Origin story

Founded 2001
— ~24 years as traditional SEO —→
GEO practice since Recent

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.

Our take

Best for: Ecommerce and SaaS businesses wanting an experienced SEO agency with a structured approach to Google AI Overviews.

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 as a category, giving it enterprise clients (Changi Airport Group, Decathlon Singapore, SECOM Singapore) that newer AI-native shops simply haven't had time to build. Its methodology is also one of the more clearly named in this research: "Managed AI Overview Mastery," built around specific concepts like Entity Differentiation and Two-Layer Content Architecture rather than generic GEO language. The most distinctive proof point is that founder Alva Chew tested the methodology on his own AI product, AeroChat, which reportedly appeared in Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and ChatGPT Search within six weeks — before Stridec sold the same approach to clients. The gap: most of that AI-specific evidence is self-published, there's no G2 profile, and the 4.9/5 Clutch score rests on only 8 reviews for a company with a 25-year history.

Good fit if

  • You're an ecommerce or SaaS company wanting a long SEO history adapting to AI search
  • You value a structured, named methodology over generic GEO language
  • Google AI Overviews specifically are a strategic priority

Less so if

  • You need publicly available pricing
  • You prefer a larger delivery team (2–10 people total)
  • You want extensive third-party validation of the AI-specific claims specifically
