Top 10 AEO/GEO Agencies in 2026

Buyers now ask assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity for recommendations, and the answer often contains a short list of names. Answer engine optimization, also called generative engine optimization, is the work of earning a place in that answer.

Agencies come at it from different directions. Some extend technical SEO. Some lead with content. Others lead with PR, because assistants lean on third-party sources when they decide who to mention.

Here are ten AEO and GEO agencies worth talking to this year. Descriptions are based on how each agency presents its own services, and INSIDEA, which publishes this list, is one of the ten.

How to Choose an AEO or GEO Agency

Start by finding out where you stand. Ask assistants the questions your buyers ask and note whether you are named, cited or absent. Then match the agency to the gap: content depth, technical foundations or third-party coverage.

Ask the agency:

• How do you measure whether we are named in answers, and across which assistants?
• What will you change on our site, and what off-site work is included?
• How does AEO fit with our existing SEO and content?
• What have you seen work for a company like ours, with evidence?

Be cautious of guaranteed placements. No agency controls what an assistant says.

AI Visibility Connected to Pipeline

Being named by an assistant matters when it leads to conversations. INSIDEA tracks how assistants name and cite your brand, improves the content and signals behind it, and connects the results to HubSpot so you can see what it does for pipeline. If you want to know where you stand today, we can show you.
