The best AI SEO, GEO and AEO agencies in 2026. Compared on price, contract and the work.
Twelve agencies buyers come across most often, compared on the same published facts: what it costs to start, how long you commit, what the AI search work covers and how you begin.
A note before the list. Strategi is on this list. Every agency, ourselves included, is judged on the same published facts, and each entry says who it suits best. The list is ordered by entry price, lowest first, and our plans start lowest, so we come first.
Updated . Prices and terms from each agency's own site or its Clutch profile, linked in each entry.
How did we compare them?
- Published price. What it costs to start, from the agency's own site. Where an agency publishes nothing, we give its Clutch minimum and say so.
- Contract. The minimum term, and how easy it is to leave.
- What the work covers. Content, technical fixes, off-site work such as PR and reviews, and how AI answers are tracked.
- How you start. Self-serve, a proposal or a sales call, and what happens in the first month where the agency says.
- Who made the list. We read 25 best-agency lists from 21 publishers and counted how often each agency is named. 19 of the 21 rank themselves or an affiliate first, so the count decided who to include, never the order. We added Thrive, which none of the lists names, because it is the only other agency we found with a published done-for-you price under $1,000.

How do you choose an AI SEO agency?
Ask every agency on your shortlist these questions, us included.
- 01What does it cost, and for how long? Get the monthly price and the minimum term in writing. Six- and twelve-month commitments are common.
- 02Which questions and engines will you track? Ask for the buyer questions, the engines and how often each is checked. A score without the real answers behind it is hard to trust.
- 03Who writes, and who checks? Ask who drafts each page, who reviews it and who signs off the facts.
- 04What happens off my site? AI answers lean on reviews, listings, best-of lists and publications. Ask what is included and what costs extra.
- 05How will I know it worked? Ask to see results in your own Search Console and analytics, including enquiries from AI visitors.
- 06When does work start? Ask what ships in the first month, and when.
