Best AI Visibility Agencies (2026): Who Publishes a Price

The strange thing about AI visibility as a category is that the prices are easy to find and wildly far apart. You can buy something described as AI visibility for $99 a month or for $6,950 a month, and both descriptions are accurate. The difference is not quality. It is how much of the work a human does.

This list sorts providers by which of the three products they sell and records exactly what each publishes.

Disclosure: MentionAgent is our own product. It is outreach software, not an AI visibility agency, so it is not ranked among the providers below. It appears at the end because the fix these agencies diagnose is usually third-party mentions, which is what we do. We also publish our own measurement of assistant mention rates.

The three products, priced

Verified on each provider's own site on 26 August 2026. Prices move; re-check before you budget. "None stated" means no number was visible to us, not that it is cheap.

1. Orange Marketing: the full rate card

Product: Done-for-you AEO across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude.

Pricing: $6,950 for Quick Wins AEO, an assessment and audit. $6,950 per month for Essential AEO Implementation on a three-month programme.

Based at Bayside Drive in Newport Beach, California. The monthly programme's stated deliverables are unusually concrete for this category: schema markup recommendations, FAQ sections, one pillar page plus four supporting posts, knowledge blocks and image alt text across a set number of pages. Publishing a full two-tier rate card in a market this young is rare and creditable.

Best for: Companies that want the work done and want the budget question settled before the first call.

Trade-offs: Read the deliverables closely. Most of what is listed is on-site work, and on-site work alone does not produce third-party mentions, which is the mechanism that drives citation. Ask what share of the retainer earns external coverage.

2. WISLR: consulting with a published number

Product: AI-integrated consulting practice, plus LLM traffic monitoring and analytics with a free tier.

Pricing: $1,500 one-time for a full AI visibility dashboard audit with a strategy session. $3,500 per month for ongoing strategy with a dedicated consultant.

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, serving nationally. WISLR states that it bills differently from traditional agencies, with the invoice tracking the size of the result rather than team headcount. The $1,500 audit is one of the few genuinely low-commitment entry points into paid help in this category.

Best for: Companies that want expert judgement on which prompts matter before committing to a monthly programme. The audit is a sensible first purchase.

Trade-offs: Result-linked billing only works if the result is defined tightly in writing. Get the definition, the measurement method and the exclusions agreed up front.

3. Cognizo: the bridge between software and service

Product: Platform for AI search optimisation, with a done-for-you tier layered on top.

Pricing: Platform from $499 per month. Done-for-You from $899 per month, where the service handles research, content publishing and lead generation. Enterprise is custom, with a dedicated strategist.

A US company that also partners with agencies. The interesting part of the pricing is the $400 step between running it yourself and having it run for you, which is the clearest published answer anywhere to what the labour in this category is actually worth at the entry level.

Best for: Teams who want to start self-serve and keep the option to hand over execution without changing vendor.

Trade-offs: Automated content publishing is the part to interrogate. Ask what gets published, where, under whose name, and whether any of it lands on third-party sites rather than your own.

4. Profound: the cheapest real entry point

Product: Platform for monitoring and optimising brand presence across AI answer engines including ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude.

Pricing: Starter $99 per month, Growth $399 per month (both billed yearly with two months free), Enterprise custom.

Profound positions itself as a full-stack marketing platform rather than a point tool, and it is the best-known name in the category. At $99 a month the Starter tier is the lowest-friction way to establish a baseline before spending anything on people.

Best for: Anyone who has not measured yet and wants a real dashboard rather than a spot check.

Trade-offs: It is measurement. It tells you where you stand and does not go and earn you mentions. Budget for the fixing separately or the subscription becomes a monthly reminder of a problem.

5. Searchable: measurement with benchmarking

Product: Platform for tracking brand visibility across AI search engines, with competitive benchmarking, content recommendations and technical audits.

Pricing: Plans from $125 per month up to $400 per month, with a 14-day free trial.

Self-service rather than an agency. The competitive benchmarking is the differentiator worth paying attention to, because knowing that a named competitor is cited where you are not is a far more actionable finding than your own score in isolation.

Best for: Companies in a defined competitive set who want to track relative position rather than an absolute number.

Trade-offs: Same limit as any platform. It identifies gaps rather than closing them, and the free trial is long enough to establish a baseline but not to show movement.

6. Visibly AI: EU-based, price not stated

Product: SEO automation and market intelligence through an agent system, covering a browser assistant, automated content, an MCP server and a presence dashboard.

Pricing: Not stated on the page we checked. A free registration and trial are offered.

EU-based, with EU data location called out explicitly and a German-language option. That data-residency point is the reason to shortlist it if you have European compliance requirements that rule out US-hosted tooling.

Best for: European companies with data residency constraints.

Trade-offs: The offer is broader SEO automation with AI presence as one component, so it is less focused on assistant visibility than the specialists above. We could not verify pricing ourselves and are recording that rather than guessing.

7. Hamster Garage: the agency that publishes the rankings

Product: An agency, whose ranked guides to this category rank on multiple AI visibility searches.

Pricing: None published for its own services on the pages we checked.

Worth naming for the same reason PRovoke Media is worth naming in PR: some of the highest-ranking results for these searches are lists written by participants in the market. Hamster Garage's guide is genuinely useful and cites real prices for the providers it covers, and it is written by a competitor of the firms it ranks. Read it, and read it knowing that.

Best for: A cross-check on any shortlist, including this one.

Trade-offs: A ranking published by a market participant is not neutral, and an agency that does not publish its own price while publishing everyone else's is worth noticing.

Also worth knowing: the top organic result for this search is a Reddit thread, with a Forbes article close behind. Neither is a provider. In a category this young, community opinion is outranking every vendor page, which tells you buyers do not yet trust vendor claims here.

What the pricing spread actually tells you

Software is not competing with agencies on price, it is competing on scope. $99 buys measurement. $6,950 buys measurement plus judgement plus execution. Comparing them as if they were the same product is the most common mistake in this category.

The published gap between self-serve and done-for-you is $400 a month at Cognizo. That is the only clean published read anywhere on what the labour costs at entry level, and it is a useful anchor when an agency quotes several thousand for what sounds like the same thing.

Nearly every offer is weighted toward on-site work, and the mechanism is off-site. Schema, FAQ blocks and knowledge panels help an assistant parse a page it already has. They do not get you into an answer where you are currently absent. That comes from being mentioned on sources the model already trusts.

Get the baseline before you buy anything. Our measurement across 4,598 answers puts the average brand mention rate at 4.6%. If you are near that, you are normal, and a provider presenting it as an emergency is selling.

If the diagnosis is "you need more mentions"

For most companies it will be, because that is how citation works. Assistants answer from sources they already trust, so the job is getting written about on the sites in your niche those systems draw from. It is outreach, and it is the least glamorous line in every proposal you will read.

MentionAgent is $99/mo flat. The agent finds relevant posts in your niche, looks up the author's verified email, writes a pitch tied to the specific article, and sends it once you approve it in Telegram. Follow-ups run until someone replies. No credits, no per-contact fees, no minimum term.

The honest limit: it does not decide which prompts matter in your category and it is not a strategy. If that is your gap, WISLR's $1,500 audit or a consultant is the better first purchase, and we would rather point you there than sell you the wrong thing. Our AI visibility consultant guide covers when a person beats software.
