Practical Guide for Businesses
Finding the best SEO company in Kerala can feel confusing. Search results are packed with agencies claiming “#1,” promising instant rankings, or using buzzwords without clearly explaining how results are achieved.
In reality, SEO is a long-term investment. The “best” agency isn’t the loudest — it’s the one that understands search intent, follows Google’s guidelines, and delivers consistent growth over time. This guide helps you evaluate SEO agencies objectively and understand what a stable SEO process looks like.

If you want a simple answer, a “best” SEO agency is usually the one that can show:
Choosing an SEO partner is hard because:
SEO isn’t a fixed product. What works for one business may fail for another. Google’s algorithms evolve continuously — and tactics that work today can hurt tomorrow.
Many businesses contact us after ranking losses caused by risky optimisation. In most cases, recovery starts by undoing shortcuts before real growth can begin.
Instead of slogans, evaluate potential agencies through these core pillars of consistent search growth.
Strong agencies show sustained experience across algorithm updates—not just a new brand name. Techpullers began in 2012 as Expressure and evolved into Techpullers Technology Solutions Pvt Ltd, reflecting long-term continuity in search.
SEO difficulty changes by sector. Ranking a dental clinic, ecommerce store, or training institute requires unique strategies. A reliable agency can demonstrate proven outcomes across multiple verticals.
A trustworthy partner explains exactly what work is being done, why strategies were chosen, and what results are realistic.
Ethical agencies avoid keyword stuffing or artificial signals that lead to long-term losses. Google rewards expertise, trust, and helpful content—pillars we prioritize in every campaign.
Good reporting focuses on traffic quality, visibility that matters, and conversion actions like enquiries and leads—not just vanity metrics.
(What many businesses miss)
Kerala SEO is not only about “ranking a keyword.” In many industries, leads come from a strategic mix of local signals and location intent.
Local SEO visibility and reviews are critical for capturing immediate service intent in Kerala.
Map results behave differently than normal search results and require specialized optimization.
Consistent business information, local citations, and brand mentions build essential search authority.
Targeting Kochi, Calicut, Trivandrum, and other hubs with specific service-area clarity.
A reliable agency should be able to explain how they handle both Search + Local, not just give you a generic “content and backlinks” plan.
Use this table to compare agencies clearly. It helps you spot red flags early and choose a company with a stable, guideline-safe SEO process.
| FACTOR | WHAT A GOOD AGENCY DOES | RED FLAG TO WATCH | WHAT TO ASK THEM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goals & expectations | Sets realistic timelines and focuses on qualified enquiries | Promises “#1 in Google” quickly | “What results can we realistically expect in 3–6 months?” |
| Process clarity | Explains monthly tasks clearly (technical + content + links) | Vague answers like “we’ll do SEO” | “What will you do in Month 1, 2, and 3?” |
| Case studies | Shows proof with context (GSC/GA trends, leads where possible) | Only screenshots, no story, no outcome | “Can you show a case study with measurable outcomes?” |
| Keyword strategy | Chooses keywords based on intent + business value | Only high-volume keywords with no buyer intent | “How will you select keywords that bring leads, not just traffic?” |
| Search volume claims | Uses trusted tools and explains assumptions | Inflated or made-up volumes | “Which tool are you using — can we verify it?” |
| Technical SEO | Fixes crawl/indexing, speed, structure, schema, internal links | Only “content + backlinks,” ignores technical issues | “What technical issues will you fix first on our site?” |
| Content quality | Improves clarity and answers real questions (no stuffing) | Keyword stuffing / AI spam content | “How do you ensure content is helpful and not over-optimised?” |
| Backlink approach | Builds relevant links + brand mentions | Random blogs, irrelevant sites, bulk link building | “Where will links come from? Can you show examples?” |
| Reporting | Uses Search Console + Analytics + lead tracking (if setup) | Only rank reports | “Will you share GSC + GA reports monthly + conversions?” |
| Team accountability | Clear strategy owner; consistent reviews | Outsourced work; no single owner | “Who owns strategy and who will I speak to monthly?” |
| Handling updates | Monitors changes; improves quality and fixes issues | Panic tactics: sudden bulk links | “What do you do if rankings drop after an update?” |
| “Google Partner” claim | Clear: Ads-related, not SEO endorsement | “Google partnered for SEO” marketing | “Can you share your Partner directory link?” |
| Contract transparency | Clear deliverables and what’s excluded | Hidden scope, unclear tasks | “What exactly is included monthly? Can I see the task list?” |
Showing All 13 Key Factors
Techpullers has earned trust through consistency and documented work — not exaggerated claims.
Roots as Expressure and a decade of adapting to major search changes.
Across Kerala, India, and international markets — without inflating numbers.
Ecommerce, healthcare/clinics, education, real estate & construction, hospitality, professional services, and international lead generation.
A credible agency should be able to show real work: what changed, why it mattered, and what improved.
Our process is structured, measurable, and designed for stability.
We audit crawlability, indexation, site structure, page speed, mobile usability, and major technical blockers.
We choose keywords based on intent (what the user wants), not volume alone — so traffic quality improves.
We improve clarity, structure, and usefulness so pages answer real questions without keyword stuffing.
We strengthen internal linking, brand trust signals, and reputation — focused on relevance and quality.
SEO is ongoing. We track performance, refine priorities, and adapt to SERP and algorithm shifts.
Don't let these common misconceptions derail your digital growth strategy.
No ethical agency can guarantee the #1 spot. Rankings depend on your website quality, competition, and Google updates.
Real SEO takes time. Stable improvement usually takes 8–12 weeks, with stronger progress in 4–6 months.
Proper SEO includes research, tech, and content. Low pricing often means shortcuts or low-quality work.
Repeating keywords hurts performance. Clear structure and matching search intent works better long-term.
Backlinks help only when relevant and trustworthy. Random links create long-term risk.
AI assists research, but strategy and technical fixes still require real SEO experience.
Google Partner is Ads-related. It gives no advantage in organic rankings or Google approval for SEO.
Search results keep changing. SEO needs ongoing updates and technical maintenance.
AEO is an evolution, not a replacement. It relies on clear answers, structured content, and trust signals.
Most business owners are not SEO experts—and that’s normal. Use this checklist to avoid hype and choose an agency that can actually deliver.
Ask for 1–3 examples showing what they did and what changed (traffic, calls, enquiries, sales).
“Who is responsible for strategy and quality checking?” every month.
“What exactly will you do in Month 1, Month 2, and Month 3?”
Check for work on crawl issues, speed, schema, and mobile usability.
Monthly reporting from Search Console + Analytics (not just rank screenshots).
Honest agencies won’t hide a request for a quick call or message with a current client.
Cross-check search volumes using Google Keyword Planner to ensure they aren't inflated.
Relevance matters. If the plan is "random blogs," it's a major red flag.
Google does not officially endorse agencies for SEO. Verify their Ads partner link in the official directory.

Look for proof through case studies with real numbers, a clear monthly process, and strong technical SEO capability. Ensure they provide transparent reporting (Search Console + Analytics) and use a safe, white-hat backlink approach. Avoid any agency making "guaranteed #1" promises or "instant SEO" claims.
Most websites see meaningful improvement within 8–12 weeks. Stronger movement typically occurs in 4–6 months, depending on your website’s current condition, competition levels, and the consistency of the SEO execution.
A reliable report must go beyond "rank screenshots" and include data from Google Search Console and Analytics:
Traditional SEO improves general visibility in search results. Local SEO focuses on Google Maps and the "Local 3-Pack". In Kerala, service businesses thrive on Map visibility and location-intent searches (like Kochi or Trivandrum), so a strong strategy usually combines both.
No ethical agency can guarantee #1 rankings. Rankings change based on competition, algorithm updates, and site quality. Reliable agencies focus on process, measurable improvements, and generating qualified enquiries.
