How much does SEO cost in India?
Short answer
SEO in India costs ₹25,000–₹1,50,000/month for SMEs, depending on competition, number of keywords and content velocity. Enterprise SEO starts at ₹2,00,000/month.
Local SEO (Google Business Profile + 10–20 keywords): ₹25,000–₹50,000/month. National SEO (50–200 keywords + 4–8 blogs/month): ₹60,000–₹1,50,000/month. Enterprise / programmatic SEO: ₹2–10 lakh/month.
Per-project pricing: SEO audit ₹15,000–₹50,000 one-time, technical SEO sprint ₹40,000–₹1,50,000, link building ₹3,000–₹15,000 per quality DoFollow link.
Expect 3–6 months for compounding traffic to begin. Anyone promising page-1 rankings in 30 days is selling spam — Google's algorithm penalises that approach within a quarter.
