Why the range is so wide.
This is our reading of it, not a published rule.
- What the month contains. One company's month is a report. Another's is fixes, new pages and links. Ask for the list.
- Priced by keyword. Several packages are priced by how many keywords they track. A number of keywords says little about how much work is done on your site, and one company's own guide warns against it.
- Competition. Ranking for a service every competitor wants takes more work than ranking for one few have noticed.
- Language. Pages in Hindi or another language are separate pages with their own research and writing.
- The state of your site. A site that has never been fixed needs more in the first months than one that has.
- Provider type. Freelancers, small agencies and large agencies price in different bands, and differ in who you deal with and what happens when they are away.
What ours includes.
- From ₹25,000 a month, plus GST where it applies.
- A fixed monthly fee agreed on a free call, month to month, plus GST where it applies.
- A specialist you can call, with a team behind them doing the legwork.
- A full check of your site, then fixes to titles, descriptions, redirects, sitemaps and structured data, and links between your own pages. Each is made after you say yes.
- A monthly report in plain English of what changed and what it did.
Anything beyond that scope, such as a second language or a large content plan, is quoted on the call before any work starts. More on the service: SEO services in India.
Questions.
How much does SEO cost in India?
Indian companies publish SEO prices from about ₹5,000 to ₹5,00,000 a month. For a small business, most published packages sit between ₹8,000 and ₹50,000. Ours starts at ₹25,000 a month plus GST where it applies, a fixed fee agreed on your free call.
Why do SEO prices in India vary so much?
Because the month can hold very different things: a report, or the work itself. Competition, the number of pages, the languages and the state of your site all change the work. Ask any company for a list of what is done each month.
Is cheap SEO worth it?
It can be for a local business with little competition and a sound site. Be careful when a low price is by keyword count and comes with no list of work, because then you may be paying for a report.
How long does SEO take to work?
Fixes to the site itself usually show in Google within weeks. Ranking for a competitive search takes longer, often several months. Nobody can promise a position.
Is GST included in SEO prices?
Published prices often say so, and one in our table states 18% GST on top. Ours are stated before GST, and your quote shows it line by line.
