Voxel Phase — GEO agency
voxelphase.com/answer-engine-optimization/geo-agency4.06/ 5
M1 · Own AI-visibility 2 · 9%
Absent from category recall on both engines. Brand recall thin/self-sourced on both: ChatGPT — 'agency website plus a Clutch listing and social profiles; enough to confirm it exists, but not broad independent recognition in the SEO industry'; Claude — 'thin online footprint, generic reviews.'
M2 · Method transparency 4 · 16%
Publishes a named GEO process — "Schema Audit and Implementation", "Direct-Answer Content Structure", "Entity Recognition Building", "AI Citation Monitoring" — over a stated 4–8 week timeline, plus a free sample-audit preview; descriptions are brief and no measurement framework is detailed beyond citation monitoring. source ↗
M3 · Evidence verifiability 4 · 23%
The /results page carries three NAMED local-SMB clients with specific, GEO-relevant outcomes and working business websites — Premier Foot & Ankle Center (San Mateo, "#1 AI search ranking podiatrist", "440 new patients over 13 months"), Handy Johnny (Hayward, featured in Google Gemini for "best handyman in Hayward"), Sushi Boat (Sunnyvale, featured in ChatGPT for "best sushi takeaway"); existence is verifiable, though the AI-citation outcomes are not independently archived and there are no testimonials with profiles. source ↗
M4 · Pricing openness 5 · 12%
Full published packages with numbers and Get Started paths — Foundation $588/mo, Growth $788/mo, Authority $1,288/mo (plus exact blog add-ons); only optional standalone GEO projects are scoped individually. source ↗
M5 · AI reachability 4 · 10%
robots.txt does not block the key AI crawlers and the homepage is server-rendered (1052 words to a non-JS reader); no llms.txt. source ↗
E1 · Segment fit 5 · 12%
editorial — Clearest SMB fit of the group — "Generative Engine Optimization for Small Businesses", a "Bay Area GEO agency serving small businesses", a low $588/mo self-serve entry, real local-SMB case clients (podiatrist, handyman, sushi shop) and no enterprise minimum. source ↗
E2 · Promise cleanliness 4 · 18%
editorial — Confident with mild urgency/FOMO framing ("the businesses getting GEO right now will own these citations", "First-Mover Advantage Disappears Quickly") but no guaranteed rankings, refund, or manipulation claims; tone is advisory ("Judge us by the audit"). source ↗
◧ M1 cross-engine — ChatGPT: self-sourced-thin — site + Clutch listing + social; confirms existence, not broad industry recognition · Claude: self-sourced-thin — thin online footprint, generic reviews · recorded, not averaged
The strongest entry of this batch on the honest, buyer-relevant axes: open low-entry pricing, a named GEO process, and — uniquely here — three named local-SMB case clients with verifiable existence and AI-citation outcomes. Clean promises and textbook segment fit. The remaining gaps are independent verification of the AI-citation results and own-visibility (M1), pending the probe.

What this ruler does NOT measure Track-record depth and the volume of named cases favour older incumbents we cannot fully see; NDA-bound outcomes are unscored. We weight reproducible, buyer-checkable signal on purpose — and we list ourselves on the same ruler.
