TL;DR: Key Takeaway
verdict
Rock The Rankings ranks first for B2B SaaS teams that want AI search and Google run as one program, with AI-referred demos counted rather than estimated. Virayo is the strongest alternative, with its own platform tracking how ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini cite a brand. Ask every agency for a citation baseline from a live client, because many sell AI search without a tested practice behind it.

How we scored
The criteria, weighted for pipeline.
We reviewed public case studies, client rosters, pricing pages, and third-party reviews. One question outranks the rest: does the agency connect search activity to pipeline you can audit, or does it report traffic and hope you are impressed.

Rock The Rankings
Virayo
Virayo is a Boise agency that works only with B2B SaaS companies past product-market fit, scoping SEO and AI search against trials, demos, and revenue. Its Integrated Discovery Framework builds visibility for each priority topic across organic results, AI Overviews, review sites, listicles, communities, and LLMs.
What sets it apart in AI search is tooling: the Virayo AI platform tracks how ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini cite a brand and flags inaccuracies, and clients can pull that data into Claude through an MCP integration. The trade is price, from $7,500 a month on a 6-month initial term.
Scalerrs
Scalerrs is a SaaS-only SEO and AEO agency founded in 2023 by Jules Davies. It built its service around earning citations in ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini, with Reddit marketing, third-party listicles, Wikipedia, and YouTube alongside classic SEO.
The results are young but specific: Milient Software reports organic pipeline up 203% half over half after adding AI search and Reddit work, and Qwilr grew top-three keywords from about 100 to 600 over 18 months. The constraint is size, with two to nine people on Clutch.
Discovered Labs
Discovered Labs is a London agency founded in 2024 by a former Stanford AI researcher and a growth marketer. It runs SEO and AI search for Series A+ B2B SaaS companies, with a published content framework built around how large language models retrieve and cite sources, plus Reddit work and its own visibility tracker.
It publishes pricing from €5,495 a month on month-to-month terms and lists clients such as Granola, Instantly.ai, and incident.io. It reports one client's AI-referred trials growing from 550 to 2,300 in four weeks. The trade is age and size: the agency is two years old, with two to nine people on Clutch.
MADX Digital
MADX Digital is a London agency founded by Perry Steward and Toni Koraza that works with SaaS and tech brands on AI search, SEO, and digital PR. It publishes retainer tiers, so a team can see what an AI search program costs before the first call.
Its digital PR capability matters here, because the models answer from third-party coverage. The review record is consistent at 4.9 across 14 Clutch reviews. The gap is attribution: its published proof leans on rankings and traffic more than AI-referred demos.
SimpleTiger
SimpleTiger is a Sarasota agency that works exclusively with SaaS companies, listed on Clutch as founded in 2006. It now sells AI search work, including citation outreach, alongside SEO, paid search, paid social, and Webflow builds.
Its Clutch profile cites one client generating over $3 million through AI and organic search in under ten months, and a recent reviewer credits it with adding AI search tracking and a competitor prompt framework. Engagements run month to month from $4,000. The trade is focus: AI search shares the team with paid and web work, and its stated sweet spot is mid-market SaaS.
Omniscient Digital
Omniscient Digital is an Austin agency founded in 2019 by former in-house marketers from HubSpot, Shopify, People.ai, and Workato. It runs SEO, AI search, content, and digital PR for B2B software companies, with a barbell strategy that pairs deep topical content with third-party presence so models cite the client.
It has published research on more than 23,000 AI citations and runs its AI tracking through Peec AI. The trade is price and commitment: full-service retainers start around $10,000 a month, with a 6-month minimum listed on Peec AI's agency directory.
TripleDart
TripleDart is a SaaS and AI GTM agency founded in 2020, with operations in Plano and Bengaluru, that runs SEO, AI search, paid media, ABM, and RevOps as one team. It built its own tool, Slate, to track AI visibility and report on prompts.
An AI customer support platform reports a number-two average AI position and a 22% brand-mention rate within six months. The flip side is focus: AI search is one channel among many, and Clutch lists SEO as a quarter of the business.
Omnius
Omnius is a London agency, with an office in Dubai, that specializes in SEO and AI search for SaaS, fintech, and AI companies. It backs Atomic, software for tracking AI search visibility and automating SEO tasks, and pairs that tooling with strategy and content.
Its client list includes Anna Money, TextCortex, Zencoder, and Global App Testing. The gaps are third-party proof and pricing: there are no verified Clutch reviews, and every engagement is quoted on request.
iPullRank
iPullRank is a New York agency founded by Mike King, named Search Engine Land's AI Search Marketer of the Year in 2025. Its Relevance Engineering framework applies information retrieval, embeddings, and content strategy to how brands are retrieved and cited in AI answers.
No agency here goes deeper on the technical side of AI search, and its clients include American Express, SAP, and HSBC. For most B2B SaaS teams the problem is fit: Clutch lists a $50,000 minimum, and the work is built for enterprise sites rather than SaaS pipeline.
First Page Sage
First Page Sage is a San Francisco Bay Area agency founded in 2009 by Evan Bailyn that builds long-form thought-leadership content for B2B companies and now sells answer engine optimization on top of it.
Its strength is content that positions a company as the authority models quote. The concerns are verification and commitment: independent audits report no verified Clutch reviews, and third parties report 12 to 24-month commitments from about $10,000.

FAQs
Common questions about hiring an agency
If yours is not here, bring it to the call. Same unpolished answer either way.
What is the best AI search agency for B2B SaaS?
+For B2B SaaS teams that want AI search tied to demos, we would argue for Rock The Rankings, and the criteria are published so you can check the reasoning. Virayo is the strongest alternative, with its own AI visibility platform. Scalerrs leads on Reddit and community work, and Discovered Labs is the dedicated AI search pick for Series A+ SaaS.
Is AI search optimization different from SEO?
+It overlaps heavily. The pages that rank in Google are often the pages AI assistants cite. The difference is off-site work: models answer from listicles, review sites, and roundups, so an AI search program has to earn mentions on those sources as well as improve your own pages.
How do you measure AI search results?
+Two ways. Visibility: how often you are named across a fixed set of buying prompts in each engine, re-run on a schedule. Pipeline: how many demos AI search produced, which needs more than the CRM's referrer data because assistants strip it.
How much does an AI search agency cost?
+Across these eleven, entry points run from SimpleTiger at $4,000 a month to iPullRank's $50,000 Clutch minimum. Rock The Rankings starts at $4,050 on 12-month terms, and Discovered Labs and MADX Digital publish pricing from about $5,500.
How fast does AI search visibility move?
+Faster than Google rankings. Churn Buster went from 0% to 62% visibility on tracked prompts in 72 hours, and one SaaS client saw AI search grow from 0% of demos to 10% in month one and 40% by month six. Pipeline impact takes longer to prove than visibility.
How is this list scored, and did you rank yourself first?
+Seven weighted criteria, fixed before scoring and re-scored quarterly, with a tested AI search practice weighted highest. Yes, we ranked ourselves first, without a perfect score on any criterion. Every entry carries the same fields and a tradeoff line, ours included.
