Quick answer: PPC (pay-per-click) is the category that spans Google, Meta, TikTok and XHS advertising — as a PPC agency our job before any single platform starts is deciding which one (or mix) actually fits your budget and category, then managing the winning channels under one cost-per-lead report instead of four disconnected dashboards.
Most Malaysian businesses arrive at a paid-media conversation already having picked a platform — usually whichever one a competitor uses, or whichever one a previous agency defaulted to. That's backwards. The platform should follow from the budget, the category and the funnel stage, not the other way round.
This page is that decision, made explicitly and revisited as the account matures — not a single-platform execution page pretending to be a strategy.
This page and our channel pages exist deliberately side by side. Google Ads, Meta Ads, Facebook Ads, TikTok Ads and XHS Ads are the execution pages — how each platform actually works once it's the right one. This page is the allocation layer above all of them: given a real budget and a real category, which platform (or combination) the money should go to, and how the mix gets revisited as results come in.
A high-intent, already-searched-for category — legal, emergency dental, B2B software — usually weights toward Google, since the buyer is already looking. A visually-led, discovery-stage category — aesthetics, interior design, F&B, fashion — usually weights toward Meta or TikTok, since the buyer doesn't know they want it yet. Chinese-speaking-audience categories add XHS to that mix. None of this is a fixed rule — it's the first thing a PPC engagement decides, per account, before any campaign is built.
Given your category, funnel stage and target cost-per-lead, we decide the starting channel mix — not by default, but against real benchmark data from managed accounts.
Once a primary channel is proven and profitable, we size a test budget for a second — never splitting a small starting budget thin across platforms before either has enough data to optimise.
Whatever mix runs, it reports back as one cost-per-lead figure — not four platform dashboards you have to reconcile yourself.
A PPC retainer follows the same structure as our single-platform retainers — RM1500–5000/month fixed, or 15–20% of spend — scoped to the number of platforms actually running once the allocation decision is made, not charged as a flat multi-platform premium regardless of scope. Ad spend is always billed separately, direct to each platform. See the full pricing guide, or use the free ad budget calculator to size your own starting split.
Every PPC engagement runs our Signal Framework: audit the exposure, rebuild the creative, track the real conversion event, report the benchmark. At the PPC level, "audit the exposure" is the channel-allocation decision itself — which platform's existing demand or discovery mechanics actually match the category, before a single ad is built on any of them.
