AI Search (GEO/AEO) Businesses: 35 Verified, Median $995 MRR

Brands want to show up when people ask ChatGPT. The businesses selling that have one of the highest medians of any category we have checked.

Generative engine optimization (GEO), also called answer engine optimization (AEO), means helping a brand get mentioned in AI answers. Our directory has 35 businesses in this space with revenue verified through Stripe on TrustMRR.

The median makes $995 a month, more than three times the directory-wide median of $300 (full study). 16 of the 35 make $1,000 or more.

1. Agencies

Several agencies here work through Reddit, because AI models often cite Reddit threads. That is a real tactic, and it needs care: most subreddits ban self-promotion, and getting caught hurts the brand.

2. Visibility trackers (SaaS)

Software that asks AI models questions on a schedule and reports whether your brand comes up.

3. Agents that do the work

Why it pays

  1. Marketing budgets already exist. Buyers move SEO money here; they do not need a new budget.
  2. It is new. Few established tools, so small teams can win.
  3. It is measurable. “You appeared in 12 of 50 answers” is an easy report to sell.

Honest catches

  • Tracking is easy to copy. Many trackers now exist; prices will fall.
  • AI answers change constantly, so results are hard to promise.
  • Spammy tactics backfire. Fake reviews and fake Reddit posts can get a brand banned or called out.
