The Best AEO and GEO Agencies Compared: Published Prices and Who Each Fits

Most "best AEO agency" lists are written by agencies that rank themselves first, and this one is no different: we are an agency, we list ourselves, and you should weigh that. What we did instead is limit every claim to what an agency states on its own site or what a named source reports, and where sources disagree we say so. The bottom line: published prices for AI visibility work run from about $349 a month to more than $20,000 a month, only a minority of agencies publish a rate, and the right choice depends on your budget, your site's complexity, and whether you can see how the agency measures results.

What agencies say they charge

Agency	Published starting price	Source of the figure	Notes
Omni Online Strategies (us)	$349, $549, $1,250 a month, and custom from $2,500	Our own pricing page	Each plan lists how many customer questions are monitored monthly: 10, 25, and 50
AEO Engine	$797 or $1,597 a month, depending on the source	Third party lists, which disagree	One list gives $797, $1,597, and $2,997 tiers, another says from $1,597 across five tiers
Embarque	From $1,500 a month	Breaking B2B	Reported as publishing all tiers, per Derivatex
LoudFace	From $5,000 a month	LoudFace's own iPullRank comparison	Published on its own site
Omniscient Digital	From $10,000 a month	Its own site, as reported by several reviewers	Publishes a starting retainer but not a tier breakdown, per Derivatex
NoGood	Average retainer above $20,000 a month	Its own site, as reported by Scalerrs and Tobe Agency	Growth agency where AEO sits beside paid, social, and conversion work
iPullRank	Not published	Reviewers report a Clutch minimum of $50,000 or more	Technical and enterprise focus
First Page Sage	Not published	Reviewers report a Clutch minimum of $10,000 or more	Thought leadership and enterprise attribution

Derivatex found that RevenueZen, Embarque, and PipeRocket Digital publish pricing for all their tiers, while iPullRank, Siege Media, Animalz, NoGood, Single Grain, SimpleTiger, First Page Sage, and Minuttia require a discovery call. That means a claim that any one agency is the only one with public pricing is wrong. An earlier version of this article made that claim about us, and we removed it.

Who each type fits

If you are	The type that usually fits	Why
A local or service business with a small marketing budget	A published price plan with monthly monitoring and content, such as ours, AEO Engine, or Embarque	Lower cost, a defined scope, and no sales call to learn the price
A B2B software company measuring content by pipeline	A content led agency such as Omniscient Digital	Built around content and search for software buyers
A funded scale up that wants AEO inside paid, social, and conversion work	A growth agency such as NoGood	One partner for several channels, at a higher price
An enterprise with a complex site and an internal SEO team	A technical specialist such as iPullRank	Information retrieval and entity level engineering
A brand whose authority lives in press coverage	A digital PR led agency	AI answers cite third party sources heavily

We are smaller than NoGood and iPullRank. Our strength is hands on technical work and monthly monitoring across many industries, and a large enterprise with a complicated site may be better served by a specialist.

How to evaluate any agency, including us

Ask for the question list. The exact customer questions the agency will track for you, with your city and situation in each.
Ask how many runs per question. SparkToro and Gumshoe found less than a 1 in 100 chance that two AI responses returned the same brand list, so a single screenshot proves nothing.
Ask to see an AI answer that names a current client. The answer itself, not a traffic chart.
Ask which platforms are measured. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google's AI features behave differently.
Ask what is done off your site. Reviews, directories, and community presence carry weight in citation studies.
Ask what you own when you leave. Listings, pages, and reports.
Read the contract term and exit terms. Search and AI change quickly, and long lock ins add risk.
Be wary of guarantees. No one controls what an assistant recommends, and Google says AI Overviews need no special files or markup.

A note on the sources

Several of the lists we drew prices from are published by agencies that compete with the ones they list, and prices change. Confirm any figure on the agency's own site before you rely on it.
