Question 1

How much does an SEO retainer cost in India?

Accepted Answer

A credible SEO retainer runs ₹15,000–₹1,00,000+ per month, depending on competition and how much content is published. The price should map to a written list of monthly deliverables.

Question 2

What should a monthly SEO package include?

Accepted Answer

Every month it should cover technical health (indexing, speed, broken links), keyword and content work, on-page optimisation, and off-page authority like links and Google Business Profile.

Question 3

How long does SEO take to show results?

Accepted Answer

Expect little movement for the first two to three months, then compounding growth. Anyone promising #1 rankings in 30 days is selling risk, not SEO.

Question 4

How do I know my SEO agency is doing real work?

Accepted Answer

Insist on reporting straight from Google Search Console — impressions, clicks, and average position — not a proprietary 'SEO score' you cannot verify.
