PR and AI visibility for mid-market companies
Best for: Mid-market companies that want PR and AI visibility handled by one senior team
Pricing: Quote only
First step: 30-minute fit call with a co-founder

Notably is our strongest pick for a mid-market company that wants PR and AI visibility from one senior team. Elvis Sun, Medialyst's founder, spent 8 years at Google working on AI systems. He is personally forward deployed into Notably and hand-built its internal AI stack for media lists, journalist research, timely-story monitoring and AI visibility tracking. So we know exactly how good it is, and we're biased. Weigh it accordingly. Notably co-founder Carly Martinetti is Medialyst's Founding Strategic Advisor. She grades our AI media lists against ones she builds by hand, and we publish the Carly Score: we built their AI, and they grade ours in public. Martinetti and co-founder Carin Warner lead a fully remote, senior-only team across industries. Their approach starts with human behavior and pull; Narrative Lab adds original research, coined terms and op-eds. Notably reports Gerben IP's AI-driven leads rising from about 20 a month in early 2025 to an average of 150 in 2026, plus 400+ placements for an AlEn USA survey. Its site documents work for Red Wing Shoes, Dynatrace, TealBook and nference, and lists a 2026 Effie, Bulldog, Stevie, PR Club Ringer Award, Qwoted Agency 50 recognition and three Best Pitch of the Year wins. Pricing is by proposal.
For clients Give Notably's senior team the earned-media brief and buyer questions to track. It can use Medialyst for media-list building, journalist lookup, timely Radar opportunities and AI-visibility work, then connect what changed to the next campaign.
Pros
- Forward-deployed access to Medialyst's AI stack
- Co-founder-led, fully remote senior team across industries
- Public Carly Score sets a visible bar for AI media lists
- Published AI lead and earned-media results
Cons
- Pricing is not published
- Our close relationship means this ranking is not arm's length; use the linked public evidence to check it

PenVine
All-senior B2B technology PR for generative discovery
Best for: B2B technology companies creating or defending a category
Pricing: Quote only
First step: Contact the senior team

PenVine is an all-senior B2B technology PR agency with team locations listed in New York, California and Florida. Its AI visibility work starts with an audit, then combines earned media, analyst recognition, customer validation, entity accuracy and retrieval-ready owned content. The agency names ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, and publishes the measures it uses: share of model, citation share, answer position, narrative accuracy and competitive movement. That level of method makes PenVine a strong fit for a technology company creating a category or trying to become the trusted name in an existing one. Its site also documents work spanning startups through Fortune 500 companies, plus IPO, acquisition and US-market expansion programs. Pricing is not public, and its concentration in enterprise AI, cybersecurity, fintech and adjacent technology sectors is a boundary, not a generalist claim.
For clients Use the audit to find where a technical category lacks authority, then coordinate media, analysts, executive expertise and entity facts around one defensible position.
Pros
- All-senior B2B technology team
- Four named answer engines and published measurement fields
- Media and analyst authority included
- Offices or team locations in three US regions
Cons
- Pricing is not published
- B2B technology focus will not fit consumer campaigns

Ruder Finn
Global communications with proprietary LLM monitoring
Best for: Global enterprises managing reputation across markets and models
Pricing: Quote only
First step: Connect with the New York headquarters

Ruder Finn is the enterprise option: an independent global communications group with a New York headquarters and teams across more than 30 countries. Its rf.aio offer monitors how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Llama answer brand questions, scoring awareness, accuracy, affinity and amplification before recommending remediation. That service sits inside an established communications business covering health, technology, brand experience, stakeholders and workplace issues, so a multinational can connect LLM reputation work to campaigns across regions. The firm also gives buyers something concrete to inspect: a public rf.aio launch and a live site built around a custom conversational interface, alongside traditional campaign case studies. The tradeoff is fit. This is a large global network for complex enterprise assignments, not the small senior pod a growth company may want, and neither fees nor a standard starting scope are published.
For clients Coordinate an LLM reputation baseline and remediation plan across countries while the same network handles corporate, health, technology or stakeholder communications.
Pros
- New York headquarters and network across more than 30 countries
- Proprietary offer covering four named LLMs
- Communications, reputation and technology capabilities under one group
- Public launch explains the monitored dimensions
Cons
- Pricing and standard scope are not published
- Large-network model may be more than a smaller company needs

High Vibe PR
Boutique PR for gaming, Web3 and AI culture
Best for: Gaming, Web3 and AI brands that want a small senior team and a capped client list
Pricing: Quote only
First step: Contact the senior team
High Vibe PR is the specialist here for gaming, Web3 and AI brands in entertainment and culture. It lists offices in New York, Berlin and Manila, never takes more than five clients at a time, and describes its working model as close to an in-house team. The proof is specific to that world: positioning Overwolf around in-game user-generated content, launching a $275 million gaming fund, token launches and crisis communications for what the agency calls the world's largest crypto hack. Its AI practice connects earned coverage with visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and publishes a six-month gaming case with more than 80 earned placements and 18 executive interviews. This is a vertical choice, not a general-purpose agency. Pricing is not public, and the hard client cap means availability can be limited.
For clients Bring in a senior specialist for a game, token, fund or AI-entertainment story where category context and access to gaming or crypto media determine the pitch.
Pros
- Gaming, Web3 and AI-culture specialization
- Client roster capped at five
- Offices in New York, Berlin and Manila
- Named campaigns and a published AI-era gaming result
Cons
- Deliberately narrow vertical focus
- Pricing is not published and capacity is capped

SPM Communications
Consumer and franchise PR with Engineered Brand Discovery
Best for: Restaurant, food, retail, pet-care and franchise brands
Pricing: Quote only
First step: Project inquiry

Dallas-based SPM Communications specializes in restaurant, food, retail, pet-care and franchise brands. Its named AI-search service, Engineered Brand Discovery, combines a visibility audit, consumer-question mapping, message development, earned and owned content, and monthly reporting across five major LLMs. The strongest reason to shortlist it is a published Home Helpers Home Care case: SPM reports that targeted franchise prompts began surfacing the brand where it previously had no AI visibility, with 83 citations of new pages, a 16% increase in mention rate for the target topic cluster and a 26% increase for one prompt after an earned placement. Those are agency-reported figures, but the prompts, deliverables and outcomes are more inspectable than a generic promise. Its industry depth is also the limitation. A B2B infrastructure company should choose a specialist elsewhere, and pricing is not public.
For clients Map the questions consumers or prospective franchisees ask, then coordinate national earned media and structured brand content around the gaps that appear in those answers.
Pros
- Clear consumer, restaurant and franchise specialization
- Named GEO service with monthly reporting
- Published client result with prompt and citation measures
- Dallas base and national brand experience
Cons
- Pricing is not published
- Consumer and franchise focus is a poor fit for complex B2B technology

Edge Marketing
Authority and AI discovery for regulated industries
Best for: Legal, accounting, compliance and professional-services firms
Pricing: Quote only; most retainers run 6 to 12 months
First step: Free 15-minute consultation

Edge Marketing is the narrowest professional-services specialist on the list. The Minneapolis-based firm works in legal technology, accounting, compliance, cybersecurity, financial services and related regulated markets. Its GEO service covers visibility audits, entity consistency, retrieval-ready content, third-party citations and reporting across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. Earned authority sits at the core: the agency lists media and analyst relations, executive bylines, crisis planning and trade-publication placements, with experienced professionals working directly on accounts. Edge also publishes more buying detail than most finalists. Its FAQ says strategic retainers commonly run six to twelve months, and an agency document offers a free 15-minute consultation. A case-study library includes a website and GEO program tied to a 10% top-line revenue increase in four months, although that mixed program does not isolate GEO as the cause. The vertical expertise is valuable precisely because it is narrow.
For clients Build authority with the trade publications, analysts and executive content that regulated buyers check, while monitoring whether AI tools retrieve the firm's credentials accurately.
Pros
- Deep legal, accounting and regulated-industry focus
- Four named answer engines
- Senior professionals stay on the work
- Publishes common retainer length and a consultation path
Cons
- Retainer prices are not published
- Six-to-twelve-month strategic terms will not suit a short launch

Keeton PR
Senior B2B PR guided by proprietary AI-search analysis
Best for: GovTech, industrial and B2B companies with complex products
Pricing: Quote only
First step: Contact form

Keeton PR is a Denver-based independent agency for GovTech, industrial, technology and B2B organizations. Its AI Search Visibility service uses the agency's Unprompted software to examine presence, share of voice, citations, earned-media influence and content gaps across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and other tools. The important distinction is how the firm describes the handoff: cited outlets and source gaps guide the PR strategy, and the answer may be a placement or an owned product page. That keeps the analysis tied to communication work instead of assuming every gap is a media problem. Keeton says it has served clients for more than 20 years, uses senior-level talent and works from bootstrapped startups through global public companies. Its site includes client feedback and current coverage examples, but no named AI-visibility case with before-and-after model results. Pricing and a standard engagement term are also not published.
For clients Translate a complex public-sector or industrial product into a media narrative, then use source and citation analysis to decide where earned coverage can strengthen discovery.
Pros
- GovTech, industrial and B2B specialization
- Proprietary analysis tied directly to PR opportunities
- Denver base and more than 20 years in business
- Senior-level delivery model
Cons
- No published AI-visibility before-and-after case
- Pricing and engagement terms are not published

Axia Public Relations
Packaged AI Relations with defined campaign cadence
Best for: Companies that want a scoped annual program with media-campaign quotas
Pricing: Quote only
First step: AI Visibility Snapshot: free or low-investment

Jacksonville-based Axia Public Relations packages AI visibility as AI Relations, with earned media, thought leadership and ongoing monitoring at the center. Its service page names ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's Gemini experiences, and describes an entry snapshot plus Core, Pro and Custom programs. More unusually, it publishes delivery structure: annual tiers specify the number of earned-media campaigns, news releases, analyst or association activities, monthly AI Visibility Scorecards and quarterly reviews. That makes Axia useful for a buyer who wants a defined cadence to compare against other proposals. The firm also states that it works with regional and national companies and publishes sample coverage reports and client examples. The caution is evidence: the public pages explain outputs in detail but do not show a named client before-and-after AI result. Prices are not published, and the snapshot is described as free or low-investment rather than unconditionally free.
For clients Choose a defined annual campaign cadence, then use the monthly scorecard and quarterly review to connect earned outputs with observed changes in AI answers.
Pros
- Publishes tier deliverables and reporting cadence
- Four named AI experiences
- Earned media and thought leadership included
- Jacksonville base with regional and national programs
Cons
- No named before-and-after AI visibility case
- Pricing is not published
