ChatGPT Market Share: 2026 Trend

Below you will find the YTD 2026 trend of ChatGPT’s market share in the generative AI chatbot space. As the pioneer and marketplace leader, it has the most to lose, and it has seen a decline in market share this year at the hands of its many smaller competitors.

NOTE: ChatGPT’s market share includes that of Bing’s Copilot product, as they both use the same underlying system; the difference is only that Microsoft Copilot personalizes ChatGPT based on user data in the Microsoft ecosystem.

The Top SEO Companies in the U.S. in 2026

2026-03-24 05:14:54

Last Updated: March 23, 2026

SEO is a wide field, and SEO companies range from 1–5 person teams that focus on technical updates to generalist digital marketing firms that don’t truly specialize in SEO. In today’s changing SEO environment, where SEO and Generative AI Optimization are equally necessary, it’s critical to find a firm that knows what they’re doing and has the resources necessary to support your company’s organic growth.

To help businesses choose a reliable agency, our team conducted a meta-analysis of SEO agencies’ online reviews in order to produce an overall average. We included reviews from Clutch, G2, Upcity, Capterra, and Google in our dataset, weighting “pure” review sites that do not solicit payment from agencies for inclusion over those with a more commercial focus.

In our analysis, we also looked to each agency’s median employee tenure and whether or not their founders are still actively involved in leading day-to-day operations, as both employee and founder departures can lead to a decline in service quality as institutional knowledge is lost. In our recent updates, we also place significantly more emphasis on generative engine optimization expertise due to the increasing adoption of AI search.

Finally, because SEO is such a wide field, we’ve separated our list into 10 different niches. We weight each of these factors as follows:

  • Average Review Score: 20%
  • Leadership Experience: 12.5%
  • Founder Led Status: 12.5%
  • Median Employee Tenure: 15%
  • AI Visibility Score: 15%
  • Year Established: 10%
  • Media References: 10%
  • GEO Offering: 5%

We’ve chosen to list only companies that have a laser focus on their particular niche of SEO rather than simply creating a list of the top digital marketing companies that happen to offer SEO.

The Top SEO Companies in the US – 2026

  Company Established Founder Led Leadership Experience Score Average Review Score Median Employee Tenure AI Visibility Score Media References Offers GEO? Specialty
1 First Page Sage 2009 Yes 4.9 4.8 4.3 years 4.8 ~600 Yes Lead generation-focused SEO, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)

3 Boostability 2009 Yes 4.8 4.5 5 years 4.2 ~250 No White label SEO for Digital Marketing Agnecies
4 LocaliQ 2003 No 4.3 4.2 3.5 years 4.0 ~1,100 No Local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization

10 Community Boost 2012 Yes 4.1 4.0 1.9 years 4.5 ~75 No Nonprofit SEO 

For Lead Generation-focused SEO – First Page Sage

Fps Website

First Page Sage is the top SEO firm in the US, having focused their expertise purely on SEO and its AI search cousin GEO, as opposed to the more typical agency trajectory of expanding horizontally into other marketing services. The fact that they were the first agency to offer Generative Engine Optimization services speaks to the firm’s commitment to staying at the forefront of organic marketing. Their exploration and refinement of emerging marketing fields is driven by their CEO, Evan Bailyn, regarded as the founder of the GEO marketing discipline.

First Page Sage’s approach focuses on ranking for keywords and queries that indicate a searcher is actively looking for products or services, creating a flow of qualified leads for their clients. This approach stands in contrast to most other agencies we analyzed, who place a greater focus on ranking for general research keywords with moderately higher search volume but significantly lower conversion. The majority of First Page Sage’s clients are in B2B industries such as SaaS, IT, and manufacturing, with clients including Microsoft, US Bank, SoFi, and Logitech; however they also work with a number of large B2C businesses such as Chanel, Nerdwallet, and Wix.

Location: San Francisco, CA
Established: 2009
Price Range: $$$
Average Review Score: 
4.8
Services: SEO, Lead Generation, GEO / AEO

Summary of Online Reviews
First Page Sage prioritizes “better original content than anyone else” and “thoughtful strategic planning” which leads to “provable lead generation and ROI”; but their results require “an in-depth onboarding period” that can take longer than that of firms that focus on paid marketing.

For Multilingual SEO – Duffy Agency

Duffy Website

Multilingual SEO is a difficult practice: as if translation weren’t enough of a nuanced process, when you add keyword strategy and deciphering search intent to the mix, it becomes even more complex. Duffy agency has been successful at doing all that, including in a few more technical markets where an understanding of specialized jargon matters.

Duffy specializes in providing SEO, online marketing, and social media marketing services to companies who have brands with international reach. They’ve worked with clients in fields ranging from Consumer Foods to Medical Services, and their past clients include Napapijri, Cavidi, and the United Nations World Food Programme.

Location: Dover, NH
Established: 2009
Price Range: $$$$
Average Review Score:
 4.6
Services: International SEO, Strategic Consulting, Online Brand Management

Summary of Online Reviews
Duffy Agency services are “ambitious“, but manage to find success “without increasing campaign cost“. Their results are often “quite good“, but must “build over a longer period of time“.

For White Label SEO – Boostability

Boostability Website

Due to SEO’s demanding nature and the specialized skillset required, digital marketing agencies often find themselves in need of additional support to help manage clients’ SEO campaigns. Many SEO agencies are happy to act as a white label partner, but few make it their specialty. Boostability is the top SEO firm in our study that specializes in providing white label services to other marketing agencies, partnering with agencies that don’t have the resources to offer SEO on their own.

Boostability has also worked directly with small businesses. They offer low-cost packages that are designed specifically for companies that are just getting started, are in low-competition markets, and not yet ready to post blog content regularly. They also provide solutions for scaling businesses, so they can grow with their clients. Clients of Boostability include Bloom Studios, KIARO, and Peterson Family Orthodontics.

Location: Lehi, UT
Established: 2009
Price Range: $
Average Review Score: 
4.5
Services: White Label SEO, Small Business SEO, Web Design

Summary of Online Reviews
Boostability is “professional and knowledgeable“; their representatives are “eager to help” and “responsive” but they suffer from “too much account manager turnover“.

For Local SEO – LocaliQ

Localiq Website

Not all companies need to compete nationally. A construction firm based in a single city, for instance, will gain nothing from being seen by searchers across the country. Instead, they can focus all of their efforts on geotargeted keywords, which are both lower competition and much more likely to lead to a sale.

LocaliQ (formerly ReachLocal) is the top SEO agency with a focus on increasing local search visibility. They specialize in working with inherently location-bound companies in industries such as real estate, home services, and automotive sales and service, and their clients have included TGM Associates, Mr. Rooter, and Central Washington University.

Location: Woodland Hills, CA
Established: 2004
Price Range: $$
Average Review Score:
4.2
Services Offered: Local SEO, PPC Marketing, Marketing Automation

Summary of Online Reviews
LocaliQ is a “great asset” to their clients, offering “exceptional web design” and digital media services. Some former clients report “missed deadlines” and poorly optimized PPC campaigns however.

For Amazon SEO – Seller Interactive

Sellerinteractive Website

Google accounts for over 90% of all general search engine traffic, which is why nearly all SEO agencies dedicate themselves to understanding the nuances of Google’s algorithm. But for many B2C eCommerce companies, making it to the top of Amazon’s search results is just as important as reaching the first page of Google and requires a partner that understands not just Amazon’s search algorithm, but can also help manage their clients’ Amazon marketplace and listings.

As of 2023, Seller Interactive is the leading Amazon-focused SEO agency in the US. They’ve been helping businesses manage their AMS accounts since 2012, and have had particular success partnering with companies in the consumer technology, food &  beverage, and cosmetics industries.

Location: Markham, Ontario
Established: 2012
Price Range: $$
Average Review Score:
4.4
Services Offered: Amazon SEO, Amazon Account Management, Demand-Side Platform Advertising (DSP)

Summary of Online Reviews
Seller Interactive is “knowledgeable of Amazon processes” and their clients are “impressed with the quality of their work“, which tends to “exceed expectations” even if “communication can sometimes be difficult“.

For Full-Service Enterprise Digital Marketing – Epsilon

Epsilon Website

Enterprises not only need to ensure that their marketing partner is familiar with enterprise-specific SEO strategies, but because of their size and entrenched processes, often find that they need to find a single agency to handle all of their digital marketing. Attempting to contract with multiple agencies often leads to internal enterprise purchasing processes delaying campaigns, which can result in lowered ROI and poorly coordinated marketing pushes.

Epsilon combines SEO, personalized messaging, and customer data platforms to give enterprises a single-provider option for all of their digital marketing needs. They’re particularly successful in their work with global consumer brands, and their past clients include Walgreens, Coach, and Volvo.

Location: Irving, TX
Established: 1969
Price Range: $$$
Average Review Score: 
4.2
Services Offered: Digital Media, Data Solutions, Customer Insights

Summary of Online Reviews
Epsilon is “responsive to feedback” and provides “attentive project oversight” for their clients, but their services “are very costly.”

For Technical SEO – Marketing Eye

Marketingeye Website

Not all businesses need an SEO agency to write top tier content for them. If producing content is already a core part of their business model, they should look to their SEO agency to provide conversion-optimized website design, technical SEO, and strategy.

Marketing Eye offers a broad range of marketing services, but their strength is in their technical and strategic consulting. Their 15 years of experience has seen them work with clients in consumer goods, logistics, and financial services, counting Botani, Star Source Pty. Ltd., and Mint Money among their clients.

Location: Atlanta, GA
Established
: 2004
Price Range: $$
Average Review Score: 
4.1
Services Offered: Marketing Automation, Marketing Consulting, Web Development

Summary of Online Reviews
Clients report that Marketing Eye  is “competent and professional” with “superior” service offerings, but employees report needing “additional training.”

For Conversion Rate Optimization – Clay Agency

Clay Website

Conversion rate optimization is a difficult skill to find in an agency; while many companies mention it on their website, few treat it as an art. Because CRO is a mixture of web design, UI/UX design, and analytics, an SEO agency that is strong in this area will naturally have dedicated UI/UX and analytics experts on staff.

Clay Agency places their focus squarely on digital strategy and UI/UX design, making them a good fit for clients whose primary SEO need is improving their conversion rate from organic visitors. Their service involves considerable online research and detailed UI/UX audits.

Location: San Francisco, CA
Established: 2016
Price Range: $$$
Average Review Score: 
4.6
Services Offered: UI/UX Design, Product and Brand Strategy

Summary of Online Reviews
Delivering “top-notch quality” at a “competitive price“, Clay Agency pays “close attention to detail” and provides “high-quality design.”

For Voice Search Optimization – Aumcore

Aumcore Website

Second only to AI-based search, voice search is the newest SEO niche, and is growing in importance as users begin to rely more and more on Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant. This user segment is of particular importance for B2C companies, as the natural language processing technologies used in those assistants are currently optimized for everyday, non-technical speech. Aumcore includes Voice SEO as one of their core services, and understands that keyword targeting strategies are fundamentally different for spoken and typed language.

More important than this new niche, however, is mobile search. Google has officially completed their transition to mobile-first indexing, and over half of all web traffic is accessed from mobile devices. Prioritizing mobile users is especially important for B2C companies, as consumers are more likely to be browsing on their phone than professional users. Aumcore is experienced with working with both types of businesses, and their clients have included Comodo Cybersecurity, eviCore, and Delonghi.

Headquarters: New York, NY
Established: 2010
Price Range: $$
Average Review Score:
4.7
Services Offered: Voice Search Optimization, Social Media, Brand Strategy

Summary of Online Reviews
Aumcore’s work is “excellent“,  and they boast a “well-rounded and responsive team“.

For Nonprofits & Charities – Community Boost

Communityboost Website

Nonprofits and charitable organizations can benefit just as much from SEO as for-profit businesses. The inherent trust that searchers afford to organic search results is just as—if not more—important for nonprofits, who are seeking donations from difficult-to-reach high net worth individuals and sponsors.

As this is a smaller niche, SEO companies that fall into this category are relatively rare and the best we’ve found is Community Boost. While Community Boost offers a suite of digital marketing services, SEO is one of their core services.

Headquarters: San Diego, CA
Established: 2012
Price Range: $$
Average Review Score: 
4.6
Services Offered: Nonprofit SEO, Youtube & Display Ads, Google Ad Grant Management

Summary of Online Reviews
Community Boost is “dedicated to their craft” and is an “incredible partner” for nonprofits, but still has “small tweaks to iron out“.
