Frequently Asked Questions
How much does local SEO cost in Bangalore?
Local SEO packages start at ₹7,999/month. This covers Google Business Profile optimisation, basic citation building, and monthly reporting. Multi-location businesses, or highly competitive neighbourhoods like Koramangala, Indiranagar, or HSR Layout, typically need ₹15,000–₹30,000/month for faster, more complete results.
How long does it take to rank in the Google Maps 3-pack?
Most Bangalore businesses in low-to-medium competition areas see local pack movement within 60–90 days of a full GBP optimisation and citation build. Highly competitive categories in dense areas can take 4–6 months.
Do I need a physical address to rank locally, or can I use a service-area business setup?
Both work, but they rank differently. An address-based listing generally performs better for “near me” searches in your immediate neighbourhood. A service-area setup suits businesses serving a wider radius without walk-in customers. We help you choose based on your business model.
How many Google reviews do I need to compete?
In most Bangalore verticals, 30+ reviews at 4.5★+ puts you competitive; 50+ at 4.8★+ (our own benchmark) puts you ahead of most local competitors. Review recency matters as much as total count.
What’s the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?
Regular SEO targets broad, often national search intent. Local SEO specifically optimises for “near me” and neighbourhood-qualified searches, Google Business Profile signals, and citation consistency. It’s a distinct discipline with its own ranking factors.
