SEO Pricing in India: Our 2026 Rate Card
SEO rates in India vary widely because agencies sell different amounts of work under the same name. This page shows exactly what OneCity Technologies charges for monthly SEO in 2026, what each package includes, and what pushes a quote up or down.

What decides where you land in the range
Two businesses in the same package can pay different amounts. These are the factors that move the quote:
- Number of pages that need work. A 15-page clinic website and a 3,000-product store are different jobs.
- How competitive the search is. Ranking for “dentist in Jayanagar” takes less effort than ranking for “seo company in bangalore”, where large agencies and directories already hold the top spots.
- Locations and languages. Each city needs its own pages, Google Business Profile and citations. Kannada, Hindi or Malayalam versions add content work.
- Content volume. The number of new articles or landing pages you want each month.
- Technical condition of the site. Crawl errors, slow templates, duplicate pages and migrations all add hours in the first months.
- Link building. Links from relevant Indian sites take outreach time and are the slowest, least predictable part of any campaign.
How SEO is priced in India: four common models
Monthly retainer
A fixed monthly fee for a written scope of work. This is how most agencies, including us, price SEO, because rankings build over months and the work is ongoing: fixing the site, publishing content, earning links, managing local listings and reporting.
One-time audit or project
A fixed fee for a defined deliverable such as a technical audit, a site migration or a set of landing pages. It suits businesses with an in-house person who can carry out the recommendations. We begin every engagement with a free audit.
Hourly or day-rate consulting
Useful for a second opinion or for training your team. It does not include the ongoing execution that moves rankings.
Pay-per-ranking or guaranteed results
Be careful with these. Google’s own guidance says no one can guarantee a number one ranking. Agencies that offer guarantees often pick easy, low-volume keywords so that the promise is technically met while your enquiries stay flat.
What you should see, month by month
- Month 1: audit, technical fixes, keyword and page plan, Google Business Profile clean-up.
- Months 2 and 3: on-page work goes live, first content is published, citations and links begin. Indexing and impressions usually improve first.
- Months 3 to 6: ranking movement for local and long-tail searches, and the first steady flow of enquiries.
- After month 6: competitive terms start to move if content and links have kept up. We do not promise a position, and we report from your own Search Console data.
How to compare SEO quotes
- Ask for the scope in writing: pages, articles, links and reports per month.
- Ask who will do the work and who you will speak to every month.
- Ask for access to your own Google Search Console and Analytics, not only a PDF report.
- Ask for named client results you can verify, and treat a guaranteed ranking as a warning sign.
- Check the exit terms. A long lock-in on a service that takes months to show results favours the agency.

SEO pricing questions
How much does SEO cost per month in India?
At OneCity Technologies, monthly SEO runs from Rs 15,000 to Rs 1,50,000 depending on the package. Local SEO for a single-location business is Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000. Growth SEO for competitive industries or multi-location businesses is Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000. Enterprise SEO for large websites, e-commerce and multi-city campaigns is Rs 50,000 to Rs 1,50,000. GST is charged as applicable.
Why do SEO rates in India differ so much between agencies?
Agencies sell different amounts of work under the same label. A low quote usually covers a few on-page edits and a report. A higher quote covers content, link building, technical fixes, local listings and a named person who owns the account. Ask for the written scope of deliverables before comparing prices.
Does OneCity guarantee rankings?
No. Google does not allow anyone to guarantee a position, and Google’s own guidance warns about agencies that promise a guaranteed number one ranking. We commit to a written scope of work, monthly reporting from your own Search Console data, and honest projections.
Is there a long-term contract?
There is no long-term lock-in. Every engagement starts with a free audit so you see the problems on your site before you commit to a package.
How long does SEO take to show results?
Most local businesses see movement in three to six months. Competitive searches such as agency and service terms in a large city can take longer. The first month is spent on the audit and technical fixes, so early gains are usually in indexing and local visibility rather than in clicks.
Which package suits a small business in Bangalore?
A single-location business that wants customers from Bangalore usually starts with Local SEO. It covers Google Business Profile optimisation, local keyword targeting by area, on-page SEO for up to 15 pages, technical fixes, citations and monthly reports. Move to Growth SEO when you compete in a crowded market, run several branches or need regular content.
