Our story

Born from a family business that got burned

Sayothix didn't start as an agency. It started as a problem we couldn't solve: finding a digital agency that actually delivered.

Lesson learned

Amounts rounded for illustration

01

The problem

Ten years. Countless agencies. RM20,000 gone.

Our family business, Selka Equipments, hired one web design company, then another. Then an SEO agency, then another. Every one promised results. Every one delivered excuses, beautiful proposals and monthly reports full of vanity numbers. Not one new customer came from our website.

02

The turning point

"Learn it yourself."

After the last failed agency, my eldest brother sat me down. If nobody outside could do this properly for us, we'd learn to do it ourselves. I stopped looking for someone to hire, and started becoming that person.

03

The work

Two years learning everything.

Web design, WordPress, technical SEO, local SEO, Google Ads, Google Business Profile, page speed, content and conversion. Every course and every guide I could find, tested on our own business first. Slowly, we started ranking. Then getting leads. Then getting customers, from our own website. Finally.

04

2021

Then Sayothix was born.

Other JB business owners started asking who was doing our website and SEO. Word travels fast in a community that had all been burned by the same kind of agencies. So we made it official, built on one promise: never treat another business owner the way those agencies treated us.

Meet the founder

You work with the person who does the work

My name is Thiru, and I run every project at Sayothix personally. Not a junior designer. Not a subcontracted freelancer. Not an account manager who forwards your messages to someone else.

I started Sayothix after watching too many JB business owners get burned the way we did: cookie-cutter websites, SEO packages that ranked nothing, and Google Ads that burned through budgets.

So I built the opposite. Boutique, direct and accountable. It's not built to serve thousands of clients, and it's not supposed to be.

What we're here to do

Two commitments behind everything we do

Our mission

Help every JB business get found and get chosen on Google.

Not just traffic or rankings. Real customers who call, WhatsApp and buy, from search, Maps and AI.

Our vision

To be the most trusted independent digital agency in Southern Malaysia.

Trusted because we tell the truth, do the work ourselves and only keep clients who are getting results.

How we work

Six things we refuse to compromise

Not values on a wall. These are the rules behind every project, every decision and every difficult conversation.

◎

Customers, not rankings

Ranking #1 means nothing if nobody calls. Everything we do points to one thing: more real customers.

⚿

You own everything

Website, ad account, Google Business Profile, hosting and domain, all in your name. Leave any time and take it all with you.

⛨

Honest work over easy work

No fake reviews, no black-hat links, no cookie-cutter templates. If it puts your business at risk, we won't do it.

✆

Direct communication

WhatsApp us and you get a reply in hours. No ticket queues, no "let me check with the team".

◆

Focus beats breadth

We only do what drives revenue on Google: websites, SEO, AI SEO, Google Ads and Maps. No social media fluff.

↻

Month-to-month, always

No 12-month lock-ins and no cancellation penalties. We earn our place every 30 days, and we like it that way.
