GEO agencies
Best GEO agencies for contractors in 2026
If you run a roofing, HVAC, plumbing, remodeling, fence or landscaping company and want ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini and Perplexity to recommend you, these are the GEO agencies worth knowing. At the end is a different option: owning the system instead of renting an agency.
The short version. For home service contractors, Hook Agency and Foxxr are the GEO agencies most focused on trades. WebFX is the big all-in-one option. LSEO is strong on getting brands into "best of" lists that AI cites. iPullRank is the expert pick for enterprise brands. All five sell GEO as an ongoing service. Own Your GEO is the alternative for contractors who'd rather own their GEO system: $5,000 once (founding price for the first 5 clients, then $10,000), no retainer, and it stays yours.

1. Hook Agency: the established contractor marketing agency
Hook Agency is a Minneapolis marketing agency built around home service companies like roofers, HVAC and plumbers. It sells websites, local SEO, Google Maps SEO, paid ads and AEO (answer engine optimization, another name for GEO). It's a good fit for a growing contractor that wants a full marketing team on retainer and is comfortable with a yearly commitment.
2. Foxxr: GEO specialists for home service contractors
Foxxr is based in St. Petersburg, Florida, and offers GEO only to home service contractors, including HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, restoration and custom builders. Its service includes AI visibility audits, schema and content work, and ongoing monitoring, sold month to month with no annual contract. Good if you want a GEO-focused team doing the work for you.
3. WebFX: the big all-in-one agency
WebFX is one of the largest US digital agencies, with about 750 staff and 30 years in business by its own count. It sells GEO and AI visibility tracking alongside everything else, using its own platforms such as OmniSEO. A fit for companies that want one large vendor across many channels.
4. LSEO: "best of" list placements
LSEO, founded by Kris Jones, sells SEO, GEO and paid media, plus a service that places brands in "best of" lists and comparisons. Since AI tools lean heavily on those lists, that's a smart lever. A fit for brands with budget for third-party placements.
5. iPullRank: the enterprise expert
iPullRank, led by Mike King, is one of the most respected names in AI search. It sells GEO, what it calls relevance engineering, and AI search strategy programs to enterprise and mid-market brands. Excellent, and usually more than a local contractor needs.
The alternative: own your GEO instead of hiring an agency
Every agency above sells GEO as a service you rent. That works, but when you stop paying, the work and the reporting stop too. Own Your GEO is built the other way around. I set up a GEO system for your company on your own accounts: a dashboard that tracks the questions homeowners ask AI across six engines, a weekly activity board that tells you what to fix next, and a content agent that writes pages aimed at the questions where AI skips you. We work through the fixes together for 30 days, then it's yours.
- Price: $5,000 once (founding price for the first 5 clients, then $10,000), plus about $150 a month in AI costs paid straight to the providers.
- Contract: no annual contract, just a simple sales agreement.
- Guarantee: 90-day money-back guarantee for clients who follow the recommendations.
- Proof: I built it for my own fence company, which became #1 in AI visibility in its city.
Which should you choose?
- You want a full marketing team and have the budget: Hook Agency or WebFX.
- You want a GEO specialist to do it all for you, month to month: Foxxr.
- You're an enterprise brand: iPullRank or LSEO.
- You're a contractor who wants AI to recommend you, without a retainer, and wants to own the system: Own Your GEO.
About the $5,000 price: $5,000 is the founding client price, available to the first 5 clients only. Once those 5 spots are filled, the Custom GEO Package goes to its regular price of $10,000.
