Brands Across Asia That Work With Primal
Each Market Searches In Its Own Words
Buyers in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand search in different languages and use different words for the same product, and Google shows each of them the page version it judges right for their country. When a site sends unclear signals, Google can show the Singapore page to buyers in Malaysia, or split rankings between versions so that none of them ranks well. International SEO gives each market its own researched keywords, its own page version and the signals that tell Google where each version belongs.

Your International SEO Questions Answered
How long does international SEO take to show results?
Hreflang and site structure fixes can change which version Google shows within weeks. A new country version usually takes several months of local content and links to rank for competitive keywords, because it starts with less history in that market.
How do I choose an international SEO agency?
Whether you hire a global SEO company or a regional agency, ask whether it has people in the markets you are entering, how it researches keywords in each language, how it sets up and checks hreflang tags and how it reports by country. Ask for SEO case studies from more than one market.
Should each country have its own domain?
It depends on your brand, your budget per market and who runs each site. Country domains such as .com.my and .sg tell local buyers the site is for them, while subfolders on one domain share links across markets. We recommend a structure after reviewing your markets and your current site.
Do you run SEO in Singapore and other markets?
Yes. Primal has offices in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Bangkok, and runs international SEO in Malaysia for brands expanding abroad as well as for overseas brands entering Malaysia.
What do your international SEO services include?
Keyword research for each country and language, site structure, hreflang set-up and checks, local content, links from publishers in each market and reporting by country, with citations in AI answers tracked by the same team. The strategy sets which parts come first.
How much does international SEO with Primal cost?
International SEO at Primal runs inside an ElevateSEO program, from RM5,500 a month. The fee depends on how many pages and markets the work covers and how much content and link work it needs. Scope is set after a 30-minute call. See our guide to SEO costs in Malaysia.
