The GEO Agency Index: which agencies AI assistants recommend

Written by Tom Fry. Reviewed by Claire Williamson. Updated . Prices checked .

What this is

Each week we ask six AI assistants 68 buying questions about getting ranked in AI answers and getting leads from them, then rank every brand they name. GEOSearch publishes the index and is scored in it, by the same rules as everyone else. Run 1 was on Sunday, 1 November 2026, and it named us in 0 of 408 answers.

The latest ranking

No run has been published yet. Run 1 was on Sunday, 1 November 2026 and run 2 is on Sunday, 8 November 2026. The table appears here after run 2. Until then the one figure we give is our own: named in 0 of 408 answers.

What our other runs show before the first week

We already run two other panels, and they show why this index is worth having. Asked which UK PR agencies help B2B technology brands appear in AI search, the assistants named only PR agencies across seven weeks. No GEO specialist appeared. Asked about tools, they named tools. Nobody owns the middle yet: who does the work.

Named for “Which UK PR agencies help B2B technology brands appear in AI search and answer engines?” across seven weeks.

The method

The index uses the method behind the UK B2B Tech PR AI Visibility Index and the PR software AI index, both of which are public.

  • Prompts. 68 scored prompts, unbranded, in the words of seven buyer types, run in UK English. 1 name the UK.
  • Wording. Each assistant is asked about itself, so ChatGPT is asked about ChatGPT and Gemini about Gemini. AI Overviews is a Google search, so it says ChatGPT, the name people type into Google.
  • Assistants and weights. ChatGPT 4, Gemini 2, Google AI Mode 1, Google AI Overviews 1, Perplexity 0.5, Grok 0.5. We publish the equal-weight rank beside the headline.
  • Share of mentions. Each brand's share of all namings per assistant, combined by weight.
  • Interval. 90%, from recalculating the numbers 1,000 times on different mixes of the prompts.
  • Exclusions. Label-only mentions and source chips do not count. Three check questions are not scored. A failed assistant run is left out rather than scored as zero.
  • Earned rank. The same ranking without answers that read a brand's own site.
  • Who ranks. Every brand named, except platforms, publications, prospecting tools and clients named in case studies. GEO tools and PR agencies stay in, because a buyer could choose one instead.

We edit each week's commentary before it publishes, and we do not edit the numbers. Disagree with a label, or want a correction? Email [email protected]. Journalists and roundup authors are welcome to quote any figure here with a link.

The monthly note

The first note, about 300 words on what moved, follows the first month of runs.

Every prompt in the panel

You can run any of these yourself. [assistant] stands for the name of the assistant you are asking. Page shows which page on this site answers each one.

The three check questions

These are not scored. If the brands named for them change by more than half, the assistant itself has changed that week, and we do not credit or blame any page.

  • Which project management tools suit a 20-person marketing agency?
  • Which UK banks offer the best business current account for a small limited company?
  • Which CRM should a 10-person consultancy use?
