Ahrefs Brand Radar is an AI visibility tool that measures brand mentions, citations and share of voice across six AI platforms for SEO professionals and marketers.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) Companies Around the World
The AEO World Map records who does answer engine optimization (AEO) and where they do it. It holds 25 AI search tools and 29 AEO agencies across 25 countries. Tools come first, in one alphabetical list, because software is bought from anywhere. Agencies follow region by region, because most of them work in their home market and their customers' language. Every entry follows the fields in our submission form, so you can compare what each company does, who it suits, who founded it and what proves it works.
How this map is built
Every company here describes an AEO, GEO or AI search visibility offer on its own website, and we read that site before writing its entry. For the tools, we have also drawn on our own in-depth reviews, where we tested the product ourselves. Nobody paid to be here and nobody was asked for a link.
This is a record, not a ranking. We do not score these companies against one another, and we do not claim the map is complete. Tools are listed alphabetically, agencies alphabetically within each region, and Generate More's own entry is marked as ours. Prices were read from each vendor's pricing page in September 2026.
AI search tools, wherever they are built
Tools cluster. The 25 on this map sit in 12 countries, and 11 of them are headquartered in the United States. They fall into three rough groups. Trackers such as Otterly.AI, LLMrefs and ZipTie tell you where you appear and where you do not. Platforms such as Promptwatch, Profound, Peec AI and Superlines add citation analysis and a list of actions. A third group, including AirOps, Writesonic, Temso AI and LightSite AI, also does the work, from rewriting pages to deploying structured data on your domain. Because a subscription travels, this list is alphabetical rather than regional.

AEO agencies in the Americas
Six of these nine sit in the United States and three do not, which is the widest single-country concentration on the map. The American firms split into two camps. iPullRank, Seer Interactive and Thrive are established search agencies that folded GEO into large practices, each with its own research or software. Daydream and Scalerrs sell AI search on newer models, one pairing agents with a human growth lead, the other working Reddit, YouTube and Wikipedia alongside Google. Outside the US, Bigbuda in Chile and Quality SMI in Brazil work mostly in Spanish and Portuguese for their home markets, and Algomizer in Canada charges only on results.

AEO agencies in Europe
Europe's AEO agencies are specialists, and no two work the same channel. Five of the seven serve B2B software, and they separate on where they go looking: Quoleady works third-party listicles, SaaStorm builds content engines, Organic Hackers goes at the technical layer of large sites, and PromptMarketing measures and engineers visibility inside the engines themselves. TERAMOK is the outlier, applying the same thinking to Greek real estate. Six countries are represented across seven agencies, and Organic Hackers straddles two of them.

AEO agencies in the Middle East and Africa
This is the part of the map where local knowledge is least substitutable, and where the mix is widest relative to its size. Digital Gravity in Dubai and Lein Digital in Istanbul run GEO inside large full-service groups with government and national brand clients. MO Agency ties AEO to HubSpot and revenue operations for South African mid-market companies. Le Roux Digital, Nairobi Marketing and SEO Smart are small founder-led teams serving businesses in their own cities, in the languages and publications those customers actually read.

AEO agencies in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific has the most measurement-led agencies on the map, and the most national-language work. Speee has filed a patent for its AI Visibility Score, Arfadia measures return with its RoGEO framework, and Hashmeta, OOm and Techmagnate each run their own tracking tools. Most serve large domestic brands in their own language, from Indian banks to Vietnamese fintech, which is work an agency elsewhere cannot easily pick up. Singularity.digital is the exception, a one-person-led SaaS specialist selling across borders.

Why the local mix matters
The two halves of this map behave differently, and the numbers say so plainly. The 25 AI search tools sit in 12 countries, and 11 of them are American. The 29 agencies sit in 20 countries, and only 6 are American.
That gap is the useful part. Software is sold across borders, so where a tool was built rarely changes what it does for you. Agency work does not travel the same way. It runs on the language your customers ask their questions in, on the publications an answer engine already trusts in your market, and on somebody being awake when you need them. An agency in Nairobi, Jakarta or Athens is not a smaller version of a New York agency. It knows which domestic publishers get cited and which ones the engines ignore, and that knowledge does not transfer.
So the regional lists are the substance of this page rather than a filing convention. If you are shortlisting, start with the section covering your own market and read outward from there. And if your country has no tile yet, that is a gap in the record rather than a verdict on the country.
How to get your company on the map
Agencies and AI search tools can introduce themselves through our form. It asks for the same fields you see on each card, from headquarters and ideal customer to capabilities, services and one case study with a specific result. We check each submission against the company's own website before it goes on the map.
Inclusion is an editorial decision by Generate More, based on our own reading of the market. It cannot be bought, and it cannot be earned with a link or a link exchange. We are particularly interested in countries that have no tile yet.

Frequently asked questions
AEO tools and agencies, answered.
The questions we get most often about this map, and about choosing between software and an agency.
What is AEO?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the work of making a brand understood, trusted and cited by AI answer engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. It covers the content on your own site and what other sites say about you, because answer engines assemble their answers from both.
Is this map a ranking?
No. It is a record of who does this work and where. Tools are listed alphabetically and agencies alphabetically within their region. We do not score these companies against one another, and a place on the map is not an endorsement of any one of them over another.
What is the difference between AEO and GEO?
The two terms describe almost the same work. GEO (generative engine optimization) was named in a 2023 research paper on improving visibility in generative engine responses, and AEO is the term more common in the SEO industry. Agencies on this map use both, often on the same page. We keep a separate list of GEO agencies.
How do I choose an AEO tool?
Start with what you will do with the data. If you have a team that can act on findings, a tracker is enough, and Otterly.AI and Scalenut start below $50 a month. If you want the tool to do some of the work, look at the platforms that write and deploy as well as measure. If you need procurement, security review and custom contracts, Profound, Brandlight and Temso AI are built for that end of the market. We have tested more than 15 of these and link our full review on each card where we have one.
Should I hire an agency in my own country?
Usually yes, if your customers search in a language other than English or in a defined national market. Answer engines lean on local publications, directories and review sites, and knowing which of those carry weight is hard-won local knowledge. If you sell globally in English, the location of your agency matters far less than its experience in your category.
Do I need an AEO agency or an AEO tool?
Start with a tool if you have a marketing team that can act on what it finds. An agency makes more sense when the fix involves positioning, content production or digital PR that your team does not have time for.
Can I pay to be included?
No. Inclusion is editorial and is never sold or traded for links.
How often is the map updated?
The map loads its entries live, so new companies appear as soon as we approve them. Details on the cards above were last checked in September 2026.
