GEO Agency That Gets You Named In AI Answers
A GEO agency does generative engine optimization. It earns your brand mentions in the sources AI assistants read, so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude name you when buyers ask. We run it done for you, from $1,997 a month.
What A GEO Agency Does
It isn’t a reporting dashboard and it isn’t on-page SEO with a new name. The work is earning the coverage that assistants cite, then measuring whether it moved your share of the answer.
Audit
We run your real category prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, and map where you surface today and where competitors beat you to the citation.
Earn
We pitch ideas real editors want to publish, in the publications your category trusts. Every placement is earned, never bought, and never guaranteed in advance.
Track
Each month you’ll see your citation share against named competitors, broken out by assistant, on a fixed set of prompts so the trend stays comparable.
GEO Is Not SEO With A New Label
SEO tries to rank your pages in a list of links. GEO tries to get your brand named inside a single generated answer.
An assistant answering “who should I hire” leans on what other publications say about you, not only on your own site. So the lever is third-party coverage, which is why this is an editorial programme and not a content-and-keywords one.
The two disciplines overlap, and we’ve covered how in our guide to SEO vs GEO. AEO, answer engine optimization, is the same work under another name, so we treat the two as one.
The Coverage We Earn For You
Earned editorial placements
Coverage in the publications assistants read, pitched to real editors. Each one is attributable and traceable, so you can see exactly what went live.
Category roundups and comparisons
Placements in the roundup and comparison pieces models lean on when a buyer asks which option to choose in your category.
Specialist publications
Our network spans 255 publications in four tiers, matched to your category rather than to broad business press. See the full citation network.
Authority where it counts
For category leaders, coverage concentrates in the highest-authority publications, the sources assistants weight for category-defining answers.
What The Programme Delivers Every Month
A named senior strategist
One owner who runs your programme end to end and replies within one business day.
Attributable placements only
Confirmed, traceable coverage. No impressions, no filler, and every confirmed placement reported.
Monthly citation tracking
Your citation share across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, measured against named competitors.
A fixed prompt set
The same category prompts every month, so a change in the numbers means a change in the answers.
A 60-day competitor lockout
We won’t take a direct competitor in your category for the quarter.
Clear terms
A short minimum, then 30-day cancellation. The terms are published, and they aren’t negotiated at the end.
Your First 90 Days
A done-for-you programme on an honest timeline. We don’t promise overnight results, and we don’t promise a ranking.
Week 1: Audit and baseline
We run your real category prompts across all four assistants, record where you surface today, and name the competitors winning the citations you want.
Onboarding and pitching
Onboarding takes 14, 21 or 30 days depending on the tier, and pitching starts inside it rather than after it.
Days 14 to 30: First placements
Confirmed, attributable coverage starts going live, with the exact day set by your tier.
Day 90: Category share
Tracking shows your citation share against named competitors for the prompts your buyers use. It’s the first checkpoint, not the finish line.

What is a GEO agency?
A GEO agency does generative engine optimization, working to get your brand named inside the answers AI assistants give. The main method is earning editorial coverage in the sources those assistants read. BrandMentions runs it as a done-for-you programme with monthly citation tracking.
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO aims to rank your own pages in a results list. GEO aims to get your brand mentioned inside a generated answer, where the assistant leans on third-party sources more than on your own site. The two overlap, but good rankings don’t guarantee a mention, as our comparison of SEO vs GEO explains.
What does a GEO agency do each month?
It audits where assistants cite you and your competitors. It pitches editors for placements in the publications that carry weight for your category, and it tracks your citation share across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude. Each programme includes a named senior strategist and reports every confirmed placement.
How much does a GEO agency cost?
Our programmes are priced openly. Startup is $1,997 a month for 6 to 12 placements, and Flagship is $4,997 a month for 10 to 30. Enterprise is custom, for 50 or more premium placements, and price follows placement volume and publication tier.
How long until the first placements?
First placements land 14 to 30 days in, depending on the tier. Onboarding takes 14 days on Startup, 21 on Flagship and 30 on Enterprise, and pitching starts during onboarding, not after it.
Do you guarantee citations or rankings?
No. No reputable editorial programme can guarantee specific coverage or a specific answer. We commit to a placement range per tier, report every confirmed placement, and track your citation share so you can see the movement for yourself.
Which AI assistants do you work on?
We track ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude every month. They source their answers differently, so the report breaks your citation share out by assistant.
What are the contract terms?
Startup has a 3-month minimum and Flagship a 12-month engagement. After the minimum, every engagement moves to 30-day cancellation. A 60-day competitor lockout keeps a direct rival out of your category for the quarter.
