GEO Agency Industry Faces a Shakeout
lilyraynyc · x · 2026-07-10
The post quotes a discussion on **SEO/GEO agencies and consultants**, suggesting the industry might be entering a "golden age" similar to periods following major search algorithm updates—provided practitioners deliver honestly and transparently rather than just selling concepts. The quote further notes that many clients demand "guaranteed results," "rankings," "more traffic," "higher prompt volumes," "exact attribution," "scaled content," "Reddit GEO," and "brand mentions." Consequently, the market is seeing a surge of **GEO grifters** eager to meet these demands. The author predicts that clients will eventually be disappointed by buying empty promises, triggering a severe market backlash.
