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
Nine Peaks Media
Nine Peaks Media is a Toronto B2B SEO agency founded in 2009 by Mike Khorev that works with SaaS, software, IT, and cybersecurity companies, with Deepwatch among its named clients and MQL-based cases in security and brand protection. Its 22 Clutch reviews all score 5.0.
It ranks second on verified record and security fit, and it suits a security team that already reports SEO in MQLs.
GrowPad
GrowPad is an SEO and GEO agency based in Dnipro, Ukraine, and Alicante, Spain, that positions on security SaaS, B2B tech, and IT services and runs SEO, GEO, LLMO, and AEO together. Its Clutch record is 5.0 across 39 reviews, most for engagements under $10,000, and it publishes pricing from $3,000 a month.
It ranks third on price and record. It suits a smaller security vendor that wants one vendor for Google and the AI engines.
Siege Media
Siege Media, founded in Austin in 2012 by Ross Hudgens, calls itself a full-service GEO agency and runs 50 to 249 people across five US offices, with enterprise security and infrastructure work in its portfolio. Its research reports and PR produce the authoritative material the engines cite for security questions.
It ranks fourth on record and capacity, losing points on pricing transparency and pipeline reporting, and it is the enterprise content choice.
Powered by Search
Powered by Search has run B2B SaaS demand generation from Toronto since 2009, and cybersecurity is its strongest vertical: SentinelOne, Varonis, Fortra, and ThreatX are all named clients. It sells SEO and LLM visibility, paid media, and RevOps as three published-tier levers delivered by senior-only pods, and reports in sales-qualified opportunities and ARR.
It ranks fifth here despite the strongest security fit and pipeline accountability, because the empty Clutch record costs it the verified-reviews criterion.
Directive
Directive, founded in 2013 by Garrett Mehrguth, runs three divisions across six offices with more than 130 people, and its Performance division has worked with SentinelOne on an integrated search program. It sells paid media, SEO and content, creative, programmatic, and revenue operations under its Customer Generation methodology, and its Clutch record is 4.8 across 56 reviews.
It ranks sixth on scope and record, and it suits an enterprise security program that has outgrown a boutique.
Amplifyed
Amplifyed is a Carlsbad, California boutique founded in 2022 by Scott Johnson that works exclusively with cybersecurity companies on SEO and GEO. Its roster includes Cyware and OffSec, and its published approach centers on the commercial searches security buyers run during vendor evaluation, with technical SEO, content, and AI search visibility in one program.
It ranks seventh on verified record and pricing transparency while scoring highest on security fit. A buyer who wants a vendor that speaks only security should start here and ask for pipeline numbers on the first call.
First Page Sage
First Page Sage is a Berkeley SEO agency founded in 2009 that runs thought-leadership SEO for enterprise vendors, with cybersecurity one of its longer-standing verticals and CISO buyer journeys the organizing idea. It has a team of 50 to 249 and a $10,000 minimum, with 12 to 24 month terms reported.
It ranks last here on verified record, terms, and pipeline reporting, not on category experience.

FAQs
Common questions about hiring an agency
If yours is not here, bring it to the call. Same unpolished answer either way.
What does a cybersecurity SEO and GEO agency do?
+It works to make a security vendor the one Google ranks and AI assistants name when a buyer evaluates a category: which platform fits an environment, which tool integrates with a given SIEM or identity provider, how to achieve a security outcome without a common trade-off. GEO is the part of the work aimed at the AI engines; SEO is the part aimed at Google; the best programs run both from one plan because the same technical pages and third-party sources drive both.
Why is cybersecurity harder than other B2B categories for SEO and GEO?
+Because the buyer is a practitioner who verifies claims and distrusts marketing, and because the engines default to vendors with analyst coverage, review-site depth, and documentation that answers the technical question. A challenger wins by publishing pages a security engineer will accept and by earning presence on the sources the engines already trust.
How much do cybersecurity SEO and GEO agencies cost?
+On this page, GrowPad publishes pricing from $3,000 a month, Rock The Rankings from $5,050, Nine Peaks Media is reported at $3,500 to $10,000 with a $5,000 minimum, Powered by Search publishes SEO and LLM visibility from $9,000, First Page Sage lists a $10,000 minimum, Amplifyed is reported at $2,000 to $5,500, and Directive and Siege Media quote per client.
How long does cybersecurity SEO and GEO take to show results?
+Visibility on individual prompts can move within weeks once the right pages and sources are in place. Ranking movement typically shows within 90 days and pipeline contribution within six months, which is why we forecast in scenarios before the agreement rather than promising a month. Technical review adds time to every page in this category.
Should a security vendor hire a cybersecurity-only agency or a B2B SaaS specialist?
+A cybersecurity-only agency knows the category's vocabulary and sources; a B2B SaaS specialist brings the pipeline measurement and the forecast discipline from hundreds of engagements across categories. Amplifyed is the cybersecurity-only option on this page; we and several others are SaaS specialists with security work. Decide which gap matters more to you and ask both kinds for a named result.
How is this list scored, and did you rank yourself first?
+We did. Rock The Rankings publishes this list and ranks itself, and every agency is scored on the same seven weighted criteria shown above, with pipeline accountability carrying the most weight and a fit criterion for cybersecurity SEO and GEO work specifically. We score 7.0 on that fit criterion because our public case studies are not yet in security. Our routing list points to a competitor where one fits a security team better.
