Choose the right
AI visibility agency.
Choose an AI visibility agency by what it tests, what it changes on your website and what evidence it shows you. An agency's own ranking or a tool score alone does not establish what it will deliver for you. This page names four Singapore providers with published prices, compares their scope units, and gives the verification questions to ask before signing.
Name the services
you want found.
Agree the actual products or services, customer needs and target markets. If your business serves several areas, keep those locations accurate. A provider question for Kuala Lumpur and a "near me" search from another location are different tests.
Ask for representative questions, but scope the engagement around service coverage. Buying a list of phrases does not mean you have bought an AI recommendation for every phrase.
Tendou scopes Singapore and Malaysian service coverage with Brayden handling technical delivery from Singapore and James handling business development in Kuala Lumpur.
Open the evidence.
Check the context.
Ask to see the actual answer, exact question, platform and capture date. Check whether the business is named, whether its own website is linked, and whether it is recommended as a provider or used as an information source.
A screenshot without a recorded date can illustrate a past observation, but should not be presented as a fresh result. Our dated citation examples and archived screenshots make that distinction explicit.
A useful comparison retains the same questions and context, includes unsuccessful checks and identifies anything that could not be tested. More questions tested should not silently become more improvement claimed.
Ask what changes
on your behalf.
An audit describes the gaps. Implementation changes the agreed pages, factual service information, internal links or technical setup. Ask which of these is included, who supplies the evidence and who verifies the released work.
Your provider should protect working enquiries, useful existing pages and accurate business details. New content needs real service knowledge, photographs or other supporting evidence; a larger page count alone does not demonstrate a better outcome.
For an existing website, access and publishing responsibilities should be clear before work starts. A rebuild, if needed, has its own website scope.
Related work.
Clear boundaries.
AEO means answer engine optimisation; GEO means generative engine optimisation. Both labels are used for work intended to improve discovery through AI answers. Ask for the actual tasks and measurement, because the label alone does not define a service.
Google says existing SEO best practices remain relevant to its AI features, with no special additional optimisation required. Eligibility does not guarantee inclusion. Google's guidance.
Report search clicks and positions separately from AI mentions and citations. If you want a wider SEO campaign across additional keywords, make that a defined scope rather than an assumed part of every AI project.
Published prices
and declared scope.
This comparison is published by Tendou, a competing provider. Tendou is included. Prices were checked against each provider’s published page on 9 November 2026 and may change. Scope units differ between providers; a keyword is not the same deliverable as an agreed buyer question. Verify each claim on the provider's own website before deciding.
| Provider | Published starting price | Scope unit | What to verify |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tendou | S$5,000 project or S$1,000/month, plus S$1,000 one-time website-design setup on the monthly route | Project covers five agreed buyer questions within three months, with website redesign and hosting included | Exact questions, platforms checked, evidence method. Full pricing |
| Exabytes | AI SEO Standard from S$1,090/month (10 keywords, 1 English article); Pro from S$2,180/month (30 keywords, 2 English articles) | Keywords tracked and articles published per month | Which AI platforms are checked, evidence format, article scope and contract terms. Exabytes SEO page |
| Aemorph | Entry tiers S$2,500 to S$7,500/month by application. Audits from S$1,000 one-time and sprints from S$5,000 per website | SEO/AEO/GEO monthly programme, priced per market; audits and sprints are separate offers | Exact deliverables per tier, which platforms checked, reporting. Aemorph pricing |
| Digital Market | AEO/GEO retainers from S$2,000/month | SEO and AEO/GEO services; published AEO/GEO measurement uses 30 buyer questions across five engines | Implementation scope, included engines, evidence format and contract terms. Digital Market AEO and GEO pricing |
What this table does not show: guaranteed outcomes (no provider can guarantee an AI citation), the full depth of each service, or how each provider reports unsuccessful checks. The scope units are visibly different: Exabytes uses keywords and articles, Tendou uses agreed buyer questions, and Aemorph prices its monthly programme per market. A lower starting price with a different unit is not the same offer.
Selection method: these four providers were chosen because they either appear in current commercial AI search samples for Singapore agency queries (ChatGPT, October 2026) or publish a dedicated AEO/GEO service with a starting price. Other Singapore agencies may also offer this work. DigitalMarket and Aemorph each publish their own ranked lists of AEO agencies; those lists use criteria each company set, and each company includes itself.

Check the offer behind an AI shortlist
In one saved Gemini answer on 18 October 2026, the Singapore agency question cited First Page Digital, BestSEO and Stridec. These sources describe or list their own services. Their appearance in that answer is not an independent endorsement, and this small observation does not establish a market ranking.
Scroll sideways on a phone to compare the published offer and what remains to confirm.
| Provider / source | Published model | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| First Page Digital Supplier-authored roundup | The cited page includes its own agency. No starting fee is established here from that article. | Obtain a current quote, implementation scope, platform coverage and dated client evidence. |
| BestSEO Supplier service page | Audit $2,500 one-off; Growth $3,800/month as displayed on its page. | The cited page does not explicitly label the currency. Confirm it, the contract and what implementation follows the audit. |
| Stridec Supplier pricing page | Current pricing page: S$2,500, S$4,500 and S$8,000/month; channel and delivery scopes differ. | Its dated cited article lists different packages. Request a dated quote for the current offer rather than mixing the two pages. |
These offer checks use provider-published pages read on 18 October 2026. We have not independently audited their delivery or outcomes. See the source-origin pilot and downloadable observations for the wider sample and its limits.
Use the same scope
and first term.
Give each provider the same brief. Specify the markets, languages, services and pages you want covered. Record what the quote counts, who makes the website changes and how the provider will show the results.
Compare each quote over the same period. Add setup, recurring fees and mandatory extras using the same tax basis. Check minimum terms, notice and what happens at renewal. If a detail is missing, leave it open until the provider confirms it.
Separate expansion
from upkeep.
Initial work
Agree the service coverage, required evidence, implementation, review points and deliverables.
Expansion
Adding another product, service or genuine market can require more research and implementation. Specify the added scope and price.
Maintenance
Define how existing coverage will be checked, what information is kept current and which fixes are included. Do not assume that maintenance adds unlimited new services.
At Tendou, pricing and delivery phases are agreed before work starts. There is no guaranteed citation, search position or enquiry volume. See published pricing.
Agency, freelancer
or your own team.
Search and AI visibility improve when the website and the business facts change. Before comparing providers, decide who will make those changes each month.
Your own team with a tool
Tracking software reports rankings and AI answers and suggests fixes. It works when someone on staff has the time and access to act on it every month.
A freelancer
One person who can implement. Ask for dated examples of changes they made, who covers when they are away and how results are reported.
An agency
A team that plans, implements and reports, usually with a minimum term. Check which tasks are done by the people you meet and which are passed on.
In-house hire
Direct control, with recruitment and salary costs to consider. Check whether the role covers content, technical work and measurement.
Whichever you choose, keep ownership of your domain, website and Google accounts, and give providers their own user access rather than your passwords. To see why ranking alone is not enough, read why Google visibility does not automatically produce AI recommendations.
Bring the business.
We'll shape the work.
Send your website, the services you want customers to find and the markets you actually serve. We can then discuss the existing evidence, access and the appropriate scope.

Choose on the
work you can verify.
Ask each provider to show one completed answer with its question, date and source links, one Google comparison with equal windows, and one change record that identifies the pages edited. Check whether the example began at a new-domain launch and whether the figures are search clicks or actual customer enquiries.
Then compare the delivery boundary: audit only, access to implement, fact approval, release verification and ongoing coverage. A provider's own ranking or a tool score does not prove the same outcome for your business. You can inspect Tendou's dated client records, including their limits, and compare answer-page work with source and evidence work.
What's holding
your business back?
A website that needs work. Customers who can't find you. A team running on spreadsheets and messages. Start there.
Choose a task.
Then a scope.
If your scope covers several branches or languages, use the location evidence checklist and multilingual fact checks to describe what customers need before comparing quotes.
Our SEO, AEO and GEO priority guide helps identify the work you need before comparing proposals. For a dated example of named and owned-site citation outcomes, read the BJJ Singapore evidence record, including the unsuccessful check.
