What is AiDisco?
AiDisco is a specialist AI SEO and discoverability agency. It focuses on whether a brand is understood, cited, selected and recommended when buyers use ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and other AI-search experiences.
Its framework is: Map the Prompt Universe → Interpret AI narratives → Measure Share of Answer and Share of Buyer Answer → Find White Space → Act through content, authority, citation, entity and technical improvements. The purpose is to connect AI visibility with buyer questions, competitive gaps and commercial action—not simply report whether a brand appeared.
What is NoGood?
NoGood is a growth marketing agency with AEO and GEO capabilities. Its AEO service covers prompt research, competitive analysis, monitoring, content optimisation, earned media, digital PR, citation building and technical infrastructure.
NoGood also offers SEO, paid search, paid and organic social, content marketing, CRO, lifecycle marketing, analytics, performance branding and fractional CMO services. That breadth makes it suitable for businesses seeking one growth partner across several acquisition and conversion channels.
Its AEO measurement includes brand mention frequency, citation rate, share of voice, sentiment accuracy, recommendation position, AI referral traffic, conversions and attributable pipeline or revenue. NoGood says it uses Goodie, an external technology partner, for AI visibility monitoring and related insights.

How the methodologies differ
AiDisco: start with the complete Prompt Universe
AiDisco begins by mapping the Prompt Universe: the connected set of questions buyers may ask across a category and buying journey.
That universe includes category discovery, “best provider”, shortlist, comparison, alternative, suitability, trust, risk, brand and decision-stage prompts. This reduces selection bias and allows performance to be segmented by topic, buyer stage, intent and commercial value.
The next layer is AI Narrative Intelligence. Appearance alone is not enough: a brand may be mentioned but categorised incorrectly, associated with weak attributes, framed unfavourably against a competitor or excluded from the final shortlist. AiDisco analyses those descriptions and claims before determining what needs to change.
NoGood: integrate AEO across the growth system
NoGood presents AEO as part of a unified organic and growth strategy. Its public methodology covers four broad pillars: visibility intelligence and strategy; content and owned-media optimisation; earned media, digital PR and citation building; and technical AEO infrastructure.
This can be valuable when a company needs to improve AI citations alongside paid acquisition, conversion, creative, social or lifecycle marketing. Buyers should confirm how much of the proposed engagement is dedicated to AI-search research and execution and how AEO will be separated from wider channel reporting.
Measurement: visibility reporting or commercial answer intelligence?
Both agencies measure more than rankings, but the terminology and emphasis differ.
AiDisco defines Share of Answer as the percentage of a defined relevant answer set in which the brand appears, with mentions, citations and recommendations reported under a clear rule.
It then isolates Share of Buyer Answer: brand presence within the high-intent prompts buyers use to compare, shortlist and choose providers. This prevents informational visibility from masking weak performance at the point of purchase.
AiDisco also examines competitor ownership and prompt ownership to identify White Space: commercially relevant prompt or narrative territory where demand exists but the brand has weak or no defensible presence.
NoGood publicly reports AI-specific metrics including mention frequency, citation rate, share of voice, sentiment accuracy and recommendation position, then connects them with AI referral traffic, conversions and pipeline or revenue. This is a substantive AEO measurement model, not generic rank tracking.
The practical difference is that AiDisco productises the relationship between the complete prompt market, buyer-intent answer share, narrative framing and White Space. NoGood places AI metrics inside a broader performance and growth measurement system.
Content, authority and citation work
Both agencies treat AI visibility as more than content production. AiDisco’s GEO framework connects prompt coverage with citation-ready content, entity clarity, source influence and authority development. NoGood combines owned content with earned media, digital PR, community presence, reputation management, citation building, schema and architecture.
Choose according to the execution gap: AiDisco for focused intelligence about what AI should understand, say and recommend; NoGood when paid acquisition, social, creative and conversion execution must sit in the same programme.
Pricing
AiDisco’s pricing guide places AI SEO engagements broadly between $2,000 and $15,000+ per month, depending on scope. Its published AI-first tier is $10,000–$15,000+ per month and includes full Prompt Universe mapping, AI Narrative Intelligence, Share of Answer and buyer analysis, citation-focused content, entity optimisation, authority development and ongoing optimisation.
NoGood states that its engagements use custom monthly retainers and that its average retainer is above $20,000 per month. The agency says this supports a dedicated cross-functional squad rather than a standardised package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AiDisco better than NoGood for AI search?
AiDisco is the more specialised option for Prompt Universe mapping, AI Narrative Intelligence, Share of Buyer Answer and White Space. NoGood may be the better choice when AI search must be integrated with a broader growth programme. Neither is the universal winner.
Does NoGood offer AEO and GEO services?
Yes. NoGood publicly offers full-service AEO covering prompt research, monitoring, content, earned media, citations and technical infrastructure. It also publishes GEO guidance and integrates AEO with SEO and other growth channels.
What makes AiDisco different from a standard AI-visibility agency?
AiDisco moves beyond monitoring a selected prompt list. It maps the wider Prompt Universe, interprets brand narratives, separates general and buyer-intent answer share, identifies White Space and prioritises actions by commercial relevance.
Which agency has broader marketing capabilities?
NoGood. Its service portfolio includes paid search, social advertising, organic social, content, CRO, lifecycle marketing, branding, analytics and fractional CMO support in addition to AEO and SEO.
Which agency is more affordable?
Public figures suggest AiDisco’s AI-first tier is lower than NoGood’s stated average retainer. However, scope differs materially: AiDisco concentrates on AI visibility, while NoGood may provide a wider growth squad. Compare deliverables rather than headline prices alone.
How should AI-search performance be measured?
Use a defined prompt universe and repeated runs. Report mentions, citations and recommendations consistently; separate high-intent buyer prompts; analyse narrative accuracy and competitor ownership; then connect changes with qualified traffic, leads, pipeline and revenue.
