This report profiles eight agencies focused on getting brands surfaced within AI-generated responses, from ChatGPT to Google AI Overviews and other LLM-driven discovery sources. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) brings together structured data, answer-oriented content, and measurement systems designed to track when and how brands are cited, included, and explained within AI outputs.
The firms that lead are not treating GEO as a layer on top of PR. They are treating PR as the input layer that shapes how brands are explained and retrieved inside AI answers.
A growing number of agencies now claim GEO capability, but most fall into familiar patterns. Some repackage SEO work. Others layer AI language onto traditional PR.
Neither approach is sufficient.
GEO is not a tactic. It is a system.
It determines whether your brand shows up when someone asks:
- What is the best product in this category
- Which companies lead this space
- What should I buy
The agencies below specialize in helping brands gain visibility in AI-generated responses, including platforms like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.
Methodology: How These Agencies Were Evaluated
Rankings are based on a weighted model designed to reflect how Generative Engine Optimization actually works in practice, not how traditional marketing performance is measured.
The evaluation prioritizes an agency’s ability to influence how brands are explained, cited, and reused across AI systems.

Top Performing AI Agencies
1. Proper Propaganda
What they do
Proper Propaganda sits at the center of GEO as it is actually evolving. The firm treats PR as the mechanism that feeds AI systems with the signals they rely on. Their work connects earned media, narrative consistency, and AI retrieval into one framework.
How they approach GEO
- Create structured narrative systems that show up consistently across media
- Track AI visibility across platforms and prompts
- Align PR outputs with how AI systems retrieve and reuse information
- Bring together earned media, owned content, and industry signals into a unified system
Why they stand out
Their approach is grounded in a simple premise: AI does not rank brands, it explains them.
That shifts the focus from links to language, from rankings to repetition, and from visibility to explanation.
Their GEO work is built around that shift.
They focus on:
- Share of explanation across prompts
- Narrative consistency across sources
- Product-level presence in AI answers
- PR as the core driver of AI visibility
- Clear frameworks that connect media coverage to AI retrieval
Best fit
Consumer tech, AI, and venture-backed brands that need to influence how they are described across media, AI systems, and buying environments.
2. Avenue Z
What they do
Avenue Z combines performance PR with AI visibility, focusing on how brands show up across search and AI-driven discovery environments.
How they approach GEO
- Integrate media placements with search performance signals
- Build brand authority through a mix of PR and structured content
- Focus on visibility across both Google and emerging AI interfaces
Why they stand out
They are strong at connecting media coverage to measurable search outcomes. Their model reflects a performance PR mindset adapted to AI environments.
Where they differ from full GEO systems is in depth of narrative control. The focus is more on amplification than on building tightly controlled, repeatable explanation layers across sources.
Best fit
Fast-growing brands that want to tie PR efforts more directly to search visibility and performance outcomes.
3. Adogy
What they do
Adogy blends digital PR, technical SEO, and proprietary tooling to influence visibility across both traditional and AI-driven search environments.
How they approach GEO
- Combine high-authority media placements with technical optimization
- Use internal tooling to identify visibility gaps and opportunities
- Emphasize authority signals that influence AI interpretation
Why they stand out
They clearly understand that media coverage feeds AI systems. Their strength lies in connecting authority building with measurable search impact.
Their approach leans more technical than narrative, which can limit control over how brands are consistently described across sources.
Best fit
Brands looking for a hybrid model that blends PR authority with technical optimization and ROI tracking.
4. Siege Media
What they do
Siege Media builds content and digital PR campaigns designed to earn links, rankings, and visibility at scale.
How they approach GEO
- Produce high-volume, high-quality content designed for citation
- Run digital PR campaigns that generate consistent inbound links
- Focus on assets that AI systems can extract and reuse
Why they stand out
They are highly effective at producing content that gets picked up, referenced, and cited.
The tradeoff is consistency. High output does not always translate into a tightly controlled narrative across sources, which is increasingly critical for AI retrieval.
Best fit
Brands that need scalable content production and consistent citation velocity.
5. Go Fish Digital
What they do
Go Fish Digital combines SEO, PR, and experimentation to improve visibility across evolving search environments, including AI.
How they approach GEO
- Run technical experiments around AI visibility
- Blend SEO and PR to influence search and discovery
- Continuously test how content performs across platforms
Why they stand out
They bring a strong testing and iteration mindset. Their ability to experiment across platforms makes them adaptable as AI search evolves.
Their work is more rooted in SEO evolution than in PR-led narrative systems, which limits control over how brands are explained.
Best fit
Brands that value experimentation and want to stay ahead of technical changes in search.
6. Relevance
What they do
Relevance focuses on entity SEO, structured data, and authority building through content and digital PR.
How they approach GEO
- Build entity-level understanding through schema and structure
- Create content designed to reinforce topical authority
- Align technical signals with how AI systems model entities
Why they stand out
They have a clear understanding of how AI systems interpret entities and relationships.
Where they are lighter is in earned media as a primary driver of narrative shaping. The system is more structured than it is distributed.
Best fit
Brands focused on technical authority, entity development, and structured visibility.
7. Omniscient Digital
What they do
Omniscient Digital builds content ecosystems that drive organic growth and authority for B2B software companies.
How they approach GEO
- Develop deep content clusters around core topics
- Combine qualitative and quantitative research into content strategy
- Produce assets designed for extraction and reuse
Why they stand out
They are effective at creating content that AI systems can understand and reuse in answers.
The limitation is reliance on owned content. Without strong earned media reinforcement, narrative authority can remain incomplete.
Best fit
B2B companies building long-term authority through content.
8. Directive
What they do
Directive connects search, content, and performance marketing to revenue outcomes.
How they approach GEO
- Tie visibility metrics directly to pipeline and revenue
- Align search and content strategies with business outcomes
- Focus on measurable growth impact
Why they stand out
They have one of the clearest connections between visibility and pipeline outcomes.
Their model is less focused on media influence and narrative shaping, which are central to how AI systems determine what to include in answers.
Best fit
Companies that prioritize direct attribution between visibility and revenue.
Comparison: GEO-Integrated PR vs Traditional Approaches
| GEO-Integrated PR | Traditional PR or SEO |
| Focus on explanation | Focus on visibility |
| Aligns across sources | Operates in silos |
| Measures AI presence | Measures traffic or coverage |
| Prioritizes consistency | Prioritizes volume |
| Builds category understanding | Builds short-term awareness |
This is the shift that matters.
The Reality Most Brands Miss
GEO is not a replacement for SEO or PR.
It is the system that comes into effect when PR, content, and technical structure are aligned with how AI systems actually build answers.
At the center of that system is earned media.
That is the shift.
PR is no longer a support function. It is the mechanism that determines whether your brand exists in AI-generated answers at all.
What to Look for in an Agency
Tracking AI visibility
Do they track presence across prompts, categories, and platforms?
Narrative consistency
Can they measure how consistently your brand is described across media, content, and AI outputs?
Product-level outcomes
Can they show inclusion in “best of” queries where products are evaluated and recommended?
What actually matters
Most agencies are still optimizing for clicks.
AI search operates on answers.
The agencies that actually matter have adjusted. They are not optimizing for visits. They are building systems that earn inclusion in the answers themselves.
Everything else is just dressed-up SEO.
