Quick summary
This review covers seven leading GEO specialists, including Embarque, First Page Sage, Quoleady, and Intero Digital. These agencies help brands appear in ChatGPT responses, Google's AI Overviews, and other generative AI platforms that are reshaping how people find information.
Tired of being invisible when AI tools answer questions about your industry?
Here's the plot twist nobody saw coming: As of early 2025, 40% of Google results show AI-generated overviews. Each one pulls from five sources on average. Your customers are getting answers without ever visiting websites.
Generative engine optimization (GEO) is a cutting-edge marketing service that helps companies get recommended by ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and other generative AI chatbots.
In this Embarque article, we've researched the agencies that actually understand how to make AI work for your brand instead of against it.
But first...
Why listen to us?
At Embarque, we've been tracking the AI revolution since day one, helping businesses such as Mentorcruise and Instatus adapt to the change. Our experience helping businesses achieve remarkable growth gives us the insight to identify agencies that deliver real GEO results versus those just repackaging old SEO tactics with trendy buzzwords.
What is a generative engine optimization agency?
A generative engine optimization (GEO) agency specializes in getting brands featured in AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and other large language models. GEO positions your brand to appear in AI-generated results when users search for queries related to your products, services or areas of expertise.
Why hire a generative engine optimization agency?
You capture attention where your customers actually get answers now
Traditional search is becoming a ghost town. People ask ChatGPT for recommendations instead of googling "best CRM software." They query Perplexity for industry insights rather than clicking through blog posts. GEO agencies understand how to position your brand so AI tools naturally mention you when discussing your industry, products, or solutions.
You build authority in the new information ecosystem
AI systems don't just randomly pick sources; they favor content with clear expertise, proper structure, and authoritative signals. Professional GEO agencies know how to create and optimize content that AI models recognize as trustworthy, comprehensive, and worth citing when generating responses. For example, our AI writing analyzer helps you evaluate and improve written content, which can help your GEO process.
You future-proof your brand against the AI takeover
GEO is less about rankings and more about mentions. With the right GEO strategy, you're not dependent on users clicking links or visiting websites. Instead, your brand becomes part of the conversation wherever AI-generated answers appear. At Embarque, we help businesses build this kind of sustainable AI visibility that grows stronger as more people rely on generative AI for information.

How to choose the right generative engine optimization agency
Look for agencies with actual AI results, not just promises
The GEO space is full of agencies rebranding old SEO tactics with AI buzzwords. Ask: Can you show examples of clients you've helped appear in LLM answers or AI Overviews? Demand proof: screenshots of ChatGPT citing their clients, examples in Google's AI Overviews, or Perplexity mentions. At Embarque, we focus on measurable AI visibility that translates into business results.
Understand the difference between SEO and GEO strategy
SEO strategy is mostly about keywords and ranking in the SERPs. On the other hand, GEO strategy revolves around creating content with the aim of getting your brand featured in AI answers. Choose agencies that understand this fundamental difference and can explain how they structure content for AI consumption versus traditional search ranking.
Evaluate their technical understanding of AI systems
Not all AI platforms work the same way. What works for ChatGPT might not work for Claude or Perplexity. The right agency should understand how different AI models consume and interpret information, including entity recognition, citation preferences, and information hierarchy.
Consider your industry and business model fit
If you're running a SaaS company and want your brand to pop up in ChatGPT, Gemini, or those new AI Overviews on Google, choose agencies that focus specifically on B2B SaaS rather than generalist approaches. Different industries require different GEO strategies based on how their customers use AI tools.
Assess their ability to measure and track results
GEO success isn't just about vanity mentions but about business impact. Look for agencies that can track AI-generated traffic, measure conversion rates from AI referrals, and demonstrate ROI from AI visibility improvements.
How much does it cost to hire a generative engine optimization agency?
GEO services typically range from $3,000 to $15,000+ per month, depending on your business size, competition level, and the comprehensiveness of the strategy. The investment reflects the specialized knowledge required for AI optimization and the high value of appearing in AI-generated responses.
At Embarque, our GEO pricing focuses on results rather than just mentions. We offer AI optimization services starting at $1,499/month, with comprehensive strategies that ensure AI visibility translates into measurable business growth.
