An SEO agency for small business in the US should make your phone ring from searches like "plumber near me" and "dentist in Austin", then show you how it did that. We are a senior team in Noida, India, and we fix your site, your Google Business Profile and your content. SEO starts from $1,000 a month with a 3-month minimum, and the price is agreed before we start.
Live calls every US morning. Then we keep working while you sleep, so you wake up to progress. Our day is 09:00 to 21:00 India time, which is 11:30pm to 11:30am US Eastern in summer. West Coast calls are early, ending around 8:30am Pacific in summer.
How US customers search for local work
People look for a nearby business, then pick from the map pack, which shows three listings with stars, a phone number and a button. Most never scroll to the blue links. For a plumber or a dentist, that small box often matters more than the home page.
Searches also carry a place: a city, a neighbourhood, a county. We map the services you sell to the places you serve, and decide which phrases deserve their own page and which only need a line.
Google Business Profile for service-area businesses
If you go to customers and have no shop front, Google lets you hide your address and list the areas you serve. Getting this right avoids profile suspensions and keeps the listing honest. We check your name, categories, services, hours and photos, and make sure the details match your website and other listings.
Reviews carry real weight here, and they must be real. We set up a simple way to ask customers right after a job and reply to every review. We do not buy reviews or hold back unhappy customers from posting. Google's rules forbid both, and so does US consumer protection law.
Technical fixes that hold the rest up
Most small business sites we look at have the same few problems: slow pages on a phone, duplicate or missing page titles, no clear page per service, and a contact form that does not track. These are fixable, and they come first, because content on a broken site wastes money.
- Page speed and mobile layout checked on real phones
- One page per service, with its own title and clear heading
- Schema markup for your business, services and FAQs
- Call and form tracking so SEO is judged on enquiries
AI search visibility, said honestly
More people now ask AI tools and see AI summaries in Google before they click anything. Nobody can promise that your business will be named in an AI answer, and be wary of anyone who does. What helps is the same work as good SEO: clear pages, facts that match everywhere, real reviews and mentions from trusted sites.
We write pages that answer questions directly, keep your business details consistent, and test a set of questions in AI tools each month. We report what we see, including when you are not mentioned.
State and city pages: plan them together
A page for every city looks tempting and usually backfires. Google treats thin copies with only the city swapped as low value. A city page earns its place when you really serve that city and have something local to say: jobs done there, local rules, prices, photos, reviews from that town.
So we plan this with you. You tell us where you get jobs and where you want more. We pick the first few places, write each page properly, and add more only when the first ones work.
When another approach is the better choice
SEO is slow. If you need calls this week, Google Ads or Local Services Ads will get there faster, and many businesses run both. If you want someone at your office or to take photos of your crew, a local US agency fits better.
If you are in a crowded city and trade, expect months, not weeks. We say so before you sign, and the audit tells us how realistic your goals are.

Your data
Personal data and a team in India
The US has no single privacy law. What applies to you depends on your sector and your state: health data, children's data and several state privacy laws each have their own rules, and email and text marketing have theirs.
- We write down which personal data we would see, where it is stored and who has access, and agree it in writing.
- We work inside your accounts and tools, so you keep control of the data and can remove our access.
- If you handle health information or serve a regulated sector, tell us on the first call so we can say plainly whether we are the right fit.
- For email and text follow-up, we build opt-in and opt-out into the workflow (CAN-SPAM and TCPA rules apply to you as the sender).
This is plain-language information about how we work, not legal advice. Please have your own adviser check what applies to your business.
How we contract
Clear terms, before you spend anything
The commercial side in plain words. The full wording is in our terms, and your proposal sets the details.
- A written proposal comes firstScope, deliverables, milestones, price and timeline, in writing. Work starts when you accept it.
- The price does not moveOnce agreed, the number in the proposal is the number on the invoice. Changes to scope are quoted as a written change request and only built once you approve them.
- You pay by milestoneProjects are paid in milestones set in your proposal. No project is billed in full upfront. Invoices are payable within 14 days unless your agreement says otherwise.
- You own the workCode, designs and accounts are registered to your company from day one. We keep our own pre-existing tools and methods.
- No lock-inEither side can end a project with written notice, and you pay for the work done up to then. Retainers run month to month with 30 days written notice.
- 30 days of fixes after launchDefects in what we delivered are fixed for 30 days after launch. New features and third-party changes are quoted separately.
Quick answers
About cost and timing
The things people ask right after they see a price.
Our SEO starts from $1,000 a month, with a 3-month minimum. It covers technical fixes and content. The final figure depends on pages, locations and how crowded your market is. We agree the price in writing before we start, and it does not change during the term.
Early movement often shows in two to three months, and competitive trades in big cities can take six months or more. We report on calls and forms, not only positions. Anyone who guarantees a ranking is guessing, so we do not.
Invoices are in USD, paid by card, Wise or international bank transfer. As an Indian supplier of services we do not charge US sales tax. Your accountant may ask for a Form W-8BEN-E, which we provide. Once the monthly figure is agreed, it does not change during the term.

Still have a question?
Thirty minutes with us usually answers everything, including whether we are the right fit.
Yes, in the morning: live calls every US morning, up to about 11:30am Eastern in summer. After that we keep working while you sleep. Every message gets a reply within 12 hours, and you get a short written summary after each call.
We improve the things AI tools draw from: clear answers on your pages, consistent business details, real reviews and mentions. We test questions each month and report honestly. We cannot promise a mention in any AI tool, because those systems change without notice.
SEO is mostly research, writing and technical work, which can be done well from anywhere. You get senior people at a lower price than a US agency. What we cannot do is visit you, so if that matters, a local agency suits you better.
You do. Search Console, Analytics, your Business Profile and all content live in your accounts, and we are added as users. If you stop, you keep the fixes, the content, the reports and the keyword research. Nothing is held back, and you can hand all of it to another provider or your own team.
Not always. We audit first. If your site is slow, hard to edit or blocks search, we say so and quote the fix separately. If it is sound, we start SEO on what you have, and the first month goes on technical fixes and the plan.
