What happens when you hire Digi Arun

A defined 8-step workflow — no vague promises, no black-box tactics. Here's exactly what we do for your business from day one.

01
Local SEO audit

Full review of your Google Business Profile, website structure, citations across directories, current keyword rankings, and competitor gap analysis. We find every issue before spending a rupee on fixes.

Free with onboarding
02
Strategy & keyword map

Based on your niche, location, and competition level, we build a geo-specific keyword strategy — including "near me" queries, locality-specific terms, and long-tail service phrases your customers are actually searching.

03
Website & GBP optimisation

On-page optimization with local schema markup, location-specific meta tags, and page structure. Your Google Business Profile gets fully built out — categories, services, Q&A, weekly posts, and photo optimization.

04
Citations, links & reviews

NAP consistency across 30+ Indian directories (JustDial, IndiaMart, Sulekha, etc.), local link building via partnerships and outreach, and a review generation system so you steadily accumulate 5-star Google ratings.

05
Location page creation

If you serve multiple areas, we create dedicated, uniquely-written landing pages for each location — not duplicated copies — so you rank separately in Rohini, Laxmi Nagar, Haldwani, or wherever your customers are.

06
Competitor gap analysis

We track what your top 3 local competitors are ranking for, which directories they're listed on, and how many reviews they have — then systematically close the gap until you outrank them.

07
Review & reputation management

Automated review request messages via WhatsApp and SMS after each customer interaction. Professional responses to all reviews within 24 hours. Flagging and disputing fake negative reviews on your behalf.

08
Monthly reporting

A plain-language monthly report covering: Google Maps ranking positions, GBP call and direction clicks, website traffic from local searches, and top-performing keywords — with commentary on what changed and what's next.

Full transparency

Every service your local ranking needs

A complete local SEO stack — not a checklist you get billed per item, but a coordinated strategy where everything works together.

📍
Google Business Profile optimisation

Your GBP is your most powerful local ranking asset — and most businesses waste it. We build it out completely: choosing the right primary and secondary categories, writing keyword-rich service descriptions, uploading location-tagged photos, publishing regular GBP posts, and setting up the Q&A section to answer the questions your customers are actually asking before they call.

  • Primary & secondary category selection
  • Service area & attribute setup
  • Weekly GBP posts & photo uploads
  • Q&A optimisation
🗺️
Local keyword research & on-page SEO

We identify the exact phrases your nearby customers type — "mehndi artist in Shahdara," "AC repair near me Laxmi Nagar," "best ca firm in Delhi" — and optimise every page of your website around those terms. This includes meta titles, H1 structure, local schema markup, internal linking, and mobile speed improvements so Google sees your site as genuinely relevant to local searches.

  • Geo-specific keyword mapping
  • Local schema & structured data
  • Mobile & page speed optimisation
  • Internal link structure for local intent
📋
Citation building & NAP consistency

Inconsistent business information across directories is one of the most common and damaging local SEO issues. We audit your existing listings on JustDial, IndiaMart, Sulekha, Yelp, Bing Places, and 25+ other directories, correct every inconsistency, and build new high-quality citations. Your Name, Address, and Phone number will match perfectly everywhere Google checks.

  • Audit & fix existing listings
  • 30+ Indian & global directories
  • Ongoing consistency monitoring
  • Industry-specific directory submissions
Review generation & reputation management

Reviews directly impact both your Google Maps ranking and the conversion rate of customers who find you. We set up automated, WhatsApp-based review request flows triggered after each sale or service. Every review — positive or negative — gets a professionally written response within 24 hours, and fake negative reviews are flagged and disputed promptly on your behalf.

  • WhatsApp & SMS review request automation
  • 24-hour response management
  • Fake review dispute & flagging
  • Multi-platform (Google, JustDial, Facebook)
🔗
Local link building

Backlinks from locally relevant websites signal to Google that your business is a trusted part of your community. We identify and build links from neighbourhood business associations, local news websites, Delhi-specific directories, industry blogs, and complementary businesses in your area — steadily increasing your domain authority and local relevance without shortcuts that risk penalties.

  • Local business association outreach
  • Neighbourhood & city publication mentions
  • Complementary business partnerships
  • Industry-specific directory links
🎙️
Voice search & AI search optimisation

An increasing share of local searches in India happen via voice — on Google Assistant, Siri, and smart speakers. Voice queries are more conversational: "Where can I find a good dentist near Ashok Nagar?" We optimise your content structure, FAQ schema, and GBP to capture these natural-language queries, and ensure your business appears in Google's AI-powered local search answers and summaries.

  • Conversational keyword targeting
  • FAQ schema markup
  • Google AI overview optimisation
  • Structured data for voice results

Local SEO in India is different

Most generic SEO agencies apply a global playbook to Indian businesses. But ranking locally in Delhi, Haldwani, or any Indian city requires understanding platforms and user behaviours that simply don't exist in Western markets.

As a Delhi-based specialist, Digi Arun works with the full stack of Indian local discovery — not just Google, but every platform your nearby customers actually use to find and evaluate businesses.

  • 📱
    WhatsApp as a local inquiry channel
    Most Indian small business customers prefer WhatsApp to contact forms. We optimise your GBP's messaging feature and set up WhatsApp Business links across your listings so every local searcher can reach you instantly.
  • 🗣️
    Hindi & regional language keyword targeting
    A significant portion of local searches in India happen in Hindi or regional languages — particularly on mobile. We include transliterated and native-script keywords where relevant to capture this untapped traffic.
  • 📲
    Mobile-first local search behaviour
    India is overwhelmingly mobile-first. Your website, GBP, and all local touchpoints are optimised for fast mobile load times, click-to-call prominence, and Google Maps navigation triggers.
  • 🏷️
    Festival & seasonal local search patterns
    Indian local search has distinct peaks around Diwali, Navratri, wedding season, and regional festivals. We plan your GBP posts, promotions, and content calendar around these to capture high-intent seasonal demand.

A local SEO specialist vs. a large agency

Large agencies have account managers, sales teams, and standardised playbooks. Here's what that means in practice for a small business paying a monthly retainer.

Frequently asked questions

Real questions from small business owners before they hired us — with honest answers.

How much does local SEO cost in India?
Our plans start from ₹8,000/month for a single-location small business in a low-competition area. The Growth plan (most popular for Delhi businesses) is ₹15,000/month and includes local link building, competitor tracking, and location pages. Pricing scales with the number of locations and competition intensity in your niche.
How long does it take to see results?
Most businesses see measurable movement in Google Maps rankings within 60–90 days. Full results — consistent top-3 positions, steady increase in calls — typically take 4–6 months depending on competition. Local SEO is not an overnight fix, but once rankings are established, they hold without ongoing paid spend.
What if I don't have a physical storefront?
Service-area businesses — electricians, plumbers, tutors, home cleaners, event photographers — can rank very effectively in local SEO without a walk-in address. We optimise your Google Business Profile as a service-area business and target your specific service zones so the right customers find you.
Will I be locked into a long contract?
No long-term contracts are required to start. The first 3 months are month-to-month so you can evaluate results. Most clients continue because results speak for themselves — but the decision is always yours. We don't believe in contracts that trap businesses in underperforming relationships.
How do I know this is actually working?
Every month you receive a plain-language report showing: your Google Maps ranking positions for target keywords, GBP call and direction request counts, organic traffic volume from local searches, and which specific actions were taken that month. No vanity metrics, no fluffy dashboards — just the numbers that connect to customers walking in or calling.
Do you also do JustDial and IndiaMart optimisation?
Yes — this is something most generic SEO agencies skip entirely. We include JustDial listing optimisation in Growth and Authority plans, IndiaMart profile setup for B2B businesses, and consistent NAP information across Sulekha, Bing Places, and 25+ other Indian and global directories.
What if I already have some local SEO set up?
We start with a full audit regardless — and we frequently find significant issues even in "already optimised" setups: wrong GBP categories, inconsistent NAP across directories, missing schema markup, or competitor gaps that are simple to close once identified. The audit is free and comes with a written summary of what needs fixing.
Can you help with multiple locations?
Absolutely. Multi-location local SEO is covered under the Growth and Authority plans. Each location gets its own dedicated landing page, separate GBP profile optimisation, and location-specific keyword targeting so you rank independently in each service area rather than competing with yourself.
