A field guide to the eight AEO agencies actually moving share of answer for B2B SaaS companies in 2026. Updated April 2026 with current engagement ranges, verifiable client results, and honest fit criteria.
A field guide to the eight AEO agencies (also called GEO, or generative engine optimization, agencies) actually moving share of answer for B2B SaaS companies in 2026. Updated June 2026 with current engagement ranges, verifiable client results, and honest fit criteria. AEO and GEO are the same discipline, and this guide uses the terms interchangeably.
The eight AEO agencies below are the ones we would hire, or have seen deliver, for B2B SaaS companies trying to earn citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. LoudFace ranks first because we run SEO and AEO as a single motion for Series A to Series C B2B SaaS, with a 90-day share-of-answer lift window. The rest of the list is a fair comparison for different stages and budgets. Some win on enterprise. Others are stronger on technical SEO. A couple live or die on PR-heavy third-party placements. If you want one recommendation before reading further: Series A to Series C SaaS should shortlist LoudFace and Omnius. Series D and up with a real PR budget should evaluate Siege Media, Foundation, and NoGood first.

What counts as an AEO agency for B2B SaaS?
A B2B SaaS AEO agency is one that moves Share of Answer, not one that rebrands a classic SEO practice with new copy. Most agencies calling themselves "AI SEO" or "AEO" in 2026 fall into the second group. They publish a thought-leadership post about AI search, add an FAQ section to their service page, and keep selling the same content-and-links retainer they sold in 2023. The category needs a tighter definition or it becomes meaningless.
The real ones do three things at once, and the practice falls apart if any of the three is missing. They measure Share of Answer on a defined buyer-prompt set. They run an editorial program structured around AI extraction patterns rather than keyword density. And they treat third-party placements (G2, Capterra, TrustRadius, Reddit, high-trust press) as a first-class workstream, because owned-domain citations cap near 15 percent on most B2B SaaS prompts.
Three signals separate a real AEO agency from an SEO agency in AEO cosplay:
- Weekly Share-of-Answer tracking across five engines. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. A defined prompt set of 40 to 75 buyer queries. If the dashboard still leads with keyword rank, it is SEO at an AEO price.
- Editorial structured for extraction. 40-to-60 word direct-answer blocks, question-shaped H2s, FAQPage schema. Not a content velocity number on a deck slide.
- Third-party placement workstream. Active work on G2, Capterra, TrustRadius, Reddit, and category press. Citation source diversity is built into the plan rather than left to chance.
What counts as an AEO agency in 2026?
Most agencies calling themselves "AI SEO" in 2026 rebranded a classic SEO practice with new copy. The real ones do three things at once.
They measure share of answer. Weekly tracking across five engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) on a defined prompt set of 40 to 60 buyer queries. If the dashboard still shows keyword rankings as the headline number, the practice is SEO in AEO costume.
They ship the retrofit. Direct-answer paragraphs at the top of every article, question-phrased H2s, JSON-LD schema (Article, FAQPage, Organization, BreadcrumbList, Person author), and internal links that map the content cluster. This is the boring half of the work and the half most agencies skip.
They do third-party placements. Getting clients into the listicles, review platforms, and Reddit threads that LLMs already cite is closer to PR work than content work. In our category-level audits across B2B SaaS, the majority of citations live off the brand's own domain. Agencies that only publish on your blog cap out fast on share of answer, because most of the citation surface sits on third-party domains they never touch.
The eight below clear all three bars. We cut about twenty agencies that do not.
AEO vs GEO vs LLMO: are they different?
Short answer: no. These are three labels for the same discipline, getting your brand cited inside AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the broad "earn the answer" framing. Generative engine optimization (GEO) names the generative-answer surface specifically. LLM optimization (LLMO) is the engineering-flavored version of the same idea. The work underneath is identical: measure share of answer across the engines, structure content so it extracts cleanly, and earn third-party citations on the sources those engines already trust. Any agency that pitches GEO as a separate service with a separate budget is selling you vocabulary. The eight agencies below do the work regardless of which acronym lands on the invoice.
How we evaluated these agencies
Six filters. Every agency on the list had to pass all of them.
Public client outcomes with verifiable numbers. Not a landing page about AEO. Not a single logo on a case study page. A named engagement with before-and-after numbers we could verify from public sources, Share of Answer, organic traffic, branded search, pipeline contribution.
AI citation footprint across ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. We ran each agency's name and category prompts through ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity to check whether the agency itself shows up in answers buyers are running. Agencies that don't get cited for their own category are unlikely to earn citations for clients.
Pricing transparency. Agencies that refuse a pricing range on a discovery call are almost never built for Series A-C SaaS engagement sizes. Three agencies got cut on this filter alone. The eight below all publish a real range either on the site or one email into the conversation.
Vertical specialization. Generalist agencies underperform on AEO because category-specific prompt fluency takes 6–12 months to build. The list weights agencies with named B2B SaaS engagements over agencies with eclectic client logos across nine verticals.
Honest weakness disclosure. Every agency below has a section on what they don't do well. An agency that claims they can do everything for everyone is either lying or unfocused. Both are bad signs.
Founder and operator caliber. The person walking you through the strategy on the discovery call has to have run the playbook themselves and not merely read about it. Operator-voiced agencies compound; theory-voiced agencies don't.
1. LoudFace
Based in: Dubai and the United States, with a distributed team
Best for: Series A to Series C B2B SaaS, roughly $1M ARR and up, that wants share-of-answer gains inside 90 days from a single team running SEO, AEO, content, and CRO end to end
Typical engagement: Three tiers. Solo at $5K/month, Dual at roughly $10K/month, Scale at $18K+/month. No setup fees, no minimum commitment, continuous Autopilot retainer.
Delivery model: A 7 to 10 person senior team runs every engagement end to end. No pod-per-client, no junior account managers fronting the relationship. Weekly Showcase calls instead of monthly reporting decks. We ship from week one, not after a 4 to 6 week instrumentation ramp.
What LoudFace does well. Our practice runs on a weekly share-of-answer report tracking 30 to 50 category-specific prompts across the five major engines. One senior team runs the whole stack. Measurement. Direct-answer retrofits. Schema. Content production. CRO on the marketing site. Third-party listicle placements. One point of contact for the entire motion, instead of three vendors blaming each other when the numbers do not move. The work is operator-voiced. Our writers ship content that reads like someone who has actually run the tactic rather than a content farm or an LLM trying to sound human. That distinction matters more in 2026 than any previous year because the models themselves have learned to down-weight generic content. The wedge is owning the full SEO and AEO stack as one team. Most of the other names on this list hand off either the technical work, the CRO work, or the content production to a separate vendor. We ship the rendering, the schema, the content, and the conversion work in the same sprint.
Representative client results.
- CodeOp (coding education): +49% organic traffic in 4 months on a headless Sanity + Next.js build. View case study.
- Zeiierman (trading tools): +43% organic traffic and +46% CTR in 5 months. View case study.
Honest limitation. Small team. Real capacity constraints. If you need 12 writers on day one or a 40-person content program running by next quarter, LoudFace is the wrong fit. Omnius or NoGood are built for that scale.

2. Omnius
Based in: Serbia
Best for: Mid-market B2B SaaS ($5M–$50M ARR) with a mature marketing function that wants AEO retrofit on an existing SEO motion
Typical engagement: $10K–$25K/month (confirm on discovery call)
What Omnius does well. One of the most consistent B2B SaaS SEO operators in Europe over the last five years. Moved cleanly into AEO work through 2024 and 2025. Strong programmatic SEO capability. Mature Series C+ SaaS client roster. Publishes in their own name, which earns them citation weight the private-label agencies do not get.
Honest limitation. Less specialist on pure AEO measurement than a dedicated AEO shop. You will get classic SEO with AEO layered in, rather than AEO-first. If your share of answer is already double-digit on traditional organic metrics, Omnius is a strong upgrade. If it is at zero, start with an AEO-native team.
3. Siege Media
Based in: United States
Best for: Later-stage SaaS with a real PR budget and a need for earned media plus SEO
Typical engagement: $15K–$40K/month (confirm on discovery call)
What Siege does well. Original-research content that earns third-party citations at scale. If your AEO gap is "we do not appear on any of the industry listicles LLMs cite," Siege's data-driven PR model is, in our experience, one of the fastest ways to close it. They produce the research, pitch the coverage, and build the citation pattern across the domains that compound.
Honest limitation. Premium pricing. Less dexterous on technical SEO and schema. Six-month ramp before the citation work compounds. Not the team to hire for a turnaround inside a quarter.
4. Animalz
Based in: United States, distributed
Best for: Technical SaaS companies where editorial quality is the product differentiator
Typical engagement: $12K–$25K/month (confirm on discovery call)
What Animalz does well. At their peak, Animalz set the bar for SaaS editorial quality. When the product is technical and the blog reads like it was written by someone who never opened the app, their approach closes that gap faster than most teams we have worked alongside. The content is extractable by LLMs because the underlying thinking is clear. Caveat worth flagging: Animalz went through major restructuring in 2023–2024. Confirm current team size, leadership, and AEO practice maturity on a discovery call before committing.
Best paired with. A technical SEO contractor or an in-house engineer for schema, site architecture, and crawler access, which sit outside their core editorial practice.
5. Grow and Convert
Based in: United States
Best for: Bottom-of-funnel, buyer-intent content that converts into pipeline
Typical engagement: $10K–$20K/month (confirm on discovery call)
What Grow and Convert does well. Their Pain Point SEO method maps almost directly onto AEO buying-intent prompts. If your issue is traffic that does not convert, this team produces posts engineered to close rather than rank. The pipeline attribution they publish openly is the cleanest of any agency on this list.
Honest limitation. Narrow topical coverage. Not the team for broad awareness content or category education. You will hire them for the bottom 20 prompts in your set rather than the full 60.
6. Foundation Marketing
Based in: Canada
Best for: Enterprise SaaS with long sales cycles and research-heavy buyer journeys
Typical engagement: $15K–$35K/month (confirm on discovery call)
What Foundation does well. Original research reports that get cited by trade publications, which is exactly the third-party footprint AEO needs. Ross Simmonds and the Foundation team treat distribution as seriously as content production, which is rare in B2B SaaS content agencies.
Honest limitation. Long timelines. Not optimized for "we need citations in 90 days" situations. The research approach compounds, but it takes two or three quarters to hit full stride.
Monthly Engagement Range by Agency (USD)

Typical monthly engagement ranges across the eight agencies. Ranges are starting points, confirm on discovery call.

7. Ten Speed
Based in: United Kingdom
Best for: High-growth SaaS with a founder-driven POV that needs to be made legible in public
Typical engagement: $8K–$18K/month (confirm on discovery call)
What Ten Speed does well. Strong editorial standards, fast ramp, and a real skill for turning founder expertise into publishable content without flattening the voice. If you are the founder with the ideas but no time to write them down, this pairing works well.
Best used for. Editorial-led programs where the founder's point of view is the product. Expect to co-define the share-of-answer prompt set in the first month, rather than inheriting a mature AEO measurement frame on day one.
8. NoGood
Based in: United States
Best for: VC-backed SaaS that wants growth marketing and SEO under one roof
Typical engagement: $20K–$50K/month (confirm on discovery call)
What NoGood does well. Multi-channel growth team. SEO is one lever among paid acquisition, CRO, and lifecycle. If your problem is broader than organic alone, NoGood's integrated model is more useful than a specialist AEO shop.
Best used for. Programs where AEO is one of several growth levers rather than the headline bet. If AEO is the single biggest thing you need to move this year, a specialist shop higher on this list will give you more focused execution.

How do you pick the right AEO agency?
Four questions, in order. Answer them before you take a sales call.
What is your share of answer today? If you do not know, every agency on this list will baseline it during discovery. Do not sign an engagement without the number. "We think we are doing fine on AI" is not a baseline. A specific percentage across a specific prompt set on a specific engine is. Run the baseline yourself before you take the calls, it changes which agency makes sense.
Where is your biggest gap? On-page and schema gaps resolve fastest. LoudFace, Omnius, and Ten Speed are strong here. Third-party placement gaps (no one cites you on the listicles that dominate AI Overviews) take longer and require a PR motion. Siege and Foundation fit that work. A pure editorial gap, where your content is weak but the site is sound, is Animalz's lane.
What is your stage and budget? Series A to Series B at $5K-$10K/month: Grow and Convert, Ten Speed, LoudFace Solo or Dual. Series B to Series C at $10K-$18K+/month: LoudFace Scale, Omnius, Animalz. Series C and up with a heavier PR budget: Siege, Foundation, NoGood.
What is your internal capacity? If you have a head of content in-house, LoudFace and Animalz plug in as specialist firepower on top. If you have no content function at all, you want an agency that runs the whole program end to end. LoudFace covers both modes through the Scale tier. Omnius and NoGood are alternatives at higher price points.
