Answer engine optimisation structures useful, direct answers around the decisions customers make before contacting a business. Tendou connects those answers to accurate service pages and evidence.
The useful questions are not random FAQs. They cover provider selection, service fit, cost factors, process, location, comparison and the evidence a buyer needs before making contact.
Tendou identifies the right page for each decision, removes conflicting ownership, adds concise answers, strengthens supporting details and connects the page to relevant proof. Technical SEO keeps those answers crawlable and indexable.
AEO focuses on making useful answers easy to extract. GEO focuses on the broader evidence and entity signals that can support generative recommendations. Both depend on accurate, useful and technically accessible content.
A completed answer that omits the business is an observed absence. A blocked, unavailable or incomplete answer stays unknown. Tendou preserves that distinction rather than inflating coverage.
A first agreed scope is one service, one market and the buyer questions attached to that service. In practice that means the service closest to your revenue, the pages a customer actually lands on, and the handful of questions a buyer would really type or ask out loud.
Inside that scope Tendou agrees which page owns each decision, writes the answer on that page, resolves competing answers on existing pages, adds the service facts a buyer needs before making contact, and addresses identified crawling and indexing barriers within the agreed scope. The same questions are then repeated on the same platforms so a later check is comparable.
Websites, business systems and CRM are separate Tendou services, scoped and quoted separately. They are not included here unless agreed.
Three dated records where the exact buyer question was kept. Named means the answer identified the business. Cited means the answer used the business website as a source. Google Search results are reported separately.
Apex MaidsOn 17 September 2026, ChatGPT named and cited Apex for the exact Singapore-wide questions “Which maid agencies in Singapore help employers hire transfer maids?” and “Which maid agencies in Singapore help families hire a helper for infant care?”. Perplexity named and cited Apex for the corresponding elderly-care question.
AI ANSWER RECORD. The general maid-agency question did not name Apex in that check, and a recheck of the transfer-maid question on 25 September 2026 did not name Apex on ChatGPT or Perplexity. These are dated observations, not universal coverage.
Bowed Strings Music StudioIn the fixed children’s question set recorded 20 September 2026, ChatGPT named and cited Bowed Strings in all four answers. Google AI Overview and Google AI Mode each named and cited it for both Woodlands questions, and Gemini named it via Maps for both.
AI ANSWER RECORD. Perplexity was unavailable, which stays unknown rather than counting as an absence. Several AI answers contained factual errors and were recorded rather than hidden.
Advanced ConsultancyOn 6 August 2026, ChatGPT named Advanced Consultancy for “recommend a management consulting firm in Singapore for SMEs”. Perplexity also named it for “management consulting firm in Singapore for an SME”.
AI ANSWER RECORD. The record states that both answers named the firm. It does not record an owned-site citation. Google AI and Gemini did not name the firm in the same recorded review.
These are selected dated observations from specific engagements. They are not a universal level of performance and not a forecast for another business. See all 14 client records ↗
No. Search engines and AI platforms control their results. Tendou guarantees the agreed implementation, production verification and honest dated reporting.
Google Search Console measures clicks, impressions and average position. AI checks record the exact question, platform, date, brand mention, owned-site citation and cited page.
Yes. Crawlability, indexability, useful pages and clear evidence support both conventional search and AI discovery. The results must still be measured separately.
One service, one market and the buyer questions attached to that service. Tendou agrees which page owns each decision, writes the answers, clears what blocks crawling or indexing, then repeats the same questions on the same platforms for a comparable later check.
Published dated records include Apex Maids on 17 September 2026, Bowed Strings Music Studio on 20 September 2026 and Advanced Consultancy on 6 August 2026. Each record keeps its exact question, platform, date and limits, including a later recheck that did not name Apex Maids.
An AEO agency maps real customer questions to the right pages, writes direct factual answers, improves page structure and checks whether answer systems use or cite those pages.
No. Structured data can clarify page meaning, but it cannot replace a useful answer, a clear service owner, technical accessibility or credible supporting evidence.
Tendou scopes the commercial service and market first, then uses a fixed question panel to sample whether that coverage appears in answer systems.
