TLDR

For most Perth businesses, the right AI SEO agency runs SEO and AI answer work as one plan and names the buyer questions it tracks. Published Perth AI SEO retainers run from A$750 to A$3,999 monthly.

| If you want | Call |
| --- | --- |
| SEO, GEO and AEO shipped weekly on a site you own | Searchmaxxed |
| An award-winning search team that reports AI citations | Digital Hitmen |
| A fixed-price AI visibility sprint first | PWD |
| AI SEO prices published before the call | Search Scope |

| A website rebuilt around AI search | GEO Specialist Perth |

Comparing two or three? Ask each one the same thing: which buyer questions will you track for me, and which pages will you build in the first 90 days?

The best AI SEO agency in Perth gets you ranked in Google and named in ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews when customers search. My pick is Searchmaxxed, for a business that wants SEO, GEO and AEO done as one weekly plan on a website it owns. I'm Brenden House and I run Searchmaxxed, which is why it's first. This is my own selection, not an independent award, a survey or a measure of client satisfaction.

The other eight all sell AI SEO, generative engine optimisation (GEO) or answer engine optimisation (AEO) to Perth businesses. Each earned its place. I compare them only on what each publishes about its own scope, price and proof, and I read every page on 26 October 2026.

## Which Perth AI SEO agencies made my shortlist?

Nine providers made it. Each of the other eight publishes a Perth address or a Perth-based team, and each sells AI search work by name.

| Agency | Best for | Published pricing | AI search offer |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1. Searchmaxxed | SEO, GEO and AEO shipped weekly on your own site | Let's talk pricing | AEO and GEO in every managed package |
| 2. Digital Hitmen | An award-winning search team | Not published | GEO with AI citation reports |
| 3. PWD | A fixed-price AI visibility sprint | A$2,997 sprint; retainer not published | GEO inside the SEO retainer, monthly prompt test |
| 4. Search Scope | Published AI SEO prices | From A$1,499 monthly, ex GST | Tracked buyer questions, live prompt testing |
| 5. Daisy Digital | A long-standing local team | Not published | GEO with AI platform referral reports |
| 6. PunkFox | SEO-only specialists | Not published | Separate GEO and AEO services |
| 7. SEO Perth Expert | A one-person specialist | A$970 to A$3,300 monthly, inc GST | AI SEO listed in the top plan |
| 8. All Marketing | Senior hours, itemised | A$150 an hour + GST | GEO audit, llms.txt, GA4 assistant tracking |
| 9. GEO Specialist Perth | A GEO-first website rebuild | Retainers from A$750 monthly + GST | Schema and entity mapping, static React sites |

## How did I choose them?

I started where a Perth buyer starts. Google. I searched "ai seo perth", "ai search optimisation perth", "geo agency perth" and "ai seo agency perth" from Australia, then read what came back. Google's AI answer for "geo agency perth" named five providers: GEO Specialist Perth, Digital Hitmen, PunkFox, PWD and All Marketing. "ai seo agency perth" showed a Google Maps pack above the websites, so Google treats even an agency search in Perth as a local one.

From those results I judged every provider on the same five things, using only its own pages:

- **Perth presence:**  a published Perth address, or a named founder working in Perth.
- **A published AI search method:**  what it says it does for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers, in its own words.
- **Proof it publishes:**  case studies and figures. Each is that agency's claim.
- **Price or scope in public:**  a published price, or a clear list of what you get each month for your money.
- **How it measures AI visibility:**  tracked questions, citation reports or AI referral traffic.

This is my selection, and I run the agency in first place. It measures what each provider shows the public. Useful, but limited. It can't measure how their clients feel.

## 1. Searchmaxxed: best for SEO, GEO and AEO shipped every week on a site you own

Searchmaxxed is an SEO and AI SEO agency. We do technical SEO, local SEO, content, link building, GEO and AEO as one plan, to rank you in Google and AI answers. That's ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews. It suits an owner who wants new pages and fixes going live every week.

- **Where they are:**  We work with Perth businesses by call and screen share, and you deal with the people doing the work, not account managers. Our [Perth SEO page](https://www.searchmaxxed.com/perth) covers how we'd approach your market.
- **What they sell:**  Four managed packages. Local Search, Growth System, Agentic Search Engineering, and Custom & Enterprise each include the pages, technical fixes, schema, internal links and off-site work. It all sits on a site you own from day one. [Here's how the weekly work runs](https://www.searchmaxxed.com/managed-search-loop).
- **Proof they publish:**  My own business first. Before Searchmaxxed, I built Radiant Roof Repairs from zero to more than A$1 million a year in revenue using SEO as the only marketing channel. Three high-intent Gold Coast roofing searches reached number one within 90 days. I did the pages, research, competitor checks and updates manually. Searchmaxxed's work has generated more than A$10 million in revenue through search for its clients.
- **Pricing:**  Let's talk pricing. We recommend the scope after looking at your site, your market, your competitors and the goals you want the work to hit.
- **AI search:**  AEO and GEO come in every managed package. Agentic Search Engineering adds AI answer tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews, so you can see where you're named and where you're not.
- **Ask them:**  Which Perth buyer questions will you track for me? And which pages go live first?

## 2. Digital Hitmen: best for an award-winning search team that reports AI citations

[Digital Hitmen](https://www.digitalhitmen.com.au/seo-perth/geo/) suits a local service or ecommerce brand that wants a small, senior search team with a long awards list. Its GEO page leads with that record. The headline is its 2025 win for Standout Use of AI at the Global Digital Excellence Awards.

- **Where they are:**  Suite 1, 11 Hislop Road, Attadale, per its [contact page](https://www.digitalhitmen.com.au/contact-us/).
- **What they sell:**  SEO, PPC, web design. Its [homepage](https://www.digitalhitmen.com.au/) says you work directly with your specialist, with no account managers in between.
- **Proof they publish:**  Its GEO page links case studies headed "878% organic bookings" for Genesis Dental and "153% organic bookings" for Physio Pro. The homepage adds Search Engine Land 2025 and APAC Search Awards 2026 winner badges.
- **Pricing:**  Not published. Work starts with "a 6-month sprint to establish traction", then moves to month to month.
- **AI search:**  It first assesses where your brand appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, then builds from there. Its reports show "how often you're being cited".
- **Ask them:**  Which buyer questions will the citation report track, and how often do you rerun them?

## 3. PWD: best for a fixed-price AI visibility sprint before a retainer

[PWD](https://pwd.com.au/seo-perth/generative-engine-optimisation/) suits a business that wants a baseline and a fix list before it commits to monthly work. It has worked in digital since 2007. SEO, Google Ads and AI search optimisation all run from one team.

- **Where they are:**  West Leederville, where its [SEO page](https://pwd.com.au/seo-perth/) says it keeps "the whole SEO team".
- **What they sell:**  Web design, SEO, Google Ads and GEO, from a Google Premier Partner that also holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification.
- **Proof they publish:**  Two headline results. Its SEO page shows Fortawall at "4x Monthly Traffic" in 8 months, and Birds Eye Media at "+116% Total users in an 8 month period". It also shows 4.7 stars from 154 Google reviews.
- **Pricing:**  The [AI Visibility Accelerator](https://pwd.com.au/ai-visibility-accelerator/) is A$2,997, fixed, delivered in 14 business days, with a 30-day re-check afterwards to see what held. Retainer prices are not published.
- **AI search:**  A monthly prompt test across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode. PWD says consistent AI referencing "typically takes 3 to 6 months".
- **Ask them:**  PWD's own advice works here. Ask for a client's before-and-after prompt log.

## 4. Search Scope: best for AI SEO prices you can see before the call

[Search Scope](https://searchscope.com.au/ai-seo-perth/) suits a Perth local business that wants to know the price first. Dorian Menard founded it in 2021 after doing SEO in Perth since 2013, and he still works on each account himself.

- **Where they are:**  Perth. Its page shows 5.0 stars across 38 Google reviews.
- **What they sell:**  An AI visibility audit, an "Entity Foundation" cleanup of your business facts and listings, and monthly AI SEO. If it already runs your SEO, it says the AI work comes built in.
- **Proof they publish:**  Its own research. It looked at businesses recommended across three or four AI systems and says "52% sat in the Google organic top 10" for the same question. Of businesses never recommended, 1.5% did.
- **Pricing:**  Audit A$1,500 one-off, or A$3,000 for ecommerce and multi-location. Entity Foundation from A$1,950. Monthly from A$1,499 for local businesses and A$3,999 for high-competition markets, ex GST, month to month.
- **AI search:**  15 tracked buyer questions on the local plan and 50 on the high-competition plan. The local plan reports Google AI Overviews rather than targeting them.
- **Ask them:**  Is Google AI Overviews reachable for my business yet? If not, what would change that?

## 5. Daisy Digital: best for a long-standing local team that reports AI referrals

[Daisy Digital](https://daisydigital.com.au/geo/) suits a business that wants SEO, GEO and Google Ads from one Perth team it can stay with for years. Its clients stay. Reviews on its GEO page come from clients of 11, 16 and 17 years.

- **Where they are:**  3/224 Carr Place, Leederville, per its [contact page](https://daisydigital.com.au/contact/).
- **What they sell:**  SEO, GEO, Google Ads, websites and social media, with client logos on its [homepage](https://daisydigital.com.au/) that include Revo Fitness and Perth College.
- **Proof they publish:**  Teaching. Its SEO and GEO Manager, Jack Cooksey, has guest lectured on GEO and AI search at UWA, which a lecturer's review confirms.
- **Pricing:**  Not published.
- **AI search:**  Its standard reporting shows which AI platforms send real users: ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. It also shows which of your content appears on them, which is the useful half.
- **Ask them:**  Which of my pages show up in AI answers today? Which questions are we missing?

## 6. PunkFox: best for an SEO-only agency with a free GEO audit

[PunkFox](https://punkfox.com.au/geo/) suits a business that wants a search specialist with no ads or social team attached. It says it has more than 15 years of SEO-only experience. GEO and AEO are separate services.

- **Where they are:**  Suite 0636, 143 St Georges Terrace, Perth, per its [contact page](https://punkfox.com.au/contact/).
- **What they sell:**  SEO, GEO and AEO. Its GEO review covers structured data, internal links, crawlability, reviews, citations and profile consistency, plus whether your content says anything useful.
- **Proof they publish:**  Big percentages. Its [homepage](https://punkfox.com.au/) shows case studies headed "8350% Increase in Traffic" for Moonsand and "1000% Increase in Traffic" for a double-glazing client.
- **Pricing:**  Not published. It offers a free GEO audit.
- **AI search:**  It covers Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot, and splits the work into two jobs. Its own line: "AEO helps your content become the answer. GEO helps your business become the recommended choice."
- **Ask them:**  That traffic growth is impressive, so what did it turn into in enquiries, calls and sales?

## 7. SEO Perth Expert: best for a one-person specialist with published plans

[SEO Perth Expert](https://seoperth.expert/) is Ben Grummels, who has done full-time SEO in Perth since 1999. It suits a small business that wants the person doing the work on the phone and a price on the page. His [AI SEO Perth page](https://seoperth.expert/ai-seo-perth/) came up first when I searched "ai seo perth", ahead of every agency on this list.

- **Where they are:**  Padbury, in the City of Joondalup.
- **What they sell:**  SEO and GEO, review marketing beyond Google, link building, schema and an llms.txt file. He says he added "a professional AI agent" to his SEO and GEO work in 2022.
- **Proof they publish:**  A roofing site. He says he moved a Perth roofing site to perthroof.repair, and two months later it topped page one for "perth roof repairs". Organic traffic went from 12 to 277 visits a month.
- **Pricing:**  [Plans](https://seoperth.expert/perth-seo-prices/) at A$970, A$1,760 and A$3,300 monthly, inc GST, plus a A$220 setup fee. Not-for-profits get 50% off.
- **AI search:**  The A$3,300 plan's heading says "Includes AI SEO".
- **Ask them:**  His homepage makes a specific organic traffic promise for the first four months. Get its terms in writing. Then ask how much AI SEO the two lower plans include.

## 8. All Marketing: best for senior hours, billed and itemised

[All Marketing](https://www.allmarketing.com.au/generative-engine-optimisation-perth/) suits a business that would rather buy hours than a package. One senior consultant does the work, and it bills "every hour itemised", so you can see where the time went.

- **Where they are:**  63 Adelaide Terrace, East Perth.
- **What they sell:**  SEO, GEO, content, websites and GA4 work. Its GEO engagement covers an entity audit, schema, an llms.txt file and question-led content written for the questions buyers ask.
- **Proof they publish:**  Its GEO page describes clients who "arrived after an expensive agency engagement went quiet", with no client figures. Ask for a GEO example.
- **Pricing:**  A$150 an hour plus GST. Its calculator compares that with a "typical Perth agency" at A$220 an hour plus GST.
- **AI search:**  It tests ChatGPT, Grok, Claude and Gemini against your buyers' questions, then tracks assistant referral traffic in GA4.
- **Ask them:**  How many hours a month will GEO need for a business my size?

## 9. GEO Specialist Perth: best for a website rebuilt around AI search

[GEO Specialist Perth](https://geospecialistperth.com.au/) suits a service business ready to rebuild its website for AI search. Founder Sharmini Fraser builds static React sites with detailed JSON-LD schema. Google's AI answer for "geo agency perth" listed it first, above the other four.

- **Where they are:**  Perth, WA.
- **What they sell:**  GEO-optimised web design, schema and entity mapping, AI visibility audits and ongoing retainers.
- **Proof they publish:**  Mostly market statistics. Its homepage leads with those and a free AI readiness quiz, not client results. Ask for a site it rebuilt and what it shows in ChatGPT.
- **Pricing:**  Rebuilds from A$6,500 plus GST. Retainers from A$750 monthly plus GST.
- **AI search:**  ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, plus Google's AI answers.
- **Ask them:**  Can I keep my current site and add only the schema and entity work, without the full rebuild?

## How should you choose an AI SEO agency in Perth?

Pick the agency that shows you, before you sign, what it will track, what it will build and how it will measure the result. Everything else on a proposal is a list of tasks. My view: people only care about the outcome, and all they want to know is what they get.

Use this checklist on every proposal:

1. **One plan for Google and AI answers:**  AI answers lean on Google's signals: your pages, Business Profile, reviews and what other sites say about you. Two agencies above disagree. Search Scope publishes that 52% of businesses AI kept recommending sat in Google's top 10. GEO Specialist Perth says "90% of AI citations come from outside Google's top 10 results." Ask for the data.
2. **The buyer questions, by name:**  Get the list of questions they'll track, and on which engines, before the first invoice. "Best electrician for a switchboard upgrade in Joondalup" is a question. "AI visibility" is a category.
3. **The pages, by name:**  Ask which pages they'll build, and why each one. My view: a small silo of incredible pages does better right now.
4. **How they measure AI traffic:**  Bots fool GA4. Ask how they'll tell real AI visits from automated ones, because we've seen it go wrong. A client's GA4 showed AI-assistant visits jump from 354 to 6,050 in a month. Almost none of it was real. About 5,700 came in three one-hour bursts: same 1920x1080 desktop Chrome, all new users, no referrer, about 20 seconds each, landing on two pages. Real AI traffic was 385 sessions against 354 the month before, roughly flat.
5. **Your Google Business Profile:**  For "who should I use in Perth" questions, the Maps pack still matters. Google says local results are "mainly based on relevance, distance, and popularity" ([Google Business Profile Help](https://support.google.com/business/answer/7091?hl=en-AU)). Ask about all three: profile, reviews, listings.
6. **What ships in month one:**  A baseline report is a start, but it isn't the work itself. Ask which pages, fixes and listings go live in the first 30 days.
7. **Proof you can check:**  Read every case study as that agency's claim. Then ask the follow-up most buyers skip: what did the traffic turn into in calls, bookings or sales?

## What do AI SEO, GEO and AEO mean?

Three names, one goal. Each describes getting your business found and recommended when people ask AI tools instead of typing a search. AI SEO is the broad term, while GEO and AEO describe two sides of the same work.

| Term | What it means | What the agency does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AI SEO | Search work aimed at Google and the AI answer tools together | Ranks your pages and gets your business named in AI answers |
| GEO (generative engine optimisation) | Getting named in answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot | Consistent business facts, schema, reviews, mentions on trusted sites |
| AEO (answer engine optimisation) | Getting your page quoted as the answer | Answer-first copy, FAQs, clear headings, structured data |
| LLM SEO | Another name for GEO, after large language models | The same work as GEO |

The work starts with ordinary SEO. AI answers pull from pages that already rank, profiles that already carry reviews and lists that already name you.

Here's an example. Say you run a Perth roofing company, and someone asks ChatGPT, "who's the best roof restoration company in the northern suburbs?" To get named, you need four things:

- a roof restoration page that answers that question plainly
- schema that matches the page
- a Business Profile with recent reviews
- mentions on the local lists and directories the AI tools read

That's the job.

## How much does AI SEO cost in Perth?

Published Perth AI SEO prices start at A$150 an hour, and monthly retainers run from A$750 to A$3,999. One-off audits and sprints sit between A$1,500 and A$2,997, while a GEO-first website rebuild starts at A$6,500.

| Provider | What you get | Published price | GST |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| All Marketing | Senior consultant hours, itemised | A$150 an hour | Plus GST |
| GEO Specialist Perth | GEO and SEO visibility retainer | From A$750 monthly | Plus GST |
| SEO Perth Expert | Starter, Corporate and Enterprise SEO plans (AI SEO in Enterprise) | A$970, A$1,760, A$3,300 monthly | Inc GST |
| Search Scope | Perth local business AI SEO | From A$1,499 monthly | Ex GST |
| Search Scope | High-competition and ecommerce AI SEO | From A$3,999 monthly | Ex GST |
| Search Scope | AI Visibility Audit | A$1,500 one-off (A$3,000 ecommerce, multi-location) | Ex GST |
| Search Scope | Entity Foundation cleanup | From A$1,950 one-off | Ex GST |
| PWD | AI Visibility Accelerator, 14 business days | A$2,997 fixed | Not stated |
| GEO Specialist Perth | GEO-optimised website rebuild | From A$6,500 | Plus GST |

Prices as published on each provider's own page, read 26 October 2026. These are named providers' offers, not a Perth average, and Digital Hitmen, Daisy Digital and PunkFox publish no price.

Price is half of it. The better question is what one new customer is worth to you, because that decides how much search work makes sense. My rule: SEO is great when the jobs are big, because once the leads start coming, it pays for itself quickly. A roofer who wins one more re-roof from search sits in a different spot from a café. The café needs hundreds of new regulars.

## Where does Searchmaxxed fit?

Searchmaxxed fits a Perth business that wants SEO, GEO and AEO run as one weekly plan on a website it owns. Here's how we do it. Our AI agents pull your Search Console, GA4, rankings, competitor pages and what ChatGPT and Google's AI answers say about you. We use that data to decide which page, fix or link will bring the most enquiries first. Then we build it. Service and suburb pages, technical fixes, schema and internal links go on your site, while links, reviews, citations and mentions go on other sites.

I learnt what a ranking is worth at Radiant Roof Repairs. A mate did the roofs; I did the marketing, sales and operations. When we reached the map pack it was phone call after phone call: 1,487 calls came off our Google Business Profile. Most of that came through Google Maps. Finding people to do the work became the hard part.

Our [Perth page](https://www.searchmaxxed.com/perth) covers the rest. It shows what that looks like in your market: the services, the packages and how we'd measure the work.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a GEO agency?

A GEO agency works to get your business named and cited in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google's AI Overviews. In Perth, most also do SEO, because AI tools lean on the same pages, profiles and reviews that rank in Google.

### Which AI SEO agency in Perth is the best?

It depends on what you need. My pick is Searchmaxxed for SEO, GEO and AEO shipped every week on a site you own, and I run it. For a fixed-price sprint, look at PWD; for published prices, Search Scope; for an awards-heavy team, Digital Hitmen.

### How do you choose a GEO agency?

Ask for three things before you sign. Get the buyer questions they'll track, the pages they'll build in the first 90 days, and how they'll measure AI traffic. Then check their proof against outcomes like calls and bookings, not traffic alone.

### How much does AI SEO cost in Perth?

Published Perth AI SEO retainers run from A$750 to A$3,999 monthly, and one senior consultant bills A$150 an hour plus GST. One-off audits and sprints run from A$1,500 to A$2,997. Most agencies here publish no price.

### How long does AI SEO take to work?

Expect months, not weeks. PWD says consistent AI referencing "typically takes 3 to 6 months". Search Scope says three months is the earliest most established Perth sites see real citation movement. Schema and listing fixes can show sooner.

### Is GEO different from SEO?

GEO aims to get your business named inside AI answers; SEO aims to rank your pages in Google's results. The work overlaps heavily. Good pages, schema, reviews and mentions on other sites help both, which is why most Perth agencies here sell them together.

### Is there an AI that can do SEO?

AI tools can research keywords, draft pages and check technical issues. They don't own the strategy. In my view, Google doesn't care whether AI wrote a page; it cares whether the page is good and adds something new. We use AI agents for research and building. We decide what ships.

## Ready to get your business named in AI answers?

If you want Google rankings and AI answers worked on as one weekly plan, the next step is a 30-minute call. You'll talk to the people who'd run the work. Share your Search Console and we'll open it live, then tell you what Google and ChatGPT say about you and what we'd build first. [Let's talk](https://www.searchmaxxed.com/contact).
