Best AI SEO & AEO Agencies for B2B Companies in Singapore (2026)
Ten agencies compared on the same five criteria, with every fact linked to the agency's own page.
Key Takeaways
- Ten agencies serving B2B companies in Singapore were compared on 5 criteria: B2B proof, AI search capability, Singapore presence, openness about method and pricing, and evidence quality.
- Novastacks is our pick for B2B, with two named B2B SaaS case studies that report AI search results. Hashmeta and BThrust follow, with named B2B case studies that report search results; the Hashmeta study also counts AI citations.
- 5 of 10 publish prices for search work: Canlah AI, MediaPlus Digital, Stridec, Hashmeta and Brew Interactive. Impossible Marketing gives general Singapore cost ranges only. Novastacks, Construct Digital, OOm and BThrust quote after a call.
- All ten, Novastacks included, have a GEO, AEO or AI SEO service page.
A B2B purchase is decided by a buying committee that researches quietly, and much of that research now happens inside ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews before anyone fills in a form. AEO (answer engine optimisation) and GEO (generative engine optimisation) are the work of getting a firm named and cited in those AI answers. If those engines leave your firm off the shortlist, the deal is lost before sales hears about it. Most agency lists for B2B in Singapore were written for classic SEO and say little about how an agency gets a B2B firm named in AI answers.
Quick answer: for B2B companies in Singapore, our pick for AI SEO and AEO is Novastacks, followed by Hashmeta and BThrust, which both publish named B2B case studies with search results. The full order is Novastacks, Hashmeta, BThrust, OOm, Construct Digital, Brew Interactive, MediaPlus Digital, Canlah AI, Stridec and Impossible Marketing.
1. What is AI SEO and AEO for B2B companies?
AI SEO is the work of getting your firm named, and your pages cited, when B2B buyers ask AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Copilot a question. It builds on SEO. Google rankings still matter, because AI assistants pull many of their sources from pages that already rank well.
You will also see it called AEO (answer engine optimisation) or GEO (generative engine optimisation). Agencies use different names for the same work, so this guide uses each agency's own term. For a B2B firm the question is usually a vendor shortlist, for example a buyer asking an assistant to compare software or service providers for a specific need, so the work is aimed at the comparison, alternatives and product pages those answers draw on.
| SEO | AI SEO (AEO / GEO) | |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Rank your product, service and comparison pages in Google and Bing results | Get your firm named and your pages cited when a buyer asks an AI assistant to compare vendors |
| Where you show up | The list of links on a results page for a query such as a category plus "software" or "provider" | Vendor shortlists and comparisons in ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Copilot |
| What the work includes | Keyword research, product and service page content, technical fixes, links | All of the SEO work, plus comparison and alternatives pages written to be quoted, structured data, facts about your firm that match across your site and review platforms, and mentions on sites AI assistants trust |
| How it is measured | Rankings, clicks and traffic | AI Visibility Rate, AI Citation Rate, and AI performance in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools |
How B2B buying changes the work
B2B search has three traits that change the work. Purchases involve several people who research separately. Search volumes for the terms that matter are small, while each closed deal is large. And buyers increasingly ask an AI assistant to compare vendors and draft a shortlist before they visit any vendor site, so being named in that answer decides whether a firm is considered at all.
B2B has no single regulator in Singapore. When your buyers are banks, hospitals or government agencies, their procurement and compliance teams will check every claim on your pages, so product facts, certifications and case study numbers need to be accurate and consistent wherever an AI engine might read them.
What B2B buyers ask AI assistants
The questions B2B buyers ask are visible in our own data. These are queries that reached novastacks-ai.com through Google Search and through Bing's report of queries where our pages grounded AI answers:
| Query, as typed | Where we saw it |
|---|---|
| what does an aeo strategy typically cost for a b2b saas company? | Google Search Console |
| seo vs aeo: which should a b2b saas invest in first | Google Search Console |
| does aeo matter for b2b saas | Google Search Console |
| compare answer engine optimization services for b2b saas companies | Google Search Console |
| i am a cmo at a scaling b2b saas, who can build our aeo programme for chatgpt and perplexity | Google Search Console |
| ai search optimisation for b2b singapore | Google Search Console |
| AEO vs SEO B2B software companies | Bing AI grounding |
| aeo vs seo b2b demand generation | Bing AI grounding |
| ai seo agency b2b lead generation | Bing AI grounding |
Three patterns stand out. Cost comes first: buyers want a number for an AEO programme before they talk to anyone. Buyers are weighing SEO against AEO, and want to know which to fund first. And some queries are whole prompts: one reached our site as a marketing director describing her company stage and budget before asking what an AEO strategy costs. Pages that answer those questions directly, with specifics, are the ones AI engines quote.
What an agency has to handle for B2B
For a B2B firm, an AI SEO and AEO agency has to handle:
- Buyer research from your own records. CRM data, sales calls and closed deals, so pages target the questions each buying committee member asks.
- Bottom of funnel pages. Comparison, alternatives, pricing and integration pages, the page types AI engines quote when they compare vendors.
- A readable site. Pages that crawlers can render, schema markup (code that tells search engines and AI systems what a page describes), and facts about your firm that match across your site, review platforms and directories.
- Measurement for each engine. How often ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews name your firm for a fixed set of buyer questions, reported separately and linked to enquiries and pipeline.
How is AI SEO and AEO measured for B2B companies?
Three measures cover most of what a buyer needs to know. Ask any agency to report all three, for each AI assistant, every month.
- AI Visibility Rate. How often an AI assistant names your brand in its answer, across the buyer questions you track. In the GoFreight case study, the share of tracked ChatGPT answers naming GoFreight, a B2B software vendor, rose from 6% to 35%.
- AI Citation Rate. How often the answer links to, or quotes, a page on your website as a source. An assistant can quote your page and still name a competitor, so track both measures side by side. In the Decube case study, the number of Decube pages cited by Microsoft Copilot each day went from 14 to 42.
- AI performance in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Google Search Console has a Generative AI performance report with impressions from AI Overviews and AI Mode. Bing Webmaster Tools shows the queries where Copilot and Bing AI answers used your pages. Both are free and come from the search engines themselves. The Bing grounding queries in the table above, such as "aeo vs seo b2b demand generation", come from this report.
AI answers change from one run to the next, so each question should be checked several times and reported as a range.
2. The best AI SEO & AEO agencies for B2B in Singapore: at a glance
One row per agency, in the order explained under how these agencies were chosen and ordered. The B2B evidence column states the strongest proof found on the agency's own site.
| # | Agency | Best for | B2B evidence | AI search services | Published pricing | Evidence type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Novastacks | B2B SaaS teams that want AI search work driven by CRM and sales call data | Two named B2B SaaS case studies with AI search results (GoFreight, Decube) | AEO, GEO and SEO on Novastacks AI Search OS | Not published | Case studies with AI search results |
| 2 | Hashmeta | Brands that want SEO, GEO and AEO from a Singapore group with a technology vertical | Named B2B case studies: AI citations for Reeman Robotics (China based); first AI Overview source for iGrowFit (Singapore) | GEO and AEO listed under Services on hashmeta.ai | Retainers from US$1,500 a month | Case study with AI search results |
| 3 | BThrust | Firms that want GEO and AI SEO from a Singapore agency with industry pages | Case studies labelled B2B (PAL Line, TN Corporate Management) with SEO results | Dedicated GEO page | Not found on the pages checked | Named B2B clients (SEO results) |
| 4 | OOm | Companies that want a long established Singapore agency offering GEO and AEO | B2B agency page; named B2B clients with results (Astrol Security, Million Parcel) | Dedicated GEO and AEO page | Not found on the pages checked | Named B2B clients (SEO results) |
| 5 | Construct Digital | Enterprise B2B marketing teams that want GEO inside a wider B2B programme | B2B only positioning; named SAP case study (lead generation) | Dedicated GEO programme for B2B enterprises | No GEO price; IMPACT B2B campaign programme from SGD 20,000 | Case study with results (lead generation) |
| 6 | Brew Interactive | B2B firms with long sales cycles that want SEO and AEO plus account based marketing | B2B agency page; named B2B case studies (Montgomery, QBE Insurance, Tesa Tape) | Dedicated AEO agency page | SEO package of $10,000 for four months | Case studies with results (lead generation) |
| 7 | MediaPlus Digital | B2B and industrial firms that want a new website plus SEO and AI SEO from one team | Named B2B client websites (Mainfreight Singapore, Konica Minolta) | Dedicated AI SEO page | GEO for an existing SEO programme from about S$1,000 a month; core programme from S$2,500 a month | Named B2B clients (website builds) |
| 8 | Canlah AI | B2B SaaS and tech vendors that want to be named in AI vendor shortlists | Dedicated B2B SaaS GEO page; no named B2B client found | GEO measured on a locked pool of buyer questions | From $1,500 a month | B2B page |
| 9 | Stridec | B2B SaaS and ecommerce brands that want a published GEO price | Service page names SaaS brands; ran its method on its own SaaS product | GEO and AI Overview SEO | S$2,500 to S$8,000 a month | B2B mention, own product result |
| 10 | Impossible Marketing | Enterprise B2B sites that want enterprise SEO, GEO and AEO with LinkedIn ads | Enterprise SEO page; B2B LinkedIn ads advice on homepage | AI SEO page covering GEO and AEO | Not published; its pages give general Singapore cost ranges only | Industry page |
How these agencies were chosen and ordered
The candidate pool came from the B2B agency lists that already rank in Singapore (by Stridec, Synscribe and MediaPlus Digital) plus Singapore agencies known to sell GEO or AEO. Each candidate's own homepage, AI search service page, B2B page or case studies, pricing page and contact page were fetched in October 2026. One candidate, Digital Squad, did not respond to requests in October 2026 and was left out. Each agency was then checked on five criteria:
- B2B proof. Named B2B client work, a B2B page or B2B positioning on the agency's own site.
- AI search capability. A dedicated GEO, AEO or AI SEO service page, or GEO and AEO listed as services.
- Singapore presence. A published Singapore address, or a statement that the agency is based in Singapore.
- Openness about method and pricing. Prices published, and how the work is done described.
- Evidence quality. Named clients with results and sources, named clients without numbers, results on the agency's own product, or general signals such as review counts and awards.
The order follows a plain rule. Novastacks is first because this is our list and our pick, and we say so. The other nine are ordered by the strength of their published B2B evidence, then their AI search capability, then the quality of their evidence. B2B evidence has five levels: a named B2B case study that reports results; named B2B clients without published results; a dedicated B2B page; B2B mentioned on a service page or an enterprise page; and general signals only. All ten have a GEO, AEO or AI SEO service page, so AI search capability does not separate them. Within a level, evidence quality decides: a result measured in AI search comes before a Google search result, which comes before a lead generation result, because only search results show the work this list is about; a result on the agency's own product comes before no result. If two agencies are still level, an agency that serves only B2B clients comes before one where B2B is one practice among several. When two agencies are equal on all these steps, alphabetical order decides. That places Hashmeta (AI citations for Reeman Robotics) ahead of BThrust (organic traffic for TN Corporate Management) and OOm (organic traffic for Astrol Security), BThrust ahead of OOm on alphabetical order, and Construct Digital ahead of Brew Interactive. The evidence type column in the at a glance table shows where each agency stands on B2B proof, so you can apply your own priorities.
All 10 agencies
Each entry covers what the agency does, its evidence, who it suits, pricing and a limitation or watch out. Quotes come from the linked pages, checked in October 2026.
1Novastacks Operator-led. Agent-powered.

Best for: B2B SaaS teams that want AI search work built from their own CRM and sales call data and reported against pipeline. The scope for this industry is on B2B AEO, GEO & SEO Services in Singapore.
What's distinctive: SEO and AEO run as one programme on a published method. Senior marketing operators direct Novastacks AI Search OS, the proprietary agentic system Novastacks built for AI search, so one team brings senior judgment and execution at scale. Founder Tina Chu spent 18+ years leading growth at Tencent, Expedia, Klook, Traveloka and Cabital; Head of AEO Eki Riandra is a Google Product Expert.
Engagement model: a senior engagement lead sets priorities, checks the work and is accountable for it. Each programme is configured per market and per language, in English and Chinese, with its own set of buyer questions.
B2B evidence: Two named B2B SaaS case studies, both with AI search results and their sources stated on the page:
- GoFreight, freight forwarding software: GoFreight moved from 5th to 1st of 8 tracked vendors in AI buying answers. The share of tracked ChatGPT answers naming GoFreight rose from 6% to 35%, Google clicks rose 241% from the low point when the engagement began, monthly visits referred by AI assistants rose 632%, and average Google position moved from 19 to 8, across three site migrations.
- Decube, data governance software: visibility across tracked AI buying prompts grew 7x within a month of the work going live. Blog clicks rose 116% in matched periods, Decube pages cited by Microsoft Copilot each day went from 14 to 42, and daily appearances in Google AI Overviews and AI Mode rose 129%.
Watch outs: we do not publish prices; you get a quote after the free audit. Both published case studies are B2B SaaS, so there is no published case study yet for industrial or professional services B2B.

3. How much does AI SEO & AEO cost for B2B companies in Singapore?

- Brew Interactive: an EDGE grant SEO package of 4 months at "Price $10,000", with a $5,000 subsidy for eligible SMEs (source linked in the Brew Interactive entry).

Novastacks, Construct Digital, OOm and BThrust quote search work on request; no search price was found on the pages checked. Construct Digital does price its IMPACT B2B campaign programme, from SGD 20,000. For a wider view of the market, our guide on how much SEO, AEO and GEO cost in Singapore sets out what drives the price of an engagement.
What moves the price of an engagement is its scope: the markets and languages covered, the number of AI assistants tracked, the size of the site and how many buyer questions are checked. Ask every agency what its price includes and what costs extra.
4. How to choose an AI SEO & AEO agency for B2B companies
Use this checklist on any shortlist, this one included:
- A named B2B client with a sourced result. Ask which data source each number comes from and over what period.
- AI search results for a B2B client. Lead generation or website results are useful, but they do not show an agency can get a firm named in AI answers.
- A defined set of buyer questions. The agency should agree a fixed set of buyer prompts with you and track them the same way every month.
- Use of your sales knowledge. Ask how CRM records and sales call notes feed the content plan.
- Reporting your board will accept. Visibility in each engine, AI referred sessions, enquiries and pipeline, in one report.
- A written scope and price. If prices are not published, get a written scope with deliverables for each month.
Questions to ask in the first call:
- Which B2B clients have you got named in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews, and can I see the tracking?
- Which buyer questions would you track for us, and how many times is each one checked?
- Which comparison and alternatives pages would you build first, and why those?
- How will you connect AI visibility to enquiries in our CRM?
- Who on your side reviews the work before it ships?
Factors to consider
| Factor | What to look for | Question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| A published method | A written process from first audit to monthly reporting, on the agency's own website | "Where on your website is your method explained?" |
| Proof | Named B2B case studies with sources, with the AI assistants and the period stated | "Which AI assistants did this result come from, and over what period?" |
| Use of your sales knowledge | CRM records and sales call notes feeding the content plan | "How will our CRM records and sales calls shape the buyer questions you track?" |
| Reporting | AI Visibility Rate, AI Citation Rate, and Search Console and Bing AI data, every month | "Can I see a sample monthly report?" |
| Who does the work | Senior people who stay on the account after the contract is signed | "Who leads my account, and how often will we speak?" |
| Markets and languages | Separate tracking for each market and language you sell in | "Do you track Singapore and my other markets separately?" |
| Price against scope | A quote linked to markets, AI assistants tracked and site size | "What does this price include, and what costs extra?" |
Red flags to watch for
- Traffic as the only proof. Results shown as visits or keyword counts say little about whether AI engines name the firm.
- Lead generation presented as AI search. A lead generation result is useful, but it is a different outcome from being named in AI answers.
- No named B2B client. Claims of B2B experience with no client, period or source behind them.
- No fixed set of buyer questions. Without one, change cannot be measured from month to month.
- One blended visibility number. A single figure across all engines hides which engine moved and which did not.
- A price with no written scope. If prices are not published, what is delivered each month should be.
5. Free tools to check any agency's work
Do not take any agency's word for its AEO results, ours included. Run an agency's existing clients, or your own brand, through these free Novastacks tools first. Each one produces a single report from a single run, so treat the result as a snapshot of that day.
- The free AEO checker gives your homepage an AEO score out of 100 in under 60 seconds with no email needed. It scores crawler access, llms.txt, structured data, page structure and citation quality, and lists the fixes that raise the score. It measures what your homepage says.
- The free AI visibility tracker tests 30 to 50 buyer questions for your market across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overview, and shows who gets named and who gets cited. The report arrives in 48 hours.
- The free AEO audit checks whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews recommend your brand. The report covers a competitive snapshot, an AEO readiness score, a SERP position check, the three highest impact moves and a schema gap analysis, and arrives in 48 hours.
6. FAQ
What does an AEO strategy typically cost for a B2B company in Singapore?
Five agencies on this list publish prices for search work. Canlah AI starts at $1,500 a month, MediaPlus Digital lists GEO for an existing SEO programme from about S$1,000 a month, and Stridec publishes S$2,500 to S$8,000 a month. Hashmeta lists retainers from US$1,500 a month, and Brew Interactive lists a four month SEO package at $10,000. Impossible Marketing gives general Singapore cost ranges only. The others, Novastacks included, quote after a scoping call.
Which should a B2B company invest in first, SEO or AEO?
Start with the technical and content work both depend on: pages that crawlers can render, clear product and comparison pages, and consistent facts about your firm across the web. That work serves Google rankings and AI answers at the same time. After that, weight the budget toward the channel where your buyers already research, which your Search Console data and a baseline of AI answers will show.
Does AEO matter for B2B SaaS and service companies?
Yes, because B2B buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews to compare vendors before they contact anyone. In the GoFreight case study, the share of tracked ChatGPT answers naming GoFreight rose from 6% to 35%, and an enterprise buyer said AI narrowed the field to a top five with GoFreight in the top two. Service firms face the same shortlist step.
How do I check whether an AI SEO agency really understands B2B?
Ask for a named B2B client and a result you can trace to a source, such as Search Console data or tracked AI answers. Ask how they will use your CRM records and sales calls, and which comparison, alternatives and pricing pages they would build first. An agency that answers only with traffic growth or keyword counts has not shown it understands how a buying committee shortlists vendors.
How long before a B2B company sees results from AI SEO?
Visibility can move within weeks, while pipeline takes longer because B2B sales cycles are long. In the Decube case study, visibility across tracked AI buying prompts rose sevenfold within a month of the updates going live. GoFreight's gains built across a longer engagement that included three site migrations. Ask any agency which measure it expects to move first and when.
What should a B2B AI SEO agency report on besides rankings?
It should report how often each AI engine names your brand for a fixed set of buyer questions, which of your pages each engine cites, AI referred sessions from analytics, and the enquiries and opportunities those visits produce. Rankings still matter, but a B2B board will ask what the work did for pipeline. Each engine should be reported separately, because each one picks its sources differently.
Which agency on this list fits which kind of B2B company?
B2B SaaS teams that want AI search work linked to CRM and sales call data fit Novastacks. Firms that also want account based marketing fit Brew Interactive. Teams that want a published price fit Stridec or Canlah AI. Enterprise marketing teams wanting GEO inside a wider B2B programme fit Construct Digital. Firms needing a new website alongside AI SEO fit MediaPlus Digital.
How were the agencies on this list chosen and ordered?
Each agency was checked on five criteria: B2B proof, AI search capability, Singapore presence, openness about method and pricing, and evidence quality, on its own pages. Novastacks is first because this is our list and our pick. The others are ordered by the strength of their published B2B evidence, then AI search capability, then evidence quality, where a result in AI search comes before a Google search result, then a lead generation result. The full rule is in section 2.
What's the difference between AI SEO, AEO, GEO and AIO?
They overlap almost completely. AI SEO is the broad term most buyers search for. AEO (answer engine optimisation) means being the answer an AI assistant gives, GEO (generative engine optimisation) is the same idea named after generative AI, and AIO usually means optimising for Google's AI Overviews only. The label matters less than whether the agency reports results for each AI assistant.
What makes Novastacks different from other AI SEO agencies for B2B companies?
Three differences. We publish how our method works: senior operators direct Novastacks AI Search OS across four layers, from what goes in to what you get. For B2B, what goes in starts with your CRM records and sales calls. The work is operator led by founder Tina Chu and Head of AEO Eki Riandra, and each programme is configured per market and language. Our case studies show the results.
