SEO SERVICES SRI LANKA · FROM LKR 55,000/MONTH

Get found on Google,
the clean way

Technical fixes, local SEO and content from our Colombo team, with a monthly report built on your own Search Console data. No ranking guarantees, no bought links.

Who it's for

For businesses whose customers search first

If people find businesses like yours on Google or Maps before they call, SEO is worth doing properly. We work on sites we built and on sites we didn't: WordPress, Shopify, Wix and custom builds.

Clinics and healthcare

Patients search by treatment and town: "dental clinic Colombo 5", "physiotherapy Kandy".

Hotels, villas and tours

Be found by travellers before they reach the booking sites, in English and on Maps.

Schools and tuition

Parents and students compare classes, fees and locations on Google first.

Professional services

Law, accounting, consulting and agencies where one enquiry is worth a lot.

Online stores

Category and product pages that rank, with clean structured data and fast mobile pages.

B2B and exporters

Buyers abroad searching for Sri Lankan suppliers, manufacturers and services.

Not the right fit if you need enquiries next week (paid ads work faster) or want a guaranteed position. Nobody can honestly sell you that.

How we work

Eight steps, in this order

The order matters: content on a site Google can't crawl properly is wasted, so we fix the foundations first.

  1. 01

    Audit

    We crawl the whole site and read your Search Console and GA4 data. Then we compare you with three competitors and write down what's holding you back.

  2. 02

    Fix technical issues

    Indexing, broken links, redirects, canonicals and Core Web Vitals, worst problems first. We make the fixes ourselves when we have access.

  3. 03

    Keywords and content plan

    What your customers actually type, in their words, mapped to the pages that should rank. You approve the plan before we write anything.

  4. 04

    On-page optimisation

    Titles, headings, copy, images and internal links on your priority pages, written for people first.

  5. 05

    Local SEO and Business Profile

    A complete Google Business Profile, consistent details across directories, regular posts and photos, and a routine for asking happy customers for reviews.

  6. 06

    Structured data and AI search

    Organization, LocalBusiness, Service and FAQ markup tied together as one entity, so Google and AI tools understand who you are.

  7. 07

    Authority, the clean way

    Mentions and links from real directories, partners, suppliers and local press. Never bought links or link networks.

  8. 08

    Monthly reporting

    Real Search Console and GA4 numbers, what we did, what changed and what's next. Plain language, no vanity metrics.

What we manage, month by month

A plan you can follow

You always know what we're working on this month and why. The first three months build the foundations; after that the work compounds.

  • Month 1. Audit, tracking in your own accounts, and the critical technical fixes.
  • Month 2. Keyword and content plan approved; priority pages and Business Profile optimised.
  • Month 3. New content goes live, structured data is added and internal links are tightened.
  • Months 4 to 6. Authority building, more content, and refinements based on what Search Console shows.
  • Every month. Health checks, Business Profile upkeep, a report and a plan for next month.
Six-month SEO plan in eight steps: audit, technical fixes, keyword and content plan, on-page, local SEO and Business Profile, structured data, authority and links, and a report at the end of every month.

  • Core Web Vitals on mobile and desktop against Google's targets
  • Indexing, sitemap, robots, canonical and redirect checks
  • Titles, headings, content gaps and internal links
  • Structured data and Google Business Profile review

What you get each month

A report built on real data

Every month you get the numbers straight from Google Search Console and GA4, in accounts that belong to you, plus what we did and what's next.

  • Clicks, impressions, CTR and average position from Search Console
  • Top queries and pages, and which ones moved
  • Enquiries from GA4: forms, calls and WhatsApp taps
  • Work completed this month, with links to each change
  • The plan for next month, and anything we need from you

Timelines

Honest expectations: 3 to 6 months

SEO compounds slowly. Google's own guidance says nobody can guarantee a #1 ranking, and describes four months to a year as a typical time to see the benefit.

  1. 1

    Weeks 1 to 6

    Technical fixes are crawled and indexed. Errors drop in Search Console.

  2. 2

    Months 3 to 6

    Impressions rise first, then clicks, mostly on specific and local searches.

  3. 3

    Months 6 to 12

    Movement on broader, competitive terms, built on content and authority.

What we won't do

These are the shortcuts Google's spam policies penalise. They can cost you far more than they gain.

  • Promise #1 rankings or guaranteed positions
  • Buy links or use private link networks
  • Mass-produce AI pages to chase keywords
  • Post fake reviews or keyword-stuff your Business Profile
  • Keep your accounts or data in our name

FAQ

SEO questions

Straight answers on price, time, guarantees and who owns what.

How much does SEO cost in Sri Lanka?

Our monthly plans are Local at LKR 55,000, Growth at LKR 95,000 and Authority at LKR 165,000, and a one-off SEO audit is LKR 65,000. Across Sri Lankan agencies, published retainers mostly run from about LKR 40,000 to LKR 150,000 a month. Our plans include hands-on fixes, writing and Business Profile work, not just a ranking report.

Can you guarantee first place on Google?

No, and nobody honestly can. Google's own guidance says no one can guarantee a #1 ranking, and that you should find someone else if they promise first place. What we do guarantee is the work: we agree it each month, do it, and show the results in your own Search Console data.

How long does SEO take to work?

Technical fixes are usually crawled within weeks. Impressions tend to rise first, then clicks, with measurable movement in 3 to 6 months. Competitive terms often take 6 to 12 months. Google itself describes four months to a year as typical. Speed depends on your site's age, your competition and how quickly changes go live.

Do you work on websites you didn't build?

Yes: WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow and custom sites. If we have edit access, we make the fixes ourselves. On platforms we can't change, we hand your developer a written fix list and check the result.

What's in the monthly report?

Clicks, impressions, CTR and average position from Google Search Console, top queries and pages, and enquiries from GA4 (forms, calls and WhatsApp taps). It also lists the work done that month and the plan for the next one. The numbers come straight from your accounts, so you can check them yourself.

Who owns the Search Console, GA4 and Business Profile accounts?

You do. We set them up in your business's name, or use the ones you already have, and you give us user access. If you stop working with us, you keep the accounts, the data and everything we published.

What about AI Overviews, ChatGPT and other AI search?

Google says there are no extra requirements for its AI Overviews and AI Mode: the same crawlable, helpful, well-structured pages win. So we focus on clear content, consistent business details and structured data that ties your business together as one entity. We also add an llms.txt file for AI tools and agents that read it, but we don't sell it as a ranking factor, because Google doesn't use it.

Do you buy backlinks or use AI to mass-produce pages?

No. Google's spam policies treat bought links and mass-produced pages as spam, and they can get a site demoted. Our links come from real directories, partners, suppliers, local press and content worth citing. We use AI to help with research and drafts, but a person checks and edits everything we publish.

Is there a contract?

There is a 3-month minimum, because that's the shortest period in which SEO work can show in the data. After that it's month to month with 30 days' notice. The one-off audit has no commitment.

Is Google Ads included?

No. SEO is about your unpaid (organic) results on Google Search and Maps. Google Ads is a separate, paid channel, and the ad spend and its management aren't part of these plans.
