AI search is rewriting how buyers research brands — and agencies that add AEO as a service line are capturing a new recurring revenue stream with zero new tools required.
AI search — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews — is now part of how every B2B buyer researches vendors before they talk to sales. Agencies that can't track or optimize this channel are leaving a significant billable gap in their service offerings.
AEO for agencies is the practice of tracking and improving client brand visibility in AI-generated answers, then delivering those metrics in client reports. Agencies charge $200–$500/month per client for this service using tools like AnswerMap.
Early-mover agencies are charging $200–$500/month per client for AEO visibility tracking and reporting, added on top of existing retainers. With 10 clients, that's $2,000–$5,000 in incremental monthly recurring revenue with zero additional headcount.
