The best AI SEO agencies in November 2026 are Siege Media, iPullRank, Seer Interactive, Graphite and Omniscient Digital, with Victorious, Grow & Convert, First Page Sage, Directive and Petra Labs for more specific needs. We judged all 10 on their own AI search service pages, linked case studies, published pricing or minimums, and client reviews on Clutch.
Demand is real: in the AgencyAnalytics 2026 benchmarks, 66% of agencies said clients are asking more for AEO and SEO for AI search, the top new service on the list. If you have a marketer in house, you can also run the work yourself with a platform like Orchly. Prices checked in November 2026.
How we evaluated these AI SEO agencies
We read each agency's own site: its GEO, AEO or AI SEO service pages, case studies, published pricing or minimums, and where the team is based. Then we looked for client reviews on Clutch, Google and Trustpilot. For each agency we noted:
- What it does for AI search, and what it leaves to you
- What it costs, or the minimum it lists
- The proof: linked case studies and independent reviews
We didn't hire any of these agencies, and none paid to be listed. Case-study numbers are each agency's own claims. Review quotes are condensed from Clutch and link to the agency's profile.
Orchly is our product. It's AI search software you run in house, not an agency, and we say where it falls short. Checked November 2026.

How we picked
We started from the ten agencies on our September 2026 list and checked each one again. All ten still operate and still sell AI search work on their own sites, so none were replaced. To stay on the list, an agency had to show:
- AI search as a named service. A live GEO, AEO or AI SEO service page, not one line in an SEO menu.
- Execution, not only audits. Content, digital PR, outreach or technical work done by the agency's own team.
- Public proof. At least one case study with AI search numbers, which we link.
- A clear view of cost. Published pricing or a listed minimum where one exists. Where neither exists, the table says "not published."
- Independent reviews where they exist. We checked Clutch, Google and Trustpilot. Only Clutch had client reviews for these agencies, and four of the ten have none.
Do you need an agency, or can you run AI SEO in house with Orchly?
Hire an agency when you have no in-house SEO or content team, when you need senior strategy you don't have, or when the job is mostly digital PR and content at a scale you can't staff. Published starting prices on this list run from $10,000 a month (Grow & Convert) to $15,000 a month (Petra Labs), and Clutch minimums run from $5,000 to $50,000+ per project.
If you already have a marketer or a small content team, you can run the same work in house. That's what we build. Orchly is an agentic AI search optimization platform: it tracks how ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews answer your buyers' prompts every day, reading the engines' real interfaces rather than APIs, and its agents run the work that improves those answers on their own, on a schedule.
Gemini, Google AI Mode, Claude, Grok and Microsoft Copilot are paid add-ons, and Orchly also tracks Meta AI and DeepSeek. Daily Google rank tracking, Search Console and GA4 sit next to your AI visibility.
An agency gives you a team and a monthly report. Orchly gives you agents that run the loop end to end, with approval optional.
What Orchly's agents do
- Find the gaps. They analyze your AI visibility, competitors, SEO and Search Console and GA4 data, including the cited pages that name competitors but not you (Mention Gap).
- Write and refresh. The content agent decides which pages to write or refresh, does it in your brand voice and publishes to WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Ghost or Sanity, directly or after your approval.
- Keep Brand Brain current. Your brand facts, voice and positioning stay up to date, and answers that contradict your approved facts get flagged.
- Run outreach. The Activation Agent finds the sites and people AI engines cite, sends citation and backlink outreach from your inbox, and finds Reddit threads worth joining with drafted replies.
- Fix the site. The Site Health agent audits pages for technical SEO and AI search issues and ranks the fixes.
Where Orchly falls short
- No people on the account. Orchly doesn't give you a strategist, writers or a PR team. Someone on your side still owns the strategy.
- No original research or PR campaigns. Agencies like Siege Media and Graphite build data studies and pitch journalists. Orchly's outreach goes to the sites and people AI already cites.
- Add-on engines. ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews are included. Gemini, AI Mode, Claude, Grok and Copilot cost extra.
Orchly pricing
- Essential: $49/month for 25 prompts, 1 website and 1 user
- Pro: $125/month for 100 prompts, 3 websites and 5 users, with white-label reports
- Enterprise: custom, with unlimited prompts, websites and users
- There's a 7-day free trial, and yearly billing saves 25%. See Orchly pricing or start a free trial.
It doesn't have to be one or the other. Many agencies run client work on a platform, and Orchly has a workspace per client and white-label reports. See Orchly for agencies.
1. Siege Media: best for content-led GEO and digital PR
Siege Media is an Austin content marketing agency that now sells itself as a GEO agency, and it suits mid-market and enterprise brands that want content, digital PR, Reddit and affiliate placements run as one AI search program.
Its GEO service is built around the sources AI answers quote. The team writes bottom-of-funnel comparison and pricing pages, creates research for digital PR, builds a disclosed Reddit presence and lands placements in affiliate roundups. Its DataFlywheel tool refreshes pages quarterly or faster.
Reporting covers LLM share of voice in your category prompts, citations earned, AI referral traffic and branded search lift. Siege says it recommends a tracking tool per client rather than using one of its own.
According to Siege Media, its Mentimeter case study shows 124K ChatGPT sessions over six months from bottom-funnel software comparisons. Its SaaS page says Zapier earned 47.2K AI Overview citations.
What they offer
- BlueprintIQ planning. Market analysis, prompt-level citation mapping, a freshness audit and a 12-month roadmap in months one and two.
- BOFU content. Comparison, pricing and "best X" pages, plus calculators and other interactive tools.
- Digital PR and research. Data studies pitched to publishers that AI engines cite.
- Reddit and affiliates. Community presence and placements in editorial roundups.
- Measurement. Monthly LLM share of voice, citations and AI referral traffic next to revenue.
Where it falls short
- Siege asks for a 6+ month horizon and says it's not a fit if you need results in weeks.
- Content-first. If your problem is mostly technical, a more technical partner may fit better.
- Pricing isn't published.
Client reviews
Siege Media has 48 Clutch reviews averaging 4.9.
“Their work led to a 400% increase in AI visibility for our high-priority tracked prompts. They were punctual, thorough and open to feedback.” (Source)
“Their organization and documentation are very impressive.” (Source)
“They have a lot of experience, but they should interview our internal experts more on very technical subjects.” (Source)
Pricing
- Engagements: custom proposal, no published price
- Minimum: $5,000+ per project and $100 to $149 an hour, according to its Clutch profile
2. iPullRank: best for enterprise technical AI search
iPullRank is a New York agency founded in 2014 by Mike King, and it suits enterprise brands with large, technically complex sites that want AI search treated as an engineering problem.
It sells the work as relevance engineering: how AI systems retrieve, chunk and choose passages to cite, and how your content, site structure and wider brand presence line up with that. Its GEO service comes in three stages, from startups to Fortune 500 programs with executive reporting tied to revenue.
It gives a lot away for free. The AI Search Manual explains its method in detail, so you can read how it works before a sales call.
According to iPullRank, a global financial services client grew sign-ups 121% and organic traffic 52% over six months after a semantic content optimization program.
What they offer
- AI Search Strategy Program. Emerging, Growth and Elite tiers, from a visibility baseline to cross-platform measurement. See the program page.
- Omnimedia strategy. Plans for press, forums, review sites and video, not only your own pages.
- Content engineering. Passage-level optimization scored on metrics like fan-out coverage and information gain.
- Attribution. Citations and AI referral traffic tied back to leads and revenue.
Where it falls short
- High floor. Clutch lists a $50,000+ minimum project.
- Its published case studies lean on classic organic metrics such as traffic and sign-ups more than AI citation numbers.
Client reviews
We found no client reviews to quote. iPullRank's Clutch profile has none, and we found no Google or Trustpilot reviews.
Pricing
- Programs: Emerging, Growth and Elite, priced on request
- Minimum: $50,000+ per project, according to its Clutch profile
3. Seer Interactive: best for enterprise AI search measurement
Seer Interactive is a Philadelphia agency and certified B Corp founded in 2002, and it suits enterprise teams that want AI search measured and tested before they scale it.
Seer says it has worked on AI search since January 2023. Its GEO service covers KPIs and measurement, analysis and strategy, optimization, and team training, and many clients start with a diagnostic phase instead of a 12-month program.
Its research is the main draw. A July 2026 study of 4,124 pages cited in LLM answers found 72% had been updated in the past year, but only 42% were published in the past year.
According to Seer, an outdoor living brand grew AI Overview citations 344% in five months after an optimization sprint on 11 articles.
What they offer
- Measurement. Prompt tracking plans, AI traffic conversion analysis, benchmarks and a predictive traffic model.
- Testing. A program built around what its own experiments show moves AI visibility.
- Brand accuracy. Tracks how accurately LLMs describe your brand before chasing category prompts.
- Training. Workshops and SeerAdvance AI consulting for in-house teams.
Where it falls short
- Premium rates. Clutch lists $200 to $300 an hour and a $10,000+ minimum project.
- Its AI search case studies don't name the client.
- Only four Clutch reviews, one of them very negative.
Client reviews
Seer has four Clutch reviews averaging 3.8.

4. Graphite: best for research-driven AEO for tech brands
Graphite is a research-led growth agency based in San Francisco and run by CEO Ethan Smith, and it suits tech and SaaS companies that want AEO decisions backed by data.
Its research team publishes under Five Percent, including a May 2026 study finding that about half of all online articles are now AI-generated, but that they mostly don't rank in search. Its line on AEO is "Great SEO is free AEO. Offsite is the real difference."
The AEO service covers prompt research from sales calls, Reddit and help centers, citation-ready content, brand sentiment, technical AEO, citation tracking and offsite work. Its homepage names Webflow, n8n and Hinge Health as clients.
According to Graphite, its Webflow case study grew LLM share of voice from 33% to 64% and doubled the share of sign-ups from LLMs, from 4% to 8%.
What they offer

Client reviews
We found no client reviews for Graphite on Clutch, Google or Trustpilot.
Pricing
- Engagements: custom quote, no published price or minimum
5. Omniscient Digital: best for B2B SaaS
Omniscient Digital is an organic growth agency for B2B brands, based in Austin with a distributed US team, and it suits B2B software companies that want AEO run inside a full SEO and content program.
Its AEO service starts by modeling real buyer demand from voice-of-customer research and sales conversations, then targets the comparison, alternative and use-case prompts where vendors get shortlisted.
It also works on the sources behind the answer: publishers, review sites, communities and comparison pages, through original research, digital PR and expert contributions. Part of every program goes to AEO experiments.
According to Omniscient Digital, its Convert case study grew LLM visibility 81% and AI citations 140% in 60 days.
What they offer
- Demand modeling. Software that turns customer and market data into the prompts and topics you need to own.
- Consideration-stage content. Comparisons, alternatives and buying-criteria pages.

Its GEO service works on entity signals, retrievable page structure and third-party coverage. It also sells AEO and AI SEO under separate service pages.

“What sets them apart is their fearless transparency and forward-looking technical expertise.” (Source)

Its SEO and GEO service starts with interviews of your sales and product teams, maps them to high-intent keywords and prompts, then produces interview-based content. Each client gets a strategist, a writer, an analytics lead and a technical SEO in their Slack.
It also sells AI citation outreach on its own. The team uses its own tool, Traqer AI, to find the pages ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews cite, then pitches those sites for mentions or links.

9. Directive: best for B2B demand gen teams
Directive is a B2B performance marketing agency founded in 2013 and based in Irvine, California, and it suits B2B tech companies that want AI search planned alongside paid media, content and RevOps.

10. Petra Labs: best for enterprise AEO with revenue attribution
Petra Labs is a New York AEO firm founded in 2025, and it suits enterprise brands that want AI search tied to revenue and can commit a large annual budget.
It pairs its own tracking platform with an embedded team and custom attribution. The platform benchmarks your visibility across AI engines, the team builds content, places citations and manages distribution, and attribution models connect AI search to revenue.
That attribution matters because most AI-referred traffic shows up as direct, organic or dark social. Petra builds a custom layer to surface it.
According to Petra Labs, its Novig case study shows 27x AI search traffic in six months. It has also published an end-to-end partnership with Zapier.

- Typical programs: $250,000 to $600,000+ a year, depending on brands, query competition and attribution setup
- Clutch lists a $10,000+ minimum project.
