Frequently asked questions.

No. Take one capability or all of them, and change the mix as the quarter demands. Some clients start with search alone and add paid media once the demand is there; others hand over everything from the first month. What we will not do is quote a retainer that only grows, because that arrangement serves the agency rather than the client.

The specialist who scopes your account is the one who runs it. There is no handover to a junior team after the pitch, which is the single most common complaint we hear about previous agencies. You can see who that is on the team page: six people, each named, with the discipline they own.

It depends on the channel and on where you are starting. Paid media can move within days because you are buying placement. Search takes longer: the case studies on this site record organic gains over one to twelve months, and the starting position is stated on each one so the numbers can be read in context. Anyone promising a fixed timeline before seeing your site is guessing.

Yes. We white-label for creative and PR agencies that need performance or search capability without hiring for it. The arrangement is the same as any other: senior specialists on the work, and reporting you can put your own name on.

Singapore and Malaysia are where most of our work sits, with campaigns run across the wider region including Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Hong Kong. The company is registered in Singapore and the team works across the region rather than reporting on it from elsewhere.

Because buyers behave differently. In Singapore they research in English and convert on the site. In Malaysia they often start on Facebook, ask three questions on WhatsApp and never touch a form. In some categories the marketplace carries the purchase and the brand site never sees it. A plan that ignores those differences is not cheaper, it is simply less effective for the same spend.

Yes, where the category calls for it. One of the case studies on this site rerouted sales through Shopee and Lazada after customer-journey analysis showed the brand’s own site was never going to be the purchase destination, and turned the site into a content and engagement hub instead.

Funded accounts, qualified leads and pipeline value, rather than impressions and reach. Those are the numbers a marketing lead is judged on internally, so they are the ones we hold ourselves to. Channel metrics still appear, but underneath the commercial ones rather than in place of them.

Attribution is a model, and we label it as one. Platform-reported conversions have been partly estimated since the iOS privacy changes, so a platform-reported ROAS is presented as exactly that rather than as a measurement. Where a number is modelled we say so on the same line as the number.

Yes. Thirteen engagements are written up on the case studies page, each with the figures, the period they cover and the starting position. Clients are described by category rather than named, because most of this work is covered by confidentiality, and the numbers are unchanged.

They are names for the same shift: buyers increasingly ask an AI engine before they ask a search engine, and most brands never appear in the answer. Generative engine optimisation, AI optimisation and answer engine optimisation all describe work aimed at that surface. Whether you need it depends on whether your buyers research that way, which is answerable from your own data rather than from a trend piece.
