10 AI SEO Agencies in Singapore to Consider (2026)

‍Key Takeaways

• AI search traffic grew 527% year-over-year in 2025, and Gartner projects traditional search volume will drop 25% by 2026.
• Of the 10 agencies reviewed, only 2 publish AEO-specific pricing on their websites. Most bundle AEO into broader SEO packages without a separate price point.
• Only 4 out of 10 agencies on this list have a dedicated AEO/GEO service page with a named methodology. The rest offer it as an add-on to existing SEO packages.

Methodology note: This list is based on publicly available information as of March 2026. We evaluated agencies on AEO/GEO service depth, published thought leadership, pricing transparency, team visibility, proprietary tools, and client evidence. For transparency, we have included our agency (Underscore) in this list, using the same evaluation framework applied to other agencies for an unbiased review.

What Is AI Search Optimisation (and Why Does It Matter in 2026)?

AI search optimisation is the practice of structuring your brand's online presence so that AI-powered tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Copilot) can discover, understand, and cite your content as a trusted answer. It goes beyond ranking on a search engine results page. The goal is to become the answer that an AI system confidently recommends.

This matters because search behaviour has fundamentally shifted. According to McKinsey's 2025 report, half of all consumers now use AI-powered search, and this trend stands to influence USD 750 billion in consumer spending by 2028. Meanwhile, Semrush reports that AI search traffic grew 527% year-over-year in 2025.

For businesses in Singapore, the implications are direct. If your brand is invisible to AI search tools, you are losing opportunities to be discovered by potential customers against competitors who are visible. This is especially true in high-research categories like legal services, fintech, SaaS, and professional services.

AEO vs. GEO vs. SEO: What's the Difference?

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) focuses on ranking web pages on Google's traditional results page through keywords, backlinks, and technical performance.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) focuses on ensuring your content can be extracted as an answer and cited by AI systems responding to user queries. It prioritises structured data, entity clarity, and content that can stand alone as a factual response.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) focuses on ensuring your brand appears in AI-generated summaries, recommendations, and narratives. It emphasises brand authority, citation-worthiness, and presence across the sources that LLMs pull from.

In practice, most agencies bundle AEO and GEO because they share tactics that strengthen both answers and brand authority. The distinction matters more for understanding what you are buying rather than choosing between them.

How We Evaluated the Best AI Search Agencies in Singapore

We scored each agency across six criteria:

All 10 Agencies at a Glance

The 10 Best AI Search Agencies in Singapore

1. First Page Digital

Overview
First Page Digital is one of Singapore's largest digital marketing agencies and a Google Premier Partner. The agency has expanded its traditional SEO offering to include dedicated AI SEO and AEO services, positioning itself as an enterprise-grade option for brands with serious budgets. The team numbers over 100 staff across multiple markets.

AEO/GEO Services
AI SEO strategy, schema markup implementation, E-E-A-T framework optimisation, AI visibility tracking via their proprietary NexSEO™ tool, content authority building, and technical SEO for AI crawlability. They offer both project-based audits and ongoing retainers.

Unique AEO Angle
First Page Digital built NexSEO™, a proprietary tool that tracks how often a brand is recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI platforms. This gives clients a measurable dashboard for AI visibility, something most agencies still lack.

Pricing: AEO-specific retainers are priced on consultation. No published AEO pricing is available on their site.

Notable Clients / Case Studies: First Page Digital serves enterprise clients across Asia-Pacific. Specific AEO case studies are not publicly listed, though the agency has extensive traditional SEO results published on its site.

Team Transparency: The agency has a visible leadership team, though day-to-day delivery is handled by account managers and specialists. Clients typically work with a designated team rather than directly with senior leadership.

Strengths

• Proprietary NexSEO™ tool for tracking AI brand mentions
• Strong technical SEO foundation that translates well to AEO
• Scale and resources to handle large, complex engagements

Considerations

• AEO is layered onto an existing SEO engine. It is an add-on, not the core business.
• Enterprise pricing puts it out of reach for most SMEs

Verdict: First Page Digital is the safest choice for enterprises that want AI search capabilities bolted onto a proven, large-scale SEO operation. If you are an SME with a budget under SGD 5,000/month, this is probably not the right fit.

‍

2. Hashmeta

Overview
Hashmeta is a Singapore-based digital marketing agency with over 12 years in market and a team of 50+ in-house specialists. The agency has repositioned itself aggressively around AI-first marketing, with explicit SEO + AEO + GEO service lines. It has worked with over 1,000 brands across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and China. Hashmeta also operates StarNgage, an influencer marketing platform with 2 million+ active influencers.

AEO/GEO Services
AI visibility audits, AEO strategy development, entity optimisation, structured data implementation, content engineering for AI citation, and ongoing AEO management retainers. They also offer a 90-day AEO implementation framework.

Unique AEO Angle
No distinct AEO angle identified. Hashmeta describes a combined SEO + AEO + GEO approach with a phased implementation timeline, but this is standard across most agencies offering AI search services. Their site does not surface a proprietary tool, original framework, or differentiated AEO methodology.

Pricing: Ongoing AEO management starts from SGD 2,000 to SGD 6,700 per month, per their publicly listed range. Initial audits and strategy engagements are priced separately.

Notable Clients / Case Studies: Hashmeta lists brands including Alibaba Group, PayPal, DBS, Coca-Cola, and Capitaland across its broader digital services (primarily via StarNgage). AEO-specific case studies are not publicly available at time of writing.

Team Transparency: The agency provides specialist teams. While leadership is visible, the size of the agency means clients may not always work directly with senior AEO strategists.

Strengths

• Explicit three-layer AEO framework with phased implementation
• Strong published thought leadership (AEO checklists, AI search comparisons, strategy guides)
• Regional presence across Southeast Asia

Considerations

• The volume of published content feels partly self-promotional, which can make it hard to separate thought leadership from marketing
• AEO-specific case studies with measurable outcomes are not yet publicly available

Verdict: Hashmeta is a strong option if you want a mid-to-large agency that has genuinely leaned into AEO as a core service. The three-layer framework is well-articulated. Verify AEO-specific results before committing to a retainer.

‍

3. Impossible Marketing

Overview

Founded in 2012, Impossible Marketing is one of Singapore's most visible digital agencies with over 2,000 clients served and 700+ positive reviews. The agency holds Google, Meta, and TikTok partner status, and has won multiple awards including Search Marketing Agency of the Year. It has added GEO and AEO to its service lines.

AEO/GEO Services

AI SEO strategy, GEO implementation, AEO optimisation, content alignment for AI platforms, authority building, and ongoing monitoring. Services are positioned under their broader "AI SEO" umbrella.

Unique AEO Angle

No distinct AEO angle identified. Impossible Marketing's AEO/GEO service page describes standard AI search optimisation deliverables (content optimisation, authority building, visibility tracking) without a named methodology, proprietary tool, or differentiated framework.

Pricing: AEO/GEO-specific pricing is not published separately. Pricing is bundled into broader packages.

Notable Clients / Case Studies: Over 2,000 clients served. Specific named clients and AEO-specific case studies are not publicly listed, though the agency's review volume (700+) provides strong social proof for overall service quality.

Team Transparency: The agency has visible leadership and a founder-led brand. Team members are featured on their site, though specific AEO specialists are not individually profiled.

Strengths

• Largest review volume of any agency on this list (700+ reviews)
• Multi-award-winning with strong local brand recognition
• Pioneer status in Singapore's AI SEO space

Considerations

• AEO/GEO appears to be a newer addition to an already broad service portfolio. Depth of specialism is harder to verify.
• No publicly available AEO-specific case studies or measurable AI visibility outcomes

Verdict: Impossible Marketing is a safe, reputable choice if you want an established local agency that is moving into AEO. The sheer volume of reviews and awards provides comfort. If you specifically want an AEO-first specialist, you may find the offering is broader than deep.

‍

4. Underscore

Overview

Underscore is a boutique digital consultancy based in Singapore, founded by Zhiliang. The team is intentionally small (two people), with a deliberate focus on AEO as a core service. Underscore positions itself as an infrastructure-first AEO consultancy that helps SMEs gain visibility across AI search tools by fixing the website architecture and entity signals that most brands overlook. The agency has developed a proprietary methodology, the 7 Signals Framework, which organises AEO into three tiers across seven distinct dimensions.

AEO/GEO Services

Complimentary 7-day snapshot audits (infrastructure gap analysis, competitive context, brand representation review, visibility snapshot across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews), AEO strategy engagements, monthly AEO partnerships, structured data implementation, entity optimisation, and AI crawlability improvements. Engagements follow a phased delivery model: Brand Signal Foundation → Audience-First Prompt Mapping → Owned Presence Audit → External Presence Audit → Signal Engineering → Measurement.

Unique AEO Angle

Underscore built the 7 Signals Framework, a tiered AEO methodology that maps seven dimensions AI systems evaluate when deciding whether to recommend a brand: Brand, Experience, Content, Search, Social, Authority, and Agent. These are organised across three tiers. Tier 1 (Strategic Foundation) covers brand positioning. Tier 2 (Owned Presence) covers on-site experience, content, and AI agent accessibility. Tier 3 (External Presence) covers search performance, social footprint, and third-party authority. Each signal has a dedicated guide published on the agency's site.

The framework is supported by a 4-source prompt mapping methodology (CRM → User Research → SEO Data → Social Listening) that claims up to 80% prompt accuracy compared to tool-generated lists. Most agencies reverse-engineer prompts from tools. Underscore builds them from real buyer conversations and data.

Pricing: AEO Partnership engagements start from S$1,500/month. Audit and strategy projects are scoped separately. A complimentary 7-day snapshot audit is available.

Notable Clients / Case Studies: As a boutique agency, Underscore's client base is smaller and more focused. Case studies are available on request. The team publishes original thought leadership on AEO topics through its blog and dedicated signal guides.

Team Transparency: Fully transparent. Clients work directly with the founder (Zhiliang) and the experience lead (Joan). There are no account managers in between. Every deliverable is touched by the people you speak to.

Strengths

• Uses 7 Signals Framework with dedicated guides per signal, the most structured AEO methodology on this list
• 4-source prompt mapping methodology grounded in real buyer data
• Complimentary 7-day snapshot audit as a low-commitment entry point
• Direct founder access with no layers of account management

Considerations

• Small team limits capacity. Underscore can only serve a limited number of clients at any time.
• Less suited for enterprise-scale engagements requiring large teams or regional rollouts

Verdict: Underscore is the right fit if you are an SME that wants a genuine AEO specialist with a structured methodology and founder-level attention. The 7 Signals Framework is a meaningful differentiator, offering a level of specificity most agencies on this list have not published. If you need a 50-person team or have a presence across 10 markets, this is not the agency for that.

‍

5. OOm

Overview

OOm has been in the Singapore digital marketing space since 2006. With 50 to 200 employees, over 30 marketing awards, and Google Premier Partner status (top 3% of agencies in Singapore), it is one of the most established agencies in the market. OOm has expanded to the Philippines, China, and Hong Kong.

AEO/GEO Services

GEO strategy, AEO content optimisation, AI visibility audits via their proprietary GEO Scout™ tool, technical SEO for AI crawlability, and SEO Cloud Platform for campaign management.

Unique AEO Angle

OOm built GEO Scout™, a proprietary tool that scores your brand's visibility across generative AI platforms. This gives clients a quantifiable starting point and ongoing benchmark for AI search performance. Combined with their SEO Cloud Platform, they offer a tech-stack approach to AI search management.

Pricing: No published AEO/GEO-specific pricing is available on their site.

Notable Clients / Case Studies: OOm lists testimonials from clients including One Futureworld on its GEO page. Broader client list spans over 100 sectors. AEO-specific case studies with measurable outcomes are limited.

Team Transparency: OOm's leadership team is visible on their website and agency profiles. The agency's size means delivery is handled by specialist teams rather than founders.

Strengths

• Proprietary GEO Scout™ tool provides measurable AI visibility data
• Deep SEO heritage (18+ years) and Google Premier Partner status
• Broad sector experience across 100+ industries

Considerations

• GEO/AEO is an add-on to a very broad service offering. It is unclear how much of the team's time and expertise is dedicated specifically to AI search.
• Published AEO/GEO thought leadership is growing but still limited compared to agencies where AEO is the core focus

Verdict: OOm is a strong choice if you want a proven, full-service agency with a proprietary tool for AI visibility measurement. If you want a specialist that lives and breathes AEO every day, the breadth of their offering may dilute the focus.

‍

6. NEO360

Overview

NEO360 is a Singapore-based digital marketing agency founded in 2011 with 11 to 50 employees. The agency positions itself as a 360-degree marketing consultancy, and has recently built a dedicated AI SEO practice that explicitly combines AEO, GEO, and traditional SEO into one unified strategy.

AEO/GEO Services

AEO content optimisation (for Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot), GEO strategy (for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity), traditional SEO, AI visibility tracking, and omnichannel content distribution.

Unique AEO Angle

NEO360 built the Strategy DNA Framework, a three-part methodology that maps Brand DNA (your positioning and differentiators), Audience DNA (the exact questions your buyers ask AI), and Competitor DNA (how AI perceives your competitors and where gaps exist). Each component has a dedicated, in-depth guide on their site with structured worksheets and implementation steps. This is a named, content-strategy-level framework that few other agencies on this list have published at comparable depth.

Pricing: Not publicly listed.

Notable Clients / Case Studies: The agency cites Experian Asia Pacific as a client. Published claims include 5x AI citations in 6 months and 40% organic traffic growth, though detailed case studies are not publicly available.

Team Transparency: Leadership is visible on LinkedIn and DesignRush profiles. The agency is managed by Shei Wah T. Day-to-day AEO specialists are not individually profiled on their site.

Strengths

• Clear, well-articulated unified AEO + GEO + SEO framework
• Bold published performance claims (5x AI citations, 40% traffic growth)
• Strong thought leadership content on AI search topics

Considerations

• Performance claims are not backed by publicly accessible case studies
• Smaller team may limit capacity for large-scale engagements

Verdict: NEO360 is worth considering if you want an agency that approaches AI search as a unified discipline. The performance claims are compelling, though you should ask for documented evidence during the sales process.

‍

7. MediaPlus Digital

Overview

MediaPlus Digital is a Singapore-based web design and digital marketing agency with 12+ years of experience and over 1,000 SMEs served. The agency is a PSG (Productivity Solutions Grant) pre-approved vendor and Google Partner, making it accessible for Singapore businesses looking to offset costs through government grants.

AEO/GEO Services

GEO strategy, AI SEO audits, content optimisation for AI platforms, technical SEO, and AI traffic tracking via Google Tag Manager. The agency also offers web design and development, making it a one-stop option for businesses that need both a site and AI search visibility.

Unique AEO Angle

No distinct AEO angle identified. MediaPlus Digital's GEO service page describes standard deliverables (schema markup, press distribution, blog articles, AI platform visibility reports) without a proprietary tool, named framework, or differentiated AEO methodology.

Pricing: No published AEO/GEO-specific pricing is available. PSG (Productivity Solutions Grant) eligibility may offset up to 50% of qualifying costs.

Notable Clients / Case Studies: Over 1,000 SMEs served. Specific named clients and AEO case studies are not prominently featured. Their blog content serves as evidence of technical competence.

Team Transparency: The agency team is partially visible. Leadership is listed, though individual AEO specialists are not profiled.

Strengths

• PSG pre-approved vendor, reducing cost barrier for Singapore SMEs
• Practical, published methodology for AI traffic tracking
• Strong blog content demonstrating technical competence

Considerations

• GEO/AEO is a newer service layer on top of a web design and SEO foundation
• Brand presence is spread across multiple country domains (Singapore, Malaysia, Australia), which may dilute focus

Verdict: MediaPlus Digital is a smart pick for Singapore SMEs that want to combine web design and AI search optimisation under one roof, especially with PSG grant support. It is a practical, cost-effective option. If you want a deep AEO specialist, the breadth of services may mean AEO is one of many priorities rather than the main one.

‍

8. Synscribe

Overview

Synscribe is a Singapore-based SEO and AI search optimisation agency focused specifically on B2B SaaS companies at Series A and beyond. The agency combines programmatic SEO with generative engine optimisation, using proprietary AI tools for content production, competitive indexing, and intent analysis.

AEO/GEO Services

AI crawler optimisation, LLM content scoring and rewriting, source citation monitoring, schema and LLMs.txt implementation, content clustering, AI search data tracking, AI share of voice monitoring, and AI query fan-out analysis. Also offers programmatic SEO and Next.js/Shopify pSEO.

Unique AEO Angle

Synscribe's differentiator is programmatic SEO applied to GEO. Their product suite includes an AI content writer ("Autoblogger"), AI landing page generator, and Reddit social listening tool, all designed to mass-produce targeted pages optimised for both traditional and AI search. The approach is automation-first and built for content volume at scale.

Pricing: Not publicly listed.

Notable Clients / Case Studies: The agency references growth-stage SaaS companies. Specific named clients are not prominently featured on their site. They do publish their own listicles and guides as evidence of content competence.

Team Transparency: Synscribe maintains a LinkedIn presence and is actively hiring for SEO/content roles in Singapore. Individual team members are partially visible, though the team is relatively lean.

Strengths

• Highly specialised in B2B SaaS, a rare niche focus
• Advanced methodologies (AI embeddings, competitive indexing, query fan-out analysis)
• Strong integration of programmatic SEO with GEO

Considerations

• Narrow focus means it may not suit B2C businesses, services companies, or local SMEs
• Relatively newer agency with less publicly documented track record than older competitors

Verdict: Synscribe is the clear choice if you are a B2B SaaS company looking for a technically sophisticated GEO partner. The programmatic approach is genuinely differentiated. If you are not in B2B SaaS, this is probably not the right fit.

‍

9. Brew Interactive

Overview

Brew Interactive is a digital marketing agency with offices in Singapore, Malaysia, and the US. The agency has been in business for over 10 years and is a HubSpot Platinum Partner. Their service portfolio spans digital strategy, performance marketing, social media, content, and more recently, AEO and AI automation.

AEO/GEO Services

AEO strategy, GEO content optimisation, AI search visibility planning, content marketing for AI citation, and integration with HubSpot's marketing automation. They also offer a separate AI automation service for business workflow optimisation.

Unique AEO Angle

No distinct AEO angle identified. Brew Interactive is a HubSpot Platinum Partner, but their AEO service page does not describe any HubSpot-specific AEO integration. The page covers standard AEO/GEO deliverables (schema markup, content hubs, FAQ optimisation, voice search) without a proprietary tool, named framework, or differentiated approach.

Pricing: Not publicly listed. Their contact form indicates general project budgets but does not break out AEO-specific pricing.

Notable Clients / Case Studies: Brew Interactive serves MNCs, educational institutions, and government organisations. Clients span financial services, technology, healthcare, and education sectors. AEO-specific case studies are not publicly featured.

Team Transparency: Leadership team is visible. The agency describes itself as comprising "only experienced digital strategists." Individual AEO specialists are not profiled separately.

Strengths

• HubSpot Platinum Partner, enabling seamless integration of AEO with inbound marketing
• Mature agency with 10+ years of operation and multi-market presence
• Broad client base spanning MNCs and government

Considerations

• AEO is a recent addition to a very broad service portfolio
• No publicly available AEO-specific results or case studies

Verdict: Brew Interactive makes sense if you are already deep in the HubSpot ecosystem and want AEO to plug into your existing marketing stack. If AEO is your primary need and you do not use HubSpot, there are more specialised options.

‍

10. ThatWare

Overview

ThatWare is an AI-driven SEO agency founded by Tuhin Banik, headquartered in Kolkata, India, with a claimed presence in Singapore and other markets. The agency positions itself at the intersection of data science, neuroscience, and SEO, offering AI-powered search optimisation services globally.

AEO/GEO Services

Entity optimisation, AI citation architecture, semantic content engineering, E-E-A-T reinforcement, LLM-powered search integration, predictive analytics, and an AI monitoring dashboard that tracks brand mentions across generative engines.

Unique AEO Angle

No distinct AEO angle identified. ThatWare's site describes standard AEO services (entity optimisation, schema markup, content engineering, E-E-A-T reinforcement) without substantiating any proprietary methodology. Claims of "neuroscience-driven" algorithms are not backed by publicly verifiable evidence on their site.

Pricing: Not publicly listed.

Notable Clients / Case Studies: ThatWare claims extensive work across Singapore and global markets. Specific named clients and independently verifiable AEO case studies are limited on their site.

Team Transparency: Founded by Tuhin Banik, who is the visible face of the brand. The broader team is India-based. For Singapore clients, this means the relationship is primarily remote.

Strengths

• Highly technical, AI-native approach to search optimisation
• Competitive pricing relative to Singapore-based agencies
• Ambitious proprietary methodology (neuroscience + AI + data science)

Considerations

• India-based team with no visible Singapore office. The "Singapore presence" claim is hard to verify.
• Consistently ranks itself #1 in its own published listicles, which undermines editorial credibility
• Technical claims (neuroscience-driven SEO) are difficult for clients to verify or evaluate independently

Verdict: ThatWare offers an interesting, technically ambitious approach at a competitive price point. However, the self-promotional publishing pattern and remote delivery model raise questions. If you are considering ThatWare, ask for verifiable case studies and a clear explanation of how the Singapore "presence" works in practice.

How Much Does AEO Cost in Singapore?

Of the 10 agencies we reviewed, only two publish AEO-specific pricing on their websites:

The remaining 8 agencies either bundle AEO into broader SEO packages or do not list AEO as a separately priced service.

How to Choose the Right AEO Agency for Your Business

5 Questions to Ask Before Signing

1. "Can you show me a measurable AEO result from a previous client?" If the agency cannot point to a specific client where AI visibility improved in a trackable way, they may be selling theory rather than execution.
2. "Who will actually work on my account?" In larger agencies, the person on the sales call is rarely the person doing the work. Find out who your strategist is and what their AEO experience looks like.
3. "How do you track AI search performance?" Look for agencies that use proprietary tools or established platforms for AI visibility tracking. "We check manually" is not a scalable answer.
4. "What does your AEO process look like in months 1, 2, and 3?" An agency with a real methodology should be able to describe a phased plan. Vague answers like "we optimise your content for AI" are a warning sign.
5. "How do you approach AEO differently from your SEO work?" This question reveals whether AEO is a genuine discipline within the agency or just a rebrand of existing SEO services.

What Results Can You Expect from AEO?

AEO is a compounding discipline. Results build over time as AI systems develop entity recognition and trust signals for your brand. The timeline varies, but we have seen brands start appearing in AI-generated answers within 30 to 60 days, depending on existing brand presence and the scope of optimisation applied.

New KPIs That Actually Matter

1. AI Visibility — How often your brand appears in AI-generated answers across tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
2. Share of Voice — Your brand's proportion of appearances relative to competitors across a set of prompts.
3. Average Position — Where your brand typically ranks within an AI-generated answer (e.g., 1st mentioned vs. 5th).
4. Prompts — The questions or queries used to test how AI tools respond when someone searches for your category.
5. Topics — The thematic clusters your prompts are grouped into (e.g., pricing, features, alternatives).
6. Citation — When an AI tool links to a specific URL as a source for its answer.
7. Citation Share — The percentage of citations pointing to your domain vs. competitor or third-party domains.
8. Citation Category — Whether a citation comes from owned content, aggregator listings, media, or review platforms.
9. Mentions — When your brand name appears in an AI answer without a direct citation or link.
10. Query Fanout — How a single user prompt triggers multiple sub-queries across different sources before the AI assembles an answer.
11. Sentiment — The tone AI tools assign to your brand based on aggregated reviews, mentions, and third-party content.

Be deliberate about which metrics and prompts you track. Prompt tracking can be gamed. Prompts that include your brand name will produce misleading visibility spikes compared to generic, category-level prompts that reflect real user behaviour. How a prompt is constructed matters more than where you rank on it.

What's the ROI of Investing in AEO/GEO?

This is the most common question, and the honest answer is that AEO does not map neatly to a single revenue metric yet. What we recommend is a three-layer approach:

1. Track the first touchpoint. Ask new leads and customers how they found you. If AI tools are part of the discovery path, that is your signal.
2. Monitor your AEO metrics. Use the KPIs above (visibility, share of voice, citation share) to measure whether your brand presence in AI answers is growing over time.
3. Connect to business outcomes. Look at page views, conversion rate, and deal size for B2B customers. If AI-referred visitors convert at higher rates or close larger deals, the investment case becomes clear.

Final Thoughts

The AI search landscape in Singapore is moving fast, and most agencies are still catching up. The single most important factor in choosing an AEO partner is whether AI search is their core discipline or a line item on a crowded services page.

Start by running your own AI Citation Test. Ask questions that your customers may use with the AI tools, and see if your brand shows up. Then ask the agencies on this list to explain what they would do differently or simply ask for a complimentary audit.
