SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Get found by the customers already searching for you.

Most small businesses don't need to rank #1 nationally for a broad, competitive term. They need to show up when someone nearby searches "[service] near me" or "[service] in [neighborhood], Bengaluru" — and that's a different, more winnable game. That's what we focus on.

What's included

Local SEO

Google Business Profile setup and full optimization — categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A
Local citation building across Justdial, Sulekha, and Bengaluru-relevant directories
NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency audit and correction across the web
Review generation strategy — steady, natural, and compliant with Google's guidelines
Location and neighborhood-specific landing content where relevant (e.g., serving multiple areas of Bengaluru)

On-page SEO

Keyword research based on what your actual customers search, not just what sounds good
Title tags and meta descriptions rewritten for every page, optimized for click-through, not just rankings
Heading structure (H1–H3) cleaned up and aligned to search intent
Image compression, file naming, and alt text
Internal linking structure so Google (and users) can actually navigate your site logically
Schema markup: LocalBusiness, Service, and FAQPage schema, as relevant per page

Technical SEO

Site speed and Core Web Vitals review
Mobile-friendliness audit
Broken link and redirect cleanup
XML sitemap and robots.txt setup
Indexing and crawlability check via Google Search Console

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does SEO take to show results?

Local SEO changes (like Google Business Profile optimization) can show movement within 2–4 weeks. On-page and content SEO typically takes 6–12 weeks to show meaningful ranking improvement, and compounds from there.

What's the difference between SEO and Local SEO?

SEO is the broad practice of ranking in search results. Local SEO is a specific subset focused on ranking for searches with local intent — "near me," neighborhood names, and Google Maps results — which matters most for a business serving customers in a specific area like Bengaluru.

Do I need a new website for SEO to work?

Not always. If your current site is reasonably fast and mobile-friendly, we can often do meaningful SEO work on it as-is. If it has fundamental technical issues, we'll tell you honestly if a rebuild would get you better results faster.

Can you guarantee a #1 Google ranking?

No legitimate SEO agency can guarantee a specific ranking — Google's algorithm isn't something anyone outside Google fully controls, and anyone promising a guaranteed #1 spot is not being straight with you. What we can commit to is a clear process, transparent reporting, and consistent improvement over time.
