Here are some options + guidance on getting affordable SEO services, plus things to watch out for. If you tell me your budget (₹ / USD) and goals (local / e-commerce / blog etc.), I can suggest specific providers.

| Monthly small business packages | From ₹10,000-₹30,000/month (~ US$150-400) for basic or local SEO work. |
| More comprehensive / competitive markets | Can go much higher, depending on number of pages, content needs, backlink work etc. |

What to Prioritize / What to Ask
To get value for money, you’ll want to make sure your SEO provider does the right things. Here are key things to check / include in their service:
-
Transparent audit + report
What is the current state of your website? What technical SEO issues, site speed, indexing, mobile usability etc. -
Keyword research suited to your business
Not just “high volume” keywords, but ones you have a chance to rank for, or which bring customers. -
On-page optimization
Titles, meta descriptions, headings, site structure, internal links etc. -
Content/Blog / Local SEO (if relevant)
Regular content (blogs, landing pages), Google Business Profile or equivalent for local businesses. -
Backlink / Off-page strategy
But be careful: shady or low-quality link building can hurt more than help. -
Monitoring / reporting
Regular reports showing what changed, traffic, rankings. Also realistic expectations (SEO takes time). -
White-hat methods
No “guaranteed #1” promises, no spammy link building, hidden techniques etc. These often lead to penalties.
Risks of “Too Cheap” SEO
If a deal sounds too good to be true, it often is. Some risks:
-
Poor quality content or copying/plagiarism.
-
Using black-hat link building or link farms → can get you penalized by Google.
-
Slow response, unclear communication.
-
Hidden costs later.
-
Little to no results because they cut corners (skip technical fixes, content, etc.).
If you tell me:
-
Your monthly budget (in ₹ or USD).
-
Your goals (e.g. more traffic / sales, local customers, compete nationally etc.).
-
Type of website (blog, shop, service business, etc.).
