TL;DR: Key Takeaway
verdict
Rock The Rankings ranks first for B2B SaaS teams that need AI recommendations tied to pipeline rather than reported as mentions. First Page Sage is the strongest genuine alternative with a dedicated AI search practice, The SEO Works is the UK pick at $3,000 a month, and Powered By Search is SaaS-only but wants a full year up front. Read this list closely, because six of the thirteen say in their own write-up that GEO is adapted SEO rather than a practice.

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 GEO agency?
+For B2B SaaS wanting AI recommendations tied to pipeline we would argue for us, and we published the criteria so you can check the reasoning. First Page Sage is the strongest alternative with a dedicated practice, The SEO Works in the UK, Powered By Search if you are SaaS-only and can commit to a year.
What is GEO, and how is it different from SEO?
+GEO is getting your brand named and cited when a buyer asks an assistant about your category. It overlaps with SEO because models draw on high-ranking content, but the work is different: citation share rather than rank, third-party sources rather than only your own pages, and prompts rather than keywords.
How much does GEO cost?
+This list runs from $3,000 a month at The SEO Works to $40,000 at Codeless, with several around $10,000 to $15,000. Our pricing is public and starts at $4,050. Note that the highest price here belongs to an agency the write-up does not describe as a GEO specialist.
How fast can AI visibility move?
+Faster than SEO, because you are competing for citation share rather than rank. Churn Buster began appearing in ChatGPT recommendations within 72 hours of publishing structured listicle content, reaching 62% visibility across AI sources. That is unusual and it did not happen without the citation work behind it.
Should I hire a GEO specialist or my existing SEO agency?
+Ask your current agency the six questions above first. If they can produce a citation baseline and name the third-party sources models quote in your category, keep them. If AI search appeared on their site last quarter, you are funding their learning curve.
How is this list scored, and did you rank yourself first?
+Seven weighted criteria, fixed before scoring and re-scored quarterly. Yes, we ranked ourselves first. Every entry carries the same fields, the same criteria, and a tradeoff line, including ours, and where a figure is not public we say so rather than filling the gap.
