Industry SEO: Twelve Sector Programmes, Eight Countries, and the Rules That Change Between Them
A dental clinic, a fintech and a SaaS product do not need the same SEO, and the same dental clinic does not face the same rules in Sydney, Dubai and Toronto. This page is the index of our twelve sector programmes and the eight countries they run in: pick the sector by how you win customers, then open your market page for local prices, examples and the regulator whose rules shape your content.
Key facts before you choose a sector programme
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The sectors | SaaS, fintech, eCommerce, legal, healthcare, real estate, B2B, cybersecurity, dental, HR software, logistics and office furniture; sectors outside the twelve are scoped under managed SEO |
| What a sector programme adds | A keyword map built around how that sector’s buyers search, a content plan that respects the sector’s trust and compliance bar, and a competitor set drawn from the sector rather than from generic SEO |
| What the country adds | The regulator and the rules: health, finance and legal claims are governed differently in each of the eight markets, and the programme applies the rules of the country the page is for |
| Where the prices are | Each market page prices the three programme groups in its own currency; starting points follow the market’s managed-SEO start, from RM 5,000 in Malaysia to US$3,000 in the United States |
| Who delivers | One team headquartered in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, with sector reviewers and native-speaker writers per language; every engagement runs online in your business hours |
| Lowest commitment | The summary audit, which includes the sector recommendation, is free in all markets; programmes are month to month |
| What we do not sell | Guaranteed rankings in regulated sectors, templated “industry pages” reused across countries, or content that makes claims your regulator would not allow |
| How we decide | Data-driven: every recommendation starts from your Search Console, analytics and competitor data, and every month is reported in enquiries and sales in each market’s currency, not rankings alone |

Which sector programme fits, by how you win customers
Sectors are grouped by how buyers decide, because that is what changes the SEO work. Find your row, then open the programme; your market page has the local version.
| How you win customers | Start with | Why this programme | What the free audit shows |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free trial or demo sign-ups for software | SaaS SEO | Feature, integration and comparison searches convert; product-led content and a clean site structure beat blog volume | Feature and comparison demand for your category and the competitors already ranking |
| Account openings or applications in a regulated financial product | Fintech SEO | Content has to pass the market’s financial-promotion rules before it can rank; the programme builds the review into the workflow | Which terms you can compete for within your regulator’s wording rules |
| Orders from your own online store | eCommerce SEO | Category and product pages carry the revenue; crawl budget, duplication and marketplace competition decide whether they rank | Indexable catalogue pages, duplication and the gap to marketplaces in your market |
| Consultations for a law firm or practice area | Legal SEO | Practice-area pages plus local demand, written within the bar or law society’s publicity rules | Practice-area demand by city and what your publicity rules allow |
| Patient bookings for a clinic or provider | Healthcare SEO | Health claims are the most regulated content we write; the programme pairs local demand with a clinical reviewer | Local demand per service line and the claims that need rewording |
| Enquiries on listings or agent services | Real Estate SEO | Listing pages expire; the programme builds area and agent pages that keep ranking between listings | Area-level demand and whether your listing pages are indexable |
| Requests for quotation from other businesses | B2B SEO | Buyers search by specification and problem; enquiry paths per product family beat a single products page | Demand by product family and language, and RFQ paths that are missing |
| Security evaluations by technical buyers | Cybersecurity SEO | Technical buyers read documentation and comparisons, not brochures; content depth is the ranking factor | Which technical topics your competitors own and where the gaps are |
| Appointments across several dental or clinic locations | Dental SEO | A page and a Google Business Profile per location, under one brand and one review programme | Map-pack position per location and profile gaps |
| Software evaluations by HR and finance teams | HR Software SEO | Comparison and “alternatives” searches dominate; the programme builds pages that win them | Comparison demand for your product and competitors in your market |
| Shipments, lanes and contract logistics | Logistics SEO | Service and lane pages per route and mode capture demand a single services page cannot | Lane and service demand by origin market |
| Showroom visits and B2B orders for furniture | Office Furniture SEO | Catalogue SEO for the store plus project-led content for B2B buyers, in one plan | Catalogue indexation and project demand by city |

Regulated, eCommerce or B2B and SaaS: what changes in the programme
The twelve sectors fall into three groups by what decides rankings and conversions. Knowing your group tells you what the first 90 days will be spent on and why the price band differs.
| Regulated (fintech, legal, healthcare, dental, real estate) | eCommerce (stores, office furniture) | B2B and SaaS (software, cybersecurity, HR tech, logistics) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What decides rankings | Trust signals, author credentials and compliant wording as much as keywords | Catalogue structure, indexable categories and speed | Depth and usefulness of technical and comparison content |
| What decides conversions | Credentials, reviews and the regulator’s required disclosures | Price, delivery and returns clarity against marketplaces | Documentation, comparisons and a short path to a demo or quote |
| Who is in the workflow | Your compliance or clinical reviewer, built into content approval | Your merchandising and catalogue team | Your product or technical lead for accuracy |
| First 90 days | Compliance review of existing pages, then local and service-line demand | Crawl and duplication fixes, then category content | Technical fixes, then comparison and feature content |
| Price band | The higher end of each market’s range, reflecting review time | Scales with catalogue size | The market’s managed-SEO range |

Where sector programmes start in each market

|---|---|---|---|
| Australia | AUD $3,000 per month | AUD $800–$1,500 per month | AUD |

How sector delivery works across eight countries
- ✓A regulator per country, not a global templateHealth, finance and legal claims are checked against the rules of the country each page is for; the table above names the main bodies.
- ✓Your reviewer in the approval stepWhere the sector requires it, your compliance, clinical or legal reviewer approves content before publication; the step is built into the monthly plan.
- ✓Sector competitor sets per marketCompetitors are drawn from your sector in your country, because the same SaaS product faces different rivals in London and Singapore.
- ✓Native writers with sector briefsEnglish in all markets; Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese, Arabic and French where the market needs them, with sector terminology checked.
- ✓Local layers for multi-location sectorsA page and profile per clinic, office or branch, under one brand and one review programme.

Frequently asked questions
Which industries do you work with?
Twelve sector programmes: SaaS, fintech, eCommerce, legal, healthcare, real estate, B2B, cybersecurity, dental, HR software, logistics and office furniture, in eight countries. Sectors outside the twelve are scoped under managed SEO with the same method; the free audit tells you which applies.
Why does the same sector need a different programme in each country?
Because the regulator and the buyer change. A clinic can say different things in Sydney, Dubai and Toronto; a fintech faces different financial-promotion rules under the FCA, MAS or ASIC; and the language, map pack and competitors differ. The programme keeps one method and applies the rules and demand of the country each page is for.
How much does industry SEO cost?
Sector programmes start at each market’s managed-SEO starting price: RM 5,000 in Malaysia, SGD $3,000 in Singapore, AED 5,000 in the UAE, ₹1,90,000 in India, £2,000 in the UK, and CA$3,000, AUD $3,000 and US$3,000 in Canada, Australia and the United States, each per month and month to month. Regulated sectors sit at the higher end of each market’s range because of review time; the market pages show the full table.
Do you work with regulated sectors such as healthcare and finance?
Yes, with your compliance or clinical reviewer built into the approval step and claims checked against your regulator’s rules before publication. We do not promise rankings in regulated sectors and we do not publish claims a regulator would not allow, which rules out some tactics other agencies use.
Can one programme cover several countries?
Yes. A multi-market sector programme keeps one sector playbook and applies each country’s rules, language and competitors to its own pages, with hreflang and URL structure handled so the country versions do not compete. It is priced per market and reported with a line per market.
How long until a sector programme shows results?
Compliance rewrites and technical fixes show in the first month, local layers within 4–8 weeks, and competitive sector terms in 3–6 months. Regulated sectors can take longer because content moves through review; the free audit sets the baseline.
What if my sector is not on the list?
The method is the same; the sector programmes exist because these twelve have recurring patterns worth a dedicated page. Any other sector is scoped under managed SEO, with a keyword map and competitor set built for it, and the free audit recommends the right starting point.
