Outsourcing SEO to India costs roughly $500–$3,500 a month and works when you vet the vendor rather than the country. RankMont has delivered search for businesses in the US, UK, Australia, Canada and Europe since 2014, with 100 in-house specialists in Mohali. Programmes start at $1,500 a month, or a fixed-scope 90-day pilot at $1,200. Every link we build is published as a live URL for you to check.
The five things that actually go wrong
The country is not the risk factor; the vendor is. Five failures account for almost every bad offshore SEO experience, and all five are detectable before you sign.

How we work
- Week 1
Access and baseline
Search Console, analytics, CMS and — on larger sites — server logs. We record where you are before touching anything.
- Week 1–2
Technical audit, read by a person
Not a tool export. A prioritised list: what is costing you traffic today, what will cost you traffic later, and what the tool flagged that does not matter.
- Week 2–3
Keyword-to-URL mapping
Every target term assigned to exactly one page. The step most programmes skip, and why so many sites have four pages competing for one query.
- Week 4
The written plan, approved by you
What gets fixed, built and earned, in what order, with what we expect to see and when. Disagree with the sequencing here, not in month four.
- Monthly
Execution you can watch
Technical work, content and links land in the dashboard as they happen. Short written update weekly, full report monthly.
- Quarterly
Revisit the plan properly
Search changes and your business changes. Every page gets a refresh review — freshness is one of the heaviest ranking and citation signals there is.
