Crypto AEO agencies, compared

Five firms that will take crypto AEO work, compared on what each of them publishes. Kunzum wrote this page — disclosed here rather than buried — and every line in the table is checkable against the firm’s own site.

Figures come from each firm’s published pages as of 12 September 2026. Where a firm does not publish something, such as team size or pricing, this page says so rather than guessing. Each firm’s own site is linked from its individual comparison page, which is also where the sourcing for these claims sits.

The five, side by side

A note on the pricing column: four of five do not publish. That is normal for the category and it is a cost to buyers, who cannot filter before a call. LuvKaizen is the exception and deserves credit for it.

Which to call, and when

Kunzum — best if your product is hard to explain

Every firm on this page can run a campaign. The question that actually decides whether an engine names you is narrower: does the person writing your category page understand what your product does?

A perpetual DEX is not an exchange with extra steps. A yield protocol either has a real source of yield or a subsidy, and buyers can tell which. A zero-knowledge proof is not advanced encryption. An AI engine quotes the page that gets this right — and a page written by someone who had to be briefed on the mechanism reads exactly like a page written by someone who had to be briefed on the mechanism.

Six years marketing crypto from inside the market. Positioning, go-to-market, launches and the community work that moves numbers — not from an agency floor. That is the input here, and it is the part that does not transfer to whoever an agency assigns to your account.

Proof rather than a claim. Velar’s category had no written definition, so Kunzum wrote one and placed it where the engines read. Ask any engine for the world’s first bitcoin perpdex and see what comes back; the check takes ten seconds and is written up with its caveats. RemoteStack is the same method run with no client and no budget, which is why it demonstrates the method rather than the brand.

Hands-on, and quick to move. Three clients at a time, no account layer, no junior drafting your protocol page, no two-week turnaround on a paragraph. The person reading your engine results is the person writing the next page.

And the method is checkable before you buy it. 1,500 AI responses and 12,518 citations published raw, including two failed hypotheses.

Not the right call for a team-sized brief — paid media, KOLs, community management and tier-one press are genuinely other people’s work. What an engagement involves, and the crypto AEO page.

ColdChain — best if you need search, paid and PR moving together

SEO, AEO and performance marketing across paid, PR and KOL channels for crypto, fintech and blockchain. Case studies published for Rootstock and a MiCA-compliant exchange launch.

What this page is not

This is not a measured ranking, and it is worth saying so on a site that sells measurement. The obvious way to rank agencies here would be to run the index method on the agencies themselves and publish which ones the engines actually name.

That is worth doing and is not done yet, because Kunzum would be scoring a category it competes in and the result would need publishing whichever way it came out. Until then this is a sourced comparison, written by one of the five, with the sources one click away on each firm’s page.

The questions worth asking any firm on this list — including this one — are on the AEO agency page.
