How this ranking is calculated

Providers are ordered by how often AEO Updates reporting covers them, plus the capabilities and pricing each one publishes. AEO Updates does not collect user reviews, so no star ratings or review counts are shown: an ordering built on invented ratings would be worthless to a buyer.

  • Coverage, up to 55 points. How many AEO Updates articles name the provider, and how often. Log-damped, so the thirteenth article about a vendor counts for less than the second.
  • Disclosure, up to 20 points. Published capabilities, published pricing, and a disclosed headquarters. All independently checkable.
  • Editorial adjustment, up to 25 points. A manual score used where our reporting lags the market. Capped so it can never manufacture a leader on its own.
  • User reviews, up to 60 points. Currently unused. AEO Updates does not collect reviews, so no provider carries a rating and none is shown. The field exists so that real data can be added later without inventing it now.

Questions about AEO providers

What is an AEO provider?

An AEO provider is a platform, agency, or consultant that helps brands appear in answers generated by AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Platforms measure and monitor visibility. Agencies and consultants do the work of changing it.

How many AEO providers are in this directory?

This directory lists 27 providers across 5 categories: AI Visibility Platforms, Full-Service AEO Agencies, SEO Agencies with AEO Services, Independent Consultants, and Link Building & PR for AEO. It covers 12 platforms and 12 agencies.

What is the difference between an AEO platform and an AEO agency?

An AEO platform is software that measures how often and how accurately a brand appears in AI answers, tracks competitors, and identifies gaps. An AEO agency is a service business that acts on those findings: producing content, implementing structured data, and building the citations that change what AI engines say. Some providers do both.

How much does AEO software cost?

Published pricing among the 25 providers in this directory that disclose it ranges from around 20 euros per month for entry-level brand monitoring to enterprise contracts quoted on request. Agency retainers are quoted per engagement and are not published.

How is this directory compiled?

Every listing is researched and written by the AEO Updates editorial team, which is part of The Prompt Group. Providers do not pay to be listed and do not review their entries before publication. Where a commercial partnership exists, the listing carries a partner label and the outbound link is marked as sponsored.
