Why does Interconnections appear on its own comparison page?

Because leaving itself off would be stranger. Interconnections publishes this and says so in the first paragraph, which is the only honest way to run a page like this. The entry also states plainly where Interconnections is the wrong choice, and several agencies here are recommended over it for specific situations.

How were these agencies chosen?

They are the agencies that actually rank and get cited for generative engine optimization terms, filtered to those with a real published position rather than a page with the acronym added. Interconnections marks each entry as verified against the agency’s own site or as taken from a third-party roundup, so you can weigh them differently.

Credible retainers in this category generally run $2,000 to $10,000 a month for mid-market brands, with enterprise programmes above it. The most transparent published pricing on this list is Digital Elevator, at $3,000 for a single sprint and roughly $9,000 to $24,000 for a full program. Interconnections scopes after a diagnostic rather than publishing a package.

Can any of these agencies guarantee an AI citation?

No, and none of the ones listed here claims to. Which sources a model names is outside any agency’s control. Interconnections treats a guaranteed-placement promise as a signal to audit every other number an agency shows you.

How current is this page?

Every verified claim was checked on 18 August 2026 against the agency’s own site. Positioning and pricing in this category move quickly, so if you are reading this much later, confirm anything that matters before acting on it. Interconnections re-verifies rather than quietly editing figures in place.

Comparison

Who actually does GEO well.

Q: Why is there no numbered ranking?

Because a single ranking across these agencies would be misleading. An enterprise relevance-engineering firm and a three-sprint program for a small team are not competing for the same buyer, so Interconnections orders the list by who each one serves and lets you match that against your own situation.

Interconnections publishes this page and appears on it, which you should factor into how you read it. What follows is a straight account of who serves which kind of company, checked against each agency’s own site rather than lifted from other people’s roundups. Most of the strongest GEO agencies are aimed at SaaS, B2B or enterprise, and if that is you, several of them are a better fit than Interconnections.

How to judge one before you sign.

01Ask how they measure retrievalAI crawlers execute no JavaScript, so they cannot appear in Google Analytics or any browser-based tool. An agency that cannot explain how it sees crawler traffic is measuring nothing, and a dashboard showing no AI traffic is not evidence either way.
02Ask for a citation rate, not a screenshotAI answers are probabilistic. Ask the same buying question ten times and you get several different shortlists. One screenshot of ChatGPT naming a brand is a single sample, so insist on a sampled rate across repeated runs.
03Check whether they separate reading from citingA site AI never fetches has a discoverability problem. A site AI fetches constantly and never quotes has an authority problem. Those need opposite work, and an agency that does not distinguish them is guessing.
04Walk away from guaranteesNobody controls which sources a model names. Any promise of guaranteed placement in an AI answer is a claim about something outside the agency’s control, and it is a reason to audit the rest of their numbers.
05Ask what happens off-siteA large share of what models read when deciding who to recommend is third-party: reviews, directories, roundups, forum threads. On-site work has a ceiling. An agency that only sells on-page will hit it and keep billing.
06Check they work with companies like yoursThis matters more in GEO than in SEO, because the buying questions differ enormously by category. An agency fluent in B2B SaaS demand is not automatically fluent in how someone shops for a $90 consumer product.

Who each one actually suits.

Ordered by who they serve, not ranked. An enterprise relevance-engineering firm and a three-sprint program for a small team are not competing for the same buyer, so a single league table would tell you nothing useful.

01iPullRankEnterprise and mid-market sites with real technical complexity. Describes itself as an enterprise and mid-market AI search agency and sells the work as "relevance engineering", covering query fan-out, passage retrieval, embeddings and synthesis mechanics rather than content volume. Its own site names Target, Under Armour, American Express, Adidas and The Wall Street Journal, and claims $2.4 billion in incremental revenue across engagements. If your problem is a large complicated site, this is the most technically serious option on this list.
02GraphiteGrowth-stage B2B SaaS. Positions as a research-driven growth agency across AEO, SEO and performance marketing, and names Webflow, n8n, Hinge Health, Fourthwall, BetterUp and MasterClass as clients. Its published case studies are SaaS outcomes, including Webflow doubling sign-ups from LLMs. Engagements look custom rather than packaged. Strongest choice here if you sell software.
03Digital ElevatorSmaller teams that want a fixed scope rather than a retainer. The most transparent pricing in the category, and structured as three sprints: foundation and measurement, content, then off-site. Single sprints start at $3,000, the full three-pillar program runs roughly $9,000 to $24,000, and ongoing off-site campaigns are $3,495 per 30-day cycle. Covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews and Gemini. Aimed at mid-market B2B, healthcare, biotech, local practices and SaaS rather than at ecommerce.
04DTC SEO AgencyShopify and Shopify Plus brands that want attribution, not rankings. The closest thing on this list to a direct ecommerce competitor. Austin-based, founded 2021, works exclusively with ecommerce, and delivers technical SEO, content, digital PR and Shopify development in-house. Its announced AEO and GEO framework is built around attributing revenue from organic and conversational surfaces, reconciled against GA4 and Triple Whale rather than reported as ranking movement, and it claims over $20 million in attributable revenue for DTC clients.
05DirectiveEnterprise B2B. Consistently placed as the enterprise B2B option in independent GEO roundups. Interconnections has not verified its GEO scope or pricing directly, so treat the fit description as third-party opinion rather than a checked fact. Positioning from third-party roundups, not verified against this agency directly.
06AnimalzContent-led GEO where editorial quality is the constraint. Named across GEO roundups as the pick for expert-driven content. That framing is plausible given a long-standing content reputation, but Interconnections has not verified a specific GEO offering, so this entry reflects third-party positioning rather than a checked claim. Positioning from third-party roundups, not verified against this agency directly.
07Siege MediaEnterprise content marketing at scale. Appears in GEO roundups as the choice for brands wanting citations earned through content quality and editorial rigour at volume. Positioning taken from those roundups, not verified against a published GEO service. Positioning from third-party roundups, not verified against this agency directly.
08SkaleSaaS and tech AI search growth. Roundups place Skale specifically on SaaS and technology AI search growth. Unverified by Interconnections, and listed so the SaaS reader has more than one option to compare. Positioning from third-party roundups, not verified against this agency directly.
09InterconnectionsEcommerce and DTC brands that want GEO inside a revenue system. Our own entry, so read it sceptically. Interconnections is an ecommerce growth agency that does GEO as one part of paid media, retention, SEO and conversion work, not a GEO specialist. What is distinctive is the measurement: AI crawler traffic is instrumented server-side, split by bot and by whether the fetch was indexing or answering a live question, because those crawlers run no JavaScript and are invisible to normal analytics. Documented result: one brand went from zero search visibility to 104 citations across five answer engines alongside 410% organic growth, over eight months. Where Interconnections is the wrong choice: enterprise technical work, anything B2B SaaS, and any brand wanting a GEO specialist rather than a growth partner who also does GEO.
