Hire one once you can name its deliverables and price band, because proposals for the same work range from <b>\u20ac800 to \u20ac8,000 a month<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<p>Combined SEO and GEO work typically costs \u20ac1,500\u20135,000 a month in DACH, and one agency often works better than two vendors because <b>split setups leave results unowned<\/b>.<\/p>\n<div data-rt-embed-type='true'>\n<ul>\n<li>GEO adds roughly 10% to an existing SEO retainer.<\/li>\n<li>A real GEO service delivers baseline citation report, schema plan, rebuilt cornerstone content and monthly citation scoreboard.<\/li>\n<li>Under \u20ac1,000 a month fits a freelancer or tools; \u20ac1,000\u20133,000 a hybrid; \u20ac3,000\u20138,000 a combined agency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What an SEO GEO Agency (SEO GEO Agentur) Actually Delivers Each Month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A combined agency runs two work streams on one plan. The SEO stream keeps your site crawlable and ranking on Google, while the GEO stream shapes the same pages so AI engines can lift a clean answer and credit your brand for it. Paste these rows into your RFP and ask each vendor to mark what their quote covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Deliverable<\/th><th>Side<\/th><th>Included or extra?<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Keyword and topic research<\/td><td>SEO<\/td><td>Usually included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>On-page optimization (titles, structure, internal links)<\/td><td>SEO<\/td><td>Usually included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Technical audit and ongoing fixes<\/td><td>SEO<\/td><td>Ongoing fixes included, relaunch support usually priced as a project<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Content production<\/td><td>SEO + GEO<\/td><td>Included up to an agreed monthly volume, extra pieces billed per article<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Link building and authority outreach<\/td><td>SEO + GEO<\/td><td>Included in fuller retainers, often missing from budget packages<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Monthly ranking and traffic reporting<\/td><td>SEO<\/td><td>Usually included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Baseline AI-citation report and entity audit<\/td><td>GEO<\/td><td>Often part of a one-off setup fee<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Schema as validated JSON-LD in your CMS<\/td><td>GEO<\/td><td>Usually included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cornerstone content rebuilt for extraction<\/td><td>GEO<\/td><td>Included for agreed core pages<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AI-crawler access (GPTBot, PerplexityBot) and llms.txt<\/td><td>GEO<\/td><td>Usually included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Citation and share-of-voice tracking across AI engines<\/td><td>GEO<\/td><td>Reporting included, tracking-tool licenses often billed separately<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Off-site mentions, directory work and listicle placements<\/td><td>GEO<\/td><td>Often an add-on or upper-tier item<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the GEO side, ask for output you can check. Schema should arrive as validated <i>JSON-LD<\/i> covering Organization, Article and FAQPage, plus Product or HowTo where they fit. Rebuilt pages should open each section with the answer and keep paragraphs short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citation tracking should show how often you appear inside AI answers compared with named competitors. That comparison is what <i>share of voice<\/i> means here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agencies that do this properly can show you the baseline report format, the schema plan and the scoreboard template before you sign. Watch for proposals that list keyword research, meta tags and blog posts under a fresh GEO heading, because that is classic SEO with a new label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What It Costs in 2026: Retainers, Add-Ons and Project Fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What you pay depends mostly on which of four models you buy. The SEO-only band below comes from Austrian sources. Austria has no published GEO-specific price data yet, so the GEO rows use German market figures, where prices tend to sit slightly above Austrian ones. All prices are net of VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Model<\/th><th>Typical monthly price (net)<\/th><th>Market behind the figure<\/th><th>What that buys<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>SEO-only retainer<\/td><td>\u20ac800\u20132,500 for local and regional SMBs, \u20ac3,000\u20135,000+ in competitive markets<\/td><td>Austria<\/td><td>Research, on-page, technical work, content and reporting<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GEO added to an existing SEO retainer<\/td><td>About 10% on top (a \u20ac2,000 retainer becomes roughly \u20ac2,200)<\/td><td>Germany, a provider estimate<\/td><td>A GEO layer on a working SEO base<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dedicated GEO agency<\/td><td>\u20ac2,500\u20138,000, SMB entry packages from \u20ac1,500, enterprise up to \u20ac15,000<\/td><td>Germany<\/td><td>Citation audits, entity and schema work, content remodeling, tracking<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Combined SEO+GEO agency<\/td><td>\u20ac1,500\u20135,000 for mid-market programs, with fixed packages starting below \u20ac1,000<\/td><td>Germany<\/td><td>Both streams in one plan and one report<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Austrian price guides get more granular by company size: ongoing SEO runs <b>\u20ac500\u20131,500 a month for<\/b> local small firms and \u20ac1,500\u20133,000 for mid-sized companies. Separate reporting can add \u20ac300\u20131,000. At Austrian hourly rates of \u20ac100\u2013180, a &#8220;full SEO&#8221; offer at \u20ac200 a month buys less than two hours of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two published German offers show how the combined tier gets built. seoagentur.de sells SEO+GEO packages at <b>\u20ac799, \u20ac1,399 and \u20ac2,199<\/b> net per month, cancellable monthly. Wescript charges a \u20ac1,490 setup fee, then \u20ac1,980 net per month over 12 months, split evenly between SEO topical authority and GEO optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US market is far messier. Small local GEO packages start around <b>$750\u20131,000 a month, growth<\/b> programs run $3,000\u201312,000, and enterprise programs reach $12,000\u201350,000 and up. A spread that wide is a symptom of a market without an agreed definition of what GEO includes, so compare deliverables line by line before you compare totals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At \u20ac1,500, you can expect a thin GEO layer on a solid SEO base. At \u20ac8,000, you&#8217;re paying for senior strategists and original research worth citing. That budget also covers a heavier tool stack and reporting that tracks citations prompt by prompt. Below the price range of a serious SEO retainer, the depth AI citations need (original research, structured data, authority outreach) is hard to deliver, so <b>something got cut<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>The line item nobody quotes:<\/b> A good agency tool stack costs from around \u20ac1,000 a month before anyone works a single hour, and GEO prompt tracking adds several hundred euros on top. Ask whether those licenses sit inside the retainer or arrive as a separate invoice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;d rather hold the tracking licenses yourself, register them in your company&#8217;s name and keep the data when vendors change. On pricing models, project fees suit a fixed job, and <b>GEO implementation projects typically run \u20ac5,000\u201325,000<\/b>. Retainers suit ongoing work, which citation tracking is by nature. Performance deals usually take 15\u201330% of the extra revenue attributed to AI traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-claire-slot data-claire-post=\"bb6cdca9-4966-45dd-81c0-fff9990c3033\" data-claire-i=\"0\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One Agency for Both, or Two Specialists? What Breaks When You Split<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most teams, one agency handling both streams works better, because SEO and GEO touch the same pages. In a split setup, the SEO agency briefs an article around a keyword cluster while the GEO specialist wants that same page restructured around answer-first sections and new schema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You end up approving two conflicting briefs and paying for two tool stacks. You also sign two contracts that often run 6 or 12 months each. When citations stall, each vendor points at the other, and <b>the result has no owner<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A split still makes sense when your current SEO agency is delivering and you want a narrow, time-boxed GEO project on top, such as a citation audit plus schema rollout. Keep it workable by naming one owner for every content brief and getting both vendors into the same monthly report. Keep the GEO contract short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sales-Call Checklist: Questions, Proof and Red Flags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bring these questions to every call on your shortlist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ask for one named AI citation they produced, with the prompt, engine, date and client page.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Ask for a sample monthly report showing citation frequency and competitor share of voice.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Ask whether they run a baseline citation report before you sign.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Ask which schema types they implement and how they validate them.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Ask who writes and edits your content, and request a call with those people.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Ask how they handle entity consistency and AI-crawler access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI answers shift between prompts and users, so ask for the exact prompt list behind any claim and re-run prompts in a logged-out browser before the second call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Agency, Freelancer, Tool or Autopilot: Which Fits Your Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your monthly budget and the hours your team can give this work decide the route. Find your row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Monthly budget<\/th><th>Team situation<\/th><th>Best-fit route<\/th><th>What it looks like<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Under \u20ac1,000<\/td><td>No dedicated marketer, or one stretched generalist<\/td><td>Freelancer, tool stack or AI content autopilot<\/td><td><b>DACH freelancers charge \u20ac60\u2013120 an hour<\/b> or \u20ac600\u20131,500 a month for a content package<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u20ac1,000\u20133,000<\/td><td>One marketing manager who can brief and review<\/td><td>Hybrid: tool subscription plus one or two specialist freelancers<\/td><td>Tools at \u20ac150\u2013300 a month, the rest goes to freelancers<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u20ac3,000\u20138,000<\/td><td>Small team with no spare time for weekly AI monitoring<\/td><td>Combined SEO+GEO agency<\/td><td>One plan and one report, with 6\u201312 month minimum terms<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u20ac8,000+<\/td><td>Several markets, product lines or languages<\/td><td>Enterprise program<\/td><td>Custom tracking, gap analysis and PR. Comparable US programs run $12,000\u201350,000+<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An agency is clearly worth the higher price when you need a large volume of content produced in parallel, nobody internally can watch AI citations weekly, or SEO, GEO and PR have to move together across several channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below that, the cheaper routes cover real ground. A freelancer suits a clearly scoped job or a team that already has in-house marketers. A tool stack suits a marketer who wants to run the monitoring personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For teams with no editorial capacity at all, <a href=\"https:\/\/byclaire.co\/\">Claire<\/a> is an AI agent that researches, writes and publishes content for Google and AI search engines like ChatGPT, <b>from \u20ac200 a month<\/b>. It runs in Autopilot mode, or in Copilot mode if you want to steer topics and drafts yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contract Terms, Timelines and What You Must Supply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minimum terms of 6 or 12 months are common in DACH agency contracts, and some vendors add a one-off setup fee on top. A long term only hurts when it comes with no exit point and no defined deliverables. Some agencies sell monthly-cancellable packages and offer discounts of up to 20% for longer commitments, so <b>trade a 12-month term for price<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get it in writing that you own all content, schema code and reports. Your analytics, Search Console and tracking accounts should be registered to your company. Backlinks earned on real third-party sites usually stay after you leave. Paid or rented placements can vanish with the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Clause to request:<\/b> &#8220;All content, structured-data code, reports and tool accounts created under this agreement belong to the client and are handed over in full within 14 days of termination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technical and schema fixes typically ship in the first weeks. First AI citations can appear within a few weeks to a few months, because engines that pull live web results can pick up a rewritten page quickly. New rankings commonly take three to six months, and leads follow after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask for a monthly report that shows citation frequency per engine and your share of voice against named competitors, with rankings and organic leads in the same document. Month six is a fair checkpoint: if neither citations nor rankings have moved from the baseline and the report can&#8217;t explain why, reconsider the vendor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even full-service agencies need your time. Expect to approve topics and sit for subject-matter interviews. Someone also has to grant CMS access and review drafts on schedule. Plan on <b>four to twelve hours monthly<\/b>, with month one heavier because of onboarding and baseline sign-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">De-Risking the Decision: Start With a 60\u201390 Day Pilot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Propose a paid <b>60\u201390 day pilot as<\/b> your opening ask. Scope it tightly with a baseline citation check across an agreed prompt list and a defined set of fixes, such as schema plus three to five rebuilt cornerstone pages. Close with a re-check against the same prompts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agree the success criteria up front: citations gained on named prompts, schema validated without errors and pages live on schedule. If the pilot hits them, a longer retainer becomes an easy yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Austrian buyers should settle local questions in the same conversation. Ask whether the prompt list and content will run in German, and <b>test German prompts separately<\/b>. Weigh local against international agencies on that point and on price, using the Austrian SEO bands above as your baseline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also confirm that every quote is net of VAT. In Austria, <b>B2B prices are quoted<\/b> net and the standard rate is <a href=\"https:\/\/rechnungsheld.at\/tools\/brutto-netto-rechner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">20% VAT<\/a>, so a \u20ac1,000 net fee from an Austrian agency arrives as a \u20ac1,200 invoice, with the VAT reclaimable as input tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An agency based in another EU country invoices net under <a href=\"https:\/\/kalkuel.at\/unternehmensratgeber\/reverse-charge-oesterreich\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">the reverse-charge procedure<\/a>: your company reports the <b>20% Austrian VAT itself<\/b> and claims it back as input tax at the same time. The cash effect is mostly neutral, but the timing matters for your budget plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Next 48 Hours: From Shortlist to Signed Pilot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The one thing a vendor can&#8217;t prepare overnight is an existing, named citation it earned for a real client. Pitch decks, frameworks and GEO vocabulary can all be polished in an evening, so proof is your filter. Today, pick two or three vendors from the price band that matches your budget and book the calls. Run the checklist on each one, then open the negotiation with the <b>60\u201390 day pilot from<\/b> this guide. A vendor confident in its work will take that deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many prompts should a pilot track?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around 20\u201330 prompts across three AI engines is a workable pilot set. Pick the questions your buyers actually ask before they buy, and freeze the list at the baseline so the re-check compares like with like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can a small local business justify paying for GEO at all?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually, yes, once the SEO basics are in place. For small local clients, the GEO share can sit in the low double digits of euros per month on top of a working SEO retainer. Without that base, fix the SEO fundamentals first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does a performance-based GEO deal protect my budget?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rarely on its own. Revenue from AI answers is hard to attribute because many AI referrals arrive without clean tracking, so your fee rests on a number you can&#8217;t fully check. Agree the measurement method in writing before you agree the percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should we produce content in German, English or both?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Match the language your buyers use when they ask AI tools for advice. A DACH-only B2B company usually needs German first. If you sell internationally, budget for both and track prompts in each language separately, since visibility in one may not carry over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who should own the agency relationship internally?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One named person with authority to approve topics and drafts, usually the marketing lead or head of growth. Shared ownership slows reviews and hands the agency an easy excuse when deadlines slip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-claire-slot data-claire-post=\"bb6cdca9-4966-45dd-81c0-fff9990c3033\" data-claire-i=\"1\"><\/div>\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/app.byclaire.co\/cta.css\" data-claire-css=\"1\">\n<script src=\"https:\/\/app.byclaire.co\/cta.js\" data-claire-loader async defer><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An SEO GEO agency (in German, an SEO GEO Agentur) handles your Google rankings and gets your brand cited inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity and\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":296,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[131],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>SEO &amp;
