If you are someone who has just started a long-awaited business, this is your sign to look for the best search engine optimization (SEO) out there.
Oh, the first step would be to web scrape. I recommend searching for something like ‘Top SEO Companies’ or, to be specific, ‘Top SEO agencies in Bangladesh’.
Did you see the results? Exactly.
I get it. It’s usual to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of companies in this saturated market.
This is where I barge into rescue, offering a hand to boost your sales. To offer suggestions, I did some digging and appraised several SEO agencies operating in the country and chose the best of them all based on multiple parameters.
Parameters include but are not limited to pricing, Return on Investment (ROI), client approach and reviews, and track record of exceptional works.
I’ve also chosen which company has the strong features that align with your needs. To know about all these, you must go through the full article and pick the one that fits the shoe.
Pro-tip: Go through the point in the description of each company if you’re in a hurry!
How Did I Evaluate My Results?
This is August 2024. I’ve gone through 253 SEO companies and their services in Bangladesh to filter out the best from the rest. Now that’s a lot in numbers. I can’t say the same about the quality.
A plethora of factors determine the quality of such service providers. I prioritized general factors, additional factors, exceptional factors, pricing, and customer scores among the list of factors.
General Features
SEO agencies are true to their unique strategies, but general features are where they all align. These are the basic qualities that you should look for, for example, they must know the market, and be involved in various types of SEOs (local, international, etc.).
Their works are not limited to SEO optimization but extend to Google Ads, social media ads, etc. Oh, and they must offer you a free audit. It could look like this:
The list will go on according to the agency you choose. Let’s say, it has 30% weight on the recommendations and reviews.
Additional Features
Some SEO agencies are ready to offer real-time site crawls. Some offer social media marketing, intent-based analysis, competitive analysis, benchmarking, custom dashboards for each client, or features like PPP.
These agencies will score higher in our reviews. Makes 30% of the scoring weight.
Pricing
It is almost impossible to encounter an SEO firm that will publicize its pricing. I was able to get my hands on a few of them and the rest of them would confirm after discussing criteria. It is to be noted that low cost doesn’t forever equal high bargain or value.
While choosing the best SEO agencies may not guarantee the lowest budget, I still considered pricing transparency, audits, and non-negotiable setup costs.
Customer feedback
SEO isn’t static. It’s a dynamic field where search algorithms and best practices change frequently.
Here’s what gives other agencies the edge – Reviews from previous clients further validate the efficiency of a company. Platforms like TrustPilot are a good start for a sneak peek of the client’s POV.
Try not to rely on the official reviews of the agencies posted on their website. Nobody posts their oopsies – unless exceptions.
Google My Business, Yelp, relevant forums, or SEO review sites are at your rescue.
The Agencies I Picked for My Analysis
We’ll talk about 7 agencies. You must list your wants and match them to each company’s services. The moment where you guys click, you know where to find them.
1. Microters
Microters is one of the fastest-growing digital marketing agencies in Bangladesh. It was founded by MD Nazmul Hasan in 2023.
I kept them at the top of our list for a valid reason: research and innovation.
To adapt to the frequent changes of this digital era, providing a service like SEO requires continuous research and innovative solutions.
Microters is a world apart when it comes to these aspects., not only as service providers but as contributors to the local industry as well.
Although not among the oldest, Microters is certainly one of the fastest-growing agencies with a team of experts with years of experience.
Each service they offer is managed by dedicated departments, each with its own specialized team.
For instance, their video content services are handled by "Videoters," while "Pluginic" manages custom plugin design and creation.
Both are sister concerns of Microters, alongside several other specialized units, ensuring consistent, high-quality service for your business needs.
Last but not least, they recently launched a SaaS product called AI Buster, a complete blogging tool that has quickly gained popularity within the local community.
Microters is now focused on further developing this product and expanding its reach to an international audience.
Here is a list of their core services:
SEO Services
SEO Backlinks
VIDEO EDITING
AI & WRITING SERVICES
DEVELOPMENT
Although they have successfully expanded their business across Bangladesh, their on-site presence remains limited both locally and internationally.
To learn more, follow the link (link to the official website) to explore their track record and highlighted projects.
Finally, I would say that while they may not yet be the best in town, Microters is undoubtedly one of the agencies worth investing in.
From our observation:
They are currently serving more than 64 countries globally, and most had only positive things to say about Microters. The drawback would be not being strong enough in all of the services they offer.
| Microters | Typical agency |
| One-stop solution promoting comprehensive services | Focused services |
| Client-centric approach | Packaged offers |
| Has client reviews and recommendations | Client track record is not static |
| Collaborative and supportive working environment | Can vary, which can impact the quality of the content |
2. MonsterClaw
And the name didn’t disappoint. It is actually a monster’s claw to grab all the organic traffic as much as you possibly can.
That makes MonsterClaw an award-winning company, which was founded in 2007. Even though they started with the initial focus on affiliate marketing and management, fate had written a one-stop solution for them.
MonsterClaw’s services:
What made them stand out:
According to our scoring weight, this one boosted the rank into our 7 because of continuous positive feedback from the customers. I picked up one of our favorite ones from the crowd –
“Extremely good experience working with Rifat, Polas, and the MonsterClaw LLC team, they did in one week what my previous developer couldn’t do in a month.’ said Frederick Lansky from PointsPanda LLC.
And I could list at least a hundred similar compliments from and outside their website.
We’d give it to their data management, quality and execution control, and optimization skills to bag this many awards nationally and internationally. There are visible differences between MonsterClaw and typical agencies, I could only put a few:
| MonsterClaw focuses on B2B business with 250K+ published content, 3000+ ranked keywords, and a 300K+ affiliate database. | Typical agencies offer a broad range of services, which might also mean less specialization in each sector. |
| Results are visible, there are proven track records of having 5400% growth. | Variable track records, thus not liable. |
| Data-driven, and client-focused. | Personalized services are more prominent |
However, I must say, these guys have a price tag attached to their services. I mean, whichever service you pick, you’ll have to pay a hefty amount in return. Oftentimes, people can’t afford them
If you have the budget and a high ticket offer with precise marketing opportunities, I suggest you grab that MonsterClaw.
3. Bizcope
Bizcope hits close to home – they have worked with a few of the nation’s well-known businesses. We’ll pop the secret, they have worked with ‘Rokomari’, one of the biggest online platforms for booksellers in Bangladesh. I’ve done a little research on why they work with a specific group of businesses.
I got my answers on their website. They aim to popularize the website to the highest extent.
So, if you knew what ‘Rokomari’ was without me having to explain it, they are doing a great job.
Services offered by Bizcope:
Factors that made it stand out in our eyes:
That’s a lot of bullets, I know. That makes it the all-you-need package. From what I’ve learned, Bizcope too, as a business, struggled its way out to have the audience that they have now.
They must have first-hand experience to popularize businesses then. Their team is still small with only 18 members on board, yet they still manage to bag Logitech and Payoneer to work with them providing ‘quality over quantity’ once again.
If you are someone with a small business looking for organic traffic and ways to reach the target audience, this is where you put an end to your search.
The only drawback that might bother potential clients is their pricing, but they have been proving quality over quantity for quite a long time now. That’s what makes them different from other agencies.
4. VISER X
VISER X is a well-known digital marketing agency that works with most of the local business tycoons in Bangladesh. That very reason birthed the curiosity in our mind – What could VISER X
Offer that is so appreciated amongst local businesses?
"VISER X impressed us with their adaptable, tailored strategies across SEO, digital marketing, and reputation management.", said Tarek Reaz Khan, Managing Director & CEO, of Padma Bank Limited.
From the client reviews, they value delivering within the promised time, which is something that most of the agencies lack. Their services are listed below:
VISER X stands out from the crowd for providing extra services other than the traditional ones – very few agencies offer creative content and design. Their expertise extends beyond search engines to app store optimization (ASO) and social media optimization (SMO).
To be exact:
All of these are clearly stated in their mission and vision statements. They aim to empower businesses through innovative digital strategies, to redefine digital possibilities, and that’s what they have been doing for years.
We’re sure those websites are what keep them ahead of the game, because, hey, they have been featured in almost every newspaper and channel, you name it.
5. ASL BPO
Finally, I found a company that’s ISO 9001 certified, phew!
I heard a lot about their skeptical online presence because let’s be honest – you will judge somebody based on what they did for their website. That’s gonna ultimately reflect what they are going to do on your website. But that worked the opposite.
Even though I thought the color palette could have been better, some of the services that they are providing made up for it.
What did I like so much? Let’s see:
ASL BPO is also ISO 27001 certified and it serves a variety of industries apart from e-commerce. I have seen only a handful of companies that are involved in legal, tourism, HR, logistics, and entertainment and I picked the best one of them all.
I loved their transparency regarding audits in the discussion meeting.
The only drawback I can think of is their slight lack of presentation – if you are okay with that, ASL BPO is right at your service.
SEO Audit
I love a company that’s quick and transparent in their work. When I say ‘SEO Audit’, you already know they must work for website optimization and they must be the best at it.
That is what inspired us to dive deeper into their business and find out what made them popular amongst the businesses within such a short time.
What I found out is nothing out of the box, they are just extremely talented to live up to their name.
Such expert support is a boon if you are running a business but don’t know where you went wrong.
Thanks to these small packages, you don’t have to spend thousands just to fix a minor issue. I have noticed few to no agencies doing that for their clients so you can call it a niche service and that helped SEO Audit to be on today’s list.
6. Notionhive
I saved the best for the last. It’s nothing like you imagined – just way, way better.
The moment I pressed enter typing ‘Notionhive’, I was not ready for the upcoming result. The site is a rare view for a local site, it’s absolutely pleasant, futuristic, and smooth. This worked as a plus point for us, the clients, who were looking for an agency to hand our websites over.
From ed-tech to fintech, from BRAC to Chaldal and Miyako, Notionhive has navigated diverse SEO landscapes. But why? I’ve come to the following conclusions:
I am almost fangirling, and you know who else is? Meet Fred Hersch, Former Chief Medical Officer and Head of Product, at Telenor Health. This is what he had to say –
"Notionhive has been a great design partner for us in Bangladesh. We have enjoyed working with the team on a number of projects, and across multiple dimensions of design. From day one we have been impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, their creative eye, and most importantly the quality of the work."
You can find tons of other client reviews on and off-site and most of them were convincing enough. With a team of 50+ members, they are titans of SEO services as they take care of not only ROI, backlinks, and stuff but content and UX/UX as well.
This got them some of the most prestigious achievements like Clutch awards from time to time.
Final Words
While everyone has their preferences and it is best to consult with agencies before jumping to conclusions, I made a typical analysis of how it should work:
If you are on a budget, go for Bizcope. If you have issues with bugs or penalties, consult an SEO audit. They will get your work done without you having to purchase an entire package.
MonsterClaw works great for any website for their tools, but they can be expensive at times.
This is where Microters comes to the rescue. You can get your desired position on SERP at your budget. However, it all finally boils down to you. Assess all issues you are having and choose the one that works for you – this article will work as the cherry on top.
