SEO Consultant in India: How I Work, What It Costs and What You Get

An SEO consultant is different from an agency account manager or a freelancer who only builds links. The job has four parts:

• Diagnosis. Finding what is actually holding the site back: crawl and indexing problems, weak pages, the wrong keywords, missing trust signals or a slow site.
• Prioritisation. Deciding what to fix first based on likely impact on enquiries or sales, not on how long the audit list is.
• Execution or direction. Doing the work, or briefing your developer and writers precisely enough that they can.
• Measurement. Reporting on the things that matter: visibility for money keywords, organic enquiries and revenue.

1. A 30-minute call. I ask what you sell, who buys it, which searches you want to be found for and how enquiries currently reach you.
2. Access, not passwords. You add me to Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 as a user. Your accounts stay in your name.
3. Technical audit. I run the same nine-layer process published in our technical SEO audit checklist, from robots.txt and indexation through redirects, internal links, schema and Core Web Vitals.
4. Keyword-to-page map. Every important search gets one page responsible for it. This single step fixes a surprising number of sites where three pages compete for the same keyword.
5. A 90-day plan. A short, ordered list: what gets fixed this month, what gets written next, and what we measure.
6. Monthly reporting. What was done, what moved and what is next, in plain language.

SEO, ads and development in one pair of hands

A ranking problem is often a page-speed problem, and a weak ad account is often a landing-page problem. Because I also run Google Ads and Meta Ads and build WordPress sites, I can fix the whole path from search result to enquiry instead of handing you a list of recommendations for someone else.

Search data before opinions

Decisions start from your own Google Search Console data: which queries already bring impressions, which pages sit on page two, and where clicks are being lost. On this site, for example, Search Console showed that our technical SEO checklist was getting impressions for “technical SEO audit template”, so we added a template section to that page rather than writing a new one.

Honest about timelines

Technical fixes can show results in weeks. Competitive rankings usually take months. Anyone promising page one for a competitive term in thirty days is guessing.

Built for answer engines as well as Google

Buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews for recommendations. I structure pages so they are easy to understand and cite, as explained in our GEO guide.

SEO at Digital Marketing By OG starts from ₹8,000 a month for one website, as published on our SEO services page. The exact scope depends on the size of the site and how competitive your market is. For a broader view of the market, including why quotes vary so much, see SEO expert cost in India.

• Ask to see live work you can verify, not blurred screenshots.
• Ask who will actually do the work.
• Ask what they will do in the first 30 days and what you should see by day 90.
• Check that your accounts will remain in your name.
