Which page should you be on
Google usually sends you to the page for your country; if it sent you here, pick the row that matches your situation. The market pages carry local prices, local examples and the compliance rules of that country; this page keeps only what is common to all eight.

Everything we do, across all eight markets
Seven hubs that apply in every market; each one links to its country versions, where scope, pricing basis, examples and FAQs are local.
Scope and first visible change by service line
The only table on this page that lists every service side by side; the figures are the same in every market because the method is. Prices are in the per-market table further down.
| Service line | Built for | What is delivered first | First visible change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free summary audit | Any business with a website or Google Business Profile in one of the eight markets | Prioritised issues against three competitors in your market’s Google and a recommended service | 3 working days |
| Managed SEO | Businesses competing for national or regional terms in one market | Keyword map in the languages your buyers use, technical fixes, 90-day content and link plan | Weeks 2–4 technical gains; months 3–6 on competitive terms |
| International SEO | Companies selling in two or more markets | Market-by-market demand check, hreflang and URL-structure plan, one keyword map and content line per market | Month 1 structure; months 3–6 per market as content lands |
| Local SEO | Single locations and multi-location brands | Google Business Profile rebuild, local pages, review and citation plan | 4–8 weeks in the map pack |
| Industry programmes | Sectors with their own trust bar: clinics, legal, fintech, eCommerce, B2B, SaaS | Sector keyword map, compliance-aware content plan for that country, competitor set | Month 2–3 |
| Backlink services | Sites whose content ranks on page two for lack of authority | Vetted placement list in the market’s publications and languages, anchor plan | Month 2–3 as links index |
| Web development | Sites too slow or rigid to rank or convert, or that need a second language | Keyword-mapped architecture, templates per language, redirect map | 10 working days to 5 weeks to launch |
| CRO services | Sites with traffic but few enquiries | Tracking audit, funnel map by traffic source and market, quick wins | First month |
One agency for several markets, an agency per market, or a global network: what changes
Companies that sell in more than one of our markets usually choose between three set-ups. The table shows what each costs you beyond the fee; the last row is what we do, so you can hold us to it.
| Set-up | What you gain | What it costs you beyond the fee | When it is the right choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| A local agency in each market | Deep knowledge of one country’s search results, media and rules | Separate keyword maps that overlap, pages that compete with each other across country folders, three or four reporting formats, and no one owning hreflang | One market matters far more than the rest, or each country has its own marketing team and budget |
| A global network agency | One contract and one account manager for everything | Work delivered by different offices to different standards, enterprise minimums, and reporting in one currency that hides which market is paying back | Enterprise budgets with procurement that needs a single vendor |
| In-house plus freelancers | Full control and the lowest visible cost | Your time to recruit, brief and check native writers in each language, and no one to own the technical and structural work between markets | A marketing team with SEO experience and time to manage it |
| Ren Hao SEO: one online team, one method, one price list per market | Each market gets its own keyword map, native copy, competitor set and local-currency price, and one strategist owns the structure that stops the markets competing | A team that is not based in your country; every meeting is online, scheduled in your business hours | Two to eight of our markets matter to you and you want one plan that reports each market in its own currency |

What SEO costs in each market
We quote and invoice in each market’s currency; the table lists every market’s starting price for managed SEO so the eight can be compared, with approximate US-dollar equivalents at October 2026 rates for orientation only. Scope-by-scope ranges for a given country are on its market page and in the SEO pricing guides.
| Market | Managed SEO starts at | Approximate USD | Website build starts at |
|---|---|---|---|
| Australia | AUD $3,000 per month | about US$2,000 | AUD $2,000 one-off |
| Canada | CA$3,000 per month | about US$2,200 | CA$1,800 one-off |
| India | ₹1,90,000 per month | about US$2,300 | ₹1,10,000 one-off |

Every retainer is month to month and the summary audit is free in all eight markets. Local SEO per location, one-off audits, eCommerce and enterprise programmes are priced per scope on each market page. Multi-market programmes are priced per market, so the total is the sum of the markets you choose, each in its own currency.
How an engagement starts
- 1Free summary audit (3 working days)Send your website, the markets you sell in and, if you have one, Google Business Profile access. We check technical health, content and authority against three competitors in each market’s Google and recommend the service and market order that fit, with a written scope in your currency.
- 2Kick-off and keyword maps (weeks 1–2)An online discovery call in your business hours, then demand maps per language and market, a competitor set per market and a 90-day plan; tracking for calls, forms and chat is set up by market so the baseline is clean.
- 3Build and fix (months 1–3)Structural and technical fixes ship first, including hreflang and URL structure for multi-market sites, then pages, local profiles or links according to the plan; every change is checked for speed and crawl impact before it goes live.
- 4Report and compound (monthly)A monthly report per market in enquiries, calls, chat and sales by landing page, each in its own currency, beside rankings and traffic; the plan is re-prioritised each month and the retainer renews month to month.

SEO in the AI search era: what actually works now
Estimate what SEO could be worth to your business, in US dollars
Before you choose a market page or an agency, put the opportunity in numbers. Enter the monthly searches for one keyword you want to own, your conversion rate and what a customer is worth; the calculator returns the visits, customers and revenue a top ranking could produce, and what buying the same clicks through Google Ads would cost each month. The inputs are in US dollars so the eight markets can be compared on one scale; each market page carries the same calculator in its own currency. The output illustrates scale from your inputs; it is not a quote.
Competition, keyword difficulty and the state of your site move every figure, and they differ by country. The free audit replaces the assumptions with data from the market you choose.
“Ren Hao SEO turned organic search into our biggest pipeline source. We finally have a channel that compounds.”
“The transparency is unlike any agency we’ve worked with. We always know what’s happening and why.”
Frequently asked questions
Which countries does Ren Hao SEO work in?
Eight: Australia, Canada, India, Malaysia, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States. Each has its own market page with local prices, examples and compliance rules, and each is run by the same team from our headquarters in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, with every engagement online.
How much does SEO cost with an international agency?
It depends on the market, not on the fact that we work internationally. Our managed SEO starts at AUD $3,000 in Australia, CA$3,000 in Canada, ₹1,90,000 in India, RM 5,000 in Malaysia, SGD $3,000 in Singapore, AED 5,000 in the UAE, £2,000 in the UK and US$3,000 in the United States, each per month and month to month. Multi-market programmes are priced per market, so the total is the sum of the markets you choose.
Should I use one agency for several countries or a local agency in each?
A local agency per market makes sense when one country matters far more than the rest or each country has its own marketing team. One agency makes sense when two or more markets matter and you want one keyword map per market, one owner for the hreflang and site structure that stops the markets competing, and one report with a line per market. The comparison table on this page sets out the trade-offs of each set-up.
You are not based in my country. Does that matter?
For most engagements, no: SEO work is done on your site, your Google Business Profile and your market’s search results, all of which we work on online. What matters is a keyword map built in your market and language by native speakers, a competitor set from your country’s Google, and calls in your business hours, which is how every engagement runs. Every meeting, from discovery to monthly reporting, is a video call.
Do you research and write in languages other than English?
Yes, where the market needs it: Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore, Arabic in the UAE and French in Canada, each with its own keyword map and written by native speakers. English pages are not machine-translated into other languages, and each language is scoped and priced as its own line.
How long does SEO take to show results?
Technical fixes and quick wins show in the first month, local map-pack movement usually within 4–8 weeks, and competitive national terms in 3–6 months; multi-market programmes add a month at the start for structure and then follow the same curve in each market as its content lands. Timelines depend on your starting point and competition, which is why the free audit sets a baseline per market before any promise is made.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No. Nobody controls Google’s results, and guaranteed-ranking claims are treated as misleading by consumer and advertising regulators in every market we work in. You get realistic ranges by term and market, a plan with milestones, monthly reports in enquiries and sales, and a month-to-month contract you can end if the work is not delivering.
