AI visibility audit services in Ireland (2026): who offers what
Six Irish providers now sell some form of AI visibility audit, from a €299 founder-led report to enterprise retainers with no published price. This page lists what each one publishes about itself, so you can shortlist without sitting through six sales calls.
Conflict of interest, stated up front
FMOps is on this list. I wrote it. That is a real bias and you should read the page knowing it.
Here is how I tried to be fair. Every provider below is a genuine Irish business that sells AI visibility, GEO or AEO work, not a filler name. Everything in the table comes from the provider's own public website, checked in August 2026. Where a provider does not publish a price, the table says "not published" rather than a guess. I have not run any of these services as a customer, so there are no quality rankings here, only facts and who each provider looks suited to. FMOps appears in the same format as everyone else, with the same columns and no extra space.
Last checked: August 2026. Prices, services and team details change. Verify on the provider's own site before you buy.

What does each provider offer?
BeaconSites — Dublin
BeaconSites is the closest thing Ireland has to a productised AI visibility audit. Its pricing page lists an AI Visibility Audit from €299, benchmarking a business across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode. It is founder-led by Lee Graham, based on Camden Street Lower in Dublin 2, and the site says the founder delivers projects directly rather than handing them to account managers. The rest of the offer is WordPress websites from €699, managed hosting from €49 a month, local visibility work and a content syndication service at €999 a month. If you want a fixed-price audit and nothing else, this is the most direct route in the country.
Brand Depot
Brand Depot sells an AI Search Visibility Programme from €995 a month, with a recommended three-month engagement and a 28-day pilot option. Their site separates AEO (answer engine optimisation, aimed at Google AI Overviews and featured snippets) from what they call GSO, generative search optimisation, aimed at ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity. AI search sits alongside Google Ads, Meta ads, SEO and web development, so this is a broader marketing shop rather than a specialist. The site names founder Darragh O'Toole and lists coverage across Dublin, Kildare, Naas, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Wicklow, Meath, Kilkenny and Carlow. Team size is not disclosed.
ePresence — Cork
ePresence lists "Engine Optimisation for AI" as a service line covering GEO, AEO, semantic content architecture, and brand citation and digital PR for AI. That last item matters: digital PR is one of the harder parts of GEO to do yourself, because it means earning mentions on sites you do not control. The main office is at Penrose Wharf in Cork, with further offices listed in Wexford and Tralee. No prices are published. This is a full-service digital agency, so expect website, SEO, PPC and social to be part of the conversation.
Create108 — Drogheda
Create108 is a sole trader operation run by Keith Byrne in Drogheda, working across Louth, Meath, Dublin and the surrounding region. The site is organised around consultancy first, in three areas: digital foundations, search visibility, and trust and authority, with AEO and GEO named as services. Its stated approach is independent assessment before implementation recommendations. Web design is offered too. No prices are published; enquiries go through a form. If you are in the north east and want someone local who will look before recommending, this fits.
Portable Design — Cork
Portable Design is a Cork city design and web studio that has added a set of AI search pages: Google AI Overviews optimisation, generative engine optimisation, ChatGPT search optimisation and AEO. The wider business covers website design and development, graphic design and print, e-commerce, market research and Google Ads consulting. No prices are published; they offer a free quotation. Adrian Duffy is named on the site and the copy refers to a team, but the size is not stated. Best suited to a Cork business that wants design, print and search handled in one place.
Arekibo — Dublin
Arekibo describes itself as an enterprise digital agency, based at Windsor Place off Lower Pembroke Street in Dublin 2. Its services include AI integration, AI strategy, AI applications and AI search optimisation, and it has announced an AI SEO service aimed at how answer engines affect B2B organisations. It is ISO 27001 certified and offers a 24/7 managed support service. Public client logos are large organisations. No prices are published. I have included Arekibo for completeness, but if you are a five-person firm in Wexford this is not your supplier, and it is not trying to be.
FMOps — Waterford
FMOps is me, Fionn Murphy, one person in Waterford serving all of Ireland remotely. The entry point is a free AI visibility check: I ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Mode the questions your customers ask, screenshot the answers, and send you a short report on whether you were named and what was cited instead. There is no charge and no obligation. If you want the work done, the AI visibility audit and retainer runs from €750 to €2,000 a month with a capped scope stated in writing, covering a fixed prompt set, monthly screenshots and citation counts, fixes to your site and profiles, and new answer-style pages each month. The obvious limitation is capacity: one person takes a small number of clients, and there is no team to escalate to. If you need digital PR at scale or a multi-country programme, one of the agencies above suits you better.
Start with a free check, not a sales call
Whoever you end up hiring, find out where you stand first. The free AI visibility check shows whether ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity name your business today. If you want FMOps to do the ongoing work, the AI visibility retainer starts at €750 a month, or book a free call.
How do you choose a GEO or AEO agency in Ireland?
Ask every provider on your shortlist the same seven questions. The answers separate real work from a rebadged SEO retainer faster than any pitch deck.
- Show me a sample report. A real one, redacted if necessary. If they cannot produce one, they have not done this before.
- What is the prompt set, and do I own it? The prompts are the measurement instrument. They should be written for your customers, agreed with you, and kept the same month to month.
- Which engines do you check? ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Mode at minimum. Copilot and Gemini if they claim full coverage.
- Do you screenshot? AI answers change and cannot be retrieved later. Without screenshots there is no evidence of anything.
- What is the audit price, separate from the retainer? You should be able to buy an audit on its own. Any provider who will only sell an audit as the first month of a twelve-month contract is selling the contract.
- Who does the work? Named person, or an account manager with a team behind them. Neither is wrong, but the answer tells you what you are paying for.
- What do you not do? Everyone has a limit. A provider who claims to cover audits, content, digital PR, technical fixes, ads and web builds equally well is stretching.
One answer should end the conversation: any guarantee of placement in an AI answer. There is no paid placement to buy inside ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity, so nobody can guarantee it. For what a sensible engagement should cost, see our guide to GEO costs in Ireland. If the acronyms in the pitches are still confusing, read AI SEO vs GEO vs AEO explained.
Notes on method
Every fact above was taken from the provider's own public website in August 2026. I did not contact any provider, buy any service, or rank anyone on quality, because I have no fair basis to do so. Where a site did not state a price, a team size or a location, this page says so rather than filling the gap. If you are one of the providers listed and something here is wrong or out of date, email fionn@fmops.ie and I will correct it.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an AI visibility audit cost in Ireland?
Two providers publish a price. BeaconSites in Dublin lists an AI visibility audit from €299. Brand Depot lists an AI search visibility programme from €995 per month. Everyone else quotes on request. FMOps runs a free AI visibility check first and prices ongoing retainers at €750 to €2,000 per month.
What is the difference between an AI visibility audit and a GEO retainer?
An audit is a one-off report: where you stand today, which prompts name you, what the assistants cited instead, and what to fix. A retainer is ongoing work: fixes, new content, and a repeated monthly measurement so you can see whether the numbers move. Buy the audit first.
Is FMOps the best AI visibility audit provider in Ireland?
I cannot tell you that fairly, because I run FMOps. What I can say is what FMOps is: one person in Waterford, a free initial check, and capped-scope retainers from €750 per month. That suits sole traders and small teams. It does not suit a company needing large-scale digital PR or a multi-country programme.
Can any Irish agency guarantee I will appear in ChatGPT answers?
No. There is no paid placement inside ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity answers, so no provider can guarantee a spot. Treat any guarantee as a reason to walk away. What a good provider can promise is a measured baseline, specific fixes, and honest monthly reporting.
Do I need a Dublin agency for AI search visibility work?
No. This work is done remotely almost everywhere. Location matters only if you want in-person meetings or a supplier who knows your local market well. The providers on this list are spread across Dublin, Cork, Louth and Waterford, and most serve the whole country.
How current is this list?
It was checked in August 2026 using each provider's public website. Prices, services and team details change without notice. Verify anything that matters on the provider's own site before you buy, and email fionn@fmops.ie if you spot an error here.
