AI SEO Malaysia: get found on Google. Get named by ChatGPT.

AI SEO is optimising a business to be found in two places at once: ranking on Google, and being named when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews for a recommendation. The foundations overlap heavily. What differs is that AI answers name two or three companies instead of listing ten.

Traditional SEO competes for a position in a list of ten results. AI SEO competes to be one of the two or three sources an AI names before any list appears. Both run on the same technical foundations and the same authority signals, so AI SEO is an extension of SEO rather than a replacement for it.

Engagements typically run RM2,500 to RM5,000 per month for SMEs, RM5,000 to RM10,000 for mid-market businesses with regional reach, and above RM10,000 for enterprise scope. Offers below roughly RM1,500 per month rarely cover the off-site authority work that AI citation actually depends on.

Expect technical and structural fixes in months one to three, visible ranking movement around months three to six, and compounding results from six to twelve months. AI citation often moves before rankings do, because a well-structured page can be quoted in an answer before it climbs the results page.

Usually because your pages are not being retrieved in the first place. AI assistants run searches, pull back a ranked set of pages, and write from the top few. Retrieval position follows domain trust and third-party mentions, so a site with thin off-site authority stays invisible regardless of how well its own pages are written.

Some of it, yes. Allowing AI crawlers in robots.txt, adding Article and FAQPage schema, and restructuring pages to answer within the first hundred words are all achievable in-house. The part that is hard to self-serve is earning mentions on independent sources, which is what most citation actually rests on.

Yes. AI answer engines retrieve from search infrastructure before they generate anything, so a page invisible to search is also invisible to AI. Anyone selling AI SEO as a replacement for SEO is selling a rebrand. The right approach funds one strategy that serves both.

Judge on three things rather than claims: whether they can show you where you currently stand in AI answers, whether their plan includes off-site authority rather than only content, and whether they measure citation against a fixed question set each month.
