AI crawler optimization, strategic keyword placement, schema markup, LLMs.txt file creation, featured snippet optimization, multimodal content enhancement, citation engineering, knowledge panel management, and AI-friendly content structure.
That makes it especially relevant for companies that care about the technical and structural side of AI search visibility.
For example, brands with complex websites, multiple product lines, international content, or technical buyer journeys may benefit from an agency that thinks about crawler access, schema, content structure, and AI-readable information architecture.
Omnius pricing
Omnius does not appear to publish standard pricing on the official GEO service page reviewed. Expect custom pricing based on scope and market complexity.
Potential drawbacks
Omnius appears especially strong on SEO/GEO strategy and technical AI search optimization. Companies that need broader campaign execution across paid media, creative, brand, or lifecycle marketing should confirm whether those services are included or handled through other partners.
Bottom line
Choose Omnius if you want a specialist GEO partner with a strong technical orientation and a clear focus on visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and traditional search.
5. Graphite
Best for: Growth-stage and larger companies that want an AI-powered growth team across SEO, AEO, content, technical SEO, and programmatic growth.
Graphite positions itself as an AI-powered growth team focused on helping companies create “the best content, everywhere that matters.”
Graphite may be especially relevant for companies that want to use AI to prioritize the highest-impact search opportunities. Its messaging emphasizes identifying the small percentage of work that drives most of the impact, then using an AI-powered team to execute faster.
Why Graphite stands out
Graphite’s strongest angle is scale.
While many AI SEO agencies focus mainly on content and citations, Graphite appears to be built for companies that need a more advanced growth system: strategy, technical infrastructure, programmatic pages, reporting, and experimentation.
That makes it a compelling option for teams with large websites, multiple audience segments, marketplace-style pages, international SEO opportunities, or a need to scale organic acquisition beyond a conventional blog strategy.
Key services
SEO, AEO, content strategy, technical SEO, programmatic SEO, AI visibility tracking, topical authority, scalable page templates, growth forecasting, internal linking, AI citation insights, and custom reporting.
Graphite pricing
Custom pricing.
Potential drawbacks
Graphite may not be the right fit for small companies looking for a simple SEO package. Its model appears better suited to teams ready to invest in a broader growth system.
Bottom line
Choose Graphite if you need a sophisticated SEO/AEO partner for technical, editorial, and programmatic growth at scale.
6. Skale.so
Best for: SaaS and tech companies that want organic growth tied to signups, pipeline, revenue, and AI search visibility.
Skale is an SEO and GEO agency for B2B and tech companies. Its services include Generative Engine Optimization, AI Brand Mentions, SaaS SEO, link building and outreach, content production, website migrations, and broader SEO strategy.
Skale is a strong fit for teams that want organic search to be measured like a growth channel, not just a traffic channel.
The agency emphasizes business impact, 3-month agile sprints, opportunity sizing, forecast modeling, content production, link building, CRO, and digital reporting.
It also highlights AI Search Optimization across platforms like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, with measurement that includes sentiment analysis, rank tracking, competitive benchmarks, and bottom-line impact.
Key services
GEO, AI search audits, technical AI crawlability audits, AI link analysis, brand mention outreach, schema markup, AI competitor tracking, content restructuring, AI rank tracking, GEO attribution modeling, AI-relevant link building, integrated SEO/GEO roadmaps, and AI-optimized content gap analysis.
Skale pricing
Custom pricing.
Potential drawbacks
Skale may be better suited to companies that already have clear growth goals and enough budget to support strategy, content, links, technical work, and measurement.
Bottom line
Choose Skale if you want a SaaS-focused SEO/GEO partner with a revenue-led approach and strong measurement across both traditional and AI search.
7. Minuttia
Best for: Established B2B SaaS and technology brands that want to improve visibility across Google, ChatGPT, and the next generation of search.
Minuttia positions itself as helping brands build visibility across Google, ChatGPT, and whatever comes next.
The agency works with established brands and focuses on building a content marketing playbook for changing search behavior, AI visibility, and long-term organic growth.
Minuttia is a strong fit for companies that already take content seriously but need to modernize their approach to AI search.
Why Minuttia stands out
Minuttia’s positioning is especially relevant for companies trying to balance AI efficiency with brand safety.
The agency explicitly warns that AI can scale content quickly but can also damage reputation if used poorly.
Its AI content service is framed around strategy, execution, safe deployment, and human review, which is a useful message for marketing leaders who want scale without publishing generic or risky content.
Key services
Google and AI search strategy, human-led content creation, AI-assisted content creation, programmatic SEO opportunities, digital PR, brand mentions, agent analytics, reporting, AEO, GEO, LLMO, B2B SEO, content marketing, and SaaS link building.
Minuttia pricing
Custom pricing.
Potential drawbacks
Minuttia may not be the best fit for very early-stage companies looking for a low-cost SEO execution vendor. Its positioning suggests a better fit for established brands that need a strategic content and AI search partner.
Bottom line
Choose Minuttia if you want a content-led AI SEO agency that can support Google search, AI search, digital PR, human content, AI-assisted content, and analytics under one strategy.
How to choose the right AI SEO agency
The best agency for your company depends on your stage, goals, budget, and internal resources.
If you already have a strong marketing team but need expert direction, a strategic partner or fractional SEO/AEO model may be enough.
If you have limited internal bandwidth, you may need a done-for-you agency that handles research, strategy, content, technical SEO, link building, and reporting.
Before booking sales calls, define what you actually need.
Choose a specialist if you need depth
If your biggest problem is organic search performance, AI search visibility, or content that does not convert, a specialist SEO/AEO agency is usually a better fit than a broad full-service agency.
Specialists tend to have sharper processes, clearer benchmarks, and more experience with the details that matter in search.
Choose a full-service growth partner if you need scale
If your company has a large site, multiple products, multiple regions, or complex technical needs, you may need a broader organic growth partner. In that case, look for capabilities like programmatic SEO, technical SEO, content systems, international SEO, data reporting, and conversion optimization.
Choose based on business outcomes, not deliverables
A long content calendar is not a strategy. Neither is a list of keywords.
The right agency should be able to explain how their work connects to outcomes such as qualified traffic, pipeline, demos, revenue, signups, AI citations, brand mentions, or conversion rate improvements.
Ask each agency how they prioritize work. The answer should not be “we publish more content.” It should involve opportunity sizing, competitive analysis, buyer intent, technical constraints, authority gaps, and expected business impact.
Choose a writer if the strategy is already clear
An agency makes sense when you need strategy, technical SEO, link building, reporting, and execution handled together.
A freelancer writer makes more sense when your team already knows what needs to be published, but the work keeps getting stuck.
For example, you may already have:
- A list of competitor comparison pages to create
- Old blog posts losing rankings
- High-intent keywords sitting in a content plan
- Product-led topics your team wants to cover
- AI search gaps you want to close with clearer, more useful content
In that case, hiring a full agency may be more than you need.
A senior freelance SEO content writer can help turn those topics into articles that help you show up on AI search.
Questions to ask before hiring an AI SEO agency
Before choosing an AI SEO agency, ask questions like:
- How do you define AI SEO, AEO, GEO, or LLMO?
- Which AI search platforms do you monitor?
- How do you measure AI visibility?
- How do you connect AI visibility to pipeline or revenue?
- What types of pages would you prioritize for our business?
- Do you handle technical SEO, or only content?
- Do you create content in-house or outsource it?
- How do you build authority and third-party mentions?
- What does reporting look like?
- What results should we realistically expect in the first 90 days?
- What do you need from our internal team?
- Do you require a long-term contract?
The strongest agencies will answer these questions clearly. They will also tell you when SEO or AI SEO is not the right investment yet.
When should you hire an AI SEO agency?
You should consider hiring an AI SEO agency if:
- Organic search is already an important acquisition channel
- Your buyers research heavily before speaking to sales
- Competitors are appearing in AI-generated recommendations, and you are not
- Your content gets traffic, but does not produce pipeline
- Your technical SEO foundation needs improvement
- You need to refresh old content for current buyer behavior
- You want visibility across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and AI Overviews
- You do not have internal expertise to manage SEO, AEO, content, and AI visibility tracking
You may not need an AI SEO agency yet if your positioning is unclear, your website is not conversion-ready, or you do not know which customer segments you want to target.
In those cases, it’s better to clarify your messaging, ICP, and offer before investing heavily in SEO.
Before you choose an AI SEO agency
B2B buyers no longer move through one neat search journey.
They ask AI tools for recommendations, compare vendors on Google, read listicles, Reddit threads, review sites, and product pages. They also look for proof before they fill out a demo form.
That means your organic strategy has to cover more than rankings.
The best AI SEO agency for your company depends on the job you need done. Before you book calls, get clear on the gap.
In my experience, the companies that get the best results from AI SEO usually start with bottom-funnel topics first, then expand into broader educational content once they have proven what converts.
That is the approach I use with B2B companies. I start with buying-intent keyword research, conduct expert interviews, and create product-led articles designed to support demos, sales calls, and revenue.
Want to see what that’d look like for your brand? Let’s talk.
AI SEO agency FAQs
What is the difference between SEO and AI SEO?
SEO focuses on improving your visibility in traditional search engines like Google.
AI SEO expands that work to include AI-generated answers, answer engines, LLM citations, brand mentions, and visibility across tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.
The two disciplines overlap heavily. Strong AI SEO still depends on strong technical SEO, helpful content, authority, and relevance.
What is AEO?
AEO stands for answer engine optimization. It focuses on making your content easier for answer engines and AI systems to understand, extract, summarize, and cite.
This often includes a clear content structure, direct answers, schema markup, entity optimization, FAQs, comparison content, and building authoritative sources.
What is GEO?
GEO stands for generative engine optimization. It usually refers to optimizing your brand, content, and digital presence for generative AI search experiences.
GEO may include AI visibility tracking, citation optimization, brand-mention strategy, content restructuring, digital PR, and technical work to help AI systems access and understand your site.
How much do AI SEO agencies cost?
Pricing varies widely depending on the agency, scope, market, and level of execution. Some agencies publish monthly retainers, while others use custom pricing based on your goals and site complexity.
In this list, BreakingB2B and Spicy Margarita publish pricing publicly. Most other agencies reviewed use custom pricing or do not clearly list standard pricing on their service pages.
Can an agency guarantee visibility in ChatGPT or AI Overviews?
Be careful with guarantees. AI-generated answers can change based on the query, user context, model updates, freshness, and source availability.
A credible agency may improve your chances of being cited or mentioned, but it should not present AI visibility as a simple, guaranteed ranking system.
Is AI SEO only for SaaS companies?
No. AI SEO can apply to many industries. However, it is especially relevant to B2B SaaS and tech companies because buyers often conduct detailed research, compare vendors, seek recommendations, and validate decisions across multiple sources before contacting sales.
