Best GEO and AEO Agencies for Cybersecurity Companies in 2027

Originally published · Updated

[ TL;DR ]

Key takeaways

  • Seven agencies: Compare onsite delivery, offsite work, content formats, and practitioner involvement before selecting a cybersecurity GEO partner.
  • Expertise varies: IOD uses expert-directed production, Draft.dev uses engineers, and Agile describes editorial production with SME review.
  • Offsite scope varies: IOD runs practitioner-supported community programs and review-profile maintenance, while Amplifyed describes backlinks without community work.
  • Monitoring tools differ: Agile and iPullRank use Profound, while Airfleet and IOD use their own platforms.
  • Compare total fees: Published starting prices cover different scopes, so give every shortlisted agency the same assignment.

Tech marketers planning next year’s go-to-market should rank LLM visibility higher on their list. Whether you’re a new cybersecurity startup, ready to scale, or an enterprise lacking the right in-house skills, review this round-up of relevant GEO/AEO vendors.

What GEO work covers: onsite, offsite, content, expertise

A GEO proposal should connect changes to your website, external coverage, production, technical judgment, and measurement.

Onsite

Site structure, crawler access, and schema affect how systems find and interpret your pages, as our GEO guide explains. Answer-ready pages need clear claims, supporting evidence, and refreshes when product details change. Put implementation ownership beside each proposed fix, including changes that require your developers.

Offsite

Earned media, PR coverage, community discussions, and review sites can supply the external evidence AI assistants use. Naming Reddit or a publication establishes a proposed channel. Running it requires someone to prepare contributions, secure placements, handle responses, and correct outdated claims.

Content

Plan comparisons, tutorials, case studies, and video around the questions buyers ask AI assistants. Specify monthly production volume and reserve capacity for refreshes. For example, a cloud security comparison should explain integration requirements and deployment limits, then change when the product changes.

Expertise

Separate the person drafting an asset from the person responsible for checking its technical claims. For security buyers, a useful validation test is whether the reviewer can explain an identity permission boundary and verify the example. Identify where that judgment enters the brief, outline, and final approval.

Measurement

Track brand mentions, linked citations, and answer accuracy against a defined prompt set and measurement baseline. Require the tool name, covered engines, and sampling dates in reports. Keyword rankings measure search position, while citation tracking records whether an assistant used your content as a source.

Seven agencies with different production models

Start with the work your team needs delivered. These profiles distinguish published services from details you’ll need to establish during evaluation.

IOD (iamondemand.com): Tel Aviv, Israel

Agile (agile.agency): Givat Shmuel, Israel

Gilad David Maayan, Founder & CEO of Agile

Gilad David Maayan, Founder & CEO

Founded Agile in 2010 after managing technical content projects for Oracle, SAP, and Check Point.

Agile, formerly Agile SEO, has provided search services for B2B technology brands since 2010. It reports work for 250+ brands and production of 25,000+ articles. About half its client mix is cybersecurity, according to its homepage. Its marketing-led model uses an editorial team with SME review. The described process lacks security practitioner direction, so validate cybersecurity skills before commissioning technical content.

  • Onsite: Its AIO/GEO service covers discoverability audits, crawler access, schema, site structure, internal linking, and performance. The current deliverables list explicitly includes llms.txt and markdown for AI agents. Its service page lists no dedicated entity-page deliverable, leaving coverage of security product entities to confirm.
  • Offsite: The published outreach scope includes citation building, inbound and outbound digital PR, and Reddit citation seeding. Its placement deliverable targets mentions on pages that AI engines cite in the client’s category. Request target publications and community responsibilities.
  • Content: Agile lists learning centers, landing pages, solution pages, and content refreshes. Its listed formats lack long-form assets such as white papers and research reports, leaving research-heavy security campaigns without a defined deliverable. Request a security comparison brief and monthly production allocation.
  • Expertise: Its editorial team writes content with SME review, including an explicit review step for technical content. The reviewed pages identify no assigned security practitioner credentials. Validate the team’s cybersecurity knowledge and skills with a relevant sample and the proposed reviewer’s background.
  • Facts: Best for: coordinated B2B search programs, with Profound Enterprise included in every engagement. Its weekly tracking covers ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, and Claude. Pricing: Its site provides no rate, so request a quote separating production and outreach to budget your security program.

Reported results: Agile reports AI visibility increasing from 19% to 40% after four listing articles, and 28% to 56% after citation outreach. Both are company-reported results for unnamed clients.

Airfleet (airfleet.co): Tel Aviv, Israel

Elad Hefetz, CEO of Airfleet

Elad Hefetz, CEO

Technology and marketing professional with a decade focused on creating and optimizing B2B technology websites.

Airfleet creates and optimizes websites for B2B technology brands. Its GEO program combines website work, content production, and third-party coverage in a quarterly action plan. Client SME interviews supply content expertise, but its service description lacks security practitioner validation, leaving technical approval to clarify.

  • Onsite: Its GEO service covers quarterly audits, on-page work, and a custom CDN that serves markdown to AI bots. Its GEO page defines no specific llms.txt or schema deliverables, leaving those implementation responsibilities unclear. Request a CDN deployment and maintenance plan.
  • Offsite: Airfleet combines link building, community participation, review-profile maintenance, video, and media outreach. Request channel priorities and identify who supplies customer evidence.
  • Content: The Content Pipeline Platform supports keyword research through article publication, while the service also describes authority pages and thought leadership. AI Context Pages are another named offering for brand, product, and category information. Ask how these pages fit your product content.
  • Expertise: Airfleet interviews clients’ subject matter experts on camera and turns their contributions into multiple assets. Its site describes no security practitioner approval of each asset, leaving security claims without a defined specialist check. Ask who validates repurposed material and how much review time your specialists should reserve.
  • Facts: Best for: website-centered B2B technology programs combining technical delivery and content. Its GEO service describes no cybersecurity specialization, so confirm relevant domain experience. Airfleet’s proprietary platform tracks brand presence across ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity.

Draft.dev (draft.dev): Chicago and Naperville, Illinois, US

Karl Hughes, Founder of Draft.dev

Karl Hughes, Founder

Former CTO who founded Draft.dev in 2020 to produce technical content grounded in engineering expertise.

Draft.dev produces technical content and growth programs for developer tools and platforms. Its AEO/GEO service combines product research, technical content, and distribution through developer channels. Engineers check technical accuracy and test code. The service targets developer tools and lacks a described cybersecurity specialization, so validate security expertise separately.

  • Onsite: Its AEO/GEO service includes content audits, competitor research, and updates to existing pages. Its service page describes no sitewide technical implementation, leaving crawler access and site template changes for your security site to scope separately.
  • Offsite: Draft.dev distributes content on Dev.to, Hashnode, and Coder Legion. Its developer influencer network also shares the material, extending distribution beyond the client’s website. Request distribution responsibilities and reporting for each asset.
  • Content: Published formats include explainers, tutorials, code samples, and content refreshes. Its AEO/GEO formats lack an explicit long-form, research-heavy cybersecurity offering, such as security white papers or original research reports. Confirm those deliverables for campaigns needing evidence beyond tutorials. Draft.dev does describe deep research, technical guides, and gated assets, so assess relevant samples.
  • Expertise: Its network of engineers and subject matter experts checks technical accuracy and builds and tests code. Technical editors then polish the work against the client’s brand guidelines. For a DevSecOps assignment, ask who tests the example and which security assumptions the reviewer will check.
  • Facts: Best for: developer tools needing GEO/AEO content and distribution. It tracks monthly mentions and citations alongside traffic and leads. The service names no monitoring tool, so request engine coverage and a report to assess tracking for security-specific prompts. Pricing: From $9,000/month, three-month minimum.

Published starting prices cover different scopes. Request a total fee that separates agency work, software access, production volume, and any additional distribution spending.

Use a concrete assignment to test the proposal. A product comparison for a security architect needs a different brief from an executive article about category strategy.

Ask each agency to show what it would deliver for that assignment and what your team must supply. Compare those commitments before negotiating volume discounts.

How to choose a GEO/AEO agency for cybersecurity

Onsite

Which changes will you implement on our site, and which need our developers? Who owns deployment and verifies that each fix works?

Offsite

Which channels will you run, and can you show a recent placement with the steps that produced it? Who approves contributions and handles responses or corrections?

Content

Which formats, monthly volumes, revisions, and refreshes does the fee cover? What would you deliver for one assignment from our backlog, including design and publishing?

Expertise

Who writes and validates our content, and what relevant security work can they show? At which stages can the technical validator reject a claim or change the brief?

Measurement

Can you show a report with the tool, engines, prompt set, dates, citations, and conversion events? What will you change if the pilot shows no improvement?

[ FAQ ]

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a GEO agency guarantee AI citations?

Treat guaranteed placement in AI answers as an unsupported promise. Our GEO guide explains why specific formatting and schema choices don’t guarantee citations.

Should my security team approve agency content?

Set an escalation rule for unpublished research, sensitive architecture details, and claims that require internal approval. Keep those approvals assigned so the publishing calendar reflects the time they need.

What should a cybersecurity GEO pilot include?

Choose one buyer problem and agree on a start date, delivery schedule, and decision date. Define success and renewal conditions before work starts, including what happens if the evidence remains inconclusive.

Who owns content and monitoring data when an engagement ends?

Specify content rights, source files, account access, prompt sets, and historical exports in the agreement. Request a sample export so your team can assess whether it will remain usable after handover. If you’re evaluating GEO and AEO agencies for a cybersecurity program, talk to IOD about expert-directed content and GEO distribution for your brand.
