"Our website had been sitting on page two for three years despite having good content. Ankit ran a technical audit, identified crawl issues and Core Web Vitals failures we didn't know existed, fixed them over six weeks, and we moved to page one for our main service keywords. The difference in enquiry volume was immediate and significant."
Local SEO That Puts You on
Google Maps Page One
When someone searches for your service 'near me,' are you showing up? We rank local businesses in Google's 3-pack and city-specific results — driving foot traffic, calls, and qualified leads from your area.
Why Local SEO Is the Most Valuable Investment
for Location-Based Businesses
When someone in your city types "dentist near me," "best restaurant in Ahmedabad," or "plumber in Pune," Google doesn't show the most popular website nationwide — it shows the businesses that are most relevant and trusted in that specific area. Local SEO is what gets you into those results.
The stakes are high: 46% of all Google searches have local intent. "Near me" searches have grown over 500% in the past few years. The three businesses that appear in Google's local pack — the map listings at the very top of search results — capture the majority of clicks, calls, and direction requests. If your competitors are in that 3-pack and you're not, they're getting customers who would otherwise choose you.
Local SEO works across two interconnected fronts. First, your Google Business Profile — which directly controls your Maps listing, your 3-pack appearance, and the information Google shows about your business. Second, your website — which needs locally-optimized content, city-specific landing pages, local schema markup, and citations across Indian business directories.
We've helped businesses across Ahmedabad, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and 50+ other Indian cities rank at the top of local search. Whether you're a single-location restaurant, a multi-city service business, or a franchise network, local SEO is the most cost-effective way to connect with customers who are ready to buy right now.

Real Results from a
Real Campaign
Dental Clinic — From 0 to #1 in Google Maps in 5 Months
The Challenge
A 3-chair dental clinic in Ahmedabad had no Google Business Profile, zero online reviews, and ranked nowhere for 'dentist near me' or any local keyword. They relied entirely on word-of-mouth. A newly opened competitor with a full GBP was capturing all their potential online patients.
Key Actions Taken
- Created and fully optimized GBP with 12 service categories, 40 photos, and full attribute setup
- Built citations across 45 Indian directories with consistent NAP
- Implemented LocalBusiness + MedicalBusiness schema on website
- Created neighbourhood-specific landing pages for 6 Ahmedabad areas
- Generated 47 Google reviews through a post-appointment follow-up system
- Earned links from 3 Ahmedabad health blogs and the local chamber of commerce
Top Results Achieved
"We went from invisible online to the first thing people see when they search for dentists in our area. Our appointment book is full for the first time in years."

What Clients Say About
Working With Ankit Patel
Honest feedback from businesses across India that have experienced the process, the communication, and the results first-hand
"Ankit optimized our Google Business Profile, built out our local citations, and helped us get a proper review generation process in place. Within two months we were in the Maps 3-pack for our most important searches. Patient calls from Google have more than doubled compared to before we started working together."
"Our Shopify store had serious technical problems — duplicate URLs, slow load times, no Product schema. Ankit systematically worked through everything and created a category content strategy that actually made sense for our buyers. Organic revenue is up 280% year-on-year. This is the best marketing investment we have made."
"What I appreciated most was the honesty. Ankit told me exactly which keywords were realistic for our domain in the short term and which would take longer — rather than just promising everything. Six months in, we rank where he said we would. Monthly reports are clear, specific, and actually explain what's happening, not just show numbers."
"We were spending heavily on LinkedIn Ads to generate B2B leads for our software product. Ankit built a content strategy targeting our buyer's research questions and product-comparison searches. After 10 months, organic brings us more qualified trial signups than our paid campaigns — at a fraction of the cost per lead."
"We have a restaurant in Satellite and were barely visible on Google Maps despite good food and reviews. After Ankit's local SEO work — profile optimization, photos, systematic review requests, and area-specific content — we consistently appear in Maps top 3 for every relevant search nearby. Weekend footfall has noticeably increased."
