Direct answer

SEO and AI search agencies cover technical SEO, content programs, link acquisition, and the emerging discipline of optimizing for LLM citation in tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. The strongest partners combine traditional organic search expertise with answer-engine optimization. Structured data, citation-ready content, and tracking of brand mentions across AI surfaces. Evaluate agencies on technical audit depth, content production capacity, demonstrated organic traffic and pipeline outcomes, and explicit methodology for LLM visibility. Buyers should be wary of partners promising rankings without addressing site architecture, internal linking, and entity-based content strategy. Reporting should include organic sessions, conversions, and citation share across AI search surfaces.

Frequently asked

Buyer questions about seo & ai search agencies

What is AI search optimization or GEO?
AI search optimization, also called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) or Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), is the practice of structuring content so it gets cited by LLM-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. It combines technical SEO, structured data, and citation-ready content.
How does SEO differ from AI search optimization?
Traditional SEO optimizes for blue-link rankings in Google. AI search optimization targets being cited as a source in LLM-generated answers. The disciplines overlap on technical foundations and entity-based content, but AI search rewards direct answers, structured data, source attribution, and brand mention frequency across the open web.
How much do SEO agencies cost?
Boutique SEO retainers run $3,000–$10,000 monthly. Mid-market agencies covering technical SEO, content, and link acquisition typically charge $10,000–$30,000 monthly. Enterprise SEO and AI-search programs with dedicated strategists and content teams start at $30,000+ monthly with 6-month minimums.
How do I evaluate an SEO or AI search agency?
Review their technical audit depth, content production capacity, and demonstrated organic traffic and pipeline outcomes. For AI search specifically, ask how they track citation share across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, and what their methodology is for structured data and entity-based content.
