If you want your brand named when someone in Malaysia asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Google for a recommendation, you need an agency that does GEO, not only classic SEO. This list compares seven agencies that sell GEO or AI SEO to Malaysian businesses. For each one it covers where they are based, what they offer, what they charge where they publish it, and who they suit.
Disclosure: Stridec wrote this comparison and placed itself first. Read our entry with that in mind, and read the others for the cases where they are the better hire. We say where those are. Every figure attributed to another agency is that agency’s own published claim, taken from its website on 2 November 2026, with a link so you can check it.
The short version
- Stridec is the choice if you want published prices from S$2,500 a month, cancel anytime, and AI answers measured per engine from Malaysia.
- Primal and LOCUS-T are the large, award-winning Malaysian agencies, best if you want a big local team.
- Cleverus sells GEO only to businesses that already have SEO in place, on quarterly terms.
- Oblique publishes the highest GEO price range here, RM10,000 to RM30,000 a month, and pairs it with brand work.
- MYSense and Hypercharge focus on Malaysian SMEs, with large numbers of Google reviews.
How we compared them
We started from what the AI engines themselves recommend. On 2 November 2026 we asked 15 buyer questions from a Malaysian location, such as “best GEO agency Malaysia” and “SEO consultant Malaysia”, across Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude. That gave 270 answers. The agencies below are the ones those answers named most often that sell GEO or AI SEO.
Then we read each agency’s own website and recorded only what it states: location, services, prices and numbers. Where an agency does not publish something, we say so rather than guess. Two agencies the engines named often are not here: SEO.my, because it doesn’t sell a GEO service, and Rankpage, because we couldn’t load its website to check its claims.

1. Stridec: best for published prices and AI answers measured per engine
Best for: Malaysian brands that want to be named in AI answers, with prices they can see up front and results they can check themselves.
Stridec is a Singapore-based GEO/SEO agency that helps brands get recommended by AI searches such as Google, ChatGPT and Claude. We serve clients across Southeast Asia, Malaysia included, as well as North America, and we have worked in search since 2001. We don’t have a Malaysian office. We run the work from Singapore and check AI answers from a Malaysian location, because the engines answer differently depending on where the question is asked.
Prices: S$2,500 a month for GEO Foundations (one channel, Google or ChatGPT), S$4,500 for GEO Authority (Google and ChatGPT) and S$8,000 for Full-Spectrum GEO + SEO (Google, ChatGPT and Claude). Prices are in Singapore dollars, monthly, cancel anytime, with two months free on an annual term. Details are on the pricing page.
Proof: the method was built on founder Alva Chew’s own businesses first. AeroChat, Alva’s own software product, reached its first Google AI Overview in under three weeks in early 2026. Qwang Coffee, Alva’s own Shopify store, was cited in a Google AI Overview within 48 hours of its domain being registered, in Singapore. Both are on the case studies page.
Choose someone else if: you want a large local team in the room, or a single agency for ads, social and brand work as well as search. The larger Malaysian agencies below do that.

Choose Hypercharge if: you already plan to buy SEO and want GEO added at a stated monthly cost.
How to choose
Ask every agency on your shortlist for the same four things with each result it claims: the engine, the question, the market and the date. Then type the question yourself into a logged-out browser in Malaysia and see who comes back. An agency that reports one “AI visibility” score across every engine is hiding the fact that each engine answers differently.
Then match the shape of the engagement to your situation. If you have no SEO base, look for an agency that does both. If you already have strong SEO, a GEO add-on or a quarterly GEO engagement may be enough.

What is the difference between GEO and SEO?
SEO works on where your page ranks in the list of links. GEO, generative engine optimisation, works on whether your brand is named inside the answer an AI engine writes. GEO has nothing to do with geography. Most of the agencies here sell both.
Can a Singapore agency do GEO for a Malaysian business?
Yes. The engines are the same in both countries. What matters is checking answers from a Malaysian location and knowing which Malaysian sources the engines read for your questions.
