Journey Further
Journey Further is a marketing agency with a flagship office at Leeds Dock and further offices in Manchester, London and New York. Founded in 2017, it groups search, PR and paid media under practices it calls marketing science, organic media and paid media.
Its organic media service page names generative engine optimisation and answer engine optimisation directly, and describes a proprietary discovery system that scores brand visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Its careers page names the Leeds Dock office as the company's flagship location.
You want AI visibility work run alongside SEO and paid media by one team rather than bought as a bolt-on.
- Names GEO and AEO as distinct disciplines on its own service page rather than only in blog content
- Publishes a named methodology for measuring AI visibility rather than only claiming to offer it
- Four offices give access to a larger specialist bench than a single-city shop
- Leeds is the flagship office but the agency also runs Manchester and London, so confirm which team would handle your account
- No project minimum or pricing is published
Modo25
Modo25 is a Leeds performance marketing agency registered on Neville Street in the city centre. Alongside paid media and conversion work it sells organic search services including technical SEO, digital PR and a dedicated AI search offering.
It runs a dedicated AI search page describing a four-phase method covering discovery, entity building, technical and content optimisation, and ongoing refinement, aimed at five named surfaces, with monthly reporting on AI citations. It is one of only two agencies here with AI search written up as a concretely described named service.
You run an ecommerce or retail brand and want AI visibility reported alongside existing paid search and SEO metrics.
- Publishes a step-by-step AI search method naming five target surfaces rather than a generic pitch
- Registered office confirmed in Leeds city centre on the companies register, with a local phone number
- Backs its reporting with an in-house data platform rather than manual reporting alone
- No street address appears on the live site itself, only a Leeds phone number and the register filing
- No case study results specific to the AI search service, and no founding year, are published
Prohibition
Prohibition is a Leeds PR and communications agency on Sovereign Street with more than 25 years in the market. It has built a dedicated generative engine optimisation service on top of its PR and content work rather than offering traditional keyword SEO.
Its GEO page sets out a three-step process covering an AI visibility audit, earned media and citable content, and measurement of what it calls share of answer, aimed at four named surfaces. The page also states it will not promise a placement in ChatGPT, and suggests using that as a way to test other vendors, a caveat none of the other Leeds GEO pages carry.
Your AI visibility problem is really a reputation and earned-coverage problem rather than a technical SEO one.
- Describes a concrete three-step GEO process rather than a single vague AI claim
- Explicitly declines to promise placement in any specific AI answer, and flags that as a test to apply to other vendors
- Cites an external checkable claim about its own PR citation ranking rather than only self-reported results
- Does not sell traditional keyword or technical SEO, so it is not a fit if you need core organic work alongside GEO
- No founding year, project minimum or GEO-specific case study is published
How we ranked these agencies
- Whether GEO is a named service on the agency's own site, not a blog topic
- Third-party review score on Clutch, GoodFirms or G2 where published
- Named services and a clear, public description of the offer
- Company longevity and team size
- Fit for enterprise versus small and mid-size brands
- Pricing transparency
- Evidence of real, named client work
Every agency listed is real and operating. Founding years, ratings and services come from the agency website or a third-party review platform, verified 2026-09-17. Where a figure is not published, the page says so rather than estimating.
Why work with a GEO agency in Leeds
Three of the seven sell GEO as a named, concretely described service, and one of those sells GEO without selling traditional SEO at all, so it appears in the GEO listing here but not the SEO one. Only one names AEO directly, which is why Leeds has no AEO page.
One of the city's best-known SEO names, founded in Leeds in 2005, is no longer an independent Leeds agency. It joined a global media network in 2021 and merged into a three-city brand in 2025, which thins the pool of independently run Leeds search specialists.
Several agencies here pair a genuine Leeds office with a larger London, Manchester or Sheffield one. Confirm which office and which team would actually run your account before signing.
Nobody in this market publishes pricing. Across all seven, cost is quote-only after a discovery call or audit, so budget comparison means seven separate conversations.
None of the seven publish day rates, retainer minimums or project price bands on their own sites. Pricing across the group is quote-only after a discovery call or audit.
