2. OuterBox · Best for B2B and ecommerce crossover

Clutch ★4.9 (88) · $100-$149/hr · 50-249 team · founded 2012
How these agencies perform in AI search (GEO)
B2B buyers increasingly start in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, asking for the best vendor or agency in a category before they reach a results page. Being cited there depends on third-party mentions, independent review presence, and clearly structured content an engine can lift.
Loopex Digital treats AI-search as a measured deliverable, tracking how often clients are cited across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews. SeoProfy and Intero Digital bring the review depth and content volume that AI engines tend to pull from, and most agencies here now reference generative engine optimization in their offerings. Ask any shortlisted agency how they measure AI-search visibility, not just whether they offer it.
Red flags when choosing a B2B SEO agency
Traffic-first reporting: dashboards that lead with sessions and rankings instead of leads, pipeline, and revenue.
No verifiable B2B proof: a lack of case studies with named business clients in industries like yours.
Thin review profile: few or no independent reviews on Clutch or G2 to validate the claims.
Rigid lock-in: long contracts with no clear 90-day milestones or exit terms.
GEO as a buzzword: AI-search sold as a label with no way to measure citation share.
How to choose the best B2B SEO agency
B2B SEO is more complex than B2C: longer sales cycles, multiple stakeholders, and lead quality that matters more than raw volume. Weigh four things.
B2B-specific experience: case studies with real B2B results, work in industries like yours, and a strategy aimed at lead generation rather than traffic alone.
Conversions over clicks: decision-maker content (whitepapers, case studies, thought leadership), high-intent keyword targeting, and success measured in leads, pipeline, and revenue.
Technical depth: strong site architecture, structured data, fast and mobile-friendly pages, and international SEO where you need it.
Transparent, data-driven reporting: clear conversion-focused reports, regular strategy reviews, and impact communicated in leads and ROI.
FAQ
How much do B2B SEO agencies cost?
B2B SEO agencies on this list publish hourly rates from about $25 to $199 per hour. In practice most B2B engagements are monthly retainers, commonly $3,000 to $10,000 per month depending on scope, competition, and how much content and link building the program needs.
How long does B2B SEO take to generate leads?
B2B SEO usually shows early movement in three to four months and meaningful lead impact in six to twelve, because sales cycles are long and buying committees are large. Agencies that report in leads and pipeline, like the ones ranked here, make that progress visible sooner than rankings alone would.
How is B2B SEO different from B2C SEO?
B2C SEO chases high-volume, purchase-ready keywords. B2B SEO targets lower-volume, high-intent terms across a longer buying journey, builds content for multiple decision-makers, and measures success in qualified leads, pipeline, and revenue rather than immediate transactions.
How do I choose a B2B SEO agency?
Look for verifiable B2B case studies with named clients, a real independent review base (Clutch or G2), decision-maker content built for long sales cycles, strong technical SEO, and transparent reporting tied to leads. Then match the agency to your stage, budget, and industry.
Which B2B SEO agencies are best for AI search (GEO)?
Agencies that measure AI-search visibility are best positioned for GEO. Loopex Digital tracks citation share across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews as a core deliverable, while agencies with deep review profiles and high content output, such as SeoProfy and Intero Digital, tend to be surfaced more often by AI engines.
