GEO (generative engine optimization) and AEO (answer engine optimization) are the practices of earning recommendations from AI platforms when prospective customers ask for provider suggestions – a channel that is becoming an increasingly common entry point for B2B buyers in freight, logistics, and supply chain. To identify which agencies do this best for transportation and logistics companies, our research team evaluated 34 agencies with documented GEO and AEO capabilities.
Below are the factors used in our assessment, ranked by weight:
- AI Visibility (25%): How consistently the agency gets transportation and logistics clients recommended when prospective customers ask AI platforms for provider recommendations.
- Transportation and Logistics Specialization (20%): Depth of industry knowledge and understanding of how transportation and logistics businesses operate.
- GEO/AEO Expertise (20%): Hands-on expertise in the mechanics of GEO and AEO.
- Notable Clients (15%): Documented experience serving transportation, logistics, freight, or supply chain clients.
- Leadership Experience (10%): The leadership team’s career depth in digital marketing and their firsthand experience building and executing GEO programs for transportation and logistics clients.
- Average Review Score (10%): Aggregate ratings across Google, Clutch, and G2.
We identified the following agencies as the top transportation and logistics GEO partners for companies looking to capture customers from the growing field of AI-driven search.

First Page Sage
Two things separate First Page Sage from the rest of this field: they have spent nearly two decades working with freight carriers, third-party logistics firms, and supply chain providers, and their president, Evan Bailyn, pioneered GEO as a service in 2023 before most agencies had begun conceptualizing how to optimize content for AI. Those two facts help explain why First Page Sage is the only agency on this list to earn a 5.0 on GEO/AEO Expertise and why their AI Visibility score of 4.9 leads the field by a meaningful margin.
They have built a deep bench of freight and logistics content across asset-based carriers, third-party logistics providers, freight technology platforms, and supply chain consultancies. That content is designed to drive both reputation and qualified leads by getting clients named when shippers and brokers ask AI platforms for recommendations. For transportation and logistics providers evaluating GEO/AEO partners, the combination of industry and GEO expertise puts First Page Sage in a category of its own.

| Summary of Online Reviews |
| One freight tech client said the team “got us showing up when brokers ask ChatGPT for recommendations.” Another mentioned “leads actually started coming in around month four.” Several reviewers stuck with them for years. |
Genevate
Founded in 2025 by PR and communications leader Brett Kleinberg, Genevate was built for the generative AI era rather than retrofitted from an older SEO model. Their team focuses on a part of GEO/AEO that most agencies overlook: not just whether AI platforms name a company, but whether they describe it accurately. Genevate uses strategic PR and citation building to shape how AI platforms characterize a brand, ensuring a company gets represented as the specialist it actually is.
They are a newer agency, so their portfolio is still developing, and their leadership experience score reflects that. That said, Genevate is a strong fit for logistics companies looking for GEO who are comfortable working with a newer firm.
- AI Visibility: 4.6
- T&L Specialization: 4.1
- GEO/AEO Expertise: 4.8
- Notable Clients: Missionary Expediters & Cargo
- Leadership Experience: 4.2
- Average Review Score: 4.8
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| Clients describe Genevate as a company that “makes sure AI actually describes us right, not just that we show up.” A few clients pointed out they’re “still pretty new, so their portfolio’s thinner than other options.” |
Focus Digital
Focus Digital brings enterprise-level GEO/AEO methodology to smaller transportation companies at a price point larger agencies cannot match. Clients receive founder-level attention, clear reporting, and realistic timelines, making the agency a strong fit for regional carriers, smaller freight brokers, and supply chain firms priced out of larger agencies but still seeking placements in AI-generated results.
Their scope is deliberately narrow, and the trade-off is industry coverage. Their case study portfolio leans toward professional services, manufacturing, and home services, so transportation clients should plan to review industry-specific content for accuracy before it goes live.
- AI Visibility: 4.2
- T&L Specialization: 4.3
- GEO/AEO Expertise: 4.5
- Notable Clients: Bowker Transport
- Leadership Experience: 4.3
- Average Review Score: 4.8
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| Focus Digital clients appreciate that the team is “straight with us about what is realistic.” One client noted that they saw themselves “show up in AI answers within a few months.” Reviewers note that “replies slow down when they’re busy.” |
Driven Metrics
Driven Metrics delivers an enterprise-grade GEO/AEO framework at a price that growth-stage companies can manage. Their operating model centers on weekly syncs, transparent reporting, and conversion tracking rather than raw traffic counts, so content that fails to earn citations or generate leads gets identified and reworked quickly. For a logistics company seeking disciplined, high-end GEO/AEO execution without the large-agency price tag, that combination is difficult to find elsewhere.
A couple of considerations are worth noting. Driven Metrics has respectable experience in transportation and logistics, but its client base is still growing, so depth within any specific freight category or logistics model may be thinner than at a more established firm. Transportation companies will get the best results by investing time upfront to help the team understand their operational model so the content accurately reflects how buyers in that niche search.
- AI Visibility: 4.4
- T&L Specialization: 4.0
- GEO/AEO Expertise: 4.4
- Notable Clients: AutoStar Transport Express
- Leadership Experience: 4.3
- Average Review Score: 4.7
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| One client said, “We got results with no excuses, which was refreshing.” Another liked that they “got timely reporting.” However, some noted their “more limited transportation experience.” |
Virayo
Virayo has a strong track record in marketing for freight and logistics companies. They published a case study with specific traffic and lead figures from their engagement with Truckstop, one of the largest load boards in North America. They have also delivered results for TruckLabs and last-mile platform Onfleet. That track record matters for GEO/AEO because the authority and citation work that drove organic rankings for these clients is the same work that gets them named when brokers or carriers ask AI tools for recommendations.
Virayo leans more heavily toward SEO than GEO/AEO, and transportation competes for attention alongside a broad B2B SaaS roster. For a logistics or freight tech company seeking proven search fundamentals with a credible, expanding AI layer, Virayo is still a strong choice.
- AI Visibility: 3.8
- T&L Specialization: 4.5
- GEO/AEO Expertise: 3.9
- Notable Clients: Truckstop, Onfleet, TruckLabs
- Leadership Experience: 3.8
- Average Review Score: 4.8
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| A transportation software client called them “super responsive and easy to work with.” One noted their work “leans more toward SEO than strong AI strategy.” |
Elevation Marketing
Elevation has served B2B transportation and logistics clients for over two decades, long enough that the vertical is a core part of their practice rather than an adjacent one. They run a dedicated trucking and logistics offering and bring serious leadership depth: President Scott Miraglia has held COO and CFO roles at a major regional agency and has helped place companies on the Inc. 5000 list five times.
Elevation is still catching up with their GEO and AEO services. Their core toolkit is built around ABM, demand generation, and integrated B2B campaigns, and the AI practice is newer than those offerings. Companies whose primary goal is maximizing citation volume will find a better fit elsewhere, but for a transportation company seeking a seasoned, full-service B2B partner with genuine freight knowledge, Elevation is a compelling option.
- AI Visibility: 3.2
- T&L Specialization: 4.7
- GEO/AEO Expertise: 3.5
- Notable Clients: Chasewater Industries, Caterpillar, GE
- Leadership Experience: 4.5
- Average Review Score: 4.3
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| Clients note that they “actually get how B2B buyers think.” A few felt the agency was “pricier than the smaller shops we looked at,” but most noted that “nothing felt cookie-cutter.” |
