Comparison · AI-visibility agency

A full stack, not a patchwork of tools.

Most agencies do one layer. KaiZen runs all three layers of your visibility — from Google ranking to being cited by ChatGPT — and measures them with a single index. Here's the comparison, on public facts.

  • Rank on Google and get cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity — not one without the other.
  • One partner, one score (KVS), instead of three providers that don't talk to each other.
  • Public pricing and an open barometer — you know what you're buying.

SEO Google ranking · AEO answer engines · GEO generative AI · KVS (KAIS Visibility Score), index out of 100. Reference: KAIS 2026 Barometer — 145 queries, 718 companies analyzed.

A full stack vs a patchwork

The most common way to approach AI visibility — and its blind spot.

The patchwork

SEOAn SEO agencyRanks you on Google, doesn't steer AI citations.
GEOA GEO tracking toolMeasures mentions, doesn't do the editorial work.
PRA PR freelancerBuilds authority, disconnected from SEO and structure.

→ Three invoices, three methods, no shared score.

Comparison based on public information (the agencies' own websites), verified June 2026. The published KAIS 2026 Barometer covers 3 AIs (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity); client monitoring continuously covers 4 AIs, including Claude. "Not publicly stated" means the information wasn't published on their public channels at that date — not that it is absent. Sources: SLASHR, SEO.fr, Eskimoz.

What the full stack covers

Five levers, one engagement, one score.

Layer 1

SEO

Reach Google's top 10. The foundation: 94% of Google's AI answers cite at least one top-20 page (Ahrefs, 2026).

Layer 2

AEO

Capture direct answers: featured snippets, AI Overviews, People Also Ask.

Layer 3

GEO

Get cited as a source by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini.

Pillar

Brand Authority

Press, Wikidata / Wikipedia entity, cross-source consistency that feeds the models.

Measurement

KVS score

One index out of 100, tracked continuously, backed by a public barometer.

All in one engagement, measured by one index.

Pricing transparency

Public pricing, not an opaque quote

All tiers online

Engagement tiers published on the site. Many agencies stay "on quote"; KaiZen shows its pricing, so you can compare before we even talk.

Measured proof

A public barometer, not a promise

The KAIS 2026 Barometer measures the AI visibility of 718 companies across 145 queries and 3 AI engines, with an open methodology. The same rigor we apply to your brand.

Choosing your AI-visibility agency

How do you choose a GEO agency?

Compare four verifiable points: does the agency publish a methodologically transparent AI-visibility barometer or index; does it show its pricing; does it cover the whole SEO + AEO + GEO stack; does it monitor several AI engines continuously. In a young market, transparency about method and price is the best filter.

Why a full SEO + AEO + GEO stack instead of separate providers?

Because the three layers depend on each other: 94% of Google's AI answers cite at least one page from the organic top 20 (Ahrefs, 2026) — the SEO foundation still conditions citation, even though it no longer suffices on its own. Splitting SEO across an agency, GEO across a tool and PR across a third party means three methods with no shared score. One stack aligns all three and measures them with a single index.

What's the difference between an AI-visibility specialist and an SEO agency that also offers GEO?

For a generalist SEO agency, GEO is often one line among many. A specialist makes it their core: a measured visibility index, continuous multi-AI monitoring, brand authority and sector depth. Both can lay the SEO foundation; the difference is measurement and focus.

Why prefer an agency that publishes a barometer and its prices?

Because AI visibility is steered by measurement. An agency that publishes an open-methodology barometer and a price list exposes its method instead of a black box — you know what you're buying and how the result is judged.

One full stack. One score. Public pricing.
