About

We built the truth layer for AI visibility.

Zicy exists because brands are being described by AI every day, and most have no idea what it's saying. We measure it, help fix it, and prove the fix worked.

01 Where Zicy came from

An agency story, scaled into AI.

Before the pandemic, founder Alvin Koay started Growth.pro, a full SEO agency that grew into a trusted partner for international brands. But he couldn't shake what he'd long observed: too many small businesses tied down by contracts, misled with jargon and handed reports that looked impressive yet delivered no real outcomes. Agencies maximised their retainers while the clients stayed invisible online.

So instead of building more human-heavy agency layers, Alvin and his team cloned Growth.pro's ethos (empathy, trust, accountability, transparency and integrity) into AI itself. The result is Zicy: a measurement and remediation platform that scales agency-grade AI visibility to anyone, from solopreneur to enterprise, with the same values the consultancy has always stood for.

02 Zicy & Growth.pro

The platform, and the consultancy that built it.

Zicy is the platform. Growth.pro is the consultancy that built it and uses it to run done-for-you programmes for enterprise brands. The platform is open to everyone; the managed service is selective. The frameworks behind that service, the AI Visibility Operating System, the PAVA Framework and the AI Citation Enablement practice, are Growth.pro's.

03 APAC-native, globally capable

Built in Penang. Covering every engine, every language.

Built in Penang, covering every engine and every language. The multi-language, multi-market coverage that US-built tools treat as an afterthought is our starting point.

Growth Pro Sdn. Bhd. operates under Malaysia Digital (MD) status, Malaysia's national designation for digital-economy companies.

04 What we believe

Three commitments.

Truth over noise.

Knowing whether AI is right about you matters more than knowing you were mentioned.

Earned, not gamed.

Visibility that lasts comes from genuine expertise made easy for AI to find, not from working against the system.

Proof, not vanity.

The work has to connect to real demand, or it doesn't count.
