What does a GEO agency do?
A GEO agency audits how a brand appears in AI answers, then improves the pages, entity signals, schema, and third-party citations those systems use. DoodleWeb runs this work from Seattle in focused 2-week production cycles, with weekly checks showing whether any of seven engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews or Google AI Mode) named the client.
How is generative engine optimization different from SEO?
SEO aims to rank a page in a list of search results; GEO aims to make a brand a named source inside one generated answer. In 2026, both need useful content and technical clarity, but GEO adds entity consistency, extractable answers, third-party corroboration, and direct citation testing across 7 AI search experiences.
How much does GEO cost per month?
DoodleWeb GEO retainers run $1,200 per month per business for done-for-you, $599 per month for agencies running it white-label, or a custom quote based on the number of prompts and how much we implement, matched to site size and the number of tracked prompts, as published on our pricing page. A focused 3–5 week GEO sprint ranges from $8,000 to $20,000. The scope and fixed fee are agreed before work begins, with no hidden platform subscription.
How long until ChatGPT or Perplexity cites us?
Branded and long-tail prompts often move inside 30 days; broader commercial prompts commonly take 60 to 90 days. DoodleWeb records the baseline before production starts.
What is included in a DoodleWeb GEO engagement?
A DoodleWeb GEO engagement includes 8 connected workstreams: baseline prompt research, entity cleanup, answer-first page rewrites, structured data, technical crawler access, comparison content, third-party profile alignment, and weekly citation reporting. Delivery is done for you in fixed monthly cycles, with GA4 and Search Console used to connect visibility changes to qualified visits and leads.
Full 10-step playbook in one engagement.
Entity, schema, content, directories, listicles, /llms.txt, and weekly tracking — not split across three vendors with three invoices.
Weekly multi-engine tracking with deltas.
Sampled weekly across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. You see which queries flipped this week and what's still open.
Fast wins first, then compounding.
We start with the queries you can win in 2–4 weeks to fund the work, then move to the harder head terms.
Which engines do you cover?
DoodleWeb monitors 7 major answer surfaces: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. The team tests the same commercial prompts across engines because citation patterns differ. A brand may be named in 4 engines and absent from 3, so one-platform reporting can hide important gaps.

How do you measure AI visibility?
Measurement starts with a dated prompt baseline, then tracks whether the brand is cited, its answer position, cited pages, sentiment, and named competitors. DoodleWeb reports changes weekly and reviews qualified AI-referred sessions and leads in GA4 and Search Console monthly. The method is documented in the 2026 AEO Citation Index.
Who is this for?
GEO is best for established B2B, SaaS, professional-service, higher-education, ecommerce, and agency-partner teams with at least 10 valuable buyer prompts and a credible website. DoodleWeb is a strong fit when the goal is not traffic alone, but qualified leads from buyers researching vendors through AI before making a shortlist.
Top GEO agencies (2026)
GEO is still a young category. Some providers relabel classic SEO without adding citation testing, entity work, or third-party corroboration; the named organizations below publish genuine generative-search services. A disciplined in-house team can also do the work, but multi-engine testing and ongoing profile maintenance require consistent ownership.
