Our two cents

Best suited to retail brands wanting performance terms.

Shout Digital is a Hawthorn East agency founded in 2010 with dedicated AI search pages for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, and a senior SEO lead who now specialises in AI search and AEO. Its 75 Google reviews average 5.0. It suits retail and ecommerce brands that want SEO, paid media and GEO under one roof. The caveats: its case studies show SEO results only, and its homepage growth guarantee needs explaining in writing before you sign.

Worth considering for

  • Separate service pages for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, plus a senior SEO lead focused on AI search [shoutdigital.com.au]
  • Google rating of 5.0 from 75 reviews [google.com]
  • Detailed SEO case studies for Repco, Bondi Sands and Bed Bath N Table [shoutdigital.com.au]

Check before booking

  • No GEO or AI visibility results published.
  • Homepage promises to 'guarantee growth' and says clients pay only once results are delivered; ask how this applies to AI visibility and get the terms in writing.
  • No pricing published.
  • Not verified: ABN, Terms of the results-based payment offer, Partner tier, Pricing, Insurance.

How the score adds up.

Method v1 · GEO agencies
Expertise and capability 17.5 / 25 Established Melbourne agency (2010) with platform-specific AI search pages and a named senior SEO lead focused on AI search and AEO. The method is outlined only broadly and names no tracking tools.
Evidence of work 12.5 / 25 Detailed SEO case studies for well-known retailers, but no AI visibility, citation or AI referral results. SEO-only evidence is partial for GEO.
Customer experience 18 / 20 Google 5.0 from 75 reviews (4.8+ with 50 to 149). Reviews cover the agency overall, not GEO specifically.
Transparency 9 / 15 Named team and three office addresses. No pricing, and the 'only pay once results are delivered' offer is not explained in published terms.
Professional standards 7.5 / 15 Homepage says 'We guarantee growth' and offers a 'guaranteed sales forecast', which sits poorly with how unpredictable AI answers are. The AI search page itself makes no guarantee and admits analytics do not yet capture AI fully. No awards verified.

Total: 65/100 (method v1). Points are rounded for display; the total is rounded once from exact values. Compare scores only within the same category. This is an editorial assessment, not a customer rating.
