How much does Google Ads cost in Malaysia?
Google Ads costs two things: ad spend you control with a daily budget, and a management fee. Here is where the money goes and how to set a budget that pays back.

Show up when people search near you.
I set up and manage your Google Business Profile so you appear on Google Maps and in local results, with the reviews, photos and posts that make people call.
From RM500 a month. Setup RM800 one-off.
Who this is for
- You serve customers in a specific area: clinic, salon, contractor, tuition centre, restaurant, florist.
- Your listing is incomplete, unverified or has duplicates.
- Competitors with worse service show above you on Google Maps.
- You get reviews but never reply to them.
- You do not know how many calls and direction requests Maps sends you.
What you get
Setup: audit of your current listing and duplicates
Setup: categories, services, attributes and description written properly
Setup: photo guidance and verification support
Setup: a review-request link and QR code
Setup: tracking of profile clicks to your website
Monthly: weekly posts and review replies
Monthly: Q&A monitoring and listing-change alerts
Monthly: report with calls, direction requests, website clicks and how people found you
How it works
-
Audit the listing
I check your profile, duplicates, categories and how you compare with the businesses above you.
-
Fix and complete it
Categories, services, description, photos and hours, written for how your customers search.

Post and collect reviews
Weekly posts, replies to every review, and a simple way for happy customers to leave one.

Calls, direction requests and website clicks from your profile, in plain language.
What to expect
Profile improvements can show within weeks. Ranking movement on Maps usually takes months and depends on your location, category and competition. Nobody can guarantee a top-three spot, and I will not promise one.
Live example: this site
Proof, measured in public
baqir.co is a service-area business with its own Google Business Profile, set up with the same method. I will publish its numbers here as they build up.

Questions people ask
Do I need a shop address to be on Google Maps?
No. If you serve customers at their location, you can set up a service-area business and hide your address.
How long until I rank higher on Maps?
Profile fixes can help within weeks. Ranking movement usually takes months. It depends on distance, relevance and how active and reviewed your profile is.
Can you guarantee a top-three position?
No. Nobody can. Anyone who guarantees Maps rankings is guessing. I focus on what you control: a complete, active, well-reviewed profile.
Can you remove bad reviews?
Only reviews that break Google's policies can be reported for removal. For the rest, I help you reply calmly and professionally, which future customers notice.
Should I add keywords to my business name?
No. Adding keywords that are not part of your real business name breaks Google's guidelines and can get the profile suspended.
