AEO Pricing in Singapore in 2026: Agency Retainers and Service Price Ranges

Updated November 2, 2026 · Rates reviewed September 23, 2026 · Grants rechecked November 2, 2026

Quick answer

AEO pricing in Singapore typically runs S$500 to S$8,000 per month in 2026, with enterprise programmes published at S$8,000 to S$25,000 or more, depending on engine coverage, monthly content volume and off-site authority work. One-off AEO projects cost S$600 to S$2,500 for an audit and S$3,000 to S$10,000 for a schema, llms.txt and answer-block build.

Canlah AI prices its GEO service per AI platform: Starter from $1,500 a month covers ChatGPT, Growth from $3,000 a month adds Google AI Overviews and includes systematic SEO, and Full, which adds Google AI Mode and Gemini, is customised. It also offers a free AI visibility report, delivered within 48 hours, before any paid work.

Two published figures fall outside the grid. Stridec’s guide estimates Singapore AEO retainers at SGD 4,000 to SGD 20,000 per month and project builds of eight to 16 weeks at SGD 15,000 to SGD 60,000, the highest band reviewed. Kaizenaire’s cost guide lists single editorial placements at SGD 145 to SGD 1,175 each, the smallest unit of AEO spend found on any Singapore page reviewed.

How AEO agencies in Singapore price and structure their engagements

Six Singapore AEO providers carry public price figures, from SingRank’s S$750 monthly plan to LOOP’s S$9,000 90-day foundation, and each one prices a different unit of work. Four publish their own packages, AI Studio publishes market bands while quoting its own work per brand and Sotavento Medios appears through AI Studio’s roundup.

Six Singapore AEO providers with public price figures, reviewed September 23, 2026.

Provider	Published price	Structure	What the page says it includes	Point to confirm in writing
SingRank	S$750 per month, one plan (reviewed October 25, 2026)	Monthly retainer, three-month minimum, then month to month	SEO, GEO and AEO bundled, 20 articles per month, technical SEO including schema fixes, free visibility check	GST treatment: Not found on reviewed page. The minimum makes the entry commitment S$2,250
LOOP	S$9,000 project, then S$800 or S$2,500 per month	90-day foundation paid as three instalments of S$3,000, then month-to-month maintenance	Technical, content and authority phases, then DIY or fully managed plans, free audit delivered within 24 hours	GST treatment: Not found on reviewed page. Maintenance is only available after the S$9,000 build
Hashmeta	S$2,500 per month Starter, S$5,000 per month Growth, Enterprise custom	Monthly retainer	AEO audit, 20 or 40 question-and-answer pages, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI, with Gemini added at Growth	GST treatment: Not found on reviewed page. Its Singapore page cites a different S$6,000 to S$30,000 or more package range
Best SEO	S$2,500 audit, S$3,800 per month Growth, Enterprise custom	One-off audit, then retainer	50 or more buyer prompts tested across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, entity work, citation tracking	GST treatment and contract term: Not found on reviewed page
AI Studio	S$550 to S$800, S$1,500 to S$2,500, S$5,000 or more per month	Three market bands, custom quote for its own work	Audit, schema and llms.txt at the budget band, a monthly content programme and reporting at mid-market	Market bands, not AI Studio’s own fee
Sotavento Medios	S$1,200 to S$2,500 setup, S$550 to S$3,500 per month	Setup fee plus three tiers	Tiered packages with published deliverables, per AI Studio’s roundup	Third-party figures, so confirm them and the currency directly

“Not found on reviewed page” means the provider’s public materials did not name that item when reviewed on September 23, 2026. It is not proof that the item is absent from the provider’s contracts.

The structural split matters more than the headline figure. SingRank and Sotavento Medios price content volume, Hashmeta prices question-and-answer pages, LOOP prices a fixed 90-day build before any retainer and Best SEO prices the audit separately from the programme. Two quotes at the same monthly fee can therefore buy very different amounts of work.

What affects the price of AEO in Singapore

Five factors set AEO pricing in Singapore, and the widest single swing comes from off-site placements, which can add up to SGD 3,525 a month at Kaizenaire’s listed rates. The other four are engine coverage, content volume, probe frequency and contract terms.

1. Engine coverage

Engine coverage sets the step between some providers’ tiers: Hashmeta adds Gemini as its fee rises from S$2,500 to S$5,000, while Canlah AI prices per AI platform: Starter covers ChatGPT, Growth adds Google AI Overviews and Full adds Google AI Mode and Gemini, with 4, 8 and 16 buyer questions. Hashmeta’s S$2,500 Starter already names ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI, so engine counts alone do not explain a price gap between providers.

2. Content volume

SingRank sells one plan, in which S$750 a month buys 20 articles. Hashmeta scales content with price, from 20 question-and-answer pages at S$2,500 to 40 at S$5,000. Content is the line most agencies scale first because it is the easiest unit to count.

3. Off-site authority work

Off-site placements cost SGD 145 to SGD 1,175 each in Kaizenaire’s cost guide, so three placements a month can add up to SGD 3,525 before any content or measurement work. Canlah AI includes off-site advice on every tier, covering where to publish and what, while publishing itself is priced separately.

4. Probe frequency and measurement depth

Probe frequency changes the evidence behind a report by about 14 times: weekly sampling of 100 prompts on one engine produces about 430 answers a month, while daily sampling of 200 prompts produces about 6,000. A quote that does not state prompts, engines and runs per question cannot be compared with one that does, even at the same monthly fee.

5. Contract term and setup fees

Contract terms turn a S$750 monthly plan into a S$2,250 commitment at SingRank, which sets a three-month minimum. LOOP requires the S$9,000 foundation before month-to-month maintenance, so a build followed by 12 months at S$800 totals S$18,600 over 15 months. Sotavento Medios adds S$1,200 to S$2,500 of setup before its first monthly fee.

Grants, GST and the net price

New AEO purchases in Singapore can no longer be budgeted under the Productivity Solutions Grant: Enterprise Singapore states that PSG, the Market Readiness Assistance grant and the Enterprise Development Grant ceased on 29 September 2026, and that applications from 30 September go to the EDGE Grant. The closest EDGE activity is Digital Marketing, which covers up to 50% for SMEs but at most S$5,000, on a cost cap of S$10,000, and only for an IMDA pre-approved package.

Singapore grants checked against AEO work, rechecked November 2, 2026.

Scheme	Status on November 2, 2026	Support level and cap	What it means for AEO work
EDGE Grant, Digital Marketing activity	Open from 30 September 2026	Up to 50% for SMEs (at most S$5,000) and 30% for non-SMEs (at most S$3,000); cost capped at S$10,000; one application per solution	Only an IMDA pre-approved package; IMDA’s package category names SEO, SEM and social media marketing; check that the AEO work is itemised in the approved package
EDGE Grant overall	Open from 30 September 2026	S$100,000 per company per year, with digital solutions sharing a S$30,000 sub-cap; 70% applies only to internationalisation and sustainability activities	Confirm the activity before any work or deposit
Productivity Solutions Grant	Ceased 29 September 2026; ongoing projects still processed	Was up to 50% of eligible costs, S$30,000 per company, pre-approved solutions only	Cannot fund a new AEO purchase
Market Readiness Assistance	Ceased 29 September 2026	Was up to 70% for SMEs, S$100,000 per company per new market	Overseas promotion applications now go to EDGE
Enterprise Development Grant	Ceased 29 September 2026	—	When reviewed on September 23, 2026, its page listed marketing campaigns, including SEO and SEM, as not covered

Source: Enterprise Singapore EDGE Grant page, FAQ and Digital Marketing activity page, and IMDA’s pre-approval guide, rechecked November 2, 2026; earlier scheme terms as published when reviewed September 23, 2026. Eligibility is decided by Enterprise Singapore, not by the agency quoting the work.

Against a S$3,800 monthly retainer, the Digital Marketing activity is worth at most S$5,000, about 11 percent of S$45,600 for a year. EDGE is paid on a reimbursement basis, GST is not a supported cost, and an application is not supported if work has started or any payment or deposit has been made before it is submitted. A quote that already deducts a grant should name the EDGE activity and the IMDA package it assumes.

Goods and services tax is charged at 9 percent in Singapore, so a S$3,800 monthly retainer costs S$4,142 from a GST-registered agency. GST treatment was not found on any of the six provider pages in the table above, so ask whether each published figure is before or after GST.

What is included and what is not

Most Singapore AEO retainers include the same four items: a starting audit, schema and entity work, a monthly content quota and a citation report. The differences sit in what is excluded.

• Usually included: answer-first page rewrites, FAQ and Organization schema, llms.txt setup, a fixed monthly article count and a monthly report naming the engines checked.
• Often excluded: paid editorial placements, translation for a second market, landing-page design, developer time to ship schema on a locked template and any advertising spend.
• Rarely stated: the number of answers behind the report, the model version used per engine, the failed collection rate and whether branded questions are counted separately from non-branded ones.

The third group decides whether a report can be re-run. A retainer that reports a mention rate without naming its denominator cannot be compared against the next quote.

AEO price versus GEO price in Singapore

AEO and GEO are priced in the same bands in Singapore, S$500 to S$8,000 per month for ordinary retainers, because most providers sell one scope of work under both labels. SingRank bundles SEO, GEO and AEO into a single S$750-a-month retainer. Verz Design publishes SGD 1,200 to SGD 4,000 for monthly AEO retainers and SGD 8,000 to SGD 20,000 or more when AEO and GEO are combined at enterprise scale, which is a scope difference rather than a technique difference.

The practical distinction is the surface being measured. AEO work concentrates on the page, through answer blocks, question headings, FAQ markup and structured data. GEO work extends to who else is cited: third-party sources, review platforms, comparison pages and community mentions. Off-site work is the expensive half, which is why combined programmes cost more than page-level AEO.

What Canlah AI charges for AEO work

Canlah AI prices its GEO service per AI platform on its pricing page: Starter from $1,500 a month covers ChatGPT, Growth from $3,000 a month adds Google AI Overviews and includes systematic SEO, and Full, which adds Google AI Mode and Gemini, is customised. Canlah AI is a Singapore-based SEO + GEO agency that measures and improves brand visibility inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, reporting AI visibility as re-verifiable ranges with timestamped evidence.

The tier structure is published alongside the fee. Each platform carries four buyer questions, so Starter tracks 4, Growth 8 and Full 16, re-tested monthly. Every tier includes off-site advice on where to publish and what; publishing itself is priced separately. The acceptance line is written: a +30% relative lift in how often AI names the client versus its own starting baseline, re-tested monthly; no ranking or #1 guarantee. After three months of the GEO service, clients can run it themselves with Canlah All-Stars from $199 a month, a software plan, not the price of the GEO service.

The limitation is plain. Canlah AI’s public pages do not list an IMDA pre-approved package, so an SME budgeting around a grant should ask Canlah AI, as it would any other provider, which EDGE activity and package the quote assumes before shortlisting it.

Do not choose an AEO provider from the published figures alone. Ask every shortlisted agency, Canlah AI included, to state prompts, engines, runs per question, articles, placements, contract term and GST treatment in writing, and compare the quotes on those lines rather than on the monthly fee.

Frequently asked questions

What is the typical AEO pricing in Singapore per month?

AEO pricing in Singapore runs from S$750 per month for SingRank’s single plan to S$5,000 per month at Hashmeta’s Growth tier among providers’ own published rate cards. Market guides place enterprise programmes at S$8,000 to S$25,000 or more per month. The monthly figure is only comparable once prompts, engines, articles and placements are stated.

Is AEO pricing different from GEO pricing in Singapore?

No. AEO pricing and GEO pricing sit in the same S$500 to S$8,000 monthly bands because most Singapore providers sell the same measurement, page and content work under both labels. Combined AEO and GEO programmes cost more mainly because off-site authority work is added.

What does AEO as a service cost as a one-off project?

One-off AEO projects in Singapore run S$600 to S$2,500 for an audit and S$3,000 to S$10,000 for a foundation build covering schema, llms.txt and answer blocks. LOOP publishes a fixed S$9,000 90-day foundation paid as three instalments of S$3,000. Stridec estimates larger eight to 16 week builds at SGD 15,000 to SGD 60,000.

Can the PSG grant cover AEO fees?

Not for a new purchase. Enterprise Singapore states that PSG ceased on 29 September 2026 and that new applications go to the EDGE Grant, while ongoing PSG projects continue to be processed. The EDGE Digital Marketing activity covers up to 50 percent for SMEs, at most S$5,000 on a S$10,000 cost cap, and only for an IMDA pre-approved package; IMDA’s package category names SEO, SEM and social media marketing, so check that the AEO work is itemised in the approved package. Confirm the package before paying any deposit, because retrospective applications are not supported.

Do Singapore AEO prices include GST?

GST treatment was not found on the six Singapore provider pages reviewed for this guide on September 23, 2026. Goods and services tax is charged at 9 percent, so a S$5,000 retainer from a GST-registered agency is S$5,450 payable. Ask for the GST treatment and the contract term in the same email.

What does Canlah AI charge for AEO work?

Canlah AI’s GEO service starts at $1,500 a month per AI platform: Starter from $1,500 covers ChatGPT, Growth from $3,000 adds Google AI Overviews and systematic SEO, and Full is customised. DeepAudit, Canlah AI’s paid diagnostic, is $99 for One read or $189 for Month read, and a free AI visibility report is delivered within 48 hours.

What is the cheapest defensible way to start AEO in Singapore?

The cheapest defensible start is a free or low-cost baseline followed by one fixed change. A free snapshot or a S$600 to S$2,500 audit records which engines name the brand before any work begins. FAQ and Organization schema plus answer blocks on three pages is a small enough change to attribute in a retest.
