SEO Services in India — Professional SEO by an Independent Expert, Not an Agency
I am Vijay Bhabhor — a freelance SEO expert based in Surat, India, with 15+ years of hands-on experience helping businesses rank higher on Google. I work directly with ecommerce brands, local businesses, SaaS companies, and service providers across India, USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. No agency layers, no junior team members — every strategy is built and executed by me personally.
Whether you need a one-time SEO audit to diagnose what is holding you back, monthly SEO management to build consistent organic growth, or strategic consulting to guide your in-house team — I offer clear, measurable, and honest SEO work that connects directly to your business outcomes.
What I Offer
SEO Services — Full-Stack Search Engine Optimisation
Every engagement starts with understanding your business, competitive landscape, and what your customers actually search for. From there, I build a plan that covers the technical foundation, content strategy, local visibility, and authority building needed to grow your organic traffic and leads.
Technical SEO
Site speed and Core Web Vitals optimisation, mobile usability, crawl error fixes, schema markup implementation, URL structure cleanup, XML sitemap configuration, and robots.txt audit. If Google cannot crawl and index your site correctly, nothing else matters.
On-Page SEO
Title tags, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, keyword placement, content structure, and internal linking — tuned for both search engines and the humans reading your pages. Every page targets specific buyer intent, not just keyword volume.
Local SEO
Google Business Profile optimisation, NAP consistency, local citations, Map Pack visibility, and city-specific landing pages. Essential for any business with a physical location or city-level service area. This is my core specialisation in Surat and across Gujarat.
Content SEO
Keyword research mapped to customer journey stages, content gap analysis, blog strategy, landing page creation, and content refresh for underperforming pages. I build content clusters that establish topical authority and drive organic traffic that converts into enquiries.
Link Building & Authority
Backlink profile audits, high-quality outreach and guest contributions, local and industry citation building, competitor gap analysis, and unlinked brand mention recovery. White-hat only — no PBNs, no spam, no shortcuts that create long-term risk.
Analytics & Reporting
GA4 event and conversion tracking setup, Google Search Console monitoring, Looker Studio dashboards, and monthly reporting with written interpretation. Every report answers: what moved, why, and what we are doing next. Not vanity metrics — business metrics.
Specialisations
SEO Services by Industry & Vertical
SEO is not one-size-fits-all. An ecommerce store with 5,000 SKUs needs a completely different approach than a coaching institute targeting local students. I have built dedicated pages covering my core verticals in depth:
Ecommerce SEO
Product page optimisation, collection structure, faceted navigation fixes, product schema markup, and organic traffic scaling for Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and custom stores. My deepest SEO specialisation alongside ecommerce Google Ads.
Local SEO (Surat & Gujarat)
Google Maps visibility, GBP optimisation, “near me” ranking, local citations, and neighbourhood-level landing pages for coaching institutes, clinics, boutiques, salons, and service businesses. 50+ Surat businesses helped.
Travel SEO
Destination page SEO, package keyword targeting, seasonal content calendars, and authority building for tour operators, travel agencies, hotels, resorts, and travel bloggers across India.
B2B, SaaS & IT Companies
Intent-based content strategy for long sales cycles, keyword targeting across funnel stages (awareness to decision), thought leadership content, and conversion tracking that connects organic leads to pipeline. Ideal for tech companies and professional services.
If you also need paid search alongside SEO, I offer Google Ads services — including ecommerce-specific campaign management across Search, Shopping, and Performance Max. Many clients run SEO and Google Ads together for maximum coverage.
How I Work
SEO Engagement Process — From Audit to Growth
Audit & Strategy
I review your website’s technical health, content quality, backlink profile, competitor landscape, and keyword opportunities. You get a prioritised 90-day roadmap — not a 50-page report that collects dust. Every recommendation is tied to a specific business outcome: rankings, traffic, leads, or revenue.
Implementation & Optimisation
Depending on your setup, I either guide your developers and writers with clear briefs and technical specifications, or directly handle technical fixes, on-page changes, content creation, and link building. Changes are introduced methodically — not wholesale rewrites that confuse Google.
Reporting & Scaling
Each month you see keyword positions, organic traffic trends, and leads or revenue generated from search. We discuss what is working, what to adjust, and when to push into new keywords or markets. Once core terms are stable, we expand into adjacent topic clusters and new geographies.

FAQ
SEO Services in India — Common Questions
How much do SEO services cost in India?
My pricing starts at ₹25,000 for a one-time SEO audit. Monthly SEO management begins at ₹35,000 per month and scales based on website size, competition level, and scope. SEO consulting is available at ₹5,000 per hour. International clients can be billed in USD or EUR. These are service fees — separate from any tools or ad spend.
How long does SEO take to show results?
For low-competition local keywords, early movement is often visible within 4-6 weeks. For competitive national or ecommerce keywords, meaningful ranking improvements typically take 3-6 months of consistent work. SEO is a compounding investment — the effort you put in today continues to deliver returns for months and years ahead.
Do you work with businesses outside India?
Yes. I work with businesses in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and the Middle East. All SEO work — audits, strategy, implementation, and reporting — is delivered remotely via Google Meet, email, WhatsApp, and Looker Studio dashboards. Time zone differences have never been a practical issue.
What is included in your monthly SEO services?
Monthly SEO includes technical fixes and maintenance, keyword research, on-page optimisation, content planning and creation, link building, Google Search Console monitoring, GA4 conversion tracking, and a monthly report with written interpretation of what moved and why. Every month includes a strategy check-in to discuss priorities and adjust the plan.
Do you offer ecommerce SEO?
Yes — ecommerce SEO is one of my core specialisations. I work with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and custom stores on product page optimisation, collection structure, faceted navigation fixes, product schema, and organic traffic scaling. See my dedicated ecommerce SEO page for full details.
Can you help with local SEO for businesses in specific cities?
Absolutely. Local SEO is my strongest specialisation — particularly for businesses in Surat and Gujarat. I optimise Google Business Profiles, build local citations, create city-specific landing pages, and improve Map Pack visibility for coaching institutes, clinics, boutiques, salons, and service businesses.
Why should I hire a freelance SEO expert instead of an agency?
With a freelancer, you work directly with the person making decisions — no junior account managers, no communication layers, no template strategies applied across dozens of clients. I personally handle every audit, every optimisation, and every report. The tradeoff is capacity — I take limited clients to maintain quality and attention.
Do you also offer Google Ads management alongside SEO?
Yes. I am a certified Google Ads expert with 14+ years of PPC experience. Many businesses benefit from running SEO and Google Ads together — SEO builds long-term organic visibility while Google Ads captures immediate demand. I manage both channels and ensure they reinforce rather than cannibalise each other. See my Google Ads expert page for details.
Do you offer SEO training?
Yes — I offer both in-person and online SEO training for individuals and business teams in Surat. The course covers keyword research, on-page SEO, technical SEO, local SEO, content strategy, and analytics using real live projects. Details on my SEO training page.
