SEO services in Bengaluru.

Fawaz BH is an independent SEO, AEO and GEO consultant working with Bengaluru businesses remotely from Kushal Nagar in Kodagu, Karnataka.

He holds four named qualifications, which are an Ahrefs Academy certification, Semrush AI Visibility Essentials, Semrush Technical SEO and AI Search Essentials, and an Advanced Diploma in Digital Marketing from Adrex Media School. He currently runs web and search work for a construction and interiors firm in Nelamangala, Bengaluru. Every engagement is delivered personally, with no account managers and no subcontracting.

Sometimes you should hire the agency, and I will tell you when that is the case.

If you need large-volume content production, paid media managed alongside search, and a team to absorb a lot of parallel work, an agency is built for that and I am not. What you get from me is that the person who audits your site is the person who fixes it, you talk to that person directly, and the client list is short enough that your work does not get queued behind a bigger account. If you have already been through two agencies and are not sure what was actually done, that is usually the problem I am useful for.

Published starting rates are ₹14,999 per month for a Starter local SEO scope and ₹29,999 per month for full-stack SEO plus AEO, with combined SEO, AEO and GEO quoted after the free audit.

For most Bengaluru businesses the Starter scope is too light, because the competitive set is deeper than in the rest of the state and the technical load is usually heavier. Growth or a scoped custom engagement is the realistic entry point here. Final pricing is agreed in writing against a defined scope after the audit, and the audit is free either way. Full rate card on the services page.

Not on volume. On selection, yes, and that is usually what decides it.

A large agency has to keep a lot of billable people busy, which pushes work towards whatever is repeatable. That leaves genuine gaps: unfixed technical debt, locality pages nobody differentiated, comparison-stage content nobody wrote, and answer-engine visibility nobody is measuring. Those are the places I work. If your category genuinely requires outspending a competitor, I will say so during the audit rather than take a retainer against a fight I cannot win for you.

Specific areas, almost always. Targeting the whole city is the most common and most expensive mistake in this market.

Google resolves local intent at neighbourhood level here, because a customer in Whitefield is not travelling to Jayanagar for a routine service. Ranking city-wide for a broad term brings traffic that will not convert and competes you against businesses 40 km away. Pick the localities you genuinely serve, build a real page for each one covering what you actually do there, and get the service area and categories on your Business Profile matching reality. That beats a city-wide push at a fraction of the effort.

More here than almost anywhere else in India, because of who your buyers are.

Bengaluru B2B buyers are disproportionately likely to ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini to shortlist vendors before they open a search engine. If an assistant names three companies in your category and you are not one of them, you never entered the evaluation. I track this against a fixed set of 20 to 40 buyer-phrased prompts, re-run on schedule and reported per engine rather than averaged, so you can see whether the position is genuinely improving or just moving around.

Longer than in a smaller market. Plan on six to twelve months for meaningful movement on competitive commercial terms.

Technical fixes can show within weeks, and neighbourhood-level local work often moves inside two or three months. Head commercial terms in a saturated category take considerably longer, because the sites ahead of you have years of accumulated authority. Anyone promising you page one in ninety days in this market either has not looked at your competitors or is not being straight with you.

By arrangement, and agreed separately rather than built into a retainer.

I am about 250 km away in Kodagu, so a Bengaluru visit is a planned trip. For a kickoff with a larger team, or a site visit for a business whose premises matter, it is worth doing and I will come. For the ongoing work it changes nothing: technical fixes, structured data, content, reporting and answer-engine work are desk work. I would rather your budget went into the work than into my travel.
