Opace Digital Agency
Opace is a family-run digital agency at Brindleyplace in Birmingham, trading since 2008. It offers core SEO alongside a dedicated AI search practice covering both generative and answer engine work.
It runs separate detailed service pages for generative engine optimisation and answer engine optimisation, naming Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot as targets on the GEO page. That page lists six concrete workstreams including AI Overview citation monitoring and competitor citation analysis.
You want one Birmingham firm treating AI search visibility and Google answer features as two distinct named services.
- Publishes actual SEO pricing, from a one-off audit to packages of roughly 1,500 to 3,000 pounds a month
- Runs separate detailed pages for GEO and AEO rather than one combined AI page
- Names five specific assistants it optimises for
- Describes itself as a small family-run team, so expect a boutique feel rather than a large AI search department
- Its AEO page is built around classic Google answer features such as featured snippets and People Also Ask rather than chat assistants, which are covered on the separate GEO page
RiseUp Agency
RiseUp is a multi-office UK marketing agency headquartered at Alpha Tower in Birmingham city centre, with further offices in Worcester, Manchester and London. It positions itself as an AI-first agency spanning performance, creative, web and data teams.
It lists AI optimisation and GEO as a named service alongside SEO and backs it with published methodology figures, stating that schema-rich pages are around 3 times more likely to be cited and pages tied to 15 or more recognised entities show roughly 4.8 times higher selection odds. It states it tracks AI share of voice and citation rate across five named surfaces.
You want a larger multi-discipline agency that reports on AI citation share the way it already reports on paid media.
- States a measurement stack covering AI share of voice and citation rate across five named surfaces
- Publishes quantified claims about what drives citation rather than general assurances
- Operates from four UK offices, giving more bench depth than a single-site shop
- No pricing or minimum project size is published
- Its cited multiples, including a median return figure, are not sourced to independent studies on the pages reviewed
Distribute Digital
Distribute Digital is a Birmingham digital marketing agency registered at St Paul's Square in the Jewellery Quarter, founded in 2019. It runs as a distributed team offering paid search, SEO, web design and a dedicated generative AI SEO service.
Its generative AI SEO page names five target platforms and lists seven concrete components including an AI visibility audit, entity and schema implementation, and citation building on third-party sites. It also states platform-specific citation averages, for example that Perplexity averages 6.61 citations per response against 2.62 for ChatGPT.
You want an agency treating generative AI SEO as a full audited workstream rather than an add-on line.
- Names five specific assistants with cited per-platform citation-rate figures
- Lists a seven-part process from visibility audit through to crawler access checks
- States it uses no fixed-term contracts
- Runs as a distributed team, so there is no single walk-in office and headcount is not published
- Some cited statistics are attributed to third parties without a linked source on the page reviewed
Odyssey New Media
Odyssey New Media is a Birmingham digital agency incorporated in June 2010, registered on Lichfield Road with a trading office in Selly Oak. It has run SEO, paid search and web design for over a decade and has added an AI optimisation practice.
It names AI optimisation, local AI optimisation and AI citation building as distinct services, and its AI page names four target assistants with deliverables including visibility audits and competitor AI visibility analysis. Its June 2010 incorporation is independently confirmed on the UK companies register.
You want a long-running Birmingham SEO agency that has formally added AI citation tracking rather than a newer AI-native shop.
- Trading for 15 years, with its incorporation date independently confirmed on the companies register
- Names four specific assistants on its AI optimisation page
- 4.9 out of 5 from 29 reviews on Clutch
- Its AI page leans on general claims about a greater chance of being referenced rather than the quantified method some competitors publish
- No pricing or team size is published

- Company longevity and team size
- Fit for enterprise versus small and mid-size brands
- Pricing transparency
- Evidence of real, named client work

Why work with a GEO agency in Birmingham
Four of the six already sell a named generative AI search service with specific platform targets, including Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot. You do not have to settle for a firm whose only AI credential is a blog post.
The market skews small, mostly in the 2 to 49 employee band, so expect a founder-led or small-team relationship rather than a large in-house AI search department.
Several sit within a short walk of each other around Brindleyplace, so you can see more than one option near New Street station in a single trip.
Two of the six publish prices openly, starting around 600 to 650 pounds a month, which is rarer in the UK than in the Baltic or Iberian markets.
Two of the six publish prices. One lists SEO packages from around 650 pounds a month up to 3,000 pounds, plus a 650 pound audit, and one advertises local SEO from 600 pounds plus VAT a month. The rest require a direct quote.
