8 Best GEO Agencies in Asia-Pacific for B2B SaaS (2026)
Asia-Pacific SaaS teams sell into many markets, languages and AI engines. These 8 GEO agencies are scored on the SaaS proof, coverage and prices they publish.
Last updated: November 5, 2026. Pricing, terms, services and results checked on each agency’s own website.
The best GEO agencies in Asia-Pacific for B2B SaaS in 2026 are DerivateX, Exalt Growth, Synscribe, Geolix.ai, Canlah AI, Kaliber, StudioHawk and Mercury Technology Solution. DerivateX ranks first for $5M to $50M ARR B2B SaaS that want Google and AI search run as one program from $5,000 a month, Exalt Growth is the pick for funded Australian and global SaaS that want a founder-led specialist, and Synscribe fits Series A to B SaaS selling across Southeast Asia. Geolix.ai is the only agency here that tracks Chinese AI engines such as DeepSeek and Doubao, Canlah AI and Kaliber publish the clearest Singapore prices, StudioHawk suits ANZ SaaS that need SEO and digital PR at scale, and Mercury covers Hong Kong and Japan in English and Chinese.
Asia-Pacific is not one market. A SaaS company in Sydney selling to the US, a Singapore startup selling across six Southeast Asian countries and a Hong Kong brand entering mainland China need different things from a GEO (generative engine optimization) agency: different AI engines, languages and third-party sources. Most “best GEO agencies in APAC” lists are written by an agency ranking itself, mix B2C and B2B, and never show which agencies have a published B2B SaaS result. This guide scores eight agencies on one rubric using only what each agency publishes: named SaaS clients, quantified AI-search results, APAC market coverage, AI engines tracked, price and terms.
Key takeaways
- Only three of the eight publish a named B2B SaaS client with a quantified AI-search result: DerivateX (Truein, Gumlet), Exalt Growth (GoCodes) and Synscribe (Cyber Sierra, Bluente).
- Three publish a price: DerivateX from $5,000 a month plus placement budget, Canlah AI from $1,500 a month per AI platform and Kaliber from S$2,750 a month. Geolix.ai publishes its model (a base fee plus a performance fee) but not the amounts.
- If your buyers use Chinese AI engines, Geolix.ai is the only agency here that tracks DeepSeek, Doubao, Qwen and Tencent Yuanbao alongside ChatGPT and Gemini.
- Many APAC SaaS companies sell mainly to the US. Pick on proof in your buyers’ market, not on the agency’s address.
- DerivateX is based in Bengaluru and publishes India and GCC results, but does not run local-language or Chinese-engine programs.
How were these Asia-Pacific GEO agencies chosen and scored?
Each agency was scored on what it publishes, not on what it says in a sales call. The shortlist started with the agencies on page one of Google and in AI answers for “best GEO agencies in APAC”, “GEO agency Singapore”, “GEO agency Australia” and related searches, plus the agencies those lists name. Agencies were kept if they have an office in Asia-Pacific and publish a GEO, AEO or AI search service.
Every agency, including DerivateX, was scored out of 30 on the same five criteria: AI search depth, published B2B SaaS proof (counted twice), APAC market coverage, pricing transparency and B2B SaaS specialization. Anything not found on the agency’s own pages is marked “not published” rather than estimated.
| Agency | AI search depth | SaaS proof (x2) | APAC coverage | Pricing | SaaS focus | Total /30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DerivateX | 5 | 10 | 3 | 5 | 5 | 28 |
| Exalt Growth | 5 | 10 | 2 | 1 | 5 | 23 |
| Synscribe | 5 | 8 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 22 |
| Geolix.ai | 5 | 6 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 21 |
| Canlah AI | 4 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 18 |
| Kaliber | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 1 | 17 |
| StudioHawk | 3 | 6 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 16 |
| Mercury Technology Solution | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 13 |
What makes GEO different in Asia-Pacific?
Asia-Pacific SaaS companies face more AI engines, more languages and more export markets than a typical US SaaS team. That changes what a GEO agency has to do and which proof matters.
Chinese AI engines are a separate channel
Buyers in mainland China and parts of the Chinese-speaking market use DeepSeek, Doubao, Qwen and Tencent Yuanbao, not only ChatGPT and Gemini. Geolix.ai tracks all nine of these engines and states that “best tool” answers for software are assembled from G2, Reddit, Hacker News, Zhihu and CSDN. An agency that only tracks ChatGPT will miss this market entirely.
Most APAC SaaS sells to the US first
Many funded SaaS companies in Australia, Singapore and India get most of their revenue from North America. For them, the agency’s address matters less than its proof with US buyers. Exalt Growth’s strongest GEO case is GoCodes, a US company, and DerivateX’s client list includes US-facing SaaS alongside India and GCC work.
Each market has its own sources
AI engines lean on local publications and review sites. StudioHawk built links on .com.au and .co.uk domains and localised media lists for Australia, New Zealand and the UK for JobAdder, and Mercury runs English and Traditional Chinese as two workstreams for Hong Kong. Ask which local sources an agency will target for each market you sell into.
A lot of APAC GEO proof is not from SaaS
Several Singapore and Hong Kong agencies publish GEO results for restaurants, insurers, education brands or IT services firms. That work is real, but B2B SaaS buyers ask different questions, such as comparisons, alternatives, integrations and pricing. Check whether the case study is a SaaS company before you compare prices.
1. DerivateX: Best Overall for $5M to $50M ARR B2B SaaS
DerivateX is a full-service SEO and GEO agency for B2B SaaS, based in Bengaluru. It was founded in January 2024 by Apoorv Sharma and Shivanshi Bhatia and works with software companies between $5M and $50M ARR, from Series A to Series C. One team covers Google, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, and reports against pipeline rather than rankings.
For APAC SaaS, the fit is real but specific. DerivateX is active in India and the GCC, its primary market is North America, and it works with Gumlet, a Singapore-headquartered video hosting and DRM platform. It suits India and Southeast Asia based SaaS that sell to the US, India or the Middle East in English. It does not run Chinese-engine or local-language programs.
Services
- Prompt and query mapping, technical SEO (schema, site architecture, crawlability and llms.txt) and commercial pages.
- Comparison and alternatives pages, third-party placements and digital PR, and entity consistency work.
- Citation tracking across Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, with competitor displacement tracking from the $8,000 tier.
- Pipeline attribution, from AI-referred sessions to demo requests and, on the top tier, closed revenue.
Published B2B SaaS proof
- Truein (GEO pilot since June 2026, covering the US, India and the GCC): truein.com became the #1 most-cited source in GCC AI answers, up from #2, and held #1 in India across all tracked buyer questions from 3 August to 20 October 2026. Truein became the #2 brand in GCC AI answers, with visibility up from about 20% to about 35%.
- Truein’s AI-referred visitors booked demos at 4.2x, 7.2x and 3.0x the organic rate in months one, two and three, supported by 15 articles placed on construction, HR and automation publications.
- Gumlet (Singapore-headquartered video hosting): close to 20% of inbound revenue traced to AI discovery, per Divyesh Patel, co-founder and CMO (TechBehemoths, December 2025). Its first ChatGPT-referred demo came about 12 weeks after kickoff.
Pricing and terms
DerivateX pricing has three published tiers. Rank and Get Found is $5,000 a month plus a $1,000 to $1,200 off-site placement budget, so about $6,000 to $6,200 all in. Own Your Category is $8,000 plus $1,500 to $2,000, and Market Leader is $12,000 plus $2,000 to $3,000. The first two start as a 90-day pilot with no lock-in after it; Market Leader has a 6-month minimum. A $3,500 two-week diagnostic is available if you are not ready for a retainer.
Pros
- Named SaaS results in India and the GCC, plus a Singapore-headquartered client with a revenue outcome.
- Published pricing, including the placement budget most agencies leave out.
- One team for Google and AI search, reported against pipeline.
- 90-day pilot with no lock-in after it on the first two tiers.
Cons
- No Chinese AI engines or local-language programs.
- Not a fit under $5M ARR or for teams expecting results inside 90 days.
- Does not take B2C or ecommerce work.
Best for: B2B SaaS between $5M and $50M ARR, especially India and Southeast Asia based teams selling to the US, India or the GCC, that want Google and AI search run by one team and tied to pipeline.
Skip it if: You need Chinese, Japanese or Bahasa content, or your buyers mainly use DeepSeek or Doubao.

2. Exalt Growth: Best Founder-Led Specialist for Funded Australian and Global SaaS
Exalt Growth is an SEO and GEO consultancy that works only with funded B2B SaaS companies, from Seed to Series C. It is run by founder Jack Boutchard with a capped client roster, so every client works with him directly. Its site lists Sydney among its locations and describes the business as remote. It names Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode as the engines it works on.
Published B2B SaaS proof
- GoCodes (asset tracking SaaS, engaged September 2025): Exalt reports GoCodes became the most-cited asset tracking vendor in AI answers within six months, its average position when named rose from 6+ to 2.2, and Copilot AI impressions grew 573% from January to July 2026. The founder reported 164% new customer sales growth in H1 2026 versus H1 2025.
- Dovetail and Cascade: 10x organic growth and 878% traffic growth at Dovetail, and 670% traffic growth at Cascade. Exalt’s own company profile notes these came from Jack Boutchard’s in-house SEO roles, not agency engagements.
Pricing and terms
Exalt Growth does not publish prices. It offers ongoing SEO and GEO retainers, projects such as LLM visibility audits and entity architecture builds, and month-to-month advisory.
Pros
- The deepest published GEO case study for a SaaS client on this list after DerivateX.
- B2B SaaS only, with direct founder involvement on every account.
- Tracks Copilot impressions through Bing Webmaster Tools, a channel many agencies skip.
Cons
- No published pricing.
- A capped roster means limited availability.
- Its headline GEO client is US-based; no published Asian-market GEO case.
Best for: Funded SaaS companies in Australia or elsewhere, selling mainly to the US, that want a senior specialist rather than an agency team.
Skip it if: You need a published price or local-language work in Asia.
3. Synscribe: Best for Series A to B SaaS Selling Across Southeast Asia
Synscribe is a Singapore-based SEO, AEO and GEO agency for B2B SaaS that pairs agency work with its own software. It runs SEO and GEO with proprietary tools for keyword research, content scoring and AI citation tracking, and covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. Its Southeast Asia page lists Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines, and it also runs “agentic discovery” programs for developer platforms.
Published B2B SaaS proof
- Cyber Sierra: +414% AI-referred traffic and +2,900,000 impressions.

- Hyperbound: +370% clicks and +446% impressions; Kondo: +181% clicks.
Pricing and terms
Synscribe does not publish prices; its FAQ says pricing depends on business size, goals and scope. Its stated ideal client has annual revenue between $200K and $50M, and its Southeast Asia page says it mainly partners with Series A to Series B B2B SaaS.
Pros
- Named SaaS clients with AI-referred traffic numbers.
- Covers six Southeast Asian markets.
- Strong technical and programmatic SEO capability, plus agentic discovery for developer tools.

Best for: Series A to B SaaS in Singapore and Southeast Asia that want fast technical and programmatic execution for AI search.
Skip it if: You need a fixed published price or pipeline-level reporting from day one.
4. Geolix.ai: Best for Cross-Border SaaS That Need Chinese AI Engines
Geolix.ai is a Singapore-headquartered cross-border GEO agency for brands going global, with its own monitoring platform across nine AI engines. It tracks English engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode) and Chinese engines (DeepSeek, Doubao, Qwen and Tencent Yuanbao) the same way, and its founding team includes academics from Nanyang Technological University.
Published B2B SaaS proof
Geolix.ai’s about page reports that an unnamed B2B SaaS platform went from 0% to 50% in one month and ranked #1 in 78% of DeepSeek answers. The client is not named. On its SaaS page, the work covers G2 and Capterra listings, Reddit and Hacker News threads, and Chinese-language content for platforms such as Zhihu and CSDN.
Pricing and terms
Geolix.ai publishes its pricing model but not a number: a monthly base fee plus a performance fee that applies only to KPI scenarios that hit their target, quoted by target market and scenario. It recommends a three-month first term.
Pros
- The only agency here that tracks Chinese AI engines.
- Performance fee only when a scenario hits its target.
- SaaS playbook covers G2, Reddit, Hacker News, Zhihu and CSDN.
Cons

5. Canlah AI: Best for a Low-Cost, Per-Platform GEO Retainer in Singapore
Canlah AI is a Singapore GEO agency that prices its done-for-you service per AI platform. Its team, led by CEO Haoyang Pang, works in English and Chinese, and every plan carries a written target: AI names you at least 30% more often than at your starting baseline, re-tested monthly.
Published proof
Canlah’s cases page shows diagnostics rather than finished SaaS outcomes: an anonymised restaurant, an education franchise entering Malaysia, a US marketing software company and AI apps. There is no published B2B SaaS result yet.
Pricing and terms
The Canlah pricing page lists Starter from $1,500 a month (ChatGPT, 4 buyer questions) and Growth from $3,000 a month (adds Google AI Overviews, 8 questions), with a customised Full plan that adds AI Mode and Gemini across 16 questions. A paid DeepAudit diagnostic tests 30 buyer questions on ChatGPT and Gemini. Off-site execution is billed separately.
Pros
- Clear, low published entry price.
- A written, measurable target on every plan.
- English and Chinese delivery.
Cons
- No published B2B SaaS outcome.
- Entry plan covers only ChatGPT and four buyer questions.
- Off-site work costs extra.
Best for: Early-stage SaaS in Singapore or Malaysia that want to test GEO on a few buyer questions before committing a large budget.
Skip it if: You need proof from a SaaS company like yours.
6. Kaliber: Best for Early-Stage SaaS That Want GEO With Paid Media
Kaliber is a Singapore performance marketing agency, founded by former Googler Robert Lai, that sells GEO as an add-on to its paid media retainers. Its best fit is businesses spending S$5,000 to S$100,000 a month on paid media, including B2B SaaS at Series A or earlier. Its GEO tiers cover ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.
Published proof
systemsGo, a Singapore-registered B2B IT services company selling in six markets (Japan, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea and Australia), grew from 3 to 1,293 keywords in the top 20 and from 251 to 836 monthly clicks between October 2024 and February 2026, with AI Overview citations confirmed in Singapore, Korea and the UK. It is a B2B IT services firm, not a SaaS company.
Pricing and terms
The Kaliber pricing page lists fixed monthly GEO fees: GEO Starter S$2,750 (two GEO-optimised articles a month), GEO Growth S$5,000 (competitor tracking, citation analysis and a monthly report) and GEO Authority S$10,000. Paid media retainers start at S$4,800 a month, with no commission on spend.
Pros
- Transparent fixed fees in Singapore dollars.

- Sylvane (HVAC retailer): LLM brand mentions up 621% and AI referral revenue up 145% month on month. This is StudioHawk’s published GEO result, from a retailer rather than a SaaS company.

How do the 8 best GEO agencies in Asia-Pacific compare?
DerivateX, Exalt Growth and Synscribe publish named B2B SaaS clients with AI-search results, Geolix.ai publishes an anonymised SaaS result, and the other four publish proof from non-SaaS clients or Google SEO only. The table puts the published facts side by side.
| Agency | Base | APAC markets covered | AI engines named | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DerivateX | Bengaluru | India and GCC active; North America primary | Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude | $5,000/mo + $1,000 to $1,200 placement |
| Exalt Growth | Remote, Sydney listed | Australia and global (GoCodes is US) | Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Mode | Not published |
| Synscribe | Singapore | Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines | ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, AI Overviews | Not published |
| Geolix.ai | Singapore | Singapore, Hong Kong, Greater China, cross-border | 9 engines incl. DeepSeek, Doubao, Qwen, Yuanbao | Base + performance fee (quoted) |
| Canlah AI | Singapore | Singapore, Malaysia; English and Chinese | ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini | $1,500/mo per platform |
| Kaliber | Singapore | Singapore and multi-market APAC | ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews | S$2,750/mo |
| StudioHawk | Melbourne | Australia, New Zealand, UK | AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini | Not published |
| Mercury Technology Solution | Hong Kong | Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore; English and Chinese | ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews | Not published |
How much does a GEO agency in Asia-Pacific cost?
Published GEO prices in Asia-Pacific start at about $1,500 a month and reach $12,000 a month plus placement budget. Canlah AI starts from $1,500 a month per AI platform, Kaliber from S$2,750 a month, and DerivateX from $5,000 a month plus a $1,000 to $1,200 placement budget (about $6,000 to $6,200 all in). Geolix.ai publishes a base-plus-performance model without amounts, and Exalt Growth, Synscribe, StudioHawk and Mercury quote after a call. For a wider view, see which GEO agencies disclose pricing.
| Agency | Published price | Commitment |
|---|---|---|
| DerivateX | $5,000, $8,000 or $12,000/mo plus placement budget; $3,500 diagnostic | 90-day pilot, then no lock-in (Market Leader: 6-month minimum) |
| Canlah AI | Starter from $1,500/mo, Growth from $3,000/mo, Full custom | Monthly re-test against a written target |
| Kaliber | GEO S$2,750, S$5,000 or S$10,000/mo | Fixed monthly fee |
| Geolix.ai | Base fee plus performance fee, quoted | Three-month first term recommended |
| Exalt Growth, Synscribe, StudioHawk, Mercury | Not published | StudioHawk: no lock-in contracts; others not published |
Compare like with like. A $1,500 plan that covers one AI engine and four buyer questions is a different product from a retainer that covers six engines, Google SEO, content and placements. Ask for the full 90-day cost in writing, including any off-site or placement budget.
How do you choose a GEO agency in Asia-Pacific?
Start with where your buyers are and which AI engines they use, then match proof and budget. An Indian SaaS selling to the US, a Singapore SaaS selling across Southeast Asia and a Hong Kong brand entering China need different partners.
| If your main need is… | Look first at |
|---|---|
| Google and AI search as one program, tied to pipeline, at $5M to $50M ARR | DerivateX |
| A senior founder-led specialist for a funded SaaS selling to the US | Exalt Growth |
| Fast technical and programmatic execution across Southeast Asia | Synscribe |
| Visibility in DeepSeek, Doubao, Qwen or Yuanbao | Geolix.ai |
| A low-cost test on a few buyer questions in Singapore | Canlah AI |
| GEO content alongside Google and Meta ads | Kaliber |
| SEO and digital PR across Australia, New Zealand and the UK | StudioHawk |
| English and Chinese content for Hong Kong or Japan | Mercury Technology Solution |
What should you ask on every discovery call?
- Which B2B SaaS clients have you worked with, and what changed in AI answers, not only in Google?
- Which markets and languages will you cover, and which AI engines will you track in each one?
- Which local publications, review sites and communities do AI engines cite for my category in each market?
- How will you tie AI-referred visits to demos, trials or pipeline?
- What is the full cost of the first 90 days, including placement or off-site budgets, and what are the exit terms?
For vertical guides, see the best AI search agencies for healthtech SaaS and the best GEO agencies for video and media SaaS.
Which other agencies were considered?
Several APAC agencies publish a GEO service but did not make the eight because they publish no B2B SaaS proof or treat GEO as part of a much broader offer.
- YCP Interactive runs B2B GEO across Southeast Asia and Japan with native-language teams, but it specializes in manufacturing, chemicals, industrial services and healthcare, and publishes no SaaS case.
- First Page offers GEO in Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong as part of a large full-service digital agency, with much of its AI search work aimed at local businesses.
Asia-Pacific GEO Agencies for B2B SaaS FAQs
What is the best GEO agency in Asia-Pacific for B2B SaaS?
DerivateX scored highest on this list for $5M to $50M ARR B2B SaaS, with published SaaS results in India and the GCC and published pricing from $5,000 a month. Exalt Growth is the strongest founder-led specialist for funded SaaS selling to the US, and Synscribe is the pick for Series A to B SaaS across Southeast Asia.
Which GEO agency in Singapore works with B2B SaaS?
Synscribe, Geolix.ai, Canlah AI and Kaliber are all based in Singapore. Synscribe publishes the most named B2B SaaS results, Geolix.ai covers Chinese AI engines, Canlah AI has the lowest published entry price, and Kaliber pairs GEO with paid media.
How much does GEO cost in Asia-Pacific?
Published prices on this list start at $1,500 a month per AI platform at Canlah AI, S$2,750 a month at Kaliber and $5,000 a month plus a $1,000 to $1,200 placement budget at DerivateX. Geolix.ai uses a base fee plus a performance fee, and four agencies quote after a call.
Do I need an agency that tracks DeepSeek and Doubao?
Only if your buyers are in mainland China or Chinese-speaking markets. Geolix.ai is the only agency here that tracks DeepSeek, Doubao, Qwen and Tencent Yuanbao. SaaS companies selling to the US, India or the GCC mainly need ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude.
Should an Australian or Asian SaaS company hire a local GEO agency?
Not necessarily. Hire for proof in your buyers’ market. If most of your revenue comes from the US, an agency with US SaaS results matters more than a local office. Local agencies help most when you need local languages, local media and local review sites.
How long does GEO take to show results?
Published examples vary. Mercury says first citation movement typically shows in 6 to 10 weeks, Synscribe reports Bluente went from zero to over 1,000 monthly AI visits in 90 days, and Truein, on a DerivateX GEO pilot since June 2026, was the #1 most-cited source in GCC AI answers across tracked buyer questions from 3 August to 20 October 2026. DerivateX treats 90 days as the minimum test period.
Why is DerivateX ranked first on a list DerivateX published?
DerivateX is the publisher of this guide and scored itself on the same rubric as every other agency, with every score shown. It ranks first because it publishes named SaaS results and full pricing. Its limits are listed too: no Chinese-engine or local-language work, and a primary focus on North America, India and the GCC.
The Bottom Line
The right GEO agency in Asia-Pacific is the one with proof in the market your buyers are in. For $5M to $50M ARR B2B SaaS that want Google and AI search run as one program and tied to pipeline, DerivateX. For a founder-led specialist, Exalt Growth. For Southeast Asia, Synscribe. For Chinese AI engines, Geolix.ai. For a low-cost test, Canlah AI. For GEO alongside paid media, Kaliber. For ANZ SEO and PR at scale, StudioHawk. For Hong Kong and Japan, Mercury. Whichever you shortlist, get the markets, engines, 90-day cost and exit terms in writing before you sign.
