SEO services in Kerala

First wins (snippet captures, long-tail rankings) appear in 4-8 weeks. Material traffic + lead lift typically lands in 4-6 months. Topical authority compounds over 12-24 months.

SEO covers Google. HEO covers Google + AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude) + answer engines (snippets, voice). If you want all three, see /services/heo.

Yes — see /services/local-seo for the standalone offering. SEO retainers for businesses with a local component include GBP work as part of scope.

Real ranges: ₹8-25K/month is freelancer territory (don't expect agency-grade work). ₹25-40K/month is honest Kerala SMB-tier agency retainers. ₹40K-1.5L/month is mid-market scope with technical depth + content production + link earning. ₹1.5L+ is enterprise scope. Adsomia's SEO standalone is ₹55K/month founding (₹85K list), ₹35K/month startup tier for businesses under 2 years old.

No, and anyone who does is lying. Google has 200+ ranking signals out of any agency's control — competitor activity, algorithm updates, your own site's history, query intent shifts. We guarantee process (the methodology we ship, the work that goes in), measurement transparency, and a CAC outcome — not a specific ranking position. Agencies that guarantee positions either pick low-competition vanity keywords or invent metrics post-hoc to claim success.

Day-1 technical audit, monthly keyword + content brief delivery (4-6 briefs typical), on-page optimisation work on top pages, technical fixes (Core Web Vitals, schema, internal linking, crawl-efficiency), link earning (editorial outreach + broken-link reclamation + brand-mention reclamation), monthly performance reporting tied to qualified leads — not just rankings + traffic. We share the actual content briefs + the technical-change log every month.

Five layers, in order of importance. (1) Qualified leads attributed to organic — tracked via UTM + Google Analytics 4 + your CRM. (2) Pipeline value from organic-sourced leads — tracked through your sales funnel. (3) Keyword rankings on commercial-intent queries (not vanity terms). (4) Organic traffic growth on priority pages. (5) Domain authority + entity signals over time. We report all five monthly. Vanity-metric reports (impressions, traffic only, ranking averages) are what we DON'T do.

Sometimes, if you have a senior marketer with SEO + content + technical workflow competence already in-house. The free HEO Checker at /tools/heo-checker tells you where you stand and the top 5 priority fixes. Many of our clients run a hybrid model — Adsomia ships the SEO infrastructure + methodology + monthly content briefs; the in-house team executes against the framework. The hybrid model is often the better unit economic at ₹2-10Cr revenue scale.

Yes, and we do it regularly. The most common pattern is: existing agency runs traditional SEO (Google rankings + on-page + link building), Adsomia layers HEO on top (AI search optimisation, schema deployment, llms.txt, AI-extractable content rewrites). Same content infrastructure, different surfaces being captured. We coordinate handoffs cleanly so the existing agency doesn't see us as a threat to their work.

Materially. By 2026, AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude) drive measurable share of search-style traffic — and that share is growing. Pure-SEO agencies are optimising for a shrinking surface. The good agencies have moved to HEO (Hybrid Engine Optimization — SEO + AI search + GEO + AEO as one workflow) because the underlying content infrastructure overlaps. If your SEO agency hasn't talked to you about AI search by mid-2026, ask them what their roadmap is. If they don't have one, that's the signal.

Buy backlinks from PBN networks. Use AI to generate content at scale without human editor sign-off. Promise specific Google rankings. Stuff thin keyword pages onto your site that don't serve readers. Use black-hat tactics that get sites de-indexed. Send vanity-metric reports that hide the absence of qualified-lead growth. The list is published at /about/wont-do — and we'll add to it if we ever catch ourselves drifting.
