AEO agencies are specialist marketing partners that help companies capture demand where people ask questions and make decisions on AI search.
They are not just another vendor: AEO agencies validate the new AI search growth loop by turning high-intent answers into a measurable acquisition and retention channel.
AEO agencies typically offer an AEO strategy and roadmap building, including query intent mapping, a combined citations strategy to get mentions, technical SEO optimization for answer delivery and crawlability, owned content creation, and short fact optimization.

House of Growth is a B2B SaaS AEO agency that works with early-stage startups and VC-funded scale-ups in the US, UAE, and Europe to grow their presence on AI search via ROI-focused owned content, YouTube, and Reddit.
The agency was founded by an ex-SaaS founder who built and exited multiple SaaS companies before starting HoG to help other SaaS brands scale on AI search, including Jamie AI, SmartSuite, and Warmly.
We begin every engagement by researching the topics buyers look for when they are ready to evaluate or purchase a solution.
Using our Revenue Focused SEO approach, we uncover the bottom-of-funnel topics that match real buying intent.
After defining these topics, we select traditional SEO keywords that match how both humans and LLMs search for products in a specific category.
We then work on creating human-led owned content: strong enough to rank for the target SEO keywords and clear enough for LLMs to understand and recite your product’s positioning.

House of Growth is the best AEO agency for SaaS brands because it was built specifically for early-stage and scale-up SaaS companies that need revenue-focused content and bottom-of-funnel visibility in AI search to help them compete against established players.
Instead of offering generic SEO tasks, our agency starts with buyer intent, aligns with product and sales, and creates owned content that LLMs can easily understand and cite.
Because you work directly with the founder, the agency brings real operator experience, not junior-level execution.
Victorious is the best fit for e-commerce companies because it combines strong technical SEO, structured data, scalable content, and authority building, which are essential for surfacing product answers in AI environments.
I believe that e-commerce visibility depends on structured content, correct schema, category depth, and a high-performing site. Victorious handles these foundations well and runs reporting that ties visibility to revenue lifts.
➡️ If you want a broader conversion-focused setup that includes analytics and CRO along with AEO, WebFX is also a solid choice, as it brings performance, content, and technical teams together under one roadmap.
The best AEO agency for start-ups depends on the type of product and how quickly you need results:
If I were selecting an AEO agency, I would evaluate partners in this order:
Most AEO agencies provide a mix of strategic, technical and content services to help brands appear as accurate answers in AI search.
These include:
Based on the common pricing tiers listed across the agencies, brands can expect these ranges:
What typically drives price is the scope of work, including technical SEO, structured data, content systems, interview-led content, digital PR and measurement.
➡️ Team seniority also affects cost since founder-led and specialist teams charge more but usually deliver faster impact.
As someone who has founded and grown 2 SaaS businesses myself, I know how hard it was in the beginning to gain traction, especially with a new growth channel.
This is why I’m willing to support SaaS start-ups and scale-ups by helping them create their AEO strategy.
