Who you're hiring

SEO is what I've done most of my career.

When you bring me in for SEO, you're hiring someone who has spent the core of his career on search — not a generalist who dabbles in it.

My SEO track record

Depth you can put to work.

  • Most recent role: Leading SEO Manager
  • Top-level SEO consultant for 2 companies
  • 200+ client projects across multiple industries
  • My own website ranks on these exact tactics
  • Founder of Search Extension
Why it matters for you

A practitioner, not a reseller.

For the core years of my career I focused on just two things — search engine optimisation and paid advertising. By a wide margin, most of my working hours have gone into SEO, and I still do the work hands-on every day. The same playbook that ranks my own site and my clients' sites is exactly what I'll run on yours.

Why most SEO falls flat

Most "SEO services" are just task lists.

A few meta tags, a few directory submissions, monthly "ranking reports" for keywords nobody searches. That's not SEO. Here's what is.

What you usually get

Activity. No outcomes.

  • 20 directory submissions a month, zero ranking impact
  • "Optimized" meta tags for keywords with no search volume
  • Backlinks from PBNs or low-quality sites — risky
  • Technical issues left unfixed for months
  • Reports that show "rankings improved" for irrelevant terms
  • No clue what changed when Google rolls out an update
What I deliver

Rankings tied to revenue.

  • Technical foundation fixed before anything else
  • Keyword strategy mapped to actual buyer intent
  • Quality backlinks from real sites, real outreach
  • Content built around topic authority, not keyword stuffing
  • Reports tied to conversions and pipeline impact
  • Algorithm updates pre-empted, not reacted to
SEO services I offer

From audit to rankings — the whole stack.

Each module can be standalone or part of a retainer. Click into any to see what's included.

Full SEO Audit

2-week deep dive. Technical, on-page, off-page, content, competitor — everything mapped, scored, prioritised.
Starts here
+

Every engagement starts with the audit. No execution until I know exactly what's broken and what needs to ship first. Output is a deck (40-60 slides) with prioritised actions.

  • Crawl analysis (Screaming Frog)
  • Indexing audit & index bloat diagnosis
  • Core Web Vitals scoring
  • On-page audit (template-level + page-level)
  • Backlink profile analysis
  • Content gap analysis
  • Competitor benchmarking (3-5 competitors)
  • 90-day prioritised execution roadmap

Technical SEO

The foundation everyone skips. Crawlability, indexing, schema, Core Web Vitals, JavaScript SEO.
Foundation
+

You can't out-content a broken technical foundation. I fix it first. Then everything else compounds.

  • Robots.txt, sitemap, canonical setup
  • Crawl budget optimization
  • Core Web Vitals fixes (LCP, INP, CLS)
  • JavaScript SEO & rendering fixes
  • Schema markup — full implementation
  • Internal linking architecture
  • Redirect strategy & cleanup
  • Log file analysis for crawl behaviour

On-Page & Content SEO

Topic clusters, content depth, semantic SEO, E-E-A-T. Built around intent, not keyword density.
Strategy
+

On-page is where most agencies waste time. They optimize for the wrong query. I start with intent mapping, build topic clusters, and write for both readers and machines.

  • Intent-based keyword research
  • Topic cluster & pillar page strategy
  • Content briefs for writers
  • Title, meta, header optimization
  • Featured snippet targeting
  • E-E-A-T signals & author bios
  • Internal linking strategy per cluster
  • Content refresh strategy for old posts

Off-Page & Link Building

Quality backlinks. Real outreach. No PBNs, no link farms, no black-hat shortcuts.
Authority
+

Link building is where SEO gets dangerous if done wrong. My approach: fewer links from better sites, with anchor text spread across branded, partial-match, and natural variations.

  • Competitor backlink gap analysis
  • Guest posting on real industry sites
  • Digital PR campaigns
  • HARO & journalist outreach
  • Broken link building
  • Niche edits & resource page links
  • Citation building (for local SEO)
  • Monthly backlink reports with metrics

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

Map pack rankings, review strategy, local citations, location-specific landing pages.
Local-first
+

For service-area businesses — clinics, agencies, consultants, restaurants — local SEO is the highest-ROI channel. Most of it lives in Google Business Profile, not your website.

  • GBP setup & full optimization
  • Categories, services, attributes setup
  • Location-specific landing pages
  • Local citation building & cleanup
  • Review collection & response strategy
  • Local schema implementation
  • Multi-location architecture
  • Map pack ranking optimization

AEO & GEO — AI Search Optimization

The new SEO layer most agencies haven't caught up with. Get cited in AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity.
New
+

AI Overviews are already capturing 10-25% of search clicks. ChatGPT and Perplexity citation traffic is real and growing. The SEOs who understand this in 2026 are the ones charging premium fees.

  • Content restructuring for AI citation
  • Entity-first writing & entity SEO
  • llms.txt implementation
  • Original research & quotable statistics
  • FAQ schema for direct answer extraction
  • Tracking AI traffic sources
  • ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini citation analysis
  • AI Overview source optimization

Note: SEO is a long-game discipline. Most measurable wins show up 3-6 months in. I won't take an engagement under 4 months because it doesn't serve you.

"

Three SEO agencies told us our site was "fine" and just needed more backlinks. Shanu found 47 technical issues in week one — including a robots.txt rule that was blocking our highest-converting page. Three months later, we're on page 1 for our main commercial query.

FAQ

SEO engagements — your questions.

How much does SEO cost?

Two monthly packages: ₹25,000 per month for 20 target keywords, and ₹50,000 per month for 50 keywords. Both cover technical, on-page, off-page and content work, with monthly reporting.

Is there a minimum engagement?

Yes. SEO is a long-game discipline — most measurable wins show up 3–6 months in — so I don't take an engagement under 4 months. Retainers typically run 6–12 months.

What happens in the first 90 days?

Weeks 1–2: full audit and a prioritised 90-day roadmap. Weeks 3–6: technical fixes — crawlability, Core Web Vitals, schema, internal links. Weeks 7–12: content clusters and a 25-day backlink sprint. From month 4: a steady monthly content and backlink cadence with quarterly strategy reviews.

Does the work start with an audit?

Yes — weeks 1–2 are a full audit: technical SEO, on-page, backlink profile, content gaps and 3–5 competitors, with prioritised actions, a 90-day roadmap and a walkthrough call. It's part of the package, not a separate purchase.

What's included every month?

On the 20-keyword package: ongoing technical fixes, on-page optimisation of 4 pages, 4–6 content briefs and 8–12 quality backlinks per month, plus monthly ranking and traffic reports and direct WhatsApp access. The 50-keyword package doubles the monthly output — 8 pages, 8–12 briefs and 16–24 backlinks.

Can you get us cited in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT?

I work on it — content restructuring for AI citation, entity SEO and schema layering, llms.txt and AI traffic tracking. Tell me on the call and we'll scope it into your package.

Want to actually rank — not just "do SEO"?
