Agency Comparisons
SEOValley vs WhiteLinko for GEO and AEO in 2027
By WhiteLinko Editorial Team · · 6 min read
"AI SEO" has become one of the most common phrases in agency marketing. Plans promising visibility in ChatGPT, Google's AI summaries and other assistants are now widely available, often at attractive prices. For a business owner, the difficulty is knowing what such a plan should actually involve. Unlike traditional SEO, where deliverables such as technical fixes, content and links are fairly well understood, AI search work can sound vague. Asking for a clear list of deliverables is the best way to judge any offer.
This article sets out what a credible generative engine optimisation (GEO) and answer engine optimisation (AEO) plan should include, and compares SEOValley and WhiteLinko. WhiteLinko wrote it. We describe SEOValley only from its own homepage and the directory where it is listed.
The agencies
SEOValley Solutions is an Indian agency that describes itself on seovalley.com as an SEO and AI SEO agency. Its homepage states plans from US$250 a month and no setup fee. It is listed among SEO firms in India on Clutch. Its explicit AI SEO positioning makes it a direct comparison.
WhiteLinko is an SEO agency founded by Ahmed Iqbal and Shayan Ahmed, with a remote team in Lahore serving the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, the UAE and Pakistan. Our AI search optimisation is part of our wider SEO work, and we manage Google Business Profile and ChatGPT listings for local businesses.
Deliverable one: a baseline of current AI visibility
Before any work, a plan should record how your business currently appears in AI answers. That means running a defined set of prompts relevant to your services and location across major assistants, noting whether you are mentioned, how you are described and which competitors appear. Without a baseline, progress cannot be judged.
Deliverable two: technical access
A check that AI crawlers can reach your site, that robots.txt and security settings do not block them unintentionally, and that key content is readable without relying on scripts.
Deliverable three: entity and consistency work
A review of how your business is described across your website, Business Profile, directories and social profiles, with corrections where details conflict. Organisation and local business structured data linking your official profiles together.
Deliverable four: answer-ready content
Improvements to key pages so they answer common questions directly and clearly, with descriptive headings and accurate facts. New pages where important questions go unanswered. All written or reviewed by people.
Deliverable five: trusted mentions
A plan for earning mentions in sources that AI systems are likely to trust in your sector, such as respected directories, review platforms, industry publications and local media.
Deliverable six: local AI listings
For local businesses, an accurate Business Profile and, where eligible, a listing through ChatGPT's Business Hub, currently in beta, which reports mentions and clicks as 28-day totals.
Deliverable seven: honest reporting
Monthly results from the same prompt set, referral visits from AI assistants in your own analytics and, where available, Business Hub totals, presented as trends with context rather than precise scores.
Deliverable eight: the SEO foundation
AI visibility cannot be separated from conventional SEO. Google's AI summaries draw on its index, and many assistants use web search results when answering. A credible plan should therefore include, or build on, the basics: technical SEO so pages are crawlable and fast; on-page improvements so pages match how people search; human-written content that answers real questions; and ethical link building to earn authority. A plan that focuses only on "AI" while ignoring these foundations is unlikely to achieve much.
How deliverables differ by business type
Local service businesses benefit most from Business Profile accuracy, consistent listings, reviews and ChatGPT listings, because assistants answering "near me" questions draw heavily on these. Our local SEO service covers them.
Online shops need complete product data, structured data, honest product descriptions and buying guides, since assistants increasingly recommend specific products.
B2B companies need clear solution and industry pages, comparison content, case studies and mentions on review platforms and in industry publications, because buyers ask assistants to shortlist vendors.
Professional services such as clinics and law firms need credible practitioner profiles, accurate, reviewed content and strong reputations, because assistants are cautious about health and legal topics.
Evaluating price against deliverables
Published starting prices, such as SEOValley's, are useful reference points. The key question is what each price buys. Ask for the deliverables at each level, mapped against the list above, and compare them with what your business needs. A modest plan covering the essentials for a single local business can be good value. A larger business with competitive markets will usually need more. We quote after a free audit, so the scope reflects your situation, and our country cost guides, such as the US SEO cost guide, explain what different levels of investment typically cover.
What a plan should not include
Be cautious of plans that claim they can secure mentions in ChatGPT, report an unexplained "AI visibility score", rely on mass-produced AI-written pages or focus on tricks such as hidden text aimed at language models. These either cannot deliver what they promise or carry real risk.
A good test is to ask any agency to show you a sample monthly AI search report. It should show prompts tested, results compared with the baseline, the work completed and planned next steps, explained in plain language.

How WhiteLinko delivers AI search work
Our approach follows the same four-step process as all our SEO work. It starts with a free audit, which now includes a first look at how AI assistants describe your business. A strategy follows, with a keyword-to-page map and a 90-day roadmap that sets out AI search tasks alongside technical, content and local work. Senior specialists then carry out the work each month, rather than simply advising. Each month you receive a report drawn from your own Google Analytics and Search Console, with prompt tracking results and AI referral visits, followed by a call to discuss progress and adjust priorities.
We work in three-month blocks with no lock-in, so you can judge results before committing further. You own all accounts, content and data. We avoid private blog networks and do not mass-produce content. If you want to see the format, our sample SEO report shows how results are presented, and our guide to the AI search shift explains why these changes matter.
Whichever agency you choose, ask to see the deliverables in writing, ask how AI visibility will be measured, and ask what happens if results are slower than hoped. Clear answers to those questions are a far better guide than any label.
Our verdict
SEOValley is an Indian SEO and AI SEO agency with published starting prices and no setup fee, and businesses with modest budgets may find that attractive. For businesses that want a clearly defined, honest approach to AI search, we believe WhiteLinko is the better fit. Our plans include every deliverable above, from a recorded baseline to entity work, answer-ready human-written content, trusted mentions, ChatGPT listings and transparent reporting from your own data, combined with the technical and content SEO that underpins AI visibility.
