Below are Malaysia-based agencies you can contact for combined content strategy + high-performing web development, with short notes on what they’re good at, budget/size signals, and why I picked them. I included links to sources (for their capabilities / rankings) so you can check portfolios and client case studies before reaching out.

Top picks (what they do best + quick action)

• Quick action: Ask for a comparable client example and what’s included in each package (pages, content, optimisation).

6. Agencies listed on Clutch / specialised strategy firms (e.g., Zensite, other Clutch leaders)

• Why: Clutch provides verified client reviews, hourly rates and ability-to-deliver metrics — useful to shortlist by budget, team size and verified reviews. Use Clutch to compare multiple vendors quickly. (Clutch.co)
• Typical fit: wide range — filter by hourly rate, reviews, and service focus on Clutch.
• Quick action: Filter by “digital strategy” + Malaysia, shortlist 3–4, then request proposals.

How to choose the right agency (practical checklist)

• Outcome clarity: Ask for the primary metric they’ll improve (e.g., leads / MQLs / organic sessions / conversion rate) and the timeline to expected improvements.
• Portfolio & case studies: Request 2–3 recent case studies showing baseline → work → measurable outcomes (ideally with numbers).
• Process & ownership: Ask who owns content strategy vs. content production vs. development vs. analytics; confirm handoffs and revisions.
• Tech stack & performance: For development, request hosting, CDN, Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID/INP) approach and load time targets.
• SEO & analytics: Confirm ongoing SEO, tracking (GA4), event tracking, conversion setup and reporting cadence.
• Pricing & scope: Get clear breakout (strategy, production, development, hosting, maintenance). Ask for retainer vs. project cost and minimum contract period.
• SLAs & post-launch support: Confirm bug fix windows, uptime responsibilities, and security/backup policies.

Suggested shortlist + next steps (fast route to decide)

1. Pick 3 agencies from above (one strategy/content lead, one developer, one full-service) — e.g., Paperballad (strategy + content), Orangesoft (dev) and One Search Pro (SEO/content execution).
2. Send a one‑page brief (objectives, target audience, KPI, current traffic/tech stack, timeline, budget range).
3. Ask for a 30–45 minute discovery call and a one-page proposal (approach + deliverables + cost + timeline) within 7 days.
4. Score proposals on (a) strategy clarity, (b) metrics & reporting, (c) team & CVs, (d) price-fit, (e) references/case studies.

If you want, I can:

• Draft a one-page brief template you can send to agencies (includes KPIs and must-have questions).
• Narrow these to 3–5 agencies based on your exact budget, industry, and whether you prefer Kuala Lumpur-based teams or remote-first firms.

Which of those would you like next — the brief template, or a narrowed shortlist based on your budget and industry?
