PBJ Marketing
PBJ Marketing is a digital marketing agency with offices on M Street in Washington DC and Varick Street in New York City. It offers paid media, SEO, web design and development, conversion work and a distinct GEO and AEO service line.
PBJ publishes a New York specific AEO service page covering answer engine optimization, AI SEO, generative engine optimization, an AI brand visibility audit and local AEO. It is a certified Google Partner, Salesforce consulting partner and Semrush agency partner, and holds a 4.9 Clutch rating from 108 reviews.
You want AEO run alongside a substantial paid search and paid social programme by one mid-market team.
- Largest verified review base of the New York agencies here at 108 Clutch reviews
- Separate GEO and AEO pages plus a New York specific AEO landing page
- Google Partner, Salesforce and Semrush partner certifications listed on site
- Clutch lists Washington DC as the primary location, so New York is the secondary office
- The site does not state a founding year or publish pricing
5WPR
5WPR is an independent communications firm headquartered on 7th Avenue in Manhattan, with additional offices in Miami and Tampa. It runs a dedicated generative engine optimization practice alongside its public relations, SEO and online reputation management work.
5WPR publishes a standalone GEO practice page listing concrete deliverables including AI visibility audits, citation baselines and monthly citation share of voice reporting across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Copilot. Its Clutch profile carries a 4.9 rating from 42 reviews.
You want AI search visibility built on earned media and third-party citation building rather than on-site SEO alone.
- Dedicated GEO practice page with named deliverables, not just a blog post
- Manhattan headquarters with the address published on site
- Pairs GEO with an established PR and reputation management practice
- Primarily a communications firm, so technical SEO depth is less evident than at search-first agencies
- The site does not publish pricing, and Clutch lists a 10,000 dollar minimum project size
Percepture
Percepture is a remote-first digital marketing and PR agency headquartered on West 40th Street in Manhattan, with additional offices in Los Angeles, New Jersey, Miami, Chicago, Seattle and Washington DC. It groups its work into paid media, earned and owned media, and digital intelligence, and offers generative engine optimization as a named service.
Its GEO service page lists specific workstreams including ChatGPT and LLM visibility, Google AI Overviews optimization, entity and knowledge graph support across Wikipedia and Wikidata, and AI visibility and sentiment reporting. The agency states a team of 43 and is a minority-owned enterprise endorsed by the National Minority Supplier Diversity Council.
You need GEO folded into an existing enterprise SEO and digital PR programme from a single supplier.
- GEO published as a formal service under the main services menu
- New York address and founding year both stated on the agency site
- Minority-owned business endorsement, useful for supplier diversity requirements
- Its Clutch profile currently shows zero verified client reviews, so third-party validation is thin
- Remote-first operating model means limited in-person presence despite the listed offices
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 New York
New York is where communications firms moved into AI search first. Several agencies below come from PR rather than SEO, which matters because third-party citations are what models actually quote.
It is also the priciest market in this directory for AI search work, with most published minimums at 10,000 dollars or above.
Published minimums run from 5,000 dollars to 10,000 dollars per project. Several agencies publish no pricing at all.
