NoGood

NoGood is a New York growth marketing agency running a dedicated, productized AEO service built on two pillars: content written specifically for AI readability and "pullability," and technical SEO work that removes friction for crawlers and answer engines. It measures performance through Goodie, a proprietary AI-visibility platform tracking citations, traffic, and conversions across major LLMs in real time — a genuine, purpose-built measurement tool rather than a repurposed traditional SEO dashboard.

A specific, real result worth citing directly: NoGood's SteelSeries (consumer gaming) engagement reportedly produced a 23x year-over-year increase in AI search traffic, a 27x increase in AI-platform-driven conversions, and a 75% improvement in Perplexity Visibility Score — a genuinely specific, multi-metric case study rather than a single vague headline number.

It's built for VC-backed startups and enterprises with real growth-marketing budgets that want AEO embedded inside a broader multi-channel program (paid, SEO, CRO) run by one cross-functional "growth squad" per client, rather than a standalone content-only engagement. Multiple independent sources are explicit that this requires Series C+ or enterprise-scale marketing budgets to be a realistic fit.

The growth squad model embeds AEO alongside paid acquisition, traditional SEO, and CRO into one team per client, using Goodie's proprietary citation tracking to compare AEO performance directly against other channels and recommend budget allocation based on actual conversion data rather than assumption. NoGood's AI Lab publishes original research on AI visibility signals, which independent sources credit as informing how the agency builds and updates its AEO programs over time — a genuine research investment, not just a marketing blog.

One specific, disclosed limitation from an independent comparison: NoGood's AI methodology disclosure is described as thinner than peers like iPullRank or SimpleTiger — meaning the underlying mechanics of how Goodie's tracking and recommendations work are less publicly documented than some technically-focused competitors.

• Consistently reported at $20,000+/month across multiple independent sources, with one detailed breakdown specifying an average $20,000+/month retainer and framing $240,000+/year as the realistic annual commitment.
• No public rate card exists; pricing requires direct contact.

This is one of the higher price points in the GEO/AEO agency category, consistent with NoGood's positioning toward Series C+ and enterprise clients rather than growth-stage startups.
