Every SEO agency has added AEO to their services page. Can't blame them — it's where the industry is headed. But adding a line item and actually knowing how to get brands cited in AI platforms are two very different things.
Through years of building authority for B2B brands at Animalz, we knew our approach would translate well to AEO. We're already seeing results for our clients.
But we can't take all the spotlight — this list includes other agencies with proven track records for getting brands cited in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
1. Animalz
Best for: B2B SaaS companies building authority through strategic content that earns AI citations
Animalz is a content marketing agency specializing in B2B SaaS. We've woven AEO/GEO throughout our content strategies, helping brands show up where buyers actually search — including AI platforms.
We conduct AEO audits to map your current AI visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI Overview and build a plan for how to increase it. You get competitive benchmarking and an entity map showing who LLMs trust in your space. Then, we build a content restructuring plan: summaries, FAQs, comparison tables, schema implementation — all prioritized in a 90-day roadmap.
The execution includes on-page SEO improvements, internal linking, and content formatted for AI platforms to cite. Our team produces everything from AEO-optimized blog articles and comprehensive ebooks to whitepapers, case studies, and thought leadership content — all built to perform in both traditional search and AI-generated answers.
We're the right choice for SaaS companies that refuse to compromise between AEO performance and editorial quality. Through deep interviews with subject matter experts, we create content that drives authority and AI citations.
Notable clients: Wistia, GoDaddy, Zendesk, Intercom, AdEspresso, Retool, Amplitude

2. First Page Sage
Best for: Complex B2B brands in medtech, manufacturing, and enterprise software
First Page Sage is a digital marketing agency that combines traditional SEO and reputation management with GEO.
They published the first major study on AI recommendation algorithms, analyzing 11,128 queries across the top four AI platforms. The goal: to pinpoint the factors that make generative engines recommend one brand over another.
First Page Sage’s approach combines three layers: technical optimization for AI crawlers, strategic content that answers the questions AI platforms pull from, and reputation signals that build the trust generative engines need to cite you.
3. NoGood
Best for: High-growth tech and healthcare companies that want real-time AI visibility tracking
NoGood is a growth marketing agency that weaves AEO into its full-service offering alongside SEO, content marketing, and paid media.
The agency’s standout development is Goodie, their proprietary AEO platform. It monitors your brand's visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity in real time.
Their process starts with LLM visibility audits to understand where you currently show up in AI-generated answers. Then, they layer in technical optimization, schema implementation, and content specifically formatted for AI readability. They also run prompt-gap analysis — reverse-engineering the questions people ask AI platforms to figure out which queries you should own.
NoGood has worked with Spring Health, Oura, and Procter & Gamble, focusing on brands that need both immediate performance and long-term visibility in AI search.
4. Omniscient Digital
Best for: B2B brands with long sales cycles that need attribution from AI traffic to revenue
Omniscient Digital is an organic growth agency. They've integrated GEO into their core offering, focusing specifically on brands where technical complexity meets long sales cycles.
Back in 2019, Alex Birkett (the agency co-founder) pioneered "Surround Sound SEO" — a strategy focused on getting mentioned favorably across all pages ranking for high-intent search terms. Alongside ranking your content, you appear on third-party lists, comparison pages, and review sites. The agency has extended this approach to AI platforms, working to increase client visibility across LLMs.
What sets Omniscient apart is their obsession with attribution. Every piece of content gets mapped to business outcomes like demo requests, pipeline contribution, and revenue influence.
5. iPullRank
Best for: Enterprise brands with large-scale, technical SEO challenges
iPullRank is an enterprise SEO and content strategy agency founded by Mike King.
The agency developed the "Relevance Engineering" framework, which is now widely adopted across the industry. It maps AI retrieval mechanics, such as query fan-outs, passage retrieval, and embeddings, to engineer content specifically for how generative platforms cite sources.
Following the framework, they engineer content at the passage level for how ChatGPT and AI Overviews actually work, combining technical SEO, content strategy, and digital PR to increase citation likelihood.
iPullRank's clients include SAP, American Express, HSBC, and other enterprise brands with technical challenges that go beyond basic optimization.
6. RevenueZen
Best for: B2B companies that want to build in-house AEO capabilities through agency training
RevenueZen is a B2B growth agency that specializes in SEO, content marketing, and LinkedIn thought leadership. They've expanded into GEO with a focus on turning AI visibility into actual pipeline and revenue.
The agency’s framework blends brand storytelling with technical optimization. The process starts with SME interviews — they talk to your internal experts to create thought leadership content that's technically accurate.
From there, they build topic clusters and implement schema markup to optimize for AI understanding. They also secure placements in industry publications that AI platforms cite when generating recommendations.
What sets RevenueZen apart is their approach to knowledge sharing. They offer custom workshops on AI search optimization, content strategy, and analytics to help in-house teams make informed decisions and maintain momentum after engagement.
7. Go Fish Digital
Best for: Ecommerce brands that need performance marketing and AEO under one roof
Go Fish Digital is a performance marketing agency offering services from content marketing to social commerce. They offer AEO backed by strong SEO fundamentals to help brands show up in AI-powered search.

8. Avenue Z
Best for: Founder-led companies looking to use PR and media coverage to boost AEO results

The agency's model works particularly well for founder-led brands building thought leadership. Beyond technical optimization, they secure media placements and build digital authority that AI platforms recognize when forming recommendations.

Perrill is a Minneapolis-based full-service agency with nearly three decades of experience. They bring together web development, content marketing, paid media, SEO, and AEO under one roof.
The agency has adapted their audits and workflows to focus on authority signals, entity structure, and semantic clarity — the elements that generative engines evaluate when deciding which brands to cite.
Perrill serves mid-market companies across B2B, manufacturing, ecommerce, healthcare, and legal sectors. They've built custom GPT tools to test client visibility across AI platforms and track whether GEO efforts actually drive results.
10. Stratabeat
Best for: B2B tech companies with complex buyer journeys that need combined SEO and AEO
Stratabeat is a digital marketing agency that approaches GEO through the lens of audience psychology and buyer behavior research.
Their process starts with deep audience research. They interview buyers and sales teams, analyze CRM data, and map out the actual decision-making journey before writing a single word of content. This research foundation shapes everything — from the questions they optimize for to how they structure content for AI comprehension.
Stratabeat works with B2B tech brands that want their expertise positioned correctly in AI-generated answers — clients who need more than just technical optimization.
Build Your LLM Visibility With a Trusted Partner
Buyers are already using AI platforms to research vendors, compare products, and evaluate solutions. This trend is only going to accelerate. Choosing a trusted partner who understands AEO means you're positioned correctly as AI search becomes the default research tool.
The best signal for both buyers and AI platforms is authority. Generative engines cite brands they trust, and buyers act on recommendations from sources they recognize as credible.
Animalz specializes in building that authority through strategic content that earns AI citations. Get in touch to learn about our AEO work and how we'll help you show up in AI-generated answers.
