Your buyers already moved. Your SEO probably didn't.

SEO used to be about trying to rank on Google’s first page. That's where the traffic was, where buyers compared vendors, and where we all optimized for. But in late 2024, when Google's search market share dropped below 90% for the first time in almost a decade, people started asking ChatGPT and Perplexity for suggestions instead. Those answers started getting clicks that used to go to pages like yours.

When we looked up our own agency in ChatGPT, we didn't get any results. We ranked well on Google for the searches that mattered, but we had no presence where our clients had started their research. So we rebuilt our own content first, got it cited, and then used the same method with clients. The traffic that came through came with real buyers and pipeline.

If you're looking for an LLM SEO agency right now, you should ask if they've done this for anyone you can trust. Here's why we think we can help, as well as who else made the list.

Why listen to us?

We host one of the top 2.5% of B2B marketing podcasts worldwide, recognised by Cognism and Goldcast. We believe LLM SEO is not a separate discipline—bottom-funnel content built for buyers in active evaluation is what AI engines prefer to cite.

We applied this system to our own brand, went from invisible in ChatGPT for “best SaaS SEO agencies” to consistently cited, and produced the same results for clients like RB2B and Proposify. We now offer SEO and LLM SEO as one unified service.

Here’s an example from ChatGPT on how we show up on LLMs: 

Why hire an LLM SEO agency?

Three reasons, briefly:

1. AI search traffic converts at a higher rate. Webflow reported that 8% of their signups come from AI chatbots, converting at 6x the rate of traditional organic.
2. LLMs pull from a narrow set of trusted sources. If you're not in that set, volume of content won't help.
3. The measurement stack is different. Citation frequency, share of voice in AI answers, AI referral attribution — these aren't in your current SEO dashboard.

At Breaking B2B, we treat SEO and LLM SEO as one system because the bottom-funnel content that ranks on Google for high-intent searches is the same content AI engines prefer to cite.

1. Breaking B2B

Breaking B2B is a B2B and SaaS SEO agency that builds bottom-funnel content programs around the searches buyers run when they're actively evaluating solutions — competitor alternatives, pain-point comparisons, best-of listicles. That content architecture is also what AI engines prefer to cite, so we don't treat SEO and LLM SEO as separate services. Alongside on-site content, we run brand mention outreach to secure placements in the external sources that LLMs pull from.

Services

• Content: Articles that convert based on authority, like blog posts, case studies, and landing pages
• Technical SEO: Optimized for speed and user experience, including site speed, indexing, and metadata
• Backlinks: Build authority and outrank competitors
• Competitor Analysis: Reverse engineer market leaders
• Analytics: Strategies Based on Data for maximum ROI

Key results

• Went from invisible in ChatGPT for "best SaaS SEO agencies" to consistently cited using our own system
• RB2B ranked #1 in Google organic and ChatGPT for "Leadfeeder alternatives"
• Proposify cited in ChatGPT for "best proposal software," "Quiller alternatives," and "GetAccept alternatives"
• Proposify demos up 115%, AI search visitors up 91%
• RB2B non-branded organic traffic up 77% in six months

Pricing

Published and transparent. Light starts from $4K/month. Growth Mode (most popular) from $5.5K/month. Dominate Your Market from $10K/month. Enterprise from $15K/month. No 12-month lock-in contracts. Full details on the pricing page.

Pros

• SEO and LLM SEO delivered as one unified service—no separate retainers or strategies
• Bottom-funnel content focus means budget goes to pages that drive demos and pipeline, not vanity traffic
• Brand mention outreach included—external placements in the sources LLMs cite, not just on-site optimization
• Published pricing with no 12-month contracts

Cons

• B2B and SaaS only — not suited for eCommerce, consumer brands, or local businesses
• Smaller team than the 100+ person agencies on this list

Best for: B2B and SaaS companies that want SEO and LLM SEO treated as one system, built around bottom-funnel content and brand mention strategy, measured in pipeline.

LLM SEO agency vs. traditional SEO vs. in-house teams

	Traditional SEO agency	LLM SEO agency	In-house team
What they optimize for	Google rankings and blue links	Citations inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews	Depends on who you hire
Core skills	Keywords, backlinks, technical SEO	Entity optimization, citation outreach, structured data, AI visibility tracking	Whatever your existing team knows
Tracking	Google Search Console, rank trackers	LLM-specific tools (AtomicAGI, Traqer AI, etc.)	You'll need to buy or build these
LLM methodology	Most haven't rebuilt for AI retrieval	Built around how LLMs select and cite content	Requires dedicated research time most teams don't have
Best when	Your priority is still Google traffic	You need to show up in AI-generated answers	You have technical SEO capacity and bandwidth to monitor multiple platforms

Most marketing teams are already stretched thin. The agency route makes more sense for the first 6-12 months to build the foundation, then you can maintain it internally or even continue. The best results come from agencies that run traditional and AI search as one system like what we do at Breaking B2B, because the content that ranks on Google for bottom-funnel queries is the same content LLMs prefer to cite.

When does an LLM SEO agency make sense?

Hire an LLM SEO Agency when:

• You appear on Google but nowhere when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity the same question
• You have good content, but something is preventing LLMs from referencing your site
• You need help with citation building and brand mentions, not just on-page optimization
• You don’t have the tools or time to monitor your site's visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews at once

Don’t bother hiring an LLM SEO Agency if your site:

• Has broken crawling
• Has no content
• Has no domain authority

LLM SEO is an extension of traditional SEO. If your traditional SEO is broken, you need to fix it before hiring an LLM SEO Agency.

Measuring LLM SEO success after hiring an agency

The metrics are quite different from traditional SEO metrics. A few things to track:

• Citation Frequency: How often is your brand represented in AI-generated answers to your target queries? This is the key metric. If an agency cannot show you this, then they're not tracking what matters.
• Share of Voice: How does your brand's citation frequency in AI-generated answers compare to your competitors on your queries? This is helpful for seeing if you're winning or losing.
• AI Referral Traffic: Most analytics tools don't track this well, but it can be done in GA4 if set up correctly. Look for referrer traffic from chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, and other AI-related sites.
• Conversion Rate from AI-Generated Visitors: That 6x conversion rate for Webflow from AI traffic is what every agency points to. However, track your own conversion rate from AI referral traffic compared to organic.
• Brand Sentiment in AI-Generated Answers: Not only is your brand represented, but how is it represented? Are you recommended? Offered as an alternative? Discouraged?

What do LLM SEO agencies do differently?

A few concrete differences from traditional SEO agencies:

Entity optimization vs. keyword targeting: LLMs don't use keywords like Google does. They use entities like brands, products, product features, categories. They use relationships between those. LLM SEO agencies work on how the AI model understands your brand as an entity, not keywords.

Structured data for AI comprehension: Schema markups, HTML structure, machine-readable content formats. These help LLMs correctly cite your content. This is basic SEO. But this becomes even more critical because the model isn't just an algorithm; it's actually reading your content.

Brand mention outreach: LLMs use a set of trusted external sources. These include review sites, comparison articles, industry publications, Reddit. LLM SEO agencies work on getting your brand mentioned in these external sources.

LLM-specific tracking and monitoring: You won't be able to see your brand being mentioned in ChatGPT from Google Search Console. LLM SEO agencies use special tools. Some use proprietary tools like Omnius's AtomicAGI or Grow and Convert's Traqer AI. Some use third-party tools.

How to choose the right LLM SEO agency

Things to check before signing:

Do they know where the search is going?

Google is no longer the sole provider of information for buyers. Any agency that does not think about AI-generated content alongside traditional rankings is already playing catch-up.

Do they create content for buyers, not just searchers? 

Bottom-funnel content like competitor pages, alternative content, and best-of lists is what really drives conversions. It just so happens that AI engines love to use those types of content as citations.

Can they demonstrate success in your industry?

B2B software buyers have long decision paths. Case studies about generic industries don't really tell us anything. Ask them for specific examples related to the way your buyers really research and make decisions.

How do they measure success? 

Anybody can make traffic numbers look good. Do they really drive content towards people near a buying decision? And can we really see that?

How much does it cost to hire an LLM SEO agency?

Most agencies charge somewhere between $3,000 and $20,000+ per month. What moves the number:

• Whether you're getting LLM SEO only or combined with traditional SEO
• How competitive your space is in AI search
• Proprietary tools vs. third-party platforms
• How much content needs to be created or restructured
• Who's actually working on your account (senior strategists cost more than junior executors)

Most agencies on this list don't publish pricing. Breaking B2B and Embarque do, which means you can figure out if you're in budget before getting on a call.

Breaking B2B's pricing starts from $4K/month for B2B and SaaS companies. Full pricing details here.

FAQs

What is an LLM SEO agency?

An agency that gets your brand featured in the answers generated by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other AI tools. Also known as GEO or AEO. Same thing, different names.

Can using the LLM SEO agency benefit my website's traffic?

Not only can it benefit your website's traffic, but the traffic will also be different. Instead of ranking on the first three spots on Google, your brand will be the source the AI will use to answer the user's query. This type of traffic has a much higher conversion rate because the user already trusts the source.

How can LLM SEO benefit my business?

You will reach the audience already looking for your products or services. Not by ranking on the first three spots on Google, but by being the answer to the user's query.

Are LLM SEO services expensive?

The cost will depend on the scope of the project. Complete LLM SEO optimization will cost more than a regular SEO retainer fee. However, if you are already losing traffic from AI-generated search results, the business case for return on investment is obvious.

Is it ethical to use AI to grow my website?

Yes. LLM SEO optimization is no different from any other SEO optimization tool. It's content quality. If it's useful and accurate, it's okay. If it's spam, it's still spam, even if it's generated by AI.

Do I hire an LLM SEO agency or do it in-house?

You can definitely do it in-house if you have someone dedicated to technical SEO, content creation, and AI-driven website visibility tracking tools. Unfortunately, most in-house marketing teams won't have access to all three. It would probably be better to hire an agency for the first 6-12 months to set everything up, and then you can maintain it in-house.
