Why hire a GEO agency?

In February 2026, ChatGPT passed 900 million weekly active users, up from 800 million in October 2025 (source: TechCrunch). Your customers no longer search; they ask. And if AI doesn’t mention your company, it mentions your competitor.

What you gain by showing up in AI answers:

  • 🎯 More qualified leads: visitors coming from AI convert 31% better (source: Adobe). They arrive with a mature project, not just a query.
  • 🏆 A head start: AI engines only cite a handful of reference sources. Getting in now builds an asset your competitors will struggle to dislodge.
  • 🤖 The channel where your buyers are: 94% of B2B buyers already use AI in their buying journey (source: 6sense).
  • ⚡ Ready-to-use expertise: making content citable and monitoring citations takes hundreds of hours of testing that an agency has already done for you.
  • 📈 A complement to your SEO: GEO has its own techniques, but it also relies on solid SEO foundations. Working on both multiplies your visibility on Google and in AI engines.

How to choose the best GEO agency?

Because GEO is a new discipline, the number of truly operational agencies is still limited, and their maturity varies widely.

Here are the key points to check before signing:

1

Is the agency itself cited by AI engines?

This is the most revealing test. Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini for the best GEO agencies in the US or UK: an agency that masters its craft should show up on its own target queries. If it is invisible where it claims to make you visible, the signal is clear.

2

Does GEO have its own methods (beyond SEO)?

A good GEO agency masters specific techniques: LLM citation monitoring, AI Share of Voice, citability optimization, structured data for generative engines. SEO remains a complementary foundation, but an agency simply rebranding its SEO as "GEO" doesn't have the right tools. Check that it has GEO-specific methods and a dedicated dashboard.

3

Can it prove its results?

Ask for measured case studies, with dated screenshots of AI citations rather than promises. GEO is measurable: brand citation rate, position among cited sources, referral traffic from LLMs.

4

Does it master both technical and editorial work?

GEO plays out on three levels: technical (Schema.org structured data, semantic architecture, llms.txt), editorial (citable content, Q&A formats, verifiable sources) and authority (online reputation, branding, presence on Reddit and the forums AI engines cite heavily). The best agencies cover all three.

5

Does it offer clear monitoring?

A serious agency spells out its deliverables, timelines and KPIs: which prompts are tracked, how often AI visibility is measured, which dashboard is provided. Avoid all-inclusive offers with no detail.

GEO, AEO, SEO: what's the difference?

In 2026, several acronyms coexist around AI visibility. They don’t compete, they complement each other.

Here’s how to tell them apart:

⮕ SEO (Search Engine Optimization) aims to rank your pages in traditional search engines like Google. The goal: appear at the top of a list of links to drive traffic.

⮕ GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) aims to get your brand cited directly in answers generated by conversational AI (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude). Users no longer see a list of links, they read a summary: the challenge is to be one of the sources selected.

⮕ AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) targets direct answers: featured snippets, FAQs, AI Overviews. The goal is to structure your content so it answers a question directly, whether on Google or in an AI assistant. In the US, many agencies use AEO and GEO interchangeably.

💡 Good to know: you will also come across AIO (AI Optimization) and LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization), which in practice describe the same thing as GEO. The vocabulary isn’t settled yet, a sign of a young discipline.

Criterion SEO AEO GEO
Goal Rank pages in search results Provide the direct answer to a question Be cited as a source in AI answers
Result format Ranked list of links Featured snippet, FAQ, AI Overview Synthesized, contextual answer
Platforms Google, Bing Google (snippets, AI Overviews), AI assistants ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude
Main lever Keyword optimization Q&A structure Understanding conversational intent
Content optimization Tags, meta, internal linking FAQ, structured data, Q&A format Structured data, citable content, entities
Measurement Rankings, traffic, CTR Snippet presence, extraction rate Citations, mentions, AI share of voice, LLM traffic
Authority Backlinks, Domain Rating Clarity and reliability of content Stronger E-E-A-T, mentions and trusted sources

In practice, these disciplines complement each other: SEO lays the foundations; GEO uses its own techniques to turn that presence into AI citations. GEO is not “improved SEO”: it is a discipline in its own right, with its own measurement tools (AI Share of Voice), levers (citability, entities, structured data), and tracking methods.

🚀 If SEO is your first priority, or if you want to strengthen your search foundations before moving into GEO, take a look at our SEO agency services.

How much does a GEO agency cost in 2026?

The budget for a GEO agency depends on several factors:

  • 🏗️ The state of your digital presence (authority, existing content)
  • 📅 The age of your website and its maturity in the eyes of search engines
  • ⚔️ How competitive your market is and how many AI engines you target
  • ⏱️ Your level of urgency: the faster you want results, the more actions need to be deployed

Put simply: the higher the budget, the more actions are deployed, and the faster results arrive. Since the market is still young, pricing varies significantly from one provider to another.

Here are the main types of engagement:

Type of engagement What's included
One-off GEO audit Analysis of your AI visibility, competitive mapping, prioritized action plan
Monthly retainer Content optimization (GEO + SEO), ongoing technical monitoring, community presence strategy, online reputation management, tracking dashboard

The best move: ask for a custom quote. At Keyweo, we set your budget based on your actual goals after a free initial call.

⚠️ Watch out: a good GEO engagement is a medium-term investment. Visibility builds up progressively, and regular follow-up helps consolidate it as AI algorithms keep evolving.

How long does it take to see GEO results?

GEO is long-term work, not a magic trick. Here’s what to expect:

  • 🌱 First signals: occasional citations appear within the first few months.
  • 🚀 Established visibility: significant, recurring presence is built over time.

There is no universal timeline: it all depends on your budget, your industry and your starting point. A brand that already ranks well, with mentions in recognized sources and established authority, progresses much faster than one starting from scratch.

⚠️ Beware of “guaranteed in a few days” promises: serious GEO relies on a demanding methodology, not shortcuts.

What does a GEO engagement look like?

Every agency has its own method, but a serious GEO engagement usually follows the same main steps. Here’s how a typical collaboration unfolds, from the scoping phase to monthly follow-up.

The Keyweo methodology:

set-up

Strategy foundations

  • AI visibility audit on your target queries in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, plus competitive mapping.
  • Definition of the strategic pages to create or optimize to become a citable source.
  • Clear, prioritized technical roadmap (Schema.org structured data, citability, indexing).
  • GEO dashboard to track your citations and AI share of voice from day one.
follow-up

Month-by-month actions

  • Creation of citable content structured to be picked up in AI answers.
  • Authority building (mentions, third-party sources, E-E-A-T signals) to make your brand credible to LLMs.
  • Regular GEO consulting to adjust the strategy based on the citations earned, deliver reporting and keep up with algorithm changes.
authority

Authority and online reputation

  • Community presence strategy (Reddit & forums).
  • Ongoing technical monitoring of the site and its indexing.
  • Outreach to AI sources for mentions & links.
  • Online reputation management (Trustpilot & Google reviews).

Services may vary depending on your needs, your goals and the terms agreed in the contract. What matters most is having a clear roadmap and a dedicated point of contact who supports you over time, across your different markets and languages.

FAQ

A GEO agency (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes a brand's visibility in the answers produced by generative AI such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini. Unlike SEO, which targets a ranking of links, GEO aims to make your brand a cited and recommended source directly within the generated answer.

No: they are two complementary disciplines. SEO optimizes your presence on Google, while GEO uses its own techniques to get you cited by AI engines (citability, structured data, citation monitoring, brand authority). One doesn't replace the other, but a brand working on both maximizes its visibility wherever its prospects search.

The budget depends on your industry, the competition, the state of your digital presence and your goals. A one-off audit and a monthly retainer don't require the same investment. Rather than relying on a standard rate card, the best option is to ask for a custom quote: just be wary of very low offers, where you end up paying for reporting rather than execution.

The first step, open to anyone, is to ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude directly the questions your prospects would ask. Note whether your brand appears, in what context and next to which competitors. To go further, we offer a free GEO audit that gives you a first idea of your AI visibility rate, covering a broad set of queries and calculating a score you can compare over time.Pour aller plus loin, nous proposons un audit GEO gratuit qui vous donne une première idée de votre taux de visibilité dans les IA, en couvrant un large corpus de requêtes et en calculant un score comparable dans le temps.

Yes. GEO applies to every industry: it's the strategy and resources that adapt to your business. A consulting firm, a SaaS company, an online retailer or a manufacturer won't be cited on the same types of queries or with the same content, but each one has a place to claim in AI answers. The key is to identify the questions your prospects ask and build the citability that fits your market.

No, and that's one of its specificities. LLMs give much less weight to traditional signals (backlink volume, domain age) than classic SEO. An SMB with a well-structured website, expert content and a consistent digital footprint can appear in AI answers ahead of much bigger competitors.

Not necessarily. What matters is that the agency understands your market and your language: ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini don't answer the same way depending on the language and the country of the user. A US or UK brand targeting only its home market can work with a local agency, while a brand expanding into several countries will benefit from a partner able to track and optimize its visibility market by market.
