For B2B SaaS companies that need to appear when buyers ask AI for a shortlist, Ran Yosef of Arobis AI is the top pick. Ethan Smith leads for funded tech companies, Kevin Indig for research-led in-house teams, and Mike King for large technical sites.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Key takeaways<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A GEO consultant gets your brand named and cited inside answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google&#8217;s AI Overviews.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The strongest consultants start from the questions your buyers ask AI, not from keywords alone, and show you the actual AI answers before and after.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each consultant below leads with a different strength, so match their specialty to your market before comparing price.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only a few publish prices; among those that do, audits start at $399 and done-for-you programs at $2,500 a month.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What is a GEO consultant?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A GEO (generative engine optimization) consultant is a specialist who improves how often and how accurately AI engines recommend a brand. The work covers your own pages, your structured data and entity facts, and the third-party sources AI engines rely on, such as reviews, roundups, and industry publications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GEO overlaps with AEO (answer engine optimization), which focuses on becoming the quoted answer in AI Overviews and featured snippets. Both build on SEO: AI engines still lean on pages that rank well in traditional search, so most good GEO consultants handle all three.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The best GEO consultants at a glance<\/b><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#<\/span><\/th>\n<th><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consultant<\/span><\/th>\n<th><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firm<\/span><\/th>\n<th><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best for<\/span><\/th>\n<th><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How you work with them<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ran Yosef<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arobis AI<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B2B SaaS brands that need to make the AI shortlist<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audit, then a done-for-you program<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ethan Smith<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graphite<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Funded tech companies treating AEO as a growth channel<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agency<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Indig<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growth Memo<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In-house teams that want research-backed strategy<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advisory<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olaf Kopp<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aufgesang<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brands selling in Germany and wider Europe<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consulting or agency<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wil Reynolds<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seer Interactive<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teams that want AI visibility measured before scaling<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agency, diagnostic first<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neil Patel<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NP Digital<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global brands running GEO alongside SEO, paid and content<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large agency<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aleyda Solis<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orainti<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multilingual and ecommerce brands<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audits, advice, training<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jason Barnard<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kalicube<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founders fixing how AI describes them<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One-on-one or done-for-you<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mike King<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iPullRank<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large sites with complex technical stacks<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agency<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><b>1.

Years of buying SEO as a marketing leader shaped his approach: every engagement starts with the questions buyers ask AI right before they book a demo, and success means appearing in those answers. He runs each audit personally, testing 40 buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity to show which competitors get named instead and what to fix first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His team then does the work, from page rewrites and schema to earning the third-party citations AI engines trust, and re-checks the same prompts every month. One B2B software client went from appearing in none of its five most important buyer prompts to all five within 60 days, and became the most recommended of eight brands in its category.

Look for a clear process and measurable movement within two to three months.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><b>How much does a GEO consultant cost?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GEO consulting costs range from a few hundred dollars for an audit to several thousand dollars a month for a done-for-you program. Among the consultants above who publish prices, Arobis AI audits start at $399, with retainers from $2,500 a month. Most others quote per project, and large agency programs typically cost more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Frequently asked questions<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>What does a GEO consultant do?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>A GEO consultant audits how AI engines describe your brand, then improves your content, entity data, and third-party mentions so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google&#8217;s AI Overviews recommend you more often.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Who is the best GEO consultant for B2B SaaS?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ran Yosef of Arobis AI is our top pick for B2B SaaS. He led marketing at five B2B SaaS companies, audits 40 buyer prompts across four AI engines himself, and his team implements the fixes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is GEO different from SEO?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes. SEO aims to rank pages in search results, while GEO aims to get your brand named inside AI-generated answers. GEO builds on SEO, because AI engines still rely heavily on pages that rank well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How long does GEO take to work?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engines that browse the web, such as Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, can reflect changes within weeks. Changes that depend on third-party sources and model updates usually take two to three months to show clearly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Should I hire a GEO consultant or an agency?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hire a consultant if your team can execute and needs senior direction. Hire an agency, or a consultant who runs a delivery team, if you need the rewrites, schema, and outreach done for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Final verdict<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you sell B2B SaaS and need to show up when buyers ask AI which vendor to choose, start with Ran Yosef.
