What the table compares
Each row answers the same eight questions from that agency's own site, in the site's words where it has them.
- What it builds: the services its site names.
- Los Angeles presence: whether its site gives an address in Los Angeles or names only the city.
- Small-business focus: whether its site says it works with small businesses.
- Team size: what its site says about its team, with no headcount, or Not stated.
- Pricing: Published when its site states its prices, Starting price published when it states only where they start, Quote only when it publishes no price of its own. The amounts stay on its own site.
- Process: Published when its site sets out the steps of a project.
- Code ownership: Stated when its site says who owns the work once it is paid for, the code and the accounts included.
- Portfolio: Public when its site shows work it has built.
A question a site does not answer reads Not stated, which says nothing about the agency's work. The table gives no score or rank, and its rows run in alphabetical order.

How this page was made
The nine agencies beside Your Wish Is Our Code come from the answers the engines gave when Your Wish Is Our Code asked each of them, in October 2026, for a “GEO agency in Los Angeles (generative engine optimization)”. ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Mode and Perplexity were asked from October 2 to 6 and on October 12 and 13, and Claude, Google AI Mode and Perplexity again from October 18 to 20.
Each answer counted an agency once, however it spelled the name, and the names of platforms and tools, which are not agencies, were left out. The rows are the agencies the answers named most often among those whose own sites sell GEO and show a presence in Los Angeles on a page a reader can open; an address found only in a page's code does not count. Where two were named equally often, the one whose own site the answers cited more came first, then the one the answers named earlier.
Coalition Technologies, the agency the answers named most often, is not in the table: every page of its site that was tried answered with a browser check, and such a check is never solved or worked around for this page, so nothing on its site could be read. Also left out were agencies whose own pages show no presence in Los Angeles, and one whose name holds a word this site does not print.
Each row was read from that agency's own public pages on October 21, 2026, starting with its home page. Nothing in a row comes from anywhere but that agency's own site, the Sources list names the pages each row was read from, and the results and figures an agency claims are left out.
The row for Your Wish Is Our Code is read from its own pages by the same rules, and it sits where its name falls in the alphabet. Each row names the day its site was read, and the page's Published or Updated date is never earlier than any of them. The page leaves out scores and ranks, how many reviews an agency has, prices as amounts and the names of any agency's clients.
