Technical fixes, content that answers real searches, and the local signals that decide whether you appear at all. Three to six months, and we say so up front.
Most agencies describe SEO in language designed to be hard to check. In practice it is these.
Speed, crawlability, structure. The fastest wins live here — sometimes within weeks — and they are the least glamorous part of the job.
Pages that answer what your customers actually type. Not "SEO articles" — genuinely useful pages that happen to be findable.
Other sites referencing yours. Earned slowly by being worth referencing, or bought quickly in ways that create a problem later.
On the third one, plainly. Buying links is still the fastest way to move rankings and still the fastest way to lose them. Any agency quoting first-page results in thirty days is doing it, whether the proposal says so or not — and the penalty lands on your domain, not theirs. Why the cheap end is dangerous, in full.
Judging every part on one blanket period is how good work gets cancelled at month two.
| Work | First signal | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Technical fixes | 2–6 weeks | Pages indexed, speed scores, crawl errors falling |
| Local SEO | 4–8 weeks | Map pack position and calls from the Business Profile |
| Content | 3–6 months per piece | Whether individual pages bring enquiries |
| Competitive terms | 3–6 months | Impressions in Search Console — they rise before positions do |
That last row is the most useful thing here. Impressions climb before position does. If they are rising at month three while rankings look flat, the work is landing and you are about to see it.
You will get a real range and an honest read on whether SEO is even your bottleneck. About half the time it is not.
Local SEO for a single-location business runs ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 a month. Competitive national campaigns are ₹30,000 to ₹60,000. Ecommerce and enterprise start around ₹60,000. Below ₹10,000 a month there are not enough hours in the budget to do the work, which is why those packages are usually automated link building.
Technical fixes can move rankings within weeks. Competitive terms take three to six months on a site without existing authority, and longer in crowded markets like Delhi, Mumbai or Bangalore. Any agency quoting first-page results in thirty days is either guessing or buying links.
No, and neither can anyone else. Google does not sell positions and does not disclose enough about ranking to promise an outcome. What we promise is a site that loads fast, is structured properly, and gives search engines no reason to overlook it.
No. Private blog networks and bulk followed links are named directly in Google’s link spam policy, the penalty lands on your domain rather than ours, and recovery costs more than the campaign ever saved. We earn links through digital PR and disclose any paid placement with rel=sponsored.
No. Retainers are monthly. Six and twelve month lock-ins are common in this market because SEO takes time to show results, but a monthly arrangement puts the pressure where it belongs.
Send the URL. We will say what is holding it back and roughly how long it would take.

Two fields are required. The rest just makes the reply better.
Nobody hesitates over four form fields. They hesitate because they expect three calls from numbers they do not recognise. Here is exactly what happens instead.
Your enquiry lands in front of someone who does this work, the moment you send it.
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, no calls from numbers you do not recognise. If you go quiet, we leave it there.
