IDK how the market is on Malaysia. The best way to find out is by putting yourself on the shoes of the client... Act like a client and try to find this services on Google or popular sites on your region... The ads that you see is from people paying to get exposure... people pay money to get results.

Get to know the competition.
See how often they appear on searches, and see if they are still appearing weeks after. Why weeks after? If the ads dont drive results people will stop paying.

Contact this sites, fill their forms or get in touch by phone, see how they market their products, see what they offer, then see how much you can charge based on that... this way you get skills from people selling. You need this skills because as a designer you also have to be a seller. Yep and customer service etc...

Use all Free listing sites on your region.
Present yourself as an agency purely based online.
