How long does SEO take to show results?
Technical fixes can move things within weeks — speed, indexing, pages that were
not being crawled. Ranking for competitive terms takes three to six months on a site
without existing authority, longer in crowded markets like Delhi or Mumbai. Anyone
quoting faster is either guessing or buying links that will cost you later.
Can you guarantee a position on Google?
No, and neither can anyone else. Google does not sell positions and does not tell
anybody how the ranking works in enough detail to promise an outcome. What we can
promise is a site that loads fast, is structured properly, and gives search engines
no reason to overlook it.
Do you work with businesses outside Chandigarh?
Yes. We are based in Chandigarh and work with clients across India. Most of the work
happens remotely with calls when they help. Being local matters for local SEO
strategy, not for where the work is done.
What happens after I fill in the form?
It reaches a person, and you get a reply within one working day — written after
looking at your site, not pasted from a template. If we are not the right fit, that
is what the reply says. No sequence, no chasing.
Do you handle ads and social as well as SEO?
Yes, but not automatically. Most businesses do not need all of it at once, and
spreading a small budget across four channels is how it gets wasted. We will say
which to start with.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. Retainers are monthly. If it is not working you can stop — a contract that
traps an unhappy client only delays the conversation and costs us the referral.
Are you a web development company or a web designing company?
Both, under one roof, which is worth explaining because agencies often split the two.
Web development is the code and the build; web designing is the layout and visual
design. Whether you searched for a web development company, a website development
company, a web designing company, or web developers in Chandigarh, you are looking at
the same team — the people who design the site also build it, so nothing gets
lost translating one person’s file into another person’s code.
How much does a website cost from a web development company in Chandigarh?
Our own web development company in Chandigarh
pricing runs roughly ₹25,000 to ₹1.5 lakh depending on the site
— a five-page business site sits at the lower end, an ecommerce build
on WooCommerce or Shopify at the higher end. We quote after looking at what
you actually need, not before.
Do you build ecommerce websites?
Yes, on Shopify or WooCommerce depending on the catalogue size and what you
need to integrate — payment gateways, inventory, shipping. An ecommerce website development project is scoped and
quoted separately from a standard business site because the checkout and
product pages carry more weight.
How long does it take to build a website?
A standard business site typically takes four to six weeks from the first
call to launch. An ecommerce build or anything with custom integrations
takes longer, and we will give you a real timeline once we know the scope
rather than a number that sounds good on a call.
Do I own the website, domain and hosting after it is built?
Yes, all of it — code, domain, hosting account. Ask this of any
web development company in Chandigarh before
signing anything; if any of it stays with the agency, the price you paid is
a deposit on a subscription you cannot leave.
Can you redesign an outdated website instead of building a new one?
Often, yes. A site that is structurally sound but looks dated or loads
slowly is usually a redesign, not a rebuild — cheaper and faster, and
we will say so rather than quoting you for a full rebuild by default.
Do you build mobile-responsive websites?
Every site we build is responsive by default — most of the traffic any
website designing company builds for arrives on
a phone, so a site that only works on a laptop is a site that fails most of
its visitors.
What platforms do you build on — WordPress, Shopify, or custom code?
Whichever fits the job. WordPress for content-heavy sites, Shopify or
WooCommerce for stores, and custom code when a template genuinely cannot do
what the business needs. We will say which one fits before quoting, not push
the platform we prefer building on.
What does an SEO company in Chandigarh actually do every month?
A real SEO company in Chandigarh retainer covers
technical fixes, content built around what people search, local signals like
your Google Business Profile, and a monthly call showing what moved and why
— not a PDF of impressions that arrives after the fact.
How much does SEO cost in Chandigarh?
Our Starter retainer is ₹25,000 a month for local businesses and
single locations; Growth is ₹45,000 a month for businesses competing
across a city or region. Multi-location or ecommerce SEO is scoped and
quoted after we look at the site.
Do you offer local SEO to rank on Google Maps?
Yes — Google Business Profile optimisation, local citations and the
on-page signals that decide whether you appear when someone nearby searches.
Local SEO is usually the fastest-moving part of
an SEO retainer because the competition is narrower than it is nationally.
Can you do SEO for an ecommerce store?
Yes, and it is a different job from SEO for a service business —
product and category pages carry the weight, site speed with hundreds of
images matters more, and structured data on products is worth doing
properly. We scope ecommerce SEO separately for
that reason.
Do you offer a one-time SEO audit without a monthly retainer?
Yes. A technical audit lists what is actually wrong — speed, indexing,
structure — without committing you to an ongoing retainer. Some
businesses fix the list themselves; others come back for the retainer once
they see what is involved.
What is the difference between SEO and Google Ads?
SEO is slower and compounds — three to six months to move, then it
keeps working without a monthly spend on clicks. Google
Ads is immediate and stops the day you stop paying. Most businesses
need one to start, not both, and we will say which.
Do you work with startups, or only established businesses?
Both. A startup usually needs a website and a Google Business Profile before
anything else; an established business with an existing site usually needs
an audit first. The starting point is different, not whether we take the
work.
Who are the web developers actually working on my project?
A named team, not a rotating pool of freelancers — our web developers in Chandigarh work in-house, and our
founder K.S. Chandel, in IT since 1995, is still involved in the technical
decisions.
Is there a dedicated point of contact for my project?
Yes, one person who knows your account rather than a different name on every
call. For Custom-scope projects that person is named at the start, before
any work begins.
Can I speak to the founder directly?
Yes. K.S. Chandel founded Apensia in 2015 after twenty years in IT and still
takes calls on technical decisions — you do not need to ask three
times to reach someone who actually understands the work.
Do you run Google Ads and Meta ad campaigns?
Yes — Google Search, Performance Max and Meta campaigns, with
conversion tracking set up properly so you know what an enquiry actually
cost, not just how many people saw the ad.
Do you manage Instagram and Facebook pages?
Yes, aimed at enquiries in the inbox rather than a follower count. We will
tell you honestly if social media is not where your next customer is coming
from before taking a retainer for it.
Do you help grow or monetise a YouTube channel?
Yes — titles, thumbnails and descriptions built for search, plus the
subscriber and watch-hour thresholds YouTube requires for monetisation. This
is closer to SEO than to social media, and we treat it that way.
Do you offer link building or digital PR?
Yes, the disclosed, earned kind — sponsored placements marked
rel="sponsored", digital PR, and citations from directories that genuinely
list businesses like yours. We do not sell private blog network links or
bulk followed links; both get penalised and the risk lands on your domain,
not ours.
Do you work with businesses in Mohali and Panchkula, not just Chandigarh?
Yes — we are based in Chandigarh and the Tricity (Mohali, Panchkula,
Zirakpur) is covered in the same depth, down to individual sectors, because
local search genuinely works at that level.
Do you build websites for clinics, real estate agents, or restaurants?
Yes, and each is a different job — a clinic needs appointment
enquiries and local visibility, a restaurant needs direct bookings over
aggregator commission, real estate needs listings that stay current and load
fast despite heavy images. We scope by what the business actually needs, not
a one-size template.
Do you serve clients outside Punjab, like Delhi or Mumbai?
Yes. We are based in Chandigarh and work with clients across roughly 200
cities in India, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad
— national campaigns are a different job from local ones, and we will
say which your business needs.
Do you take on international clients outside India?
Yes, for businesses selling into India from abroad and Indian businesses
selling internationally — hreflang and different search behaviour make
it a different job from a domestic campaign, and we scope it accordingly.
How do I know you are a genuine company and not a freelancer working alone?
Check us the same way you would check any agency — our Clutch and GoodFirms
profiles list our team size and pricing range, our Google and JustDial
reviews are public, and our founder is named and reachable. Ten years and
500-plus projects is not something one freelancer accumulates working alone.
What happens if I am not happy with the work?
Retainers are monthly with no lock-in contract — if it is not working,
you leave. For website builds, revisions are part of the process before
final delivery; the goal is to catch a mismatch early, not argue about it
after the invoice.
Do you require full payment upfront?
No. Website projects are usually staged — a deposit to start, the
balance on delivery. Retainers are billed monthly, in advance of that
month's work, not the whole engagement upfront.
How do I get started?
Fill in the form or call 81468 55589. You will hear from a person within one
working day, after they have actually looked at your site or business
— not a templated reply asking for a call to explain what a proposal
is.
Four platforms, four different jobs
The same post on all four is why most business accounts go quiet after three months. What works on LinkedIn dies on Instagram, and the reverse.
YouTube and video
Titles and thumbnails that earn the click, descriptions written for search, and channel structure so one video leads to the next.
- Titles and thumbnails tested, not guessed
- Video pages that rank in Google, not only YouTube
- Structure aimed at watch time and subscribers
Talk about YouTubeInstagram
Reels and posts built around what your customers actually want to see. Aimed at enquiries in the inbox rather than a follower number nobody spends.
- Short-form video with a reason to watch
- A grid that looks like one brand
- Measured by messages, not likes
Talk about InstagramLinkedIn
For B2B, where the buyer is a person with a job title and a budget. Founder posting usually outperforms the company page, and we will say so.
- Founder and executive posting
- Content a procurement team can forward
- Inbound enquiries rather than cold outreach
Talk about LinkedInFacebook
Still where most local customers are, particularly outside the metros. Page, groups, and the reviews that turn up next to your name in search.
- Page kept current, not abandoned
- Local groups and community reach
- Reviews, which affect local search directly
Talk about FacebookSocial media is the one we most often talk people out of. If you have a hundred visitors a month and no enquiry form worth the name, posting three times a week fixes nothing. The website and search usually come first, and we will say so before taking a social retainer.
