What is a GEO agency and what does it do?
A GEO agency (Generative Engine Optimization agency) gets brands cited and recommended inside AI-generated answers on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. The work includes AI visibility auditing, fixing AI crawler access, entity and schema engineering, citation-format content, building third-party mentions AI trusts, and tracking brand citations monthly. Newnormz runs all of this as one system called the Newnormz GEO Visibility Engine.
Which is the best GEO agency in Malaysia?
The best GEO agency in Malaysia is the one that can show you clients named inside live AI answers, publishes its GEO pricing, audits your SEO foundation before selling you anything, and tracks citations in Bahasa Malaysia as well as English. Newnormz meets all four on this page: Oriental Kopi, Times Parking and Sunway TCM Centre are cited by ChatGPT today, GEO packages run from RM2,900/month, every campaign starts with a foundation audit, and Share of AI Voice is tracked bilingually. Rated 5.0 from 205 Google reviews.
How much do GEO services cost in Malaysia?
GEO pricing in Malaysia ranges from about RM1,400/month for budget packages to RM30,000/month at enterprise agencies. Newnormz GEO packages are published openly: RM2,900/month (Starter), RM4,500/month (Growth) and RM6,500+/month (Leader), on simple quarterly terms with no annual lock-in. Be cautious with cheap GEO offers that show no clients inside actual AI answers.
What is the difference between GEO and SEO?
SEO earns your website a position in Google’s ranked links. GEO earns your brand a mention inside the AI answer itself on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. They share about 90% of their foundations, and 76% of AI Overview citations come from pages already in Google’s top 10, so strong GEO is built on strong SEO. The difference is the extra layer: entity consensus, AI crawler access, freshness cycles and citation tracking.
What is the difference between GEO and AEO?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) formats your content so answer engines like Google AI Overviews can lift it directly: direct answers, FAQ structure, schema markup. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) goes wider, building the entity signals and third-party citations that make generative AI like ChatGPT and Gemini recommend your brand even when they never quote your website. Newnormz includes AEO inside every GEO package.
How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT in Malaysia?
Five steps: (1) make sure your site doesn’t block OpenAI’s crawlers (5.9% of websites do by accident), (2) rank on page 1 for your commercial keywords, since AI pulls from top results, (3) get your brand into the “Best in Malaysia” lists and comparison pages AI synthesises answers from, (4) keep key pages updated within 30 days with extractable answers and data, and (5) build consistent reviews and third-party mentions. This is exactly the sequence a GEO campaign runs. Ask ChatGPT for the best kopi brand in Malaysia and you’ll see the result: our client Oriental Kopi is the answer.
How long does GEO take to show results?
With a healthy SEO foundation, first AI citations typically appear within 60 to 90 days. Consistent mentions across engines build over 3 to 6 months, and category-level dominance (“AI recommends you first”) takes 6 to 12 months. We baseline your AI visibility score in week one and report the trend monthly, so you see movement long before the phone rings from an AI referral.
Can you guarantee my brand appears in ChatGPT or Gemini?
No one can honestly guarantee a specific AI answer, because generative engines are probabilistic and change between sessions. Any agency guaranteeing “ChatGPT will recommend you” is misleading you. What Newnormz commits to is the measured trend: we baseline your AI visibility score in week one and you watch it improve within 90 days, tracked engine by engine. We stand behind the inputs and the measurement, not a machine we don’t control. That’s the honest version, and our quarterly terms mean we re-earn your business every 3 months instead of hiding behind a 12-month contract.
How do you measure GEO success?
We track your Share of AI Voice monthly: how often each AI engine mentions your brand across your category’s real buyer prompts, in which sentiment, versus which competitors. Alongside that: AI-referred traffic and leads (which convert up to 23x better than organic visitors), branded search growth, and AI Overview presence for your keywords. Reported in plain language, never a 40-page mystery PDF.
Does GEO replace SEO?
No. GEO sits on top of SEO. AI engines cite sources that already have authority, which is why 76% of AI Overview citations come from top-10 pages. Cutting SEO to fund GEO pulls the foundation out from under the layer you’re building. The right structure is one strategy covering both, which is how every Newnormz campaign is built.

What is llms.txt and do I need it?
llms.txt is a file on your website that gives AI systems a clean, structured summary of your most important content, similar to what robots.txt does for crawler permissions. It’s an emerging standard: low effort, zero risk, and a clear signal that your site is AI-readable. We implement it in every GEO package alongside the more impactful work of unblocking AI crawlers and fixing JavaScript rendering.
Which AI platforms do you optimise for?
ChatGPT and SearchGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, DeepSeek and Malaysia’s own Nur AI, plus voice assistants. Each engine selects sources differently, so we optimise per engine and track citations per engine, in English and Bahasa Malaysia.
Do Malaysian businesses really need GEO now?
If your customers ask AI for recommendations, yes, and the data says they already do: 900 million people use ChatGPT weekly and AI referral traffic grew 9.7x in a year. The presence of an AI Overview cuts clicks to the #1 result by 58%. Early movers matter more in GEO than they did in SEO, because AI builds consensus from what’s already published: every month your competitors are cited and you aren’t makes their position stronger.
Which industries benefit most from GEO in Malaysia?
Categories where buyers ask for recommendations: F&B and franchises, B2B services and suppliers, healthcare and TCM, professional services, ecommerce and retail brands, property, education and travel. If people ask “who is the best X in Malaysia”, GEO decides whether your name is in the answer. Our case studies span exactly these: Oriental Kopi (F&B), Times Parking (B2B services), Sunway TCM Centre (healthcare).
Can you fix what AI says wrongly about my brand?
Usually, yes. AI hallucinations about brands come from stale, thin or conflicting information across the web. We correct the source signals (your entity data, key pages, third-party listings), monitor AI-referred 404s from invented URLs and 301 them to correct pages, and re-test the prompts monthly until the answer is accurate. Accuracy monitoring is included in GEO Growth and above.
Should I do GEO in-house or hire a GEO agency in Malaysia?
In-house works if you have someone who can run technical SEO, schema, content operations, digital PR and monthly multi-engine citation testing together, and stay current as AI platforms change monthly. Most Malaysian SMEs don’t, which is why bolting GEO onto an existing marketing exec’s plate usually produces nothing. An agency makes sense when you want the full system run accountably. The honest test works here too: ask any provider to show you a client inside a live AI answer.
How do I choose the best GEO agency in Malaysia?
Ask five questions: (1) Can you show me a client cited inside a live AI answer I can verify right now? (2) Is your pricing published? (3) Do you commit to measured results in a defined timeframe? (4) Do you audit my SEO foundation first or sell GEO to anyone? (5) Do you track citations in Bahasa Malaysia as well as English? Newnormz passes all five on this page. Most agencies pass none. Run your shortlist through them and watch who squirms.
