Your B2B Buyers Are Already Asking AI for Recommendations

A small (but growing AND high-intent) share of your pipeline is starting with a prompt, not a Google search.

Buyers are asking ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity to compare vendors and shortlist tools. If your brand doesn’t show up in those answers, competitors will capture their attention before your sales team gets a shot.

But GEO is still a new discipline, and the agency landscape is full of bold claims and little proof. Knowing who actually delivers results versus who’s just rebranding their old SEO tactics matters.

So, read on for 7 agencies that are actually driving demos with B2B GEO tactics.

Why Listen to Us?

Breaking B2B is a B2B SEO & GEO agency with a proven track record of helping companies like Proposify boost AI search visibility in record time.

We work with B2B tech companies on strategies that drive pipeline from both traditional and AI-powered search in as little as 90 days.

Why Hire a GEO Agency?

AI tools are shaping your buyers’ shortlists. Not getting cited leads to two issues:

  1. Your brand is invisible in AI outputs
  2. Competitors are defining the narrative around your brand

That’s where GEO Agencies come in. The process of earning AI citations involves structured SEO, content, PR, structured data, and reputation management. A dedicated B2B agency can coordinate these more efficiently than most in-house teams.

How to Choose the Right GEO Agency

Choosing the right agency is hard. These are the things we recommend looking into and asking about before you build your shortlist:

  • Look for cross-functional capabilities. AI visibility depends on SEO (both on- and off-page), content, PR, and technical optimization working together. Some agencies will only be able to deliver on 1 or 2 fronts, while others (like Breaking B2B) handle all of these in-house, so nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Ask for real case studies with numbers. Every agency claims GEO expertise. The difference is published results with named clients, specific metrics, and clear timelines.
  • Understand their measurement framework. Ask how they track AI citations and the frequency of recommendations. Agencies relying solely on keyword rankings aren’t measuring GEO properly.
  • Check their B2B tech expertise. Your agency needs to understand how buyers research solutions and how AI tools answer their questions. Breaking B2B’s exclusive focus on B2B and SaaS means they understand these dynamics deeply.
  • Evaluate flexibility and transparency. Long lock-in contracts are a red flag in a discipline this new. Look for shorter commitments and regular reporting that lets you evaluate ROI quickly. We’re big believers in the idea that SEO doesn’t always take 12 months to yield meaningful wins:

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a GEO Agency?

GEO agency pricing varies based on scope, company size, and agency positioning. Focused programs start around $3,500 to $6,500/month. Mid-range engagements combining GEO with content, technical SEO, and PR fall between $7,000 and $15,000/month. Enterprise programs with full-funnel coverage can exceed $20,000/month.

Cost depends on your industry’s competitiveness, website complexity, existing content, and how many AI platforms you’re targeting.

We offer transparent, tailored pricing starting at $3.5k/month, with flexible plans as short as 90-day sprints, and no long retainers. No matter the plan, you will work directly with founder Sam Dunning and senior SEOs.

FAQs

AI platforms pull recommendations from highly ranked list articles, third-party mentions, review scores, structured data, and website authority. A GEO strategy involves securing listicle placements, building brand mentions across trusted sources, improving technical structure, and creating content that directly answers buyer questions. It requires coordinated efforts in SEO, content, PR, and technical optimization.

What is the timeline for seeing ROI from an AI search program?

Most agencies report measurable changes in AI citation rates within 4 to 12 weeks. Pipeline impact depends on your content foundation and competitive landscape. Companies with strong SEO foundations see results faster. For those starting from scratch, expect 3 to 6 months before AI-sourced leads become consistent.

Does AI search optimization replace traditional SEO, or do they work together?

They work together. Strong Google rankings remain one of the biggest factors in whether AI platforms recommend your brand. A solid B2B SEO foundation makes GEO more effective, and content optimized for AI citations also performs better in traditional search.

What is the difference between GEO, AEO, AIO, and LLMO?

These acronyms describe variations of the same discipline: optimizing your brand to appear in AI-generated search results. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the most widely adopted term. AEO focuses on answer engines like Google’s AI Overviews. LLMO focuses on building brand trust with LLMs, and AIO serves as an umbrella term for all AI Optimization. In practice, the strategies overlap significantly.

Is traditional Google search still relevant if my audience is moving to LLMs?

Yes. Google rankings directly influence what AI platforms recommend. If you rank well on Google, you’re far more likely to be cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity. Dropping traditional SEO would undermine the foundation that makes GEO work.
