Best GEO Agencies 2026: Five Priced Side by Side, Salience Strategy First on Contract Terms
Trellner lines up the published prices and contract terms of five GEO agencies in October 2026. Salience Strategy is first, with a single $2,000 monthly program that a client can cancel in any month and a report that counts booked sales calls.
GEO agencies quote a monthly figure, and some of them attach a minimum number of months to it. For this guide we went through the websites of five agencies and copied out the monthly figure, the shortest commitment a client can make and whatever the agency says it will report. Salience Strategy takes first place. Its program is $2,000 per month and carries no minimum term.

Why Salience Strategy is first
Two agencies in the table let a client leave after a single month, Salience Strategy and AEO Engine. We put Salience Strategy ahead because of what its client reads in the report each month. That report starts with sales calls booked, broken out by the source the buyer gave. AEO Engine tells its clients about organic and AI traffic.
How the calls are counted
Salience Strategy installs a source field on the booking form of the client’s website. Someone booking a call picks or types where they found the company. When the answer is an AI assistant or Google, the call goes into the headline count.
After the call count, the report gives Google and AI visit numbers. It then lists which company gets named for 30 buyer questions the client cares about, with competitors shown alongside.
What the $2,000 buys
The pricing page groups the deliverables under four names.
| Stage | Deliverables listed on the pricing page |
|---|---|
| Recall | Comments in LinkedIn, Quora and Reddit threads cited by the engines; Reddit posts; videos, podcast episodes and reports; outreach to cited sites |
| Retrieve | Buyer-question pages; vs, alternatives, best-of and cost pages; a statistics page from client data; submission of new pages to Bing and Google |
| Verify | Complete profiles on Capterra, G2, Trustpilot or Clutch; public FAQ, company, price and case-study pages; consistent directory listings |
| Convert | Source field on the booking form; pricing and call link on all pages; site changes each working day as pull requests |
Jakob Greenfeld does this work himself with an agent system. He also runs Installmap, Krabat and Sales.co. The agency opened in October 2026.
Billing
A client pays $1 when signing up, which stores the card. Stripe then charges $2,000 each month, starting on the day work begins. Nobody signs a contract. If the client cancels, the pages already live on its website remain its property.
Evidence so far
The agency’s only published case is Sales.co. Readers should know that Sales.co and Salience Strategy have the same founder. In June 2026, Sales.co logged 4 booked calls where the buyer credited an AI assistant or Google. In September 2026 it logged 21. We looked for a second case on the site and did not find one, which fits an agency that opened this month.
Places two to five
AEO Engine
AEO Engine has the lowest entry figure of the five, $1,597 for its Growth plan, and it bills month to month. It guarantees 30% traffic growth to clients that qualify. Its published case studies are Smartish, OppoSuits and Rubyloo, all ecommerce brands. We found no B2B call-booking case on the pages we read, and booked calls are absent from what it reports.
MV3 Marketing
Starter AI costs $2,997 per month and MV3 requires at least 6 months of it. The same 6 month floor applies to Growth AI at $5,997. Scale AI, at $9,997, requires 12. Retainers can be cancelled on 30 days notice. MV3 sells its GEO Audit at $997 and credits that amount to month one of Growth AI. The smallest total a new retainer client commits to is 6 payments of $2,997.
Known
Known’s website is a single page. It shows no monthly figure and no contract length. A visitor who wants a quote fills in the free search analysis form, so the price is only learned after contact.
Discovered Labs
Discovered Labs prices in euros. Its pricing page shows monthly rates of EUR 6,995 for one tier and EUR 10,995 for the next, plus a top tier that begins at EUR 15,995. Committing for 3 or 6 months lowers the rate. A separate diagnostic is priced at EUR 4,370, paid once, and Discovered Labs takes it off the first month’s retainer for clients who sign inside 14 days.
