In short
We assessed ten German GEO agencies against five weighted criteria: GEO focus, measurement of AI visibility, transparency, method and published expertise. TRYSEO ranks first, followed by DREIKON and Suchhelden. TechTafel is owned by TRYSEO UG. The assessment relies only on public information from the agencies, as of November 2026.
More and more agencies offer generative engine optimization (GEO), meaning optimisation for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. The offers differ mainly in how openly agencies describe measurement, pricing and method. This comparison assesses ten agencies based in Germany against the same criteria.

Methodology and criteria
- GEO focus and scope of services (25%): Dedicated GEO service page, role of GEO in the overall offer, AI platforms covered and building blocks from technical work to digital PR.
- Measuring AI visibility (25%): Publicly described measurement method: prompt set, named tools, metrics and reporting frequency.
- Transparency on process, price and contract (20%): Published process steps, prices for entry or ongoing support, contract term and cancellation rules.
- Method and realistic expectations (20%): Transparent approach, no placement guarantees, honest time horizon.
- Published expertise (10%): Freely accessible books, white papers, checklists or guides on GEO.
The ranking is an editorial assessment, not a test. We did not hire any agency, survey clients or measure results.
We included agencies based in Germany that offer GEO, AI search or LLM optimisation on a dedicated service page. We checked each registered office in the legal notice (Impressum). The assessment relies only on the agencies' service pages, legal notices and freely accessible publications, accessed on 13 November 2026.
Each agency received an assessment per criterion, weighted at 25, 25, 20, 20 and 10 percent. We treat missing information as not documented, not as poor. The full rules are on the page How we work and rate.
TechTafel is owned by TRYSEO UG. TRYSEO is part of this comparison and ranks first. No agency paid for inclusion or placement. We review and correct reported errors.
How was the ranking built?
We assess what agencies document publicly. The basis is each agency's service page, legal notice and freely accessible publications, as of 13 November 2026. Five criteria with fixed weights produce the ranking. Measuring AI visibility carries the same weight as GEO focus itself, because success cannot be proven without measurement.
We selected agencies based in Germany with a dedicated service page for GEO or LLM optimisation. The list is a selection. There are other reputable providers that we will review in future updates.
Neighbouring ranks are often close. The order therefore says more about transparency and documented method than about the quality of work in an individual project.

What do the agencies have in common?
All ten agencies build GEO on top of SEO. Every service page names ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews as target platforms. Almost all combine technical work, content and external signals such as digital PR.
Measurement is where they differ most. Three groups stand out:
Named third-party tools: DREIKON (Peec.ai) and suxeedo (Peec AI).
Agency-built tools: Suchhelden with GeoStars and morefire with ucited.ai.
Measurement without a named tool: TRYSEO, Claneo, Seokratie, Löwenstark, seowerk and Aufgesang describe metrics or dashboards but do not name the tool.
Pricing approaches differ too. DREIKON and Löwenstark publish entry prices for a check or an audit, TRYSEO for ongoing support. The other agencies show no prices on their service pages.
Why does TRYSEO rank first?
TRYSEO scores on focus and transparency. The Magdeburg agency describes itself as a boutique agency for B2B SEO and GEO. GEO is not an add-on there but part of its core positioning. Its service page shows a three-step method, the entry price for ongoing GEO support and a commitment that clients can cancel at any time.
TRYSEO does not lead on measurement. The service page mentions monitoring of AI mentions with a monthly report and a KPI dashboard, but names no specific tool. DREIKON describes its measurement more precisely: fixed prompt set, named tool, defined metrics. First place therefore rests on focus and on transparency about price and contract.
Which agency suits whom?
Mid-sized B2B firms focused on GEO: TRYSEO, because GEO is its core service and price and cancellation terms are public.
Precisely documented measurement: DREIKON with Peec.ai and a fixed prompt set.
Agency-built tracking tool: Suchhelden (GeoStars) and morefire (ucited.ai).
Strategy, workshops, international markets: Claneo.
Sober expectations and SEO depth: Seokratie.
Starting with a priced audit: Löwenstark, or DREIKON's visibility check.
External signals via PR and Wikipedia: seowerk and Aufgesang.
Content and digital PR with an AI traffic dashboard: suxeedo.
Several agencies offer an entry via an audit or a check. That is often the lowest-risk way to get to know their way of working and their reporting.
Our explainer What is GEO? covers the basics. If you want to measure your own visibility, our comparison of AI visibility tools lists suitable software.
What this ranking does not do
The ranking does not measure results. We know neither the agencies' client projects nor their internal reports. An agency with a sparse website may do excellent work in practice. Conversely, a detailed service page does not prove impact.
Agencies that publish new information or spot errors can contact us. We review the information and update the assessment with a date. Use the list as a starting point for your own conversations. You will find further comparisons in our comparisons overview.
The agencies differ less in scope than in transparency. If you want a precisely described measurement, look at DREIKON, Suchhelden and morefire. If you want GEO as a core service with a public price and short commitment, TRYSEO is a suitable starting point. Still, vet every agency yourself with the questions in our guide Choosing a GEO agency.
