3.05 / SEO & Local SEO

SEO services in Sri Lanka

Keyword research, on page SEO and Google Business Profile setup for local search.

SEO has a credibility problem here, and it was earned. Enough businesses have paid a monthly fee for a report they could not read and rankings they could not verify. So here is the deal we prefer: we tell you which parts are a one-time fix, which parts are ongoing, and what you should expect from each.

Keyword research that reflects what people type

Sri Lankan search behaviour is not American search behaviour. People search in English, in Sinhala transliterated into Latin script, and with place names attached. We map what is actually searched against what you actually sell, then decide which pages are worth building.

On-page SEO, done properly once

Titles and descriptions per page, a single H1, a heading structure that follows the content, internal links that pass authority to the pages that sell, image alt text, structured data, a clean sitemap. Most of this is a fixed job, not a monthly retainer, and we will say so.

Google Business Profile and local search

For a business with a physical location or a service area, the local pack is often worth more than the blue links. Profile setup and verification, categories, hours, photos, and a name, address and phone that match your website character for character.

Technical SEO the site should have had from day one

Page speed on mobile data, crawlability, indexation, canonical tags, redirects that were never set up when the last site was replaced. If you have a site already, this is usually where the fastest wins are.

The obvious question

Why trust an agency’s own SEO page?

You should not, on the strength of the copy. Check the page instead. View source and you will find the whole document served as HTML before any JavaScript runs, one H1, structured data that matches what is visible, and a canonical tag pointing where it should.

That is the standard we build every client site to, and it is cheaper to prove than to claim. If a competing agency’s own site fails those checks, that tells you something a proposal cannot.

Questions

Straight answers

Can you guarantee page one on Google?
No, and anyone who does is either guessing or planning to rank you for a phrase nobody searches. What we can commit to is the work: the research, the on-page changes, the profile setup, and reporting that shows what moved and what did not.
How long before SEO does anything?
For a brand new domain with no history, meaningful search traffic is a matter of months, not weeks. For an existing site with technical problems, fixing those can show results faster. We will tell you which situation you are in before you spend anything.
Is SEO worth it for a small local business?
Often the local half is and the national half is not. A well-built Google Business Profile plus a fast site can be worth more to a Katunayake shop than competing for a country-wide keyword against ten agencies. We would rather scope the cheaper job that works.
Do I need a new website first?
Sometimes. If the current site is slow, unstructured or impossible to edit, SEO spend on top of it is money into a leaking bucket. If it is fundamentally sound, we work with what is there.
