Let's build a website that works as hard as you do.
Get a fast, SEO-ready WordPress website built around your business, not a template.
We publish this list and we are on it. Say that first, because every “top 10 SEO agencies in Malaysia” article you will read today was written by an agency hoping to be one of the ten, and most of them do not mention it.
So this is not a ranking and nobody is called best. It is a comparison of things you can check yourself: what each company publishes as its price, what its star rating actually measures, and how much of the web links to it. Where we could not verify something, the cell is empty rather than filled with a guess.
The companies are the ones we found in Google Malaysia’s results for SEO-agency searches on 22 September 2026. That makes this a sample of who is visible, not a complete list of the market. Every source is linked at the end, so you can check any cell yourself.
What Malaysian SEO companies actually charge
Prices below were read from each company’s own website on 22 September 2026 and re-checked on 25 September 2026. They change, so treat the date as part of the data.
| Company | Published monthly price | What the price is attached to |
|---|---|---|
| Kang Xiang | RM880 · RM1,480 · RM2,080 | Tiered packages defined by keyword and backlink counts — 10 keywords and 100 backlinks at the entry tier, 60 and 400 at the top. The two upper tiers are marked as six-month subscriptions. |
| ZenWeb | RM1,299 · RM1,999 · RM3,500–6,000 | Named packages: Starter at RM1,299 and Growth at RM1,999 a month with a six-month minimum commitment, a Scale tier at RM3,500–6,000, and Enterprise on quotation. The same page also states a minimum monthly budget of “RM 3K+”, so ask which figure applies to you. |
| Exabytes | RM2,288 · RM4,488 · RM6,688 “as low as” | Three AI SEO tiers at 10, 30 and 50 keywords. Each tier guarantees that at least half its keywords (5, 15 or 25) will be “ranked on the 1st Page of Google within 12 Months”. Minimum contract: six months. |
| Adam SEO | RM3,500 · RM4,500 · RM9,500 | Three retainer tiers, with local and map-pack work from RM3,500, plus a standalone technical audit from RM2,500. Prices exclude SST. Their page puts the credible market range at RM2,300–10,000 per month. |
| Rankpage | RM2,899 · RM3,899 · RM4,000–8,000+ | Two named packages: Growth at RM2,899 a month (including 24 blog posts and on-page work on 10 pages) and Aggressive at RM3,899, described as “built to outrank your competitors in as little as 3 months”. A Custom tier runs from RM4k to 8k+. Their FAQ says clients on a long-term plan, such as one year, stay on the chosen plan. |
| Total Web Solutions (us) | RM1,500 · RM3,000 | Two retainers, plus a standalone RM800 audit. A three-month ramp-up, then month-to-month. |
| BrandSwift | — | Three named packages, each priced on quotation rather than published. The page does cite a market range of RM1,200–5,000+. |
The honest headline: publishing prices is normal in Malaysian SEO. We had assumed otherwise before checking. Five of the six other companies above put real numbers on a public page, which is more openness than most service categories manage, and it means a published price is not by itself a reason to choose anyone.
What the numbers do tell you is that the market has a floor and a ceiling. Entry sits near RM880–1,500. Serious retainers sit at RM3,000 and up. Anyone quoting far below that floor is selling you fewer hours than the work needs, whatever the package is called.
A caution about packages sold by the backlink
Some packages above are specified by how many backlinks they include. That number describes volume, not quality, and the two are close to unrelated — a hundred links from directories nobody reads is worth less than one link from a publication your customers actually visit.
This is not an accusation against anyone on the list. It is a request that you ask the follow-up question: where will these links come from, and would a human being ever read that page? If the answer is vague, you are buying volume.
What the star ratings are really measuring
This is the part most buyers get wrong, and it is worth two minutes. There are two completely different kinds of star rating in Google’s results:
- Google Business Profile ratings appear in the map pack. Real customers left them on Google, and the company cannot edit or remove them.
- Review snippets on an ordinary blue-link result come from review markup on the company’s own website. The reviews behind that number may well be genuine, but Google shows the figure the site supplies; it has not verified it the way it verifies a Business Profile.
Both render as gold stars. They are not the same evidence. Here is which is which across the field, alongside how many other websites link to each domain — a rough proxy for reputation that is harder to fake than a rating, though links can be bought:
| Company | Rating shown in search | Where that rating comes from | Referring domains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exabytes | 4.7 (4,827) | Own-site review markup | 3,196 |
| Shinjiru | 4.9 (2,513) | Own-site review markup | 1,463 |
| Kang Xiang | — | — | 990 |
| SEO.my | 4.9 (77) | Google Business Profile | 915 |
| Heroes of Digital | 4.6 (39) | Own-site review markup | 727 |
| iMarketing MY | — | — | 694 |
| BThrust | — | — | 592 |
| Rankpage | 5.0 (41) | Google Business Profile | 529 |
| LOCUS-T | 4.6 (210) | Own-site review markup | 465 |
| Cleverus | — | — | 324 |
| Mackyclyde | 5.0 (32) | Google Business Profile | 141 |
| Adam SEO | — | — | 131 |
| ZenWeb | 5.0 (54) | Own-site review markup | 112 |
| Hypercharge | 4.9 (71) | Google Business Profile | 85 |
| BrandSwift | — | — | 66 |
| Total Web Solutions (us) | 5.0 (7) | Google Business Profile | 57 |
Referring-domain counts are from one third-party backlink index on 22 September 2026. Different tools count differently, so compare figures within one tool. Ratings are as displayed in Google Malaysia the same day. Where a rating appeared on an ordinary search result rather than in the map pack, we have attributed it to own-site review markup, because that is where Google takes those ratings from; we did not inspect each company’s code. A blank means we found no published figure, not that none exists.
Two things that table says about us
We have the fewest referring domains of anyone on this list — 57, against 3,196 for the largest. On raw authority we are the smallest name here and it would be silly to pretend otherwise.
And our rating is real, but it is thin — 5.0 from seven Google reviews, by a distance the smallest sample on this table. Seven reviews is a start, not a track record, and you should weigh it that way. What we will not do is publish review markup on our own website to carry that number into search results. Even an accurate figure, published by the business it describes, is not independent evidence.
We would rather tell you that than quietly leave ourselves off a table we published.
How to actually use this
Shortlists are easy and useless. These five questions do more filtering than any ranked list, including this one:
- Is the star rating on a Google Business Profile, or on their own website? Click it and find out. Only one of those is independent.
- What does month one contain, specifically? Named pages and named fixes, not “on-page optimisation”.
- Can you buy the audit without the retainer? If diagnosis is only sold bundled with treatment, ask why.
- What is the minimum term? Six-month lock-ins are common in this market. That is not automatically wrong, but you should know before you sign, not after. (Ours is a three-month ramp-up, then month-to-month.)
- Who owns the content and the accounts when you leave? The answer should be you, on every item. Here is what it looks like when it isn’t.
If anyone on this list — us included — guarantees you a #1 ranking, walk away. Nobody controls Google’s results, and that guarantee is normally attached to a keyword nobody searches for.
Where we fit, honestly
We are a founder-led studio in Alor Setar, Kedah, working remotely across Malaysia, Singapore and Australia. We have the smallest link profile of anyone above, and we are newer than most. That is a real disadvantage on capacity and on reputation signals, and a real advantage if you want to deal directly with the person doing the work.
If you need a large team, multi-language campaigns or an office in Kuala Lumpur to visit, several companies on this list are better suited than we are, and we would rather say so here than waste your time finding out.

Frequently asked
How much do SEO companies charge in Malaysia?
Based on prices published by Malaysian SEO companies in September 2026, entry packages sit around RM880 to RM1,500 a month and serious retainers start near RM3,000, with published tiers reaching RM9,500 a month. One company on our list puts the credible market range at RM2,300 to RM10,000 per month.
Which is the best SEO company in Malaysia?
There is no defensible answer to that, and any article claiming one is usually written by a company hoping to be it — including ours, which is why we do not rank anyone. Compare published prices, check whether the star rating is a Google Business Profile or the company’s own review markup, and ask what month one actually contains.
Are the star ratings on SEO agency websites real Google reviews?
Not always. Ratings in the Google map pack come from Google Business Profiles and cannot be edited by the business. Star ratings on an ordinary search result come from review markup on the company’s own website. The reviews behind that number may be genuine, but Google has not verified it the way it verifies a Business Profile. Both look identical in search results.
Is a cheap SEO package worth it?
Below roughly RM800 a month the arithmetic stops working: there are not enough hours in the budget to research, write and fix anything, so what usually gets delivered is a report. Cheap is not automatically bad, but ask what work the number actually buys.
Should I pick an agency based on backlink counts in the package?
Be careful. Backlink counts describe volume, not quality, and the two are close to unrelated. A hundred links from directories nobody reads is worth less than a single link from a publication your customers actually visit. Ask where the links come from.
Is Total Web Solutions on this list because you wrote it?
Yes, and we say so at the top. We have also included the facts that make us look worst: we have the fewest referring domains of anyone listed, and our 5.0 rating rests on just seven Google reviews — the smallest sample on the table.

Corrected 25 September 2026: our own minimum term (a three-month ramp-up, not none); the ZenWeb, Adam SEO, Exabytes, Kang Xiang and BrandSwift rows, after re-checking their pages; and a count in the pricing summary. We also removed a rating field from our own site’s structured data, because it contradicted what this post says we do.
Updated 2 October 2026: added Rankpage’s published prices, read from its own pricing page that day. Rankpage was already in the ratings table; it was missing from the price table because we had not found its pricing page on 22 September.
