Is this affordable for small businesses?

Yes. We run a local-business program starting at ₹25k/month covering GBP, reviews, content and light paid. We're selective about engagements at this tier to maintain quality.

Do you help with Zomato / Swiggy / Urban Company listings?

Yes — aggregator listing optimisation is part of the local playbook for relevant categories (F&B, home services, wellness).

How fast do local SEO results show up?

Map pack impressions lift visibly in 30–45 days with consistent GBP + review work. Organic site traffic follows over 3–6 months.

What breaks

The patterns we see across Local Businesses.

01
Invisible in the map pack
Buyers search 'best Italian restaurant near me' — and your competitors appear, not you.
02
No review engine
Reviews trickle in at 1–2 per month, always from happy customers who aren't reminded to leave them.
03
WhatsApp funnels that leak
Most enquiries come over WhatsApp and get lost between the front desk and the owner.
