GEO (generative engine optimisation) consultancy for brands in Malaysia
GEO (generative engine optimisation) in Malaysia means making sure ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews name your brand when buyers in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang and Johor ask what to buy, in English and in Malay. RemoteCMO is an AI visibility and GEO consultancy that serves brands in Malaysia, working remotely. We run your buyers' questions in each language, compare you with competitors, find the sources the engines quote, and fix the gaps.
How do buyers in Malaysia use AI search?
ChatGPT is the main AI assistant in Malaysia: in September 2026 it accounted for about 81% of AI chatbot referral traffic, with Google Gemini at about 14%, according to Statcounter. Buyers use it to shortlist brands, check prices in ringgit and compare what is on Shopee and Lazada.
Malaysia is a multilingual market. Buyers ask in English, in Malay and often in a mix of the two, and Chinese-speaking buyers may ask in Mandarin. Each language can return a different set of brands. We test the languages your buyers use and report them separately, so you can see where you are missing.
Statcounter figures are shares of AI chatbot referral traffic for September 2026, not counts of users.
