How ChatGPT picks agencies in Australia
We asked ChatGPT with web search for the best digital marketing agencies in 50 Australian cities on 24 September 2026. These are the websites it cited most across those answers.
| Website ChatGPT cited | Citations |
|---|---|
| localsearch.com.au | 57 |
| threebestrated.com.au | 49 |
| clutch.co | 24 |
| semrush.com | 13 |
| dossisdigital.com.au | 11 |
| localdigital.com.au | 7 |
| ppc4.com | 7 |
| birdeye.com | 3 |
Most of those citations went to directories and list pages such as localsearch.com.au, threebestrated.com.au and clutch.co, not to the agencies' own websites. AI answers lean on third-party pages to decide who to recommend.
Is this your agency?
Correct your details, add an office, or get your clients onto the Starworks directory pages that AI answers read. Starworks works with agencies that sell AI search work, and you keep the client relationship.
Not listed? We add an agency once its own website describes AI search work. Use the claim link and we will check your site.
How this list is made
On 20 October 2026 we read the websites of 9,688 Australian marketing, SEO and web agencies.
- An agency is listed only when its own website describes AI search work in a full sentence, which we quote on its card with the page it came from. A keyword in a menu is not enough, and neither is an agency that only uses AI to write copy.
- Each office is placed by the postcode on its Google Business Profile, not by the area it says it serves.
- The order is the depth of AI search work described on the site first, then Google rating weighted by the number of reviews, so five stars from two reviews does not outrank 4.9 from two hundred.
- Google ratings are shown as Google reports them. We do not collect reviews of agencies ourselves.
- A city gets its own page once at least four agencies there qualify. Agencies elsewhere are listed on the Australia page.
Questions about AI SEO agencies
How many Australian agencies offer AI SEO or GEO?
As of 20 October 2026, Starworks found 430 Australian agency offices whose own websites describe AI search work, with 10 cities large enough for a page of their own.
What is GEO (generative engine optimisation)?
GEO is the work of getting a business found, described accurately and recommended in AI answers such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity. AI answers lean heavily on third-party pages such as directories and lists, not only on a business's own website.
Can an agency pay to be listed or ranked higher here?
No. Listing and order come only from the agency's own website and its Google Business Profile. An agency can correct its details or ask to be removed.
Where does ChatGPT get its recommendations for agencies?
Across 50 Australian cities we asked ChatGPT with web search for the best digital marketing agencies. The sources it cited most were localsearch.com.au, threebestrated.com.au, clutch.co and semrush.com. Most of those citations went to directories and list pages such as localsearch.com.au, threebestrated.com.au and clutch.co, not to the agencies' own websites. AI answers lean on third-party pages to decide who to recommend.
