What does an SEO consultant do?

An SEO consultant looks at your website, your market and your competitors, then decides what to fix first. The work usually covers a technical audit, keyword and page planning, content and on-page changes, link and local listing work, and monthly reporting. Some consultants only advise. We also carry out the work.

Should I hire an SEO consultant or an SEO agency?

A solo consultant suits a small site with an in-house person who can do the work. An agency suits a business that needs writing, development, links and reporting handled together. OneCity works as a consulting team: you get a named lead and a written plan, and we do the work in the same package.

How much does an SEO consultant cost in Bangalore?

Our monthly SEO packages run from Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000 for Local SEO, Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000 for Growth SEO and Rs 50,000 to Rs 1,50,000 for Enterprise SEO, plus GST as applicable. A one-time audit is priced after we look at your site. Every engagement starts with a free audit.

Can an SEO consultant guarantee a first page ranking?

No. Google says no one can guarantee a number one ranking. A guarantee usually means easy, low-volume keywords. We agree the target searches with you in writing and report your actual positions every month.

Do you work with startups and small businesses in Bangalore?

Yes. A single-location business usually starts with Local SEO. A startup that needs to earn traffic through content usually starts with Growth SEO. We tell you if SEO is the wrong channel for you right now, for example when you need enquiries this month and should start with Google Ads.

What should I ask an SEO consultant before hiring?

Ask who will actually do the work, which searches they will target and why, what they will change in the first 30 days, how they report, and who owns the accounts and content afterwards. Ask for examples of Bangalore businesses they have worked with, and check them yourself.

Technical SEO Services in Bangalore

Technical SEO fixes the code, server and site-structure issues that stop Google from crawling, indexing and ranking your pages. OneCity Technologies provides technical SEO services in Bangalore covering site speed, crawl efficiency, indexing control, structured data and Core Web Vitals. Our engagements start at Rs 15,000 per month.

What Is Technical SEO?

Technical SEO is the work behind your visible content. It covers server response times, URL structures, XML sitemaps, robots.txt configuration, canonical tags, mobile rendering and JavaScript handling. If any of these are broken, Google cannot properly discover or rank your pages regardless of how strong your SEO strategy is.

Google allocates a limited crawl budget to every website. For a site with hundreds or thousands of pages, wasted crawl budget on duplicate URLs, redirect chains or orphan pages means your important pages get crawled less often. Technical SEO ensures every crawl is productive.

Our Technical SEO Process

We follow a four-phase process for every client:

Phase 1: Crawl and Baseline

We run a full-site crawl using Screaming Frog and cross-reference with Google Search Console data. This produces a baseline of every URL Google knows about, including URLs you may not want indexed. We record your current Core Web Vitals scores (LCP, INP, CLS) from Chrome User Experience Report data and PageSpeed Insights. This phase overlaps with the first steps of our SEO audit.

Phase 2: Issue Mapping

Every issue from the crawl gets categorised: indexing problems, speed problems, mobile problems, structured data errors and server-level issues. We rank each by its impact on rankings and effort to fix. Quick wins (a missing canonical tag, an oversized image, a broken redirect) go to the top of the list.

Phase 3: Implementation

We work with your development team or handle fixes directly. For WordPress, Laravel, Botble CMS and static PHP sites, we make the changes ourselves. For platforms like Shopify or custom frameworks, we provide exact specifications your developer can apply. Every fix is tested before it goes live.

Phase 4: Monitoring

After fixes go live, we monitor Google Search Console for crawl errors, indexing changes and Core Web Vitals regressions. We set up alerts for new 404 errors, server errors and sudden drops in indexed page count. Monthly reports show what changed and what needs attention next.

Common Technical SEO Problems We Fix

Here are the issues we find most often on Bangalore business websites:

Slow page speed. Images not compressed, no browser caching headers, render-blocking CSS and JavaScript loaded in the head. We have improved LCP scores from 6+ seconds to under 2.5 seconds on sites running shared hosting. Read our guide on fixing Core Web Vitals on a small business site.

Broken internal links. Pages link to URLs that return 404 errors. Google wastes crawl budget following dead links, and visitors leave. We fix these by updating links or setting up 301 redirects.

Missing or duplicate canonical tags. Without a canonical tag, Google may index the wrong version of a page (www vs non-www, HTTP vs HTTPS, with or without trailing slash). We set correct canonicals on every indexable page.

No XML sitemap or a stale one. Many sites either have no sitemap.xml or have one that lists pages deleted years ago. We generate an accurate, auto-updating sitemap and submit it to Google Search Console.

Incorrect robots.txt. We regularly find robots.txt files that accidentally block CSS, JS or entire subdirectories from Googlebot. One client had their entire /services/ folder blocked from indexing for months without realising it.

Missing structured data. Google uses structured data (schema markup) to understand your business type, location, services, FAQs and reviews. We implement Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage and BreadcrumbList schema as JSON-LD. Our AI SEO services cover advanced schema implementation.

Poor mobile rendering. Google uses mobile-first indexing. If your mobile version hides content, uses tiny tap targets or has horizontal scroll, rankings suffer. We test every page on actual devices and fix layout, font size and tap-target issues.

Redirect chains. Page A redirects to B, B redirects to C. Each hop wastes crawl budget and adds latency. We flatten chains to a single 301 redirect from the original URL to the final destination.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a technical SEO fix take?

Quick wins like fixing broken links, adding canonical tags and compressing images take 1 to 2 weeks. Larger issues like site architecture changes or Core Web Vitals optimisation take 4 to 8 weeks depending on your development team.

Do I need technical SEO if my site is on WordPress?

Yes. WordPress handles basics well, but plugins, theme conflicts, unoptimised images and database bloat create technical problems that need manual fixing. Most WordPress sites we audit have 15 to 30 technical issues affecting their rankings.

Will technical SEO improvements show in rankings immediately?

Google needs to recrawl your pages after changes. For small sites under 100 pages, recrawling happens within 1 to 2 weeks. For larger sites, it can take 4 to 6 weeks. Ranking changes follow recrawling, not the day the fix goes live.

Can you fix Core Web Vitals on shared hosting?

Yes, to a degree. Image optimisation, CSS/JS minification and caching headers improve scores on shared hosting. If LCP stays above 2.5 seconds after these fixes, we recommend upgrading to a VPS or managed hosting. We help with the migration.

What is the difference between technical SEO and on-page SEO?

Technical SEO fixes server, code and crawling issues. On-page SEO optimises content, titles, headings and keywords. Both are necessary. A page with great content but slow load time and no canonical tag will rank lower than a faster, properly structured competitor.
