10 Best SEO & AEO Agencies for Cybersecurity Companies in 2026

10 Best SEO & AEO Agencies for Cybersecurity Companies in 2026 (banner v2)

Last updated: October 26, 2026

Roughly 66,000 CVEs. That is where a mid-year forecast from a nonprofit forum of incident response teams, published June 15, 2026, now expects 2026 to land, after the year's disclosures ran 46.3% above its original forecast. The same update found that the share defenders must act on first, flaws already exploited or scored as likely to be, stayed flat.

So the volume went up and the signal didn't. Your buyers live inside that gap every week. They read advisories, vendor blogs and AI summaries all day, and they discount most of it. Whoever runs your search program has to make your product the answer a SOC lead or CISO trusts, in Google and in AI assistants, without adding more noise to the pile.

Our verdict: most security product companies should hire an agency that runs SEO and AEO as one program, publishes its prices and reports dated AI-answer numbers. Pay extra for a security-only specialist only when it can also put security proof in front of you. None of the ten agencies below has published a dated AI-answer result for a named security client, so ask every one of them to show you what assistants say about your category today.

TL;DR

  1. Miraa - Best for SEO and AEO under one fixed monthly plan with dated AI citation reporting

  2. GrowPad - Best for threat-topic hubs and AI prompt tracking on a smaller budget

  3. NUOPTIMA - Best for MSPs and managed security providers that judge SEO on revenue

  4. Siege Media - Best for funded security brands that need links and digital PR at scale

  5. Big Leap - Best for established vendors that want a large, long-tenured team

  6. Nine Peaks Media - Best for growth-stage vendors that report on MQLs

  7. Growtika - Best for security startups that want a CISO-prompt audit and category entity work

  8. Amplifyed - Best for a cybersecurity-only specialist with a senior strategist on the account

  9. Stratabeat - Best for well-funded vendors buying senior strategy at premium rates

  10. Platypus SEO - Best for small security services firms and DevSecOps tools

Why security marketing breaks generic SaaS playbooks

Most B2B SaaS playbooks assume you have to teach the buyer the category. In security, the buyer often knows the category better than the person writing about it, and that changes what an agency has to be good at.

Start with how pages get read. A security architect opens your product page hunting for detection logic, deployment steps and integration details. A line like "stops every attack" loses that reader in one scroll. Your agency needs writers who can interview your engineers and researchers, and an editor who knows which sentences need a subject matter expert to sign off before they ship.

Trust works differently too. Security teams are paid to be skeptical, so outside validation carries a lot of the sale: peer review sites, independent test results, practitioner communities, trade press. AI assistants pull from the same kinds of sources when they build a shortlist, which is why earned mentions and links count as AEO work in this market.

CVE and threat content cuts both ways. When a major vulnerability breaks, searches spike within hours. If you already have an evergreen page for the threat class your product handles, you can update it and rank on authority you've already built. If you publish a thin new post for every advisory, you're adding to the flood the forecast above describes. Good security content also explains a threat without giving attackers a recipe.

Category names move faster than buyer language. XDR, CNAPP, SASE and MDR keep shifting, and analyst reports often introduce buyers to your category before your site does. A good agency maps the words your buyers use for the problem, then builds pages around those words so search engines and assistants file your product correctly.

This guide covers agencies for security product companies and managed security providers. Compliance automation and GRC software sell through a different process, so they're left out here.

For the wider strategy, the B2B SaaS SEO pillar covers keyword selection, page types and measurement.

How we chose

We haven't been a client of any agency on this list. Everything here comes from each agency's own site and its Clutch profile, read on October 20, 2026. To make the cut, an agency had to pass four tests:

  1. A security fit you can check: a cybersecurity service page, a named or described security client, or a security case on its site.

  2. Recent reviews: at least one Clutch review dated within the 12 months before this guide's October 26, 2026 publish date (Miraa has no Clutch profile and is the exception). We quote only reviews from that window.

  3. SEO plus some form of AEO or GEO sold as a service.

  4. A focus outside compliance software, which has its own sales cycle.

Several known names fell out. Some had no Clutch review in the window, one had no reviews at all, and a few had no security page or case we could find. Ten passed, so this is a list of ten.

About the hook: the forecast comes from FIRST, the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams. Its forecasters, Jerry Gamblin and Eireann Leverett, built the mid-year update from CVE data published in the first half of 2026 and posted it on June 15, 2026. The 66,000 figure is a model projection of worldwide CVE publications, so treat it as an estimate. It counts vulnerabilities, it says nothing about breaches or marketing, and we use it because it describes the environment your content competes in.

Clutch quotes below are the headline lines Clutch prints above each review. Review counts and dates are as of October 20, 2026.

1. Miraa

Screenshot of the Miraa homepage

Miraa is an SEO and AEO studio for B2B SaaS and AI companies. It pairs custom AI agents for research and monitoring with human strategists and editors, reports in leads and pipeline, and publishes its prices. It has no cybersecurity service page, no security case study and no third-party reviews, and a security buyer should weigh that first.

Services

Miraa sells the same ten services to every client. Here is how each would apply to a security product:

  • Product-led SEO, with a page for each detection, integration and use case, written the way a SOC team would deploy it

  • Content-led SEO, using B2B SaaS SEO planning so threat explainers feed product pages

  • Technical SEO, which matters most on docs sites carrying years of advisories and release notes

  • On-Page SEO for URLs that already rank but convert poorly

  • SEO Site Migration, common after a security acquisition or rebrand

  • SEO Website Recovery when traffic drops and nobody knows why

  • AEO/GEO, so assistants describe the product accurately when a buyer asks for a shortlist

  • Content Writing built on interviews with your own researchers

  • Link Building through pitches to security publications and partners, with no paid placements

  • Agentic SEO/GEO, where AI agents handle research, content operations and citation monitoring and people make the editorial calls

Technical SEO is the piece to probe. Miraa's case studies describe a Week 1 audit that found crawl budget problems halving a client's index coverage, which is the kind of issue large advisory archives tend to cause.

Pricing

Miraa publishes three plans. Basic Growth costs $2,500 a month, Growth+ costs $3,500 and Hyper-Growth costs $5,000. Each plan carries a qualified-lead target (5 to 10, 10 to 20, and 20+ a month). GEO and AI search visibility sit inside the entry plan.

Clients

The case studies are all SaaS, none in security. The most detailed one covers five sibling cold-outreach domains: Salesforge, Mailforge, Warmforge, Primeforge and Infraforge.

On AI answers, the same study cites Ahrefs data from August 2026 that credits Salesforge with 2,100 citations in Google AI Mode, plus 618 in Gemini and 388 in Perplexity (Ahrefs, Aug 2026). A second, anonymized study for a LinkedIn automation tool says that by week eight the brand was appearing in AI answers for 15 high-intent queries, and that it generated more than 200 qualified leads in its first 90 days.

Summary

Miraa's pitch to a security company rests on method and price, since it has no security proof to show. Fixed prices, AEO in every plan and dated AI citation numbers are more than most agencies here publish, and its technical work fits sprawling docs sites.

Expect gaps. There's no security client on the site, no third-party reviews, and the strongest numbers come from one family of related domains. If you sell to CISOs and run a research team that publishes threat content, you may prefer an agency that has already ranked that kind of content for a named vendor.

Pick it if you're a security product company, especially a SaaS one, that wants SEO and AEO on one fixed monthly price with dated reporting.

It's not for you if you need a published security case before you sign.

2. GrowPad

Screenshot of the GrowPad homepage

GrowPad is a B2B SEO agency founded in 2020, with offices in Dnipro, Ukraine and Alicante, Spain. Its cybersecurity page targets "security software vendors, managed security providers, and security platforms" and promises results measured in demos, SQLs and pipeline.

Services

SEO, GEO and AEO, product and solution pages, and link building aimed at the sources assistants already cite. Two parts of its security method stand out. It builds evergreen hubs for the threats a product addresses, so news-driven updates land on pages that already have authority. And it says security content has to be reviewed by practitioners and explain threats "without publishing details that help attackers." Its Trajectory methodology puts the first 90 days on the queries and AI prompts where security teams build shortlists.

Pricing

GrowPad's two public figures disagree. Its Clutch profile lists SEO packages starting at $2,000 a month. Its own blog roundup of cybersecurity SEO agencies, published September 30, 2026, lists GrowPad at $3,000+ a month. The blog figure is newer and comes from GrowPad itself, so budget for $3,000 and treat $2,000 as a possible floor for a narrow scope. Clutch also shows a $1,000+ minimum project and $50 to $99 an hour.

Reviews

Clutch shows 5.0 from 39 reviews, the latest on Oct 12, 2026, and six of them fall inside the last 12 months, more than any other agency on this list. That newest review, from ABM Cloud's CMO, is headlined "They treat the website as a system, so recommendations go beyond product pages to case studies, author pages, and overall structure." The reviewer, who runs marketing for supply chain SaaS products, says AI search visibility is trending up and that leads now move into the sales pipeline instead of stalling. The one complaint was that early recommendations arrived spread across several documents.

Clients

The cybersecurity page's headline number, a rise from 75 to 586 monthly LLM mentions in 90 days, comes from a logistics software client rather than a security one. Its featured security case is a compliance-heavy platform, which sits outside this guide's scope, and GrowPad's own September roundup admits it hasn't published a named cybersecurity case study yet. Most reviewers on Clutch are software development and IT firms.

Summary

GrowPad has the deepest recent review record here, a sensible threat-hub method and one of the lower entry prices. Its security proof is either unnamed or about compliance software.

Pick it if you're a security software vendor or MSSP on a tighter budget and want threat hubs plus AI prompt tracking.

Skip it if you need a named security product reference before you sign.

3. NUOPTIMA

Screenshot of the NUOPTIMA homepage

NUOPTIMA, founded in 2020, now calls itself "The Lead Engine for MSPs." Its homepage pitches sales-ready leads from Google, ChatGPT and outbound, counted in your CRM, and its case studies lean heavily on managed IT and managed security providers.

Services

SEO and GEO, with AI visibility tracked across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok and Perplexity, plus paid ads and outbound. That mix suits a service business where search has to feed a sales team every month.

Pricing

Not published. Clutch lists a $1,000+ minimum project and $25 to $49 an hour, the lowest hourly rate on this list.

Reviews

Clutch shows 4.9 from 13 reviews. Only one falls in our window: on Nov 26, 2025, the Branding & Content Lead at Globalfy, a business services company, wrote the headline "NUOPTIMA's deliverables were clear." The project covered more than 100 SEO articles. That review is close to aging out of the 12-month window.

Clients

On its case studies page, NUOPTIMA reports taking Microminder Cybersecurity from $0 to more than $1M in SEO-attributed revenue at a 16.6x return. For Cortavo, a managed IT provider, it reports turning $88.5K of SEO spend into $403,330 in contracted sales in 12 months, a 4.6x return. Both are the agency's own figures, and the Microminder case gives no time frame on that page.

Summary

NUOPTIMA reports in money, which few agencies here do, and Microminder is one of the only security results on the list stated as revenue. It's built around service providers, so a product company selling into enterprise SOCs may find the fit loose, and its review record in the last year is a single entry.

Pick it if you're an MSP or managed security provider that measures SEO in contracted revenue.

Skip it if you sell a security product to enterprise teams and need category and analyst-facing content.

4. Siege Media

Screenshot of the Siege Media homepage

Siege Media is a content, digital PR and GEO agency founded in 2012 and based in Austin, with a cybersecurity industry page and a 50+ person in-house team.

Services

Content strategy and production, link building, digital PR, affiliate partnerships, research reports and GEO. The security page says its digital PR team has 7,500+ media relationships and that the average cybersecurity client stays for over two years.

Pricing

Not published. On Clutch, the floor is a $5,000+ project, billed at $100 to $149 an hour.

Reviews

Clutch shows 4.9 from 48 reviews, the latest on Aug 31, 2026. In our window, a Pacaso director wrote on Jul 10, 2026 that "Siege Media's organization and documentation procedures are very impressive," after a content and SEO engagement running from April 2022 to June 2026. The August review, from an online therapy platform, reports a 400% gain in AI visibility on high-priority tracked prompts. Neither client is in security; its one security review on Clutch dates from 2022.

Clients

The security page shows Huntress, Varonis, Panda Security and TransUnion logos. For Huntress, Siege reports more than 3.5K new links in 15 months, a 357% rise in monthly organic blog traffic and a 229% rise in traffic value, without saying which years. It also describes an unnamed B2B cybersecurity client that gained 3,000+ links and 500% organic traffic in a year.

Summary

Siege has the largest link and PR operation here and the strongest security logos. Its recent reviews come from other industries, its prices aren't public and its minimum fits funded companies better than seed-stage teams.

Pick it if you're a funded security brand that needs links, PR and content volume.

Skip it if your budget is under $5,000 a month or you want a small senior team.

5. Big Leap

Screenshot of the Big Leap homepage

Big Leap is a Lehi, Utah agency founded in 2008. Its Clutch description cites Inc. 5000 recognition four years in a row and a 95% client retention rate.

Services

SEO, AI SEO, technical SEO, site migrations, content, digital PR, CRO and paid media, with dedicated tracks for enterprise and B2B SaaS companies.

Pricing

Not published. Clutch gives a $1,000+ project minimum and $100 to $149 per hour.

Reviews

Big Leap has 94 Clutch reviews averaging 4.8. The newest, dated Feb 25, 2026, comes from the Director of Marketing at Coastal Pools, under the headline "I'm impressed by the level of attention Big Leap gives to my account." It's the only review in our window, and it isn't from tech.

Clients

The Venafi case covers a machine identity protection company that hired Big Leap in 2016. The headline numbers are a 105% increase in organic sessions and 3,000+ keyword positions gained. The lead growth figure appears twice on the page with two different values, so we'll only say lead flow grew. None of the results is dated.

Summary

Big Leap is the steady, large-team option, with a decade-long security relationship and a deep review record. The security case is undated, the recent review is from a pool company, and we found no AI search result for a security client.

Pick it if you're an established security vendor that wants a large, stable team for long-term SEO.

Skip it if AI answer visibility is your main goal and you want proof of it first.

6. Nine Peaks Media

Screenshot of the Nine Peaks Media homepage

Nine Peaks Media is a B2B SaaS SEO agency founded in 2009. Its homepage says it serves startups, software, IT, technology and cybersecurity companies.

Services

B2B SaaS SEO strategy, content and link building, with results reported as MQLs alongside traffic.

Pricing

Not published. Its Clutch profile sets a $5,000+ minimum, with hourly rates of $100 to $149.

Reviews

Clutch shows 5.0 from 22 reviews, the latest on Feb 20, 2026. That one is from a former CMO of a blockchain-based cloud company who wanted placements that would build trust within "the highly skeptical crypto and cybersecurity ecosystems." The headline: "Their ability to combine SEO with a high-level understanding of the blockchain ecosystem makes them a rare find." Both of its 2026 reviews lack Clutch's Verified badge, while its older reviews have it.

Clients

The homepage features a cybersecurity company case with organic traffic up 167% and MQLs up 111%, and a brand protection company case with organic traffic up 159% and MQLs up 194%. Neither client is named. Mend.io, an application security company, appears among older Clutch reviewers, for a video project.

Summary

Nine Peaks has two security-adjacent cases reported in MQLs and a recent reviewer from a trust-sensitive category. The cases are anonymous and the newest reviews are unverified, so ask for reference calls.

Pick it if you're a growth-stage security vendor and want an SEO program judged on MQLs.

Skip it if you need named, dated security results in writing.

7. Growtika

Screenshot of the Growtika homepage

Growtika is an SEO, AI search and go-to-market agency in Ness Ziona, Israel, founded in 2019, that mostly works with technical startups. Its cybersecurity sector page opens with "CISOs Ask ChatGPT for Vendor Recommendations."

Services

The security page lays out four workstreams:

  • a CISO-query visibility audit across 500+ security prompts covering SIEM, EDR, XDR, MDR, zero trust and cloud security

  • "security entity architecture," so assistants place a product in the right category (its example is the EDR, XDR and MDR split)

  • an analyst citation strategy

  • threat reports, benchmark data and attack chain walkthroughs structured so AI can extract them

It also offers technical SEO, content, links and PR.

Pricing

Not published. Clutch lists a $5,000+ minimum project.

Reviews

Clutch shows 5.0 from 10 reviews. The only one in our window, dated Jun 15, 2026, is from the VP Marketing at wisor ai, an AI quoting platform for freight forwarders: "What stands out most about Growtika is their ability to get up to speed on a genuinely niche, technical industry." Organic leads grew from a handful in early 2024 to more than 90 in the first half of 2026. The reviewer's one request was more proactive reporting on traffic and ranking trends.

Clients

We found no dated security result on its site or within our Clutch window.

Summary

Growtika has the most security-specific AEO method on the list, built around how CISOs prompt assistants and how security categories get mixed up. The only recent proof behind it comes from freight software.

Pick it if you're a security startup and want a CISO-prompt audit and category entity work before committing to content.

Skip it if you need a recent security case with numbers.

8. Amplifyed

Screenshot of the Amplifyed homepage

Amplifyed's homepage headline reads "The SEO and GEO Agency for Cybersecurity Companies," and its FAQ says it is "likely the only SEO agency in the world exclusively focused on cybersecurity." Clutch lists it as a team of 2 to 9 in Carlsbad, California, founded in 2002.

Services

SEO strategy, GEO for zero-click and AI search, content strategy, technical SEO and migrations, link building aimed at bottom-of-funnel keywords, and site audits. The homepage lists the keyword categories its clients compete in, including threat intelligence platforms, GenAI security, DevSecOps, identity security, vulnerability management, MDR and email security. It promises you'll work with a senior cybersecurity strategist, "never a junior account manager," and says SQLs are the main KPI. Plans default to month-to-month.

Pricing

Not published on its site. Clutch lists hourly rates of $100 to $149 and a $1,000+ minimum project.

Reviews

Clutch shows 5.0 from 1 review, dated Jul 22, 2026. The Executive at My Specialty Dentist, a dental directory, gave it the headline "Amplifyed's attention to detail and precision in strategy were impressive." After a March to July 2026 engagement costing about $20,000, the reviewer reports around 900 clicks a day from Google and rankings for 11,000 key phrases. The one complaint: "I wish their services cost less, but we get what we pay for."

Clients

Its homepage currently displays logos from security companies including OffSec, Netcraft, Portnox, Noma and Uptycs. We found no dated result for any of them, on the site or on Clutch, so this guide has no verified security outcome to report. Ask for two security references and the dates and timeframes behind any numbers they share.

Summary

Amplifyed is the only security-only agency here, and the focus shows in its category lists and its SQL-first reporting. The public proof is thin, though. There is one Clutch review, from a dental directory, and no dated security result.

Pick it if you want a specialist that already speaks your category's language and a senior person on every call.

Skip it if you need several references or dated security results before signing.

9. Stratabeat

Screenshot of the Stratabeat homepage

Stratabeat has worked with B2B companies from Burlington, Massachusetts since 2011, and a banner on its site announces an SEO Agency of the Year win at the 2026 US Agency Awards. It has a cybersecurity marketing page and publishes a cybersecurity SEO guide.

Services

Search and AI search (SEO and GEO), content, digital PR and Reddit marketing, plus web design, analytics and CRO for teams that want one firm to handle the site too.

Pricing

Clutch lists monthly packages at $8,000, $15,000 and $22,000, with a $5,000+ minimum project and $200 to $300 an hour. It's the most expensive agency here.

Reviews

Clutch shows 5.0 from 13 reviews, the latest on Jul 9, 2026. That reviewer, Head of Marketing at a wealth management software company, called the team "collaborative and smart" and credits it with direct sales through AI search and positive AI search mentions. On Feb 23, 2026, a marketer at LBMC, a professional services firm, wrote "The team is strategic and doesn't do fluff work to grab a buck" and reported Q4 website opportunity revenue up 500% year over year. The one pointed criticism in the window came on Dec 24, 2025 from Validity's content lead: "Sell to us a little less."

Clients

Stratabeat's Clutch profile names Freshworks, GE, Intel, Fourth, Appfolio and Provenir. None is a security product company.

Summary

Stratabeat brings senior strategy, a security content practice and a review that ties AI search to closed sales. It's priced for well-funded vendors, and its recent clients are outside security.

Pick it if you're a well-funded security vendor and want a premium strategy and content team.

Skip it if your monthly budget is under $8,000.

10. Platypus SEO

Screenshot of the Platypus SEO homepage

Platypus SEO is a 2 to 9 person B2B SaaS SEO agency founded in 2025. Its cybersecurity page is aimed at engineers, CISOs, CTOs and compliance teams.

Services

SaaS SEO and GEO. The cybersecurity page names penetration-testing-as-a-service vendors, vCISO teams, security consulting firms, and cloud security and DevSecOps tools among the companies it serves. It optimizes for demo requests and free trials, works with your in-house security experts on technical content, and sets an honest timeline: brand awareness in months one to three, then leads from months four to six.

Pricing

Not published. Clutch shows projects starting at $5,000+ and an hourly band of $100 to $149.

Reviews

Clutch shows 4.9 from 7 reviews, the latest on Aug 26, 2026. That one is from the Founder & CEO of digetiers, a German firm that structures enterprise knowledge for AI: "We're impressed that they really understand how SEO works for our industry." In December 2025, Workever's founder praised the team as hardworking and organized.

Clients

Logos on its homepage include RallyUp, Testlio, Agremo, DocShifter and Workever. None is a security company.

Summary

Platypus has a clear security page and a timeline it puts in writing, which is rare. It's young, its reviewers are small SaaS and consulting firms, and it has no published security result.

Pick it if you run a small security services firm or a DevSecOps tool and want a focused SaaS SEO team.

Skip it if you need security proof or AI search results already on the record.

Red flags in a security SEO pitch

You'll hear plenty of pitches. These are the ones to slow down on.

A CVE post for every advisory. Fast coverage of every new vulnerability looks busy and rarely builds authority. Ask how the agency would fold threat content into hubs for the problems your product solves.

No step where your engineers review claims. If the proposal never mentions a researcher or solutions engineer checking technical sentences, expect pages your buyers won't trust.

Fear as the main message. Breach statistics and scare headlines are what security buyers scroll past. Ask for a sample page that shows detection logic or deployment detail instead.

Results with no client name. Several agencies here report security wins for unnamed clients. Confidentiality is a fair reason, so ask for a reference call instead.

AI visibility with no prompt list. Ask which prompts the agency will track for your category, in which assistants, and what those answers say about you today.

Bought links. Competitors and researchers watch security sites closely, and a paid placement that gets noticed costs you credibility. Get the outreach method in writing.

Questions worth asking on every call:

  1. Can you show a security page you ranked, with dates and the client's permission?

  2. Who checks technical accuracy, and how long does that take?

  3. What do you do in the first 48 hours after a major vulnerability in our category goes public?

  4. Which prompts will you track, and in which assistants?

  5. How do you earn mentions on the review sites and publications our buyers read?

If you want a primer on what AI answer tracking involves, our guide on measuring AI search visibility covers the setup.

How to choose for your situation

You're seed or early stage with one product and a small team. You need a handful of high-intent product, integration and comparison pages and a clear category position more than you need volume. Miraa fits if you want SEO and AEO on a fixed plan from $2,500 a month. GrowPad is the cheaper option with the strongest recent review record. Platypus SEO suits services firms and DevSecOps tools.

You're Series A to C in a crowded category. The job is getting named on shortlists and owning the threat topics your product covers. Amplifyed brings security-only focus and named security logos. Growtika brings CISO-prompt audits and entity work. Nine Peaks fits if your board wants everything reported in MQLs.

You're an MSP or managed security provider. NUOPTIMA is built around service providers and reports results as revenue.

You're an established vendor or a funded brand. Siege Media gives you link and PR scale, Big Leap a large and stable team, Stratabeat senior strategy at a premium.

Whatever your stage, rank AEO evidence the same way. A dated AI result for a named security client beats a result from another industry, which beats a described method. Nobody on this list has published the first kind, so make each finalist run your category prompts live on the call. For the link side of the decision, our roundup of SaaS link building agencies goes deeper, and the technical SEO agency list helps if your docs site is the real problem.

If you sell security products to hospitals and clinics, the healthtech SEO agencies list is worth a look as well, since it judges agencies on how they handle clinical review, which this list doesn't test.

FAQ

What does a cybersecurity SEO agency do differently?

It writes for technical buyers, builds content around the threats your product addresses, has your researchers check accuracy, and earns mentions on the review sites and publications security teams already read. It should also track how AI assistants describe your product.

How much does cybersecurity SEO cost?

Published prices on this list run from $2,000 a month (GrowPad's Clutch package; its own blog says $3,000+) to $22,000 a month (Stratabeat's top package).
