SEO Frequently Asked Questions

SEO, or search engine optimization, makes your website appear when customers search for what you sell. This includes Google and, more and more, AI engines like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. Without it, your website only reaches people who already know your name. See Why SEO for the full business case.

Based on our July 2026 survey of 20 top-ranking providers, most Malaysian SMEs spend RM1,500 to RM5,000 a month. Published entry packages average about RM1,760 a month. Our packages run RM1,200 to RM5,500+ a month. See pricing. Be careful of anything under RM1,000 a month. Across the industry, this usually signals low-quality tactics.

It usually takes 3 to 6 months to see meaningful movement, based on our case studies. One client reached 80% of target keywords on page 1 within six months. A resort went from one booking a week to one a day within 3 to 6 months. Local, low-competition keywords move faster. Competitive national terms take longer.

No. Google itself says this is not possible. Anyone promising number 1 in 30 days is either lying or using tactics that lead to penalties. What we can honestly offer is a specific number of keywords on page 1 within a set timeframe, with real consequences if we miss it. Ours: hit the guaranteed count within 12 months, or we work free until we do.

These are three layers of optimizing for AI-powered search. AI SEO is the umbrella term. AEO structures content so engines quote you as the answer. GEO builds the trust signals that make generative engines recommend your business. All three are included in every package we sell.

Ads buy visibility per click, and stop the moment spending stops. SEO earns visibility that compounds over time. Ads deliver results this week. SEO delivers lasting results from month 3 to 6 onward, at a falling cost per customer. Established businesses typically run both.

Local SEO optimizes for nearby-customer searches. This covers your Google Business Profile, Maps ranking, reviews and "near me" keywords. It brings the highest-intent traffic for clinics, contractors, restaurants and showrooms. See our local SEO service.

Ads show you which keywords convert. SEO then captures those same clicks without paying per click. Organic listings also earn trust that ads do not. Many clients fund their SEO using the ad spend it gradually replaces.

It is usually one of three causes. Technical: Google cannot read your site properly. Content: nothing targets what customers actually search. Authority: you have no quality links. An SEO audit tells you which one it is, free with our consultation.

Ask for case studies with real numbers. Ask for a clear monthly deliverables list. Ask them to state their methods plainly, and confirm they are white-hat. Expect realistic timelines of 3 to 6 months. Also ask "how do you handle AI search?" Walk away from guaranteed number-1 promises, secret methods and 24-month lock-ins.
