Your next agency shortlist probably won’t come from a Google results page, because more buyers now ask ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity which AI SEO agency they should hire. If you want an agency that wins those recommendations and can show the revenue they produce, the best AI SEO agency in 2026 is 95 Projects. This guide compares six AI SEO agencies on pricing, proof and how each one approaches AI search. You’ll also find cost benchmarks, what AI SEO agencies do differently, and a quick way to match an agency to your business.
Book a call and we’ll walk through where you’re recommended, where competitors are, and what it’s worth in revenue.
We checked every agency on this list, including our own, against the same five criteria:
How each agency compared on what it publishes:
95 Projects is an AI SEO agency best for B2B, SaaS and ecommerce brands that want AI search visibility measured in revenue, not just rankings or mentions.
95 Projects was early to GEO. It started optimizing clients for ChatGPT and other AI search tools before most agencies offered GEO at all, building on its SEO and PPC work, and those early programs produced some of the first documented ChatGPT recommendation wins. Today it runs SEO, GEO and PPC from a single team. Austin Coker, the founder, is on every account, and senior strategists carry capped account loads, so the people who scope your engagement are the people doing the work. Digital PR is handled in-house. That matters more in 2026 than it did a few years ago, because ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews lean heavily on what other sites say about a brand when deciding who to recommend.
The agency’s AI search work starts with the prompts your buyers actually type, such as “best electrolytes with no sweeteners” or “best recruitment agency for” a specific role. From there, the team tracks how often you’re recommended, which sources AI search pulls from, and what those referrals turn into in pipeline and sales. Generative engine optimization and traditional SEO run together rather than as separate projects, and PPC can sit under the same roof for brands that want search managed in one place.
95 Projects takes on a small number of new engagements each quarter so senior attention stays on existing clients.
Published pricing starts at $5,000 per month.

We’ll show you which prompts matter in your category and who’s winning them today.
iPullRank is a Brooklyn, NY agency founded in 2014 and led by Mike King, who was named Search Engine Land’s 2025 AI Search Marketer of the Year. The agency is known for “relevance engineering,” its approach to making content and site architecture understandable to modern search systems.
Its services include technical and enterprise SEO, content strategy structured for AI Overviews, Perplexity and ChatGPT, and entity and knowledge graph work. iPullRank also runs a proprietary platform called ExactScience. Enterprise clients are served by a dedicated pod, which suits large organizations with many stakeholders and complex sites.
iPullRank works on a fixed-cost, deliverable-based model. For a company with a large site, internal engineering resources and a need for deep technical guidance, that structure can work well. For a mid-market brand that wants ongoing execution and reporting tied to revenue, the entry point is high.
A third-party listing shows $10,000–$20,000 per month and a $50,000+ minimum, on a fixed-cost, deliverable-based model.
Siege Media was founded in 2012 and is based in Austin, TX, with offices in Chicago, New York and San Francisco. It offers SEO, GEO/AEO, content marketing and digital PR, and its client list includes Intuit, Asana, Zendesk, Chime, Airbnb and Zillow.
Siege Media’s roots are in content marketing, and its GEO/AEO work builds on that. For a brand with a meaningful content budget that wants a steady flow of high-quality articles supported by digital PR, it’s one of the better-known options. The client roster also signals that it’s comfortable working with large, recognizable brands and their approval processes.
Buyers who want AI search reporting tied to revenue should ask directly how Siege Media measures GEO results, since its public proof leans on client logos.
DesignRush lists a $10,000–$25,000 minimum budget and a $150/hour average rate.
Go Fish Digital is based in Raleigh, NC, with offices in Boston, DC, Phoenix, San Diego and Jacksonville. The agency says it has 20 years in search and offers GEO, SEO, digital PR and paid media.
On the AI search side, Go Fish Digital built Barracuda, a tool for monitoring brand visibility in ChatGPT. That’s useful for teams that want ongoing tracking of how AI search talks about them. Client results cited on its site include MoneyGeek, where clicks rose 74.8%.
The agency also offers free GEO audits, which gives buyers a low-risk way to see how it thinks before committing. With paid media in the mix, it can cover more of the search channel than a pure SEO shop.
Go Fish Digital doesn’t publish pricing. Free GEO audits are available.
Single Grain offers AI SEO services that span content, technical SEO, authority building, local SEO, CRO and analytics, plus work on visibility in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and AI Overviews. The agency is associated with Eric Siu and the Leveling Up podcast, and it shares testimonials from Nextiva and Lever.
The breadth of the service menu is the main draw. A growth-stage company that wants one partner to handle conversion rate optimization and analytics alongside AI SEO may find that convenient. The podcast also gives prospective clients a sense of the team’s thinking before they reach out.
The tradeoff with a wide menu is that you’ll want clarity on which services you’re actually buying and who on the team will run them. Ask for specific AI search outcomes for companies like yours during the sales process.
Single Grain doesn’t publish pricing.
First Page Sage approaches GEO/AEO through placement in “best of” list articles, SEO for those lists, review generation and PR. The agency says it began offering GEO in early 2024, and its industry pages cover B2B SaaS, cybersecurity, fintech, healthcare, law firms and manufacturing.
The list-placement strategy is built on a simple observation: AI search often cites roundup articles when answering “best” questions. If your category is dominated by those lists, getting included can move AI recommendations. The industry focus also makes First Page Sage a reasonable fit for regulated or technical B2B companies.
First Page Sage publishes GEO market pricing tiers, which helps buyers understand typical cost ranges, but its own agency fees beyond those tiers aren’t published.
Publishes GEO market pricing tiers of $2,000–$3,000, $4,000–$7,000 and $8,000–$12,000 per month. Agency fees beyond those tiers are not published.
Most AI SEO agencies with published or listed pricing charge between $5,000 and $25,000 per month in 2026, with GEO-only packages starting around $2,000. Enterprise-focused agencies can require minimum engagements of $50,000 or more.
A traditional SEO agency optimizes for rankings and clicks. An AI SEO agency optimizes for whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google’s AI Overviews mention and recommend your brand, and then measures what those recommendations bring in.
The shift matters because AI answers absorb clicks. A Pew Research Center analysis found that Google users clicked a traditional result in 8% of visits when an AI summary appeared, compared with 15% when it didn’t.
What gets cited also changes. Research led by Princeton found that adding citations, quotations and statistics improved visibility in generative engine responses by up to 40%. In practice, AI SEO agencies spend more time on prompt research, third-party mentions through digital PR, and content that states facts clearly enough for AI search to quote.
An AI SEO agency focuses on organic visibility in search engines and AI search, including Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. An AI marketing agency usually means a firm that uses AI across many channels, such as paid ads, email, creative and automation.
If your goal is to be the brand AI search recommends when buyers ask for options in your category, hire an AI SEO agency. If you need help across your whole marketing mix, an AI marketing agency may fit, though its search depth varies widely.
This guide is published by 95 Projects, and we rank ourselves first. We held 95 Projects to the same five checks used for every other agency on the list. Rankings are based on each agency’s own website, published pricing, and third-party listings, including Clutch and DesignRush. Where an agency doesn’t publish pricing or results, we’ve said so rather than estimating.
Book a call to see which prompts you’re winning, which ones competitors own, and what closing that gap is worth.

95 Projects is the best AI SEO agency in 2026 for B2B, SaaS and ecommerce brands that want AI search visibility tied to revenue. It has documented #1 ChatGPT recommendations, reports revenue from AI referrals, publishes pricing and keeps its founder on every account. For enterprise brands with large budgets, iPullRank is a strong alternative.
Most AI SEO agencies charge between $5,000 and $25,000 per month in 2026. GEO-focused packages can start around $2,000 per month, while enterprise agencies may require minimums of $50,000 or more. 95 Projects publishes its pricing, which starts at $5,000 per month.
AI search wins can arrive faster than traditional SEO. Buoy became the #1 ChatGPT recommendation for its target prompt in 3 weeks, while revenue results for 95 Projects clients have typically shown up within 3 to 9 months. Timelines depend on your category, competition and starting authority.
No agency can guarantee ChatGPT recommendations, because AI search answers vary by prompt, user and model updates. What an agency can do is measure how often you’re recommended and improve it. For example, 95 Projects tracked an 87% recommendation rate for Buoy on its target prompt.
GEO, or generative engine optimization, refers specifically to improving visibility in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and AI Overviews. AI SEO is the broader term, covering GEO plus traditional SEO, since AI search often draws on pages that already rank well and earn third-party mentions.
No. An AI marketing agency uses AI across channels like paid ads, email and creative. An AI SEO agency specializes in organic visibility in Google and AI search. If your priority is being recommended by ChatGPT or Perplexity when buyers compare options, an AI SEO agency is the better fit.
Many use AI somewhere in their workflow, for research, outlining or analysis. The agencies that earn AI search citations still rely on human strategy, expert input and editing, because AI search favors content with clear facts, sources and statistics. Ask any agency you’re evaluating exactly how AI is used in their content process.
