AI search optimization for agencies (GEO, AEO)
Clients ask AI which agency to hire. Does it name yours?
A shortlist of agencies used to come from referrals and search. Now it also comes from an assistant - and the briefs go to the names on it.
We asked both assistants what an online store owner would ask.
Asked: What is the best SEO agency for an e-commerce store?
There isn’t one objectively “best” e-commerce SEO agency—the right choice depends heavily on your platform, catalog size, revenue, and whether you need technical SEO, content, link building, or all of them.
For 2026, a few agencies worth putting on your shortlist are:
- Searchbloom — strong e-commerce/Shopify focus, with emphasis on technical SEO, catalog optimization, content, and revenue measurement.
- Inflow — established e-commerce SEO specialist, particularly worth considering for larger stores and sophisticated technical/content programs.
- OuterBox — long-established e-commerce SEO firm with substantial Shopify experience and a focus on organic revenue.
- Coalition Technologies — potentially a good fit if you want SEO combined with Shopify development/design capabilities.

ChatGPT named 5 brands. Claude named 14. Is yours one of them?
A buyer who asks this never opens a results page. They get a short list, pick from it, and the brands that were not on it never had a chance.
The list is short
An answer names a handful of brands, not ten blue links. Being the eleventh result used to be visible. Being the eleventh brand is invisible.
Each assistant reads differently
ChatGPT and Claude above answered the same question with different brands, because they read different sources. Winning one does not win the other.
It changes every week
Answers move as models update and new pages get cited. A single audit tells you where you stood once; it does not tell you when you dropped out.
Measure it, then put an agent on it
It does the work, not just the report
The agent reads what the assistants said about your category, finds the questions you lose and the pages they cite instead of you - and then writes. Briefs and full drafts for your site, a pitch to the publications that keep getting cited, a plan with the effort each step takes.
- Writes the page that answers the question you lose - every number with its source
- Names the exact sites assistants read and never mention you on
- Turns an analysis into a to-do list you can start with one click
- Nothing is published or sent without you
