Buyer’s guide
Eight UK agencies that sell AEO (getting your business named by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI), with the price each one publishes on its own site. I’m one of them, so I’ve put myself in the table on the same terms as everyone else, not at the top.
Last updated:
I started from the “best AEO agency” lists that Google shows for this search, then went to each agency’s own website and copied the price and terms from there. Where a list quoted a price the agency no longer shows, I used the agency’s own page. Several of those lists rank their own publisher first; I left those publishers out unless they sell AEO to small businesses.
Prices checked on 2 November 2026. They change, so click through before you decide. Sorted cheapest first.
| Agency | Price on its own site | Who it serves | What you get | Terms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AEO-REX | £29 once, then £49 a month | UK small businesses | Monthly checks across ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI, plus one small fix a month | Rolling, cancel any time |
| Sort The Clicks | From £300, £500 or £900 a month | Founder-led businesses | One SEO and AI search retainer; articles and fixes from the middle tier up | 3-month minimum, then 30 days |
| NeuralAdX | From £450 + VAT a month, up to £10,000 | SMEs up to category leaders | Entry tier tracks 5 questions and 5 competitors, improves 1 page a month | Minimum not stated |
| Vantage Growth Partners (me) | £497 a month at the founding rate, inside Growth | UK local and service businesses | AEO as part of a new website, local SEO, Google Business Profile and the Core follow-up system | Month to month |
| The Small Biz Expert | £150 + VAT meeting; monthly from £750 + VAT | Small businesses | Structured data, entity work, answer-format content, audits | Rolling, 1 month’s notice |
| Bamsh | Inside SEO from £799 + VAT a month | Local trades and professional services | AEO bundled with SEO: schema, FAQs, Google Business Profile, monthly report | Rolling monthly |
| The GEO Agency | £1,000 or £2,500 a month | SMEs | 50 buyer questions tracked weekly across 6 engines; on £1,000 your team does the work | 90-day minimum, then 30 days |
| Tilio | Not published | Marketing teams and owners | Analytics, technical fixes, content, outreach to other sites | Set in the proposal |
If you want to do the groundwork yourself first, my guide to AEO for small businesses has six steps that need no paid tool.
On the agencies’ own sites on 2 November 2026, prices ran from £49 a month for monitoring to £2,500 a month for weekly tracking across six AI tools, with bespoke quotes above that. Most small-business retainers sat between £300 and £1,000 a month.
It depends what you buy. Monitoring alone tells you where you stand but changes nothing. The work that moves it is fixing your site, matching your details everywhere and getting described on other sites, which overlaps heavily with ordinary SEO.
Several “best AEO agency” lists quote prices the agencies no longer publish, or rank the list’s own publisher first. Every price on this page was read on the agency’s own website on the date shown.
