About me
Hey, I'm Sridhar — SEO Freelancer in Bangalore with 7+ years of hands-on experience in Organic SEO, Local SEO, International SEO, AI SEO, AEO, and GEO. Since going freelance in 2019, I've helped 100+ clients across India and beyond get found on Google and generate real, qualified leads — without burning money on ads.
I didn't start out loving SEO. Back in 2017, I watched business owners spend ₹1,00,000/month on Google Ads while their organic potential sat completely untapped. That's when it clicked: most businesses don't need more marketing spend — they need smarter marketing.
I take on only 8–10 clients at a time — because I do depth, not volume. That's why 60% of my work comes from referrals and clients stay with me for 2–3+ years. When you work with me, you work directly with me — no account managers, no juniors, no templates.
"SEO isn't about tricking Google. It's about solving real customer problems and making Google notice."
What Works (And What Doesn't)
✅ What Works
- White-hat SEO strategies that last 3+ years
- Client-specific strategies — never templates
- Transparent reporting so you see exactly what's happening
- Consistent effort over 4–6 months beats shortcuts every time
❌ What Doesn't Work
- Agencies juggling 50+ clients (you get a junior who doesn't care)
- DIY SEO (usually results in penalties)
- Black-hat tactics (fast results, then crash and burn)
- Guaranteed #1 rankings (even Google can't guarantee that)
Who I Work Best With
- ✓ Startups that understand growth takes time
- ✓ E-commerce stores wanting product discovery
- ✓ Local service providers (doctors, salons, real estate)
- ✓ B2B / SaaS companies looking for enterprise clients
- ✓ Anyone tired of ad-dependent marketing
Why Bangalore Businesses MUST Invest in SEO in 2025
Right now, while you're reading this — your competitor's website is showing up on Google page 1, their phones are ringing with inquiries, and they're getting customers who don't even know you exist. Here's what the data says:
Why Most Businesses Don't Rank
- Reason 1 — They don't know about SEO: They think Google rankings are automatic or expensive. They're neither.
- Reason 2 — They hired the wrong agency: Agencies take 50% of revenue in fees and deliver generic strategies. You get a junior with 2 years experience managing your account.
- Reason 3 — They tried DIY and got penalized: Built sketchy backlinks, keyword stuffed, or violated Google guidelines. Now their site is shadowbanned.
- Reason 4 — They gave up too soon: Started SEO, saw no results in 30 days, and quit. SEO takes 90–120 days minimum. Most people give up after 60.
What's Possible with Proper SEO
Before: 50 organic visits/month, ₹2L revenue
After 6 months: 1,500 visits/month, ₹8L revenue
ROI: 400% increase
Before: 5 leads/month, heavy Facebook ads
After 4 months: 35 leads from "dentist near me"
No more ad spending
Before: Cold outreach and conferences
After 6 months: 40+ qualified leads/month organic
Now with Fortune 500 companies
Before: Competing on Magicbricks
After 5 months: #1 for "property in Whitefield"
10x more serious inquiries
The Cost of NOT Doing SEO
If you wait 6 more months: your competitors will rank even higher, you'll have lost thousands of potential customers, your ad costs will keep rising, and you'll pay MORE later to fix what could be simple now.
What I Can Do For You (By Industry)
🛒 E-Commerce SEO
For: Online stores — fashion, electronics, furniture, etc.Problem you're facing: Product pages aren't discoverable on Google, traffic through Google Product Listing Ads is expensive, competitors dominate your category keywords.
- Optimize every product page for search (title, description, images)
- Build category-level authority through internal linking
- Create comparison content ("Best [product] in Bangalore")
- Schema markup for product rich snippets (reviews, price, availability)
- Backlink building from authority sites in your niche
Results you'll see: 200–400% increase in organic product page traffic, higher average order value from organic customers (they research more), reduced customer acquisition cost.
🏥 Local Service Provider SEO
For: Doctors, dentists, salons, repair shops, beauty parlors, consultantsProblem you're facing: People search "dentist near me" but you don't show up in Google Maps. You rely on ads or walk-in traffic. GMB profile isn't optimized or missing reviews.
- Google My Business optimization (reviews, posts, photos, Q&A)
- Local keyword targeting ("best dermatologist in Indiranagar")
- Local citation building (Yelp, JustDial, Yellow Pages, etc.)
- NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency across the web
- Review acquisition and reputation management
Results you'll see: Show up in Google Maps "3-pack" (top 3 spots), 150–300% increase in "near me" inquiries, more calls and walk-ins from Google.
🏢 B2B & SaaS SEO
For: Software companies, consulting firms, B2B service providersProblem you're facing: You're doing cold outreach and LinkedIn selling (doesn't scale). Lead generation is expensive. Competitors are getting 100+ inbound leads from organic search.
- Technical SEO for complex websites
- Thought leadership content strategy (blog posts, whitepapers, case studies)
- Enterprise keyword targeting (high-intent, decision-maker searches)
- Authority building through industry publications
- Link building from complementary / partner sites
Results you'll see: 50–100 qualified leads per month, sales team gets inbound instead of doing cold outreach, shorter sales cycles (they've researched you before calling).
🍽️ Restaurant & Hospitality SEO
For: Restaurants, cafes, hotels, event venues, travel businessesProblem you're facing: People find you on Zomato/Swiggy (you pay 25–30% commission). Google Maps ranking is weak. Website traffic doesn't exist — all traffic goes to aggregator sites.
- Google Business Profile optimization (hours, menus, photos, bookings)
- Local keyword targeting ("best biryani in Koramangala")
- Food photography and content optimization
- Delivery service optimization (direct ordering, not just aggregators)
- Review management and engagement
Results you'll see: 20–30% of orders come directly (not through Zomato), save ₹50,000–₹1,00,000/month in aggregator commissions, higher profit margins.
How I Work: My Proven 5-Step SEO Framework
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all SEO. Every business is different. Here's exactly how I customize your strategy:
Free SEO Audit & Strategy Call (Week 1)
You book a 30-minute call. I do a complete technical SEO audit of your website, analyze your top 3 competitors, and identify keyword opportunities specific to your business. You get a free SEO audit report (usually costs ₹5,000), honest assessment of your rankings vs competitors, 3–5 quick wins you can implement immediately, and a clear picture of realistic timeline for your business.
Keyword Research & Content Planning (Week 2–3)
I research 100+ potential keywords for your business, analyze search volume, difficulty, and commercial intent, identify "quick wins" (low competition, high traffic), and create a 12-month content roadmap. You get a master keyword list prioritized by ROI, content calendar for 12 months, estimated timeline for each keyword to rank, and monthly deliverables and milestones.
On-Page SEO & Technical Fixes (Week 4–8)
Optimize meta tags for every important page, improve content structure (H1, H2, H3 headers), fix technical issues (site speed, mobile optimization, crawl errors), implement schema markup, and improve internal linking. Result: faster website, mobile-friendly optimization, structured data for rich snippets, and SEO-optimized meta tags.
Off-Page SEO & Link Building (Month 2–3+)
I identify high-authority websites in your industry, build relationships and acquire backlinks, create local citations (Yelp, JustDial, directories), optimize Google My Business, and monitor brand mentions. You get 10–20 high-quality backlinks from relevant sites, improved domain authority, and brand mention monitoring.
Monthly Monitoring & Continuous Optimization (Ongoing)
Monthly SEO reports (not just ranks — traffic, leads, ROI), Google Analytics dashboard, ranking reports, traffic analytics, ROI tracking, and monthly 15-minute check-in calls. SEO isn't "set and forget." Google updates monthly. Your competitors are optimizing. We stay ahead.
Timeline & Expectations
Setup, keyword research, on-page optimization. Pages optimized. Rankings unlikely yet — Google needs time to re-index.
Technical fixes complete, backlink building starts. Some keywords moving into top 20. Traffic: 5–10% increase.

Results accelerate. 10–20 keywords on page 1. Traffic: 40–50% increase.
