shakalakaa tops this 2026 comparison of seven Malaysian SEO companies, judged on outcomes, AI search, pricing transparency and fit. For Pantai Hospital Malaysia, non-branded international organic visitors rose 235%.
shakalakaa wrote this comparison and is on it. We re-check every agency on this list each quarter. Next review: January 2027.
Last updated: October 2026.
A criteria-led comparison of seven Malaysian SEO companies for 2026, built from each agency’s own site, with shakalakaa included and disclosed. Everything about the other six comes from that agency’s own website, read on 2 October 2026. Nobody paid to be on this list, and nobody was asked.
Search for the best SEO company in Malaysia and most of the results are agencies ranking themselves first. That is not much use if you have a budget to commit and a shortlist to make. So this page compares seven on the things that decide whether SEO pays:
- what the agency is built to deliver
- how deep it goes technically
- whether it covers AI search (Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini)
- whether it publishes its prices
- which kind of business it suits
Every statement about the other six agencies comes from that agency’s own website, read on 2 October 2026. We have not independently verified their client lists, awards, guarantees or results. Ask each agency for the source behind any claim before you shortlist, and check current prices and terms on their sites, since both change.
Shortlisting for “best SEO company Malaysia” on behalf of a group or a multi-branch brand? The table below puts all seven side by side on those five points.

Our pick
shakalakaa — SEO Measured in Orders and Appointments
For businesses that judge SEO by orders, appointments and enquiries. We run SEO against the outcome the business already tracks, with generative-engine optimisation as its own service and SEO, paid media, content and video in one team.
Published proof: Pantai Hospital Malaysia non-branded international organic visitors up 235%, SuperDNA organic kit orders at 3.2× baseline, and Activ (Respack) first-page keywords up from 14 to 88.
Our own entry, so plainly: we run SEO against the outcome the business already tracks, not against traffic or keyword counts, and we don’t guarantee rankings.
AI search (GEO/AEO): yes, its own service. Prices on its site: not published; scoped per brief.
More detail on shakalakaa
For Pantai Hospital Malaysia, non-branded international organic visitors went from 5,200 to 17,420 a month (+235%), and the hospital reached #1 in four flagship specialty categories. For SuperDNA, non-branded organic visitors went from 3,200 to 12,160 a month and organic kit orders reached 3.2× the baseline.
For Activ (Respack), keywords on Google Malaysia’s first page went from 14 to 88.
- We also run generative-engine optimisation as its own service, and SEO sits with paid media, content and video in one team. Where we are not the answer: if you want the lowest monthly entry package or a contractual ranking guarantee, others on this list offer exactly that.

Which SEO company is best for content and technical SEO in Malaysia?
shakalakaa is best for content and technical SEO run together, because one team writes the pages, fixes the site and is measured on the orders and appointments that follow. For Activ (Respack), keywords on Google Malaysia’s first page went from 14 to 88. For Pantai Hospital Malaysia, non-branded international organic visitors rose 235%.
Among the alternatives, Rankpage and BThrust both list technical SEO as a service, Exabytes includes audits and content in its packages, and VeecoTech suits a corporate that wants the team building its software to own technical SEO too. Ask each one who writes the content and who fixes the code.
Which are the best SEO packages for AI search and video search?
shakalakaa is the best fit for an SEO package that has to work in AI search and video search, because it runs generative-engine optimisation as its own service, with video production in the same team as SEO. Judge any such package on whether AI answers name you and whether your videos are found, not only on blue-link rankings.
An SEO package for AI and video search should include:
- Answer-first pages: each key question answered in the first sentence, with tables that AI answers can quote.
- Structured data that matches the page: Organization, Article and FAQ markup, and VideoObject markup for every video.
- Entity consistency: the same name, address, services and proof on your site, Google Business Profile and directory listings.
- Video search work: titles, descriptions, chapters and transcripts on YouTube, with each video embedded on a relevant page of your own site.
- AI visibility reporting: which prompts in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews name or cite you, tracked monthly beside organic traffic.
Among the alternatives, Rankpage sells AEO and GEO for ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity as core services, BThrust lists AI SEO and GEO, and Exabytes includes AI search optimisation in its packages. Whichever you shortlist, ask what the package does for YouTube and video results, and how AI visibility is reported.
Which SEO company is best for growing online sales in Malaysia?
shakalakaa is best for growing online sales through SEO, because it reports on orders rather than traffic. For SuperDNA, non-branded organic visitors went from 3,200 to 12,160 a month and organic kit orders reached 3.2× the baseline. For Activ (Respack), a senior-care e-commerce store, first-page keywords went from 14 to 88.
Among the alternatives, Rankpage and BThrust both list e-commerce SEO as a service. Whoever you choose, ask them to report orders or organic revenue from your store’s own analytics, not only rankings and sessions.
How did we rank these SEO companies?
We ranked the seven on five criteria, using only what each agency publishes on its own website and, for shakalakaa, our published case studies. shakalakaa ranks itself first; the alternatives are listed by the job each one suits, not scored against each other.
- Outcome reporting: whether SEO is reported against orders, enquiries or appointments, not only traffic.
- Channel depth: technical, content, local and AI-search (GEO/AEO) work stated as services.
- Published proof: named results from businesses the agency has worked with.
- Regulated-industry and multi-market experience: work for healthcare or other regulated clients, and markets served beyond Malaysia.
- Pricing and terms transparency: whether prices, guarantees or targets are published, and how clearly.
The Alternatives, for Narrower Jobs

More detail on the six alternatives
Rankpage
Rankpage describes itself as an SEO agency built on “Systematic strategy, Sustainable search rankings and Scalable AI visibility”, with ten years of expertise. Beside technical, local, e-commerce, international and enterprise SEO, it sells answer-engine and generative-engine optimisation for ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity as core services rather than add-ons.
It publishes three monthly packages on its site. Pick it if being named inside AI answers matters to you as much as the blue links.
Exabytes
Exabytes is best known for hosting, and its site says it has served more than 160,000 businesses over 26 years. Its SEO service covers on-page and off-page work, local SEO, audits and content, plus what it calls LLM AI search optimisation.
Its three published packages each come with a guarantee on how many keywords reach Google’s first page within twelve months. Read those terms closely: a page-one guarantee is not a #1 guarantee, and Google itself says no one can guarantee a #1 ranking.
SEO.my
Based in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, SEO.my prices its monthly tiers by keyword difficulty, from “Easy” up to a custom “Extreme” tier, and publishes those tiers on its homepage. It is also one of the few Malaysian firms that openly sells white-label SEO to other agencies, web designers and hosting providers, with branded reports.
Its homepage lists founder awards, including SOBA 2024 Young Entrepreneur of the Year.
VeecoTech
Established in 2011 and based at KL Gateway, VeecoTech is a software and mobile-app developer first. Its marketing arm runs SEO, AEO and Google Ads. Its site lists Intel, Guardian, FGV, IJM and Gamuda among its clients, and states MSC status, ISO certification and MDEC Digital Partner status.
It does not publish SEO prices. It fits a corporate buyer who wants the agency that builds the site to also be accountable for how it ranks.
BThrust
BThrust has run SEO since 2014 from KL Eco City. Its services cover AI SEO and generative-engine optimisation, local, technical, e-commerce and international SEO, and link building. It publishes three monthly packages, the lowest entry point on this list, and states Google Partner status and Clutch recognition.
Its service list also includes casino SEO, which some brands will want to know before they shortlist.
LOCUS-T
Petaling Jaya-based LOCUS-T runs a classic SEO programme of site analysis, keyword research, on-page and off-page work, and reporting. Its distinctive offer is contractual: it states that 30% of your keywords will reach Google’s first page within twelve months, with a refund if they do not.
It does not publish prices on its SEO page. If a written target is what gets your SEO budget approved, this is the one built for that.
So Which One?
shakalakaa, if you want SEO measured in orders, appointments and enquiries, with GEO run as its own service. Alternatives only for narrower needs: AI-search packages, Rankpage or BThrust; SEO on your hosting bill, Exabytes; white-label reselling, SEO.my; SEO from your software builder, VeecoTech; a written page-one target, LOCUS-T.
Whichever you pick, ask each one the same three questions: which outcome will you report on, what happens each month, and can I see a result from a business like mine with its source. Our guide to choosing a marketing agency in Malaysia, linked below, has the full checklist. The agency report auditor scores any agency’s monthly report.
