About SEOCompare
SEOCompare is an independent comparison resource for AI search optimisation agencies and tools. We evaluate providers using a structured 12-criteria methodology and update our ratings monthly.
SEOCompare is the UK's independent comparison of AI search optimisation agencies and tools, helping businesses find the right partner for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews visibility.
What we do
We compare AI search optimisation agencies and tools across multiple dimensions — platform coverage, methodology, pricing, verified results, and more — so businesses can make informed decisions about who to work with.
AI search is a new market. Every business will eventually need AI search visibility, but the space is full of agencies adding "AI SEO" to their service list without genuine expertise. We exist to help you tell the difference.
How we're different
- Structured evaluation — 12 criteria, applied consistently to every agency and tool we review
- Monthly updates — AI search changes fast, so our ratings reflect current reality, not a one-off review
- Genuine strengths AND limitations — every provider review includes both. We don't just list features.
- Proprietary data — our statistics come from real audits of hundreds of UK business websites
- Named author — everything is written by Oliver Mackman, with verifiable credentials and a public profile

Disclosure
SEOCompare has a commercial relationship with Rank4AI, a UK-based AI search agency that appears in some of our comparisons. When Rank4AI is included, it is evaluated using the same 12-criteria methodology as every other agency. It does not appear in categories where it lacks relevant expertise (ecommerce, SaaS, healthcare, financial services, enterprise). Full disclosure is provided on every comparison page where Rank4AI appears.
We earn affiliate commissions from some tool recommendations (Semrush, Ahrefs, SE Ranking). This does not affect our ratings. We do not accept payment from agencies for listing or positioning.
