Researched and written by us from public record, before Stridec was asked. We have not heard back from Stridec yet. Nothing here is invented, but the details are stated rather than independently verified, and the firm has not reviewed them. If this is your firm, correct it — that is free, and always will be.

Editorial take

Stridec is one of the oldest agencies in this set by a wide margin — founded in 2001, more than two decades before AI Overviews existed, giving it enterprise clients (Changi Airport Group, Decathlon Singapore, SECOM Singapore) newer AI-native shops haven't had time to build. Its "Managed AI Overview Mastery" methodology is genuinely named, built around concepts like Entity Differentiation rather than generic GEO language. The standout proof: founder Alva Chew tested it on his own AI product, AeroChat, which reportedly got cited by AI Overviews, Perplexity, and ChatGPT Search within six weeks. The gap: most AI-specific evidence is self-published, and there's no G2 profile.

Written by us from public record. It is not the agency's own copy, and the agency can’t edit it — claiming a profile adds a labelled right of reply, it does not replace this.

What they work with

Their tooling, and how we established each one. A tool a firm merely names is labelled as their statement; calling one a specialism is a capability claim and needs corroboration.

We haven’t established what Stridec works with yet. That’s our backlog, not a finding about them — an empty stack here means we haven’t asked.

Sources behind these statements

What the evidence actually is. “Publicly verified” reads very differently resting on a case study than on a pricing page, so we name the artefact.

What is still outstanding

  • 13 of 20 ladder checks have not been run yet. That is our backlog, not a finding about this firm.
  • Business legitimacy: 4 checks are still outstanding on our side.
  • Track record: 3 checks are still outstanding on our side.
  • AI SEO specialism: Discoverable contract length and exit terms did not pass (Not disclosed). 6 checks are still outstanding on our side.

Verification record

Strongest on track record, weakest on business legitimacy

  • Business legitimacy0 of 4

    Is this a real, trading, identifiable firm?

  • Track record2 of 5

    Has anyone outside the firm confirmed the work?

  • AI SEO specialism4 of 11

    Is AI SEO genuinely what they do?

How the TF Score is built

  • Business legitimacy0 / 12

    Is this a real, trading, identifiable company — registered, contactable and continuously operating?

  • Evidence quality and delivery record0 / 16

    Can the work be corroborated by someone other than the firm — named clients, reachable references, published results?

  • Independent validation5 / 10

    Does anything outside the firm's own website confirm what it says about itself?

  • Transparency3 / 10

    Does the firm publish what it charges, how long you are committed, and what it is actually doing for the money?

  • Evidence freshness3 / 6

    How recently was any of this last checked? In AI search a two-year-old finding is about a different product.

  • Review integrity6 / 6

    Are the reviews that exist relevant to this work and plausibly independent, rather than a wall of five-star ratings about something else?

  • Measurable AI-search outcomes3 / 10

    Can the firm say how it knows whether AI visibility moved — a named measurement stack, a defined KPI, and a result reported against it?

  • Technical AI SEO depthNot yet scored

    Needs a ladder check. Excluded from the denominator until it has one.

  • Defined AI SEO practice5 / 8

    Is AI search a named service with a named person behind it and a history, or a page added last quarter?

  • Editorial and content governanceNot yet scored

    Needs a ladder check. Excluded from the denominator until it has one.

  • Ongoing delivery and maintenance0 / 6

    Is there capacity to keep doing the work, and terms that describe an ongoing engagement rather than a one-off?

Total 31 / 100. This measures how complete our evidence is — not how good the agency is. A low number means we have less to show you, which is not the same as a firm being worse.

What that means: A fixed price for a defined piece of work. Easiest to compare between firms, and the one where scope creep costs you most, so the scope document matters more than the number.

Reviews

What the reviews actually say

No G2 company profile or rating found — searched directly, came up empty.

We publish no rating of our own, and reviews never affect this firm's position on any page or any badge it carries. We also do not reprint ratings from platforms that collected them for themselves — Clutch, G2 and the rest own that work, so we tell you a profile exists and send you there to read it.

Relevance matters more than the average here: independent reviews found.

How they say they work

  • Named "Managed AI Overview Mastery" — Entity Differentiation, Two-Layer Content Architecture
  • Keyword validation, AI citation engineering, entity-first optimization
  • Consistently explained across service pages and educational content

source: agency's own site and published methodology pages.

What we could see them ship

  • Named enterprise clients: Changi Airport Group, Decathlon Singapore, SECOM Singapore, and others
  • AeroChat self-tested case: cited by AI Overviews, Perplexity, and ChatGPT Search within six weeks
  • 8 verified Clutch reviews at 4.9/5, with a named reviewer quote

source: Clutch, agency's own published case studies and client list.

Recorded from the firm’s own published material and named third-party sources. Stated, not verified — the difference is on every line of the evidence section.

Where they came from

Founded by Alva Chew, an SEO practitioner with more than 24 years of experience. This is one of the oldest agencies in this research, with a longer traditional-SEO history than almost any other profile here. The AI Overview repositioning followed the maturation of AI-powered search, layered onto a two-decade-plus consultancy rather than replacing it.

Published research

No standalone annual report or benchmark dataset. Instead, publishes AI Overview experiments, GEO implementation guides, entity SEO analysis, and AI citation observations — most notably the AeroChat case, which documents applying its own methodology to its own AI product before offering it to clients. source: agency's own published research and case studies.
