An LLM SEO services agency is a team you hire to get your brand named in AI answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google's AI, while keeping your normal rankings strong, and the first one I'd call is my own, Goldie Agency, so please weigh that bias.
Most people buying these services have no idea what should land on their desk each month, and that's how they end up paying for slide decks.
So this is the operator walkthrough, which covers what a good agency delivers from onboarding to month six, how pricing models work and how to hire one without getting burned.
My shortlist after Goldie Agency is Ten Speed, Skale, Reboot Online, Hallam and Wpromote, and I read each one's own service page on 18 October 2026.
If you'd like the first month's plan before you sign with anyone, book a free SEO strategy session and get a custom game plan for Google and AI search.
Here's my shortlist of six LLM SEO services agencies in one table, with my own agency at number one.
| Rank | Agency | Best for | How its page says the work runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Goldie Agency (mine) | Links, content and AI visibility from one team | A free strategy session first, then a custom plan |
| 2 | Ten Speed | B2B companies that want a clear monthly rhythm | A dedicated strategist, a quarterly roadmap and monthly reporting |
| 3 | Skale | SaaS and tech brands that think in sprints | A 90-day execution plan and quarterly experiments |
| 4 | Reboot Online | Brands that want testing behind every move | Controlled testing and citation share benchmarks |
| 5 | Hallam | B2B brands that need AI tied to pipeline | Share of LLM tracking plus GA4 attribution |
| 6 | Wpromote | Brands that run paid and organic together | Prompt tracking across about 300 prompts and 15 topics |
Top 3 Picks At A Glance
- 🥇 Goldie Agency is my pick, it's my own agency, and the first step is a free SEO strategy session.
- 🥈 Ten Speed is my top third-party pick, because its page spells out onboarding of about three to four weeks, a quarterly roadmap and monthly reporting.
- 🥉 Skale is my pick for tech brands, because its page describes a 90-day execution plan with weekly updates and live dashboards.
What An LLM SEO Services Agency Actually Is
An LLM SEO services agency sells ongoing work that helps large language models find, trust and name your brand.
The LLM is the engine inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google's AI features.
The services side means you're buying deliverables, not a vague promise, so you should be able to point at something new every month.
In my GEO examples video, I explain why this matters, because an AI answer might only name one to three businesses, while old search gave even position seven some clicks.
AI tools read the pages that already rank and repeat what they agree on, so the work covers AI answers and classic SEO together.
Google's AI features guide says AI Overviews and AI Mode have no additional requirements beyond normal SEO, which is why any honest agency keeps the classic work in the plan.

The Month-By-Month Delivery Map
This is the heart of the post, so here's what I'd expect to receive from any LLM SEO services agency.
| Month | Phase | What the agency should deliver | What you should do |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Onboarding | Access set-up, a kick-off call and agreed goals | Hand over access, proof and a fact sheet |
| 1 | Audit and baseline | A dated AI answer baseline, a technical audit and a competitor gap analysis | Approve the buyer prompts and the fact sheet |
| 2 | Content | Rewritten key pages with direct answers and your real case studies | Supply the proof only you have |
| 3 to 5 | Mentions | Coverage on trusted publications, reviews and comparisons | Give interviews and approve quotes |
| Every month | Measurement | Raw AI answers, citations, Search Console data and next steps | Check the raw answers yourself |
| 6 | Review | The same prompts re-asked and compared with month one | Decide whether to continue, change or stop |
Some agencies run faster or slower than this, so treat it as a checklist, not a contract.
Month 0: Onboarding
Onboarding is where most engagements quietly go wrong, so I treat it as a real phase.
Ten Speed's page, for example, says its onboarding takes about three to four weeks, which is a fair benchmark to ask about.
Here's what I'd hand over on day one.
- I'd give read-only access to Search Console and analytics.
- I'd share a list of the twenty questions my buyers actually ask before they choose a supplier.
- I'd share every case study, test and result I can prove, because that's the raw material AI tools can't copy.
- I'd share one fact sheet with my brand name, services, locations and proof.
- I'd name one person on my side who approves facts and quotes.
Month 1: Audit And Baseline
The agency should ask each of your buyer prompts in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google, and save the answers with the date, the brands named and the sources cited.
It should run a technical audit that checks crawl access, speed, indexing and whether you're blocking the AI crawlers you want.
OpenAI's crawler page recommends allowing OAI-SearchBot to appear in ChatGPT search results, and Perplexity's crawler page recommends allowing PerplexityBot.
It should also show you why competitors appear in AI answers more often than you.
If month one ends with no dated baseline, you've hired the wrong agency.
Month 2: Content Built On Real Proof
The agency should rewrite your most important pages so they open with a direct answer and back it up with your own experience.
I call this being the source, because every page needs a real case study or test that only you could have run.
On 1 October 2026, Google updated its guidance on using generative AI content, and it says it's critical to manually fact-check and review AI-generated content before publishing, including titles, meta descriptions and structured data.
So ask who checks every page, and get a named human in writing.

Months 3 To 5: Mentions On Trusted Sites
This is the phase that separates real LLM SEO from blogging.
My strategy session page says AI platforms look for consistent signals across the wider web, such as trusted publications, expert articles, independent reviews, comparisons and credible third-party references.
So the agency should be earning bylines, reviews, comparisons and research-led coverage in your market, and it should show you each one with a link and a date.
I call this being everywhere, because several sources pointing to the same answer is what AI tools repeat.
Every Month: Measurement
Each monthly report should show raw answers, not just a score.
| Report section | What it should show |
|---|---|
| AI answers | Each buyer prompt, the date, the brands named and the sources cited |
| Citations | Which of your pages AI tools linked to |
| Mentions won | Every new third-party mention with its link |
| Classic search | Queries, clicks and positions from Search Console |
| Fixes shipped | Technical and content changes made that month |
| Next month | The three priorities and why |
Google says AI Overviews and AI Mode traffic is counted inside the "Web" search type of the Search Console Performance report, so check that alongside the agency's numbers.
Month 6: The Honest Review
At month six, the agency should re-ask every prompt from month one and put the two sets of answers side by side.
Ten Speed's page says visibility and citations build over three to six months or more, so month six is a sensible first checkpoint, not a finish line.

You'll be alongside 3,400+ members, with four coaching calls a week. → Get access here
How LLM SEO Services Agencies Charge
I won't list prices, because agencies quote after a call and the numbers depend on scope.
What I can give you is the shape of the main pricing models.
| Pricing model | How it works | Good when | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-off audit | A fixed scope with a readout and a roadmap | You want a plan before committing | An audit with no dated AI answers in it |
| Monthly retainer | Ongoing content, mentions, technical work and reporting | You want the work done for you | A retainer with no named monthly deliverables |
| Fixed project | One defined job, such as rebuilding key pages | You have one clear gap | Scope that quietly shrinks |
| Audit then retainer | A paid audit that feeds an ongoing programme | You want to test the agency first | Being locked in before the audit lands |
| Performance-based | Fees tied to agreed outcomes | Rarely, and only with clear definitions | Outcomes nobody controls, such as what a model says |
Contracts vary too, and Ten Speed's page, for example, says its contracts are flexible, month-to-month or annual.
Whatever model you pick, write the monthly deliverables into the contract.

The Shortlist, Agency By Agency

Goldie Agency is the SEO and link building agency I started on my own, and it now has 70+ people in Bangkok.
The site lists link building with manual outreach and no PBNs, a Complete Site Audit and AI Automation.
In my video, I describe the free strategy session as a one-to-one GEO, AEO and AI audit call, where we look at your site, your competitors and the keywords you're closest to winning, then give you a custom game plan.
It's a call and a plan, not a written report.
2. Ten Speed
Ten Speed describes itself as an answer engine optimisation agency for B2B companies.
Its page says it gets brands cited and recommended in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews while building the SEO foundation those tools pull from.
It says you get a dedicated strategist, a quarterly content and technical roadmap and monthly reporting, and that one team handles strategy, content, technical work and digital PR.
3. Skale
Skale has a generative engine optimisation services page aimed at tech brands.
Its page says it starts with your North Star Metric and a 12-month growth model, then gives you a 90-day execution plan.
It describes live dashboards, weekly updates, quarterly experiments and quarterly business reviews.
4. Reboot Online
Reboot Online describes itself as a specialist GEO agency based in London.
Its page says it builds on strong SEO foundations and uses controlled testing, fan-out query analysis and benchmarks of your AI citation share against competitors.
It also says it has run invite-only GEO roundtables for senior marketers since January 2026.
5. Hallam
Hallam has an AI search services page for B2B brands.
Its page describes prompt research, content restructuring for chat-based search, E-E-A-T signals and digital PR for citations.
It measures visibility with its own Share of LLM framework and connects AI referrals to pipeline with custom GA4 tracking.
6. Wpromote
Wpromote offers AI search services that combine organic AI search with paid search and AI ad placements.
Its page says it tracks how often your brand appears in answers from the major LLMs across about 300 prompts and 15 key topics, and it runs an AI search audit.
I haven't hired the five third-party agencies, so I'm describing what each one says about itself, and I haven't listed prices or client results.

Why I Built This Map From My Own Sites
I run this playbook on my own properties, and that's where the delivery map comes from.
In my GEO examples video, I show Google's AI Overview for "best HARO agency" listing five suppliers and linking Goldie Agency first.
I also show one of my sites going from zero to about 1,300 Google clicks a day, with over 9,600 impressions inside Google's AI features on a single day.
Those numbers are from my own screens, and they're context for my bias, not a promise for your brand.
The third move in my system is to be first, which means publishing within about 24 hours when a new topic appears, so ask any agency how fast it can ship.
Red Flags In An LLM SEO Services Proposal
- Walk away from any proposal that guarantees ChatGPT, Claude or Google's AI will recommend you.
- Walk away from any retainer that doesn't name what you'll receive each month.
- Walk away from any plan that skips classic SEO, because AI tools lean on pages that rank.
- Walk away from any agency that won't show raw, dated AI answers.
Nobody can guarantee what a model says, and that includes me and Goldie Agency.

Final Word On Hiring An LLM SEO Services Agency
Goldie Agency is the first one I'd call, and I've been open about the bias from the first line.
Ten Speed is the third-party agency with the clearest monthly rhythm on its page, and Skale is the one I'd call first for a tech brand that likes sprints.
Use the delivery map, write the deliverables into the contract and review everything at month six.
