How Much Does a GEO Agency Cost? Published Prices Compared

How much does a GEO agency cost? Most guides answer with a price band, never say where it came from, and finish by pitching their own service. You have probably read two or three of them already.

We did it differently. I’m Devon Kellar, and I run the GEO Agency Directory. On 28 September 2026 we read the pricing pages of all 246 agencies in the directory and wrote down every figure they publish. According to GEO Agency Directory’s price ledger, a UK GEO agency costs from £399 to £2,500 a month at entry level, with a median of £1,800 across the five agencies that publish a price in pounds. Across the 23 USD-priced agencies that publish a monthly figure, the median entry price is $3,500 a month, according to the same ledger.

The full ledger, with a source link for every price, sits further down this page. Nothing here is an estimate, a conversion or an average across currencies. Where a page quotes dollars, you see dollars.

How much does a GEO agency cost per month in the UK?

A UK GEO agency costs between £399 and £2,500 a month at entry level, according to GEO Agency Directory’s price ledger of the five UK agencies that publish a monthly price in pounds, read from their own pricing pages on 28 September 2026. According to the same ledger, the median of those five entry prices is £1,800 a month, and four of the five start below £2,000.

Here are the five, lowest first:

• Studio 36 Digital: GEO Starter at £399 + VAT a month, rising to £699 and £999.
• Flypost Marketing: AI Visibility Foundations at £749 a month, Growth at £1,499.
• Bulldog Digital Media: AI SEO Package 1 at £1,800 a month, Package 2 at £3,450.
• Angelfish Marketing: AI SEO Foundation at £1,995 a month, Professional at £3,495, Advanced at £4,995.
• Reboot Online: GEO service from £2,500 a month.

The highest published UK tier we found is Angelfish’s Advanced tier at £4,995 a month, so the published UK range runs from £399 at entry to £4,995 at the top.

Five is a small sample. It is still five real prices, each with a link you can check.

Some UK agencies price in dollars instead of pounds. Breaking B2B lists SEO, GEO and AEO for B2B from $4,000 a month. The Search Initiative lists its AI Search service from $3,600, and Visuable lists USD 1,995 and USD 2,995 for its two AI visibility offers; neither page states a period. If a UK agency quotes you in dollars, that is their billing currency, not a mistake.

What GEO agencies publish: the price table

Of the 246 agencies in the GEO Agency Directory, 37 publish at least one GEO, AEO or AI SEO price, giving 43 price points in total, according to our read of each agency’s service page plus its /pricing, /prices and /packages pages on 28 September 2026. By headquarters, 8 are UK-based, 19 US-based, 6 Singapore-based and 4 have no HQ recorded.

We kept only prices tied to a GEO, AEO or AI search offer, and checked up to five pages per agency. A further 9 agencies show only a budget bracket on an enquiry form, which is not a price. For the remaining 200, we did not find a published price on the pages we checked.

Every figure below is printed in the currency the page uses. Where a Singapore agency writes “$” without saying which dollar, we print it as shown and mark the currency as not stated. How agencies get into the directory in the first place is set out on our methodology page.

US-dollar GEO pricing

Agencies that price GEO in US dollars charge a median entry price of $3,500 a month, according to GEO Agency Directory’s price ledger of 23 entry figures from UK, US and Singapore agencies read on 28 September 2026. The range runs from $400 a month for monitoring only to $10,000 a month for bundled programmes.

At the low end, Mint Position lists ongoing GEO monitoring at $400 a month and Actuate Media starts its SEO/GEO/AIO programme at $1,299. At the top, Uproer lists managed GEO, SEO and SEM from $10,000 a month, and uSERP lists managed SEO and AI search from $10,000 with a six-month initial term.

Between those ends, Rank Prompt’s full execution starts from $2,500, Blackhawk Digital Marketing at $2,750, Optimist’s advisory retainer at $3,000, and Digital Elevator and DoodleWeb at $3,500. You can compare every US-listed agency on the US GEO agency hub.

Singapore pricing needs reading carefully, because several pages write “$” without saying which dollar. MediaOne lists three tiers at $580, $980 and $2,890 a month (currency not stated). Best Marketing starts from $3,500 (currency not stated). MediaPlus Digital is explicit in Singapore dollars, from S$1,000. Logara is explicit in US dollars, at US$799 and US$1,499. Stridec charges USD 9,000 for a one-time 90-day engagement, followed by a retainer from $2,000 a month. The full list is on the Singapore GEO agency hub.

A dollar quote tells you the agency’s pricing currency, nothing more. Three of the eight UK-based agencies in the ledger price in US dollars. Among Singapore agencies, one prices in Singapore dollars, two state US dollars, and three write “$” without saying which. If a quote doesn’t name the currency, ask before you compare it with anything else.

How GEO agencies price: retainers, audits, sprints and pay-per-placement

GEO agencies use four pricing structures, often with a minimum term, according to GEO Agency Directory’s price ledger (43 published prices, read 28 September 2026): a monthly retainer, a one-off audit or sprint costing $1,200 to $9,000, pay-per-placement at £300 per mention, and an hourly rate of $185. Knowing which one you are being quoted matters more than the headline number.

Monthly retainer

Of the 43 prices in the ledger, 32 are monthly retainers, usually tiered, and three more pair a retainer with a one-off fee. So when people ask about GEO retainer cost, this is the structure they mean. Bulldog Digital Media lists £1,800 and £3,450 a month. Emarketed lists its AEO engagement from $5,000 a month.

One-off audit or sprint

A fixed fee for a defined piece of work, usually an audit, a strategy or a short burst of fixes. Mint Position lists a GEO audit at $1,200. Winston Digital lists a “GEO Fix Sprint” from $2,500. Optimist lists an “AI search strategy and roadmap” from $7,500.

Pay-per-placement

Only one agency in the ledger prices per placement. Bulldog Digital Media charges £300 per mention or £150 per listicle placement, separate from its retainer tiers, so you pay for each outcome you can count.

Hourly

1Digital Agency lists AI SEO at $185 an hour, with a three-month minimum. It is the only hourly rate we found.

Minimum terms

The three published minimum terms are Uproer’s 12-month commitment on managed GEO, uSERP’s six-month initial term and 1Digital’s three-month minimum. On Uproer’s managed GEO, a 12-month commitment at $5,000 a month is $60,000 over the term. The same monthly price on a rolling basis is a very different decision, so always ask.

What changes how much a GEO agency costs?

How much a GEO agency costs moves with four things the agencies’ own pages spell out: how many AI platforms are covered, how many mentions are targeted, whether GEO is bundled with SEO, and whether a citation budget sits on top of the fee. MediaOne’s tiers, for example, run from $580 for one AI platform to $2,890 for its Enterprise tier (currency not stated), read on 28 September 2026.

Number of AI platforms. MediaOne prices by coverage. Its $580 Starter covers one AI platform, chosen from ChatGPT, Perplexity or AI Overviews. Its $980 Growth tier covers two.

Number of mentions. Bulldog Digital Media’s two retainers are built around 5 linked mentions a month at £1,800 and 10 at £3,450. That is a concrete unit you can hold an agency to, which is more useful than “more work”.

Bundling with SEO also moves the number. Flypost Marketing’s £749 AI Visibility Foundations tier includes an SEO plan, and Optimize Plus lists a GEO retainer at $3,900 a month against a GEO + SEO bundle from $7,500. If you already pay for SEO, check whether a quote duplicates it, and ask whether GEO is priced on its own or riding on an SEO budget you would need anyway.

Citation budgets outside the fee. DerivateX lists a $5,000 a month 90-day pilot, plus a separate $1,000 to $1,200 a month citation budget. Two quotes that both say “$5,000 a month” can hide very different totals. Ask what sits inside the number.

If a retainer feels like too much commitment, some agencies sell a fixed-fee first step instead.

GEO audit cost

A one-off GEO audit or fixed-fee project costs between $1,200 and $9,000, according to GEO Agency Directory’s price ledger of six one-off prices, read on 28 September 2026. The cheapest is a $1,200 audit. The most expensive is a $9,000, 90-day engagement. In between sit sprints, a four-week foundation project and a strategy roadmap, so a name like “audit” or “sprint” tells you very little about what you get.

The six published figures, lowest first:

• Mint Position, GEO audit: $1,200 one-time.
• Winston Digital, GEO Fix Sprint: from $2,500 one-time.
• Best SEO, AI visibility audit: $2,500 one-off (currency not stated).
• Optimize Plus, GEO Foundation over 4 weeks: $4,800 one-time.
• Optimist, AI search strategy and roadmap: from $7,500 one-time.
• Stridec, 90-day AI Overview engagement: USD 9,000 one-time.

Before you compare two audit quotes, ask what you get at the end. A report, a prioritised fix list, implemented fixes, or three months of work are four different products at four different prices.

Agencies with no published price, and what to ask in a quote

Of the 246 GEO agencies in our directory, 37 publish at least one figure, 9 show only a budget bracket on an enquiry form, and for the remaining 200 we did not find a published price on their service or pricing pages, read on 28 September 2026. For most agencies, the only way to learn the generative engine optimisation cost for a UK business is to ask for a quote.

The nine bracket-only agencies are POLARIS, Position Digital, Thrive, Victorious, HigherVisibility, Moburst, Four Dots, 5W Public Relations and SEO Image. Each asks you to pick a monthly budget band on a form. A bracket you choose is not a price they charge, so we left them out of the ledger.

When quotes arrive, check each against these four questions:

• What is inside the retainer? Which AI platforms, and how many mentions or placements a month.
• Is there a minimum term? See the published minimum terms above.
• Does placement or citation spend sit outside the fee? See the DerivateX example above.
• What gets reported? Ask whether the report tracks citations and mentions in AI answers as well as search rankings.

The GEO Agency Directory sells no GEO service, so there is no house price to pitch you. The useful next step is to request proposals from several verified agencies and hold each one against the structures, terms and inclusions in the ledger above.

Every figure in this post came from a dated read of an agency’s own page on 28 September 2026. Prices will move, and we re-read the pages. For how agencies are verified and listed, see the directory methodology.
