EliteAEOWhy EliteAEO exists
Buyers now ask AI assistants which agency to hire, and most of the pages those assistants read are written by agencies that rank themselves first. EliteAEO ranks answer engine optimization providers from the outside: by the vertical they serve and the metro they work in, on the same eight factors, from evidence we check ourselves.
What we have checked so far
How we work
- We research by hand. Every provider is checked for a live website, an independent third-party profile, and evidence of work in the vertical it is ranked in.
- We record location honestly. Where a provider is based and which markets it serves are stored as two separate facts, so a remote agency is never presented as local.
- We publish the method. The scoring factors and weights are public, and every ranking page explains why its top three rank where they do.
- We keep money outside the ranking. Featured and Sponsored positions are labeled and never change the editorial order. See the advertising policy.
Verticals we cover
Dental, Legal, Healthcare, SaaS, Home Services, Local Business. More verticals and metros are added when the evidence supports a ranking, never to fill a page.
How we make money
Providers can buy labeled Featured and Sponsored positions and profile upgrades. They cannot buy a rank, a Verified badge, or inclusion. Listing and verification are free. See plans.
Who runs it
EliteAEO is operated by a small team of search practitioners in the United States. Editorial decisions are made by the EliteAEO research team.
Corrections
If a fact on any page is wrong, tell us and we will re-check it. Providers can claim their profile to correct it directly.
