Origin story

Founded 2016
— ~8 years as growth marketing —→
GEO practice since ~2024

Founded by Mostafa ElBermawy, a former archaeologist turned self-taught developer and startup growth advisor. CB Insights cites 2016; the founder's own account in a past interview says 2017.

Our take

Best for: Consumer, SaaS, or healthcare brands wanting AEO tied to full growth marketing.

NoGood built AEO as a named core service rather than a bolt-on line, backed by Goodie, a real proprietary platform tracking citations, share of voice, and sentiment across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity — genuine measurement infrastructure most peers in this set don't have. The headline stat often cited for them, a 335% increase in AI-source traffic, comes from a Goodie case study, meaning the tool's own vendor is also NoGood's tech partner rather than a neutral third party. Independent validation is thin either way: Clutch shows a single review, despite a client roster that includes Spring Health, Oura, and Procter & Gamble.

Good fit if

  • You want dedicated AI-visibility tracking (Goodie) alongside full growth marketing
  • You're a consumer, SaaS, or healthcare brand wanting AEO tied to paid media and CRO
  • You value a founder-led agency with a decade of growth-marketing history

Less so if

  • You need independently verified reviews before committing (one Clutch review found)
  • You want a neutral, third-party-audited AI-visibility benchmark rather than a vendor-reported one
  • You want a narrow AEO-only specialist rather than a full growth-marketing suite

Framework vs. execution

Published

Methodology

  • AEO named as a core service, not an add-on
  • LLM visibility audits, technical AEO, entity signals, digital PR
  • Prompt-gap analysis: reverse-engineering buyer questions asked to AI
  • Goodie: proprietary real-time tracking across 4 major LLMs

Source: agency's own published AEO service pages.

Mixed

Independently verified execution

  • Named clients: Spring Health, Oura, Procter & Gamble, ByteDance
  • Headline "335% AI-traffic increase" stat sourced from Goodie itself, not a neutral third party
  • Only one review found on Clutch despite the client roster's scale

Sources: agency's own case studies, Clutch, third-party agency reviews.

Original research

No standalone benchmark study found. Goodie itself functions as an ongoing measurement product (citations, share of voice, sentiment tracking) rather than a one-off research report — the closest equivalent to original research in their public output.
