With Pali, SEO in Malaysia costs RM 200 for a one-off search audit, then RM 1,200 a month for Search Care or RM 2,400 a month for Search Growth, with a 3-month minimum. What moves the price is scope, how much new content you need, local work, link outreach and how competitive your searches are.
What drives the cost of SEO?
Five things decide how much work a site needs each month:
- Scope: how many pages, products or locations need to rank.
- Content volume: how many new pages must be written to answer what buyers search.
- Local work: a Google Business Profile, listings and reviews for each location.
- Links and mentions: outreach to directories, forums and press, which takes time to earn.
- Competition: how many strong sites already rank for the same searches in Malaysia.
What does a one-off SEO audit cover?
The audit tells you where you stand and what to do first. Pali’s audit covers:
- A premortem: what could stop the site from being found.
- A page inventory: the pages you need, and the ones you have that do not earn their place.
- A keyword and competitor gap: searches your buyers type that competitors answer and you do not.
- A publish-gate check with a fix list, ordered by impact.
What does a monthly SEO retainer cover?
| Work | Search Care | Search Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly report, enquiries first | Yes | Yes |
| AI answer tracking (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude) | Yes | Yes |
| Declining pages refreshed, technical fixes | Yes | Yes |
| Schema and llms.txt kept current | Yes | Yes |
| New answer-first pages every month | No | Yes |
| Google Business Profile and local SEO | No | Yes |
| Earned mentions and links outreach | No | Yes |
What should you avoid when buying SEO?
- Guaranteed rankings. No one controls Google’s results.
- Paid link packages. Bought links break Google’s spam policies and can sink a site.
- Lock-in contracts. A short minimum is fair; a year you cannot leave is not.
- Reports with positions but no enquiries. Rankings matter only if they bring buyers.
- Keywords without reasons. Every target should come with why it was chosen.
