You’re looking to hire a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) agency to ensure your brand gets recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI search engines.

The problem where most agencies fall short?

They’re still focused purely on traditional SEO tactics and haven’t developed specialized expertise in how AI models discover, evaluate, and recommend brands across different industries and use cases.

At Rock The Rankings, we pioneered AI search optimization strategies for B2B SaaS companies, helping brands achieve visibility in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews.

Over the past year, we’ve helped clients move from zero AI search presence to consistent recommendations across major LLMs, driving qualified leads and pipeline from this rapidly growing discovery channel.

In this breakdown, we review the top GEO agencies across different specializations and offer our insights on choosing the right partner for AI search optimization.

1. Rock The Rankings

Rock The Rankings is a specialized GEO agency that focuses exclusively on getting B2B SaaS brands recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and other AI search engines.

We pioneered AI search optimization strategies specifically for the B2B SaaS vertical, developing proprietary frameworks that consistently deliver AI visibility and recommendations within weeks, not months.

Rock The Rankings is a strategic growth partner with a compact team of 15 employees. We provide one-on-one engagements directly with our founder. You won’t find any junior account managers with 1-2 years of experience here.

How We’re Different Than The Other Agencies On This List

1. We pioneered GEO specifically for B2B SaaS

While other agencies are adapting their SEO playbooks for AI search, we’ve been building and refining GEO strategies since early 2024 with exclusive focus on B2B SaaS companies.

Our specialized AI search optimization services include:

  • Citation and mention optimization to increase brand recommendations
  • Structured data and entity optimization for AI comprehension
  • Authority building strategies that influence LLM recommendations
  • AI-focused content strategies that get featured in ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity responses
  • Monitoring and tracking across major AI platforms
  • Rapid deployment strategies that deliver visibility in weeks, not 6 months

2. Proven results: 72-hour AI visibility

Most agencies talk about AI search in theory. We deliver measurable results fast.

We partnered with Churn Buster, a subscription payment recovery platform, to gain AI search visibility for their core bottom-of-funnel terms like “best dunning software” and “best payment recovery tools.”

Within 72 hours of publishing strategically structured listicle content, Churn Buster began appearing consistently in ChatGPT recommendations, moving from zero visibility to being recommended alongside established competitors:

Not only did we have a strong impact on LLM rankings, but also on traditional Google rankings as well:

By combining LLM-optimized content architecture with targeted citation building from sources AI models already trust, we achieved 62% visibility across AI search sources and helped Churn Buster become a default recommendation for high-intent buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude.

3. We only work with B2B SaaS – no one else

You know how nearly every agency out there claims they can handle any industry?

That dilution kills specialization. GEO strategies that work for e-commerce don’t work for B2B SaaS. AI models evaluate and recommend software completely differently than they do consumer products or professional services.

Rock The Rankings only works with B2B SaaS companies with product-market fit who are ready to dominate AI search for their category.

4. No junior account managers. Work 1-on-1 with our founder.

Have you ever witnessed the Agency Down Phenomenon?

You went through the sales pitch with senior leadership, everything seemed great, but once you signed up and kicked off, you were handed to a junior account manager reading from a playbook.

At Rock The Rankings, you can expect that:

  • You’ll work one-on-one with our founder from start to finish
  • We only work with a set number of clients each quarter
  • Our average employee tenure is 3.9 years
  • We invest deeply in understanding your product, competitors, and buyer journey

5. We forecast and expectation set from the get-go. No guesswork.

For most agencies, the proposal process goes like this: book an intro call, receive a generic deck, sit through another hour-long presentation, and walk away with vague promises about “building authority” and “improving visibility.”

❌ Hard pass.

Here’s how we consistently get stellar feedback from our proposal process:

  1. Listening—What are your core pain points? Where are competitors showing up that you’re not? What buyer prompts matter most to your pipeline?
  2. Granularity—We audit your current AI search presence, analyze competitor visibility patterns, and identify the exact content and citation gaps holding you back.
  3. Forecasting—We project expected visibility improvements across different timeframes and investment levels, giving you a clear ROI picture before you commit.

What’s important to consider when hiring a GEO agency

When hiring a Generative Engine Optimization agency, several critical factors should guide your decision:

1. “Do you have proven experience with AI search optimization?”

GEO is still an emerging field, and many agencies are claiming expertise without demonstrable results. Ask for specific evidence:

  • Case studies showing improved brand mentions in ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity
  • Their methodology for tracking AI search visibility across platforms
  • Specific tactics they use for citation building and entity optimization
  • Measurable results they’ve driven from AI search traffic
  • Timeline expectations—can they deliver visibility in weeks or does it take 6+ months?

2. “Are you specialized in GEO, or is it just an add-on to traditional SEO?”

There’s a significant difference between agencies that have developed dedicated GEO expertise versus those adding AI search as an afterthought to existing SEO services.

The best GEO agencies:

  • Have developed proprietary frameworks specifically for AI search
  • Understand the nuances of how different LLMs evaluate and cite sources
  • Can explain exactly how their approach differs from traditional SEO
  • Have team members dedicated to staying current with AI search evolution

3. “How do you balance traditional SEO with AI search optimization?”

AI models heavily reference top-ranking web content. An effective GEO strategy can’t ignore traditional SEO fundamentals.

Look for agencies that understand how to:

  • Build authority that influences both Google and AI models
  • Create content that ranks in traditional search AND gets cited by LLMs
  • Implement structured data that helps both search engines and AI understand content
  • Develop link profiles that support both traditional rankings and AI citations

4. “What metrics and KPIs do you track for AI search success?”

Unlike traditional SEO with established metrics, GEO measurement is still evolving. Understand how the agency defines and measures success:

  • Brand mention frequency across AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini)
  • Recommendation position (first, second, or buried in the list?)
  • Citation quality and context (are mentions positive? accurate? comprehensive?)
  • Share of voice versus competitors in AI responses
  • Traffic and conversions attributed to AI search referrals

5. “How do you stay current with AI search changes?”

AI search is evolving at breakneck speed. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google’s AI features are constantly changing how they surface and recommend content.

Ask the agency:

  • How they monitor changes across different AI platforms
  • Their process for testing and validating new GEO tactics
  • How quickly they adapt strategies as AI models evolve
  • Whether they have direct relationships with AI platform teams
  • How they distinguish signal from noise in the rapidly changing GEO landscape

6. “Do you understand my specific industry and buyer journey?”

GEO strategies that work for B2B SaaS won’t work for e-commerce. AI models evaluate and recommend products differently than services, and B2B differently than B2C.

The best agencies:

  • Have deep experience in your specific industry or vertical
  • Understand your buyer’s decision-making process
  • Know which AI platforms your target customers actually use
  • Can map AI search visibility to your specific funnel stages

7. “What is your team structure, and who will I work with?”

Given GEO’s specialized nature, team expertise matters even more than in traditional marketing:

  • Who you’ll communicate with throughout the engagement
  • Their team’s specific experience level with AI search optimization
  • Whether you’ll work with senior strategists or junior account managers
  • Communication platforms and meeting cadence
  • How involved leadership will be in your account

8. “What’s your timeline for results?”

Some agencies promise AI visibility in weeks. Others hedge with 6-12 month timelines. Understanding realistic expectations is crucial:

  • What visibility improvements you can expect in 30, 60, and 90 days
  • Which tactics deliver quick wins versus long-term authority building
  • How they’ll prioritize efforts for fastest ROI
  • What factors could accelerate or delay results in your specific situation

Ready to dominate AI search? Book a call with Rock The Rankings to discuss how we can get your brand recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and other AI platforms with proven strategies that deliver visibility in weeks, not months.
