We Reviewed 9 of the Best SEO Agencies in Malaysia. Here’s How They Measure Up.

What Brought Us Here

We did a deep dive on 9 highly-rated SEO agencies in Malaysia to find out which areas they excel in and when they might not be the best fit.

Why this research? Over our 10 years (since 2011!) running an SEO agency and working with local businesses, we’ve seen situations where:

• Clients have been disappointed before. We’ve sadly seen “mismatched expectations” where the initial goals of the businesses don’t match with the final results of the campaign.
• The agency is great, but just not great for that business. Sometimes, there’s a contrast between what the agency offers/specialises in and what the clients actually need.
• There’s too many choices! There’s no shortage of agencies offering SEO services in Malaysia. Whether it’s a quick Google search or ChatGPT prompt, there’s A LOT of websites, rating sites, and case studies to sift through before making your final decision.

Our hope is that after skimming through this article, you can find an agency that ticks most (if not all) of your boxes.

Our Methodology (a.k.a. How Did We Review Them?)

For every agency, our team looked at three aspects:

• Package and Pricing: What is included in their “standard” packages AND how much are they charging?
• Case Studies and Reviews: What case studies (and results) have they published AND what are their reviews like on third-party rating sites (e.g., Clutch, Sortlist)?
• Focus or Niche: What SEO strategies or combination of strategies (SEO, SEM, SMM) do they use, who have they worked with before, AND what industry are those businesses in?

To keep things simple, we focused only on Malaysian SEO companies and excluded international SEO agencies who also offer services in the country.

In every aspect of their services, Heroes of Digital places “conversions, leads, and revenue” front and centre. With a strong presence in Malaysia and Singapore, this digital marketing agency serves clients in healthcare, legal, education, B2B, and home services.

If you’re looking to invest in SEO as a complementary (rather than main) strategy to Google Ads and Social Media Marketing (SMM), Heroes of Digital is experienced in crafting strategies that integrate each or a combination of these.

Moreover, if you prefer checking your SEO performance in real-time rather than waiting till the end of the month, a key feature of Heroes of Digital is their automated reporting dashboard, where clients can check their keyword rankings and campaign progress on the spot.

Pricing (Standard Package): Custom Proposal and Pricing Plan

Free Website Audit: Yes

Reporting Style: Monthly Report

Clutch Rating: 5.0 stars (1 review)

Strengths & Limitations

Why We Picked Them

With a large clientele of health clinics, including aesthetic clinics, health brands, and chiropractic centres; MySense specialises in healthcare SEO. However, they also serve other industries, including education, eCommerce, home services (e.g., home furnishing), and finance.

It’s vital to note that MySense doesn’t take a “solely SEO” approach. Influencer and social media marketing strategies play a major role in their team’s overall strategy – using a combined approach to increase their clients’ online visibility and reach of a broader audience.

In video testimonials, MySense clients praise the agencies’ social media marketing efforts/results (i.e., able to get more leads and enquiries). Generally, MySense doesn’t go into too much detail about their approach or strategies in their case studies, so feel free to consult with them on the specifics!

Who Are They Best For

If you’re a health clinic looking to increase your digital presence on search engines and social media platforms, MySense has the experience and strategies to take you further. But they might not be the best choice if you’re looking for an “SEO only” strategy or do not have the budget for other channels – which they’re likely to advise for.

FAQs

Do I really need “AI search engine optimisation”?

TL;DR: Yes, if your audience is there.

It depends. AI search engines and LLMs have changed how we search, bringing us closer to a zero click future (no clicks on the results) and becoming a growing source for brand visibility.

Research by Ahrefs shows that AI funnels only a modest amount (0.1%) of traffic to websites. But, they point out that the main benefits of mentions on AI platforms are “improved brand awareness and positive brand sentiment” (which might not always be measurable).

The real question to ask is “Are my target audience/customers using AI to find me?”. If the answer is yes, then yes! — It’s smart to optimise for AI search engines as part of your overall marketing strategy.

If you’d like more insight into AI traffic, check out this research by Semrush.

Are SEO guarantees a plus or dealbreaker?

TL;DR: A dealbreaker IF they promise fast and specific results.

Be careful of SEO agencies guaranteeing specific results within short timeframes. For example, “We’ll get you #1 keyword rankings in 30 days, no problem”. SEO specialists (like us) can’t control search engine algorithms, so these outcomes can’t be guaranteed — Google confirms this!

Plus, agencies making unrealistic promises have a higher incentive to use unethical tactics that may deliver short-term gains but cause long-term website penalties. So when in doubt, remember: better safe than sorry.

How do I know if my SEO agency is doing a good job?

SEO agencies usually track key metrics such as organic traffic, conversion rates, keyword visibility, and brand awareness. And as you’ve seen on this list, good agencies will share monthly reports and schedule monthly calls to discuss your SEO performance.

How much is SEO in Malaysia? And how do agencies charge for SEO?

SEO prices in Malaysia typically range from RM900 to RM10,000+ per month. Here’s a quick pricing summary of the 9 SEO agencies we reviewed:

• “Starter packages” are priced at RM2000 – RM2500.
• “Advanced packages” are priced at RM3000 – RM4000.
• “Enterprise packages” are priced at RM5000 and above.
• Premium packages (like GrowthPros) start at RM8000.

SEO agencies usually base their pricing around factors like:

• Industry competitiveness
• Keyword difficulty and volume
• Website size and CMS
• Scope of work
• Local vs. national targeting
• Content needs
• Link building strategy
• Agency expertise
