Freelance SEO Expert Delhi India

Freelance SEO Expert in Delhi, India

Hi, I am Jitesh Manaktala. I help businesses improve organic rankings, Google Maps visibility, website traffic and qualified leads with practical SEO work.

I started my career in the IT industry in 1999. At that time websites were simple, internet was slow, and SEO was not the popular word it is today. I was working on software, websites and real business problems. Slowly, I became more interested in search engines and how websites appear on Google.

From 2004, I started working independently as a freelance web developer and SEO consultant. Since then I have worked with startups, small businesses, agencies, local service companies, eCommerce stores, doctors, lawyers, consultants and international clients.

My Journey Into SEO

I was born and raised in Delhi. I grew up at a time when computers were not as common as they are today. I was always curious about how software worked, how websites were built, and how people could use technology to grow a business.

My early work was more related to software development and website design. One of my first projects was a small Visual Basic software for a nursing home. It was not a very big project, but for me it was important. It gave me confidence that I could solve real problems using technology.

Later, while working on websites and content research, I started noticing something interesting. Some websites were ranking on Google again and again, while some good-looking websites were not visible anywhere. That made me curious.

I started testing. I changed titles, content, page structure, internal links and many other things. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it failed badly. But I learned. Fast.

I did not learn SEO from YouTube or a fancy course. I learned it by working on real websites, making mistakes, fixing them, and watching how Google reacted.

Even today, after so many years, I still personally check rankings, Google Search Console, website structure, page quality, competitor websites and lead performance. I have a small team now, but I am still hands-on. I like being involved.

Why Businesses Hire Me

Many clients come to me after trying SEO agencies. Some had reports but no results. Some had traffic but no leads. Some had backlinks but no real ranking improvement. Some did not even know what work was actually done on their website.

When you work with me, you directly speak with the person who understands the strategy and work. I don’t hide behind account managers. I don’t confuse clients with unnecessary technical words.

If something is wrong, I say it clearly. If a website needs time, I explain why. If a keyword is too competitive, I will not give fake confidence. If a better opportunity is available, I suggest that first.

SEO is not about impressing clients with big words. It is about doing the right work consistently.

Direct Communication

You discuss strategy and issues directly with me.

Practical SEO

I focus on actions that improve visibility and leads.

Experience

I have worked on websites since 1999.

No Fake Promises

I don’t promise impossible rankings in a few days.

SEO Services

  • Google Business Profile
  • Local citations
  • City and suburb pages
  • Review strategy

Technical SEO

I fix technical issues that stop Google from properly crawling, indexing or understanding your website.

  • Indexing issues
  • Core Web Vitals
  • Schema markup
  • Sitemap and redirects

On-Page SEO

I improve page structure, headings, titles, internal links, content quality and search intent alignment.

I work on Shopify, WooCommerce and custom eCommerce websites to improve product and category visibility.

  • Category SEO

  • Service pages
  • Blog strategy

Local SEO and Google Business Profile

Local SEO is one of my strongest areas. Many businesses don’t need worldwide traffic. They need calls, form enquiries, Google Maps visibility and customers from nearby locations.

For local SEO, I work on Google Business Profile categories, services, local keywords, citations, NAP consistency, reviews, service area pages, local schema and map pack tracking.

I have worked on suburb pages, city pages and service area pages for cleaning businesses, HVAC companies, doctors, consultants and other service businesses.

Local SEO works best when everything is consistent. Website content, Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, service pages and local signals should all support each other.

Local SEO Work Usually Includes

  • GBP optimisation
  • Service area setup
  • Local keyword research
  • Review strategy
  • Local citations
  • Location pages
  • Local schema
  • Map ranking checks
  • Photo and post ideas
  • NAP consistency

For many local businesses, improving Google Maps visibility can bring better leads than only focusing on normal organic rankings.

Technical SEO

Technical SEO is not glamorous, but it is very important. A website can have good content and still struggle because Google cannot crawl, index or understand it properly.

I check robots.txt, sitemap, canonical tags, redirects, Core Web Vitals, page speed, mobile usability, schema, duplicate content, thin pages, broken links and internal linking issues.

Many websites lose rankings not because the business is bad, but because the technical structure is weak. Sometimes a small technical fix can improve indexing. Sometimes the problem is deeper and needs proper cleanup.

Technical Area What I Check Why It Matters
IndexingNoindex, canonical, sitemap, robots.txtImportant pages should be indexed correctly.
CrawlabilityInternal links, blocked URLs, crawl pathsGoogle should be able to access key pages.
SpeedImages, scripts, Core Web VitalsBetter speed improves user experience.
SchemaLocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, ProductHelps search engines understand content.
Duplicate ContentSimilar pages, canonicals, URL parametersReduces confusion and cannibalisation.
Redirects301 chains, broken links, old URLsPreserves authority and improves UX.

Real Work Examples

SEO Case Study Style Examples

These examples show how I think and work. Results vary by website, competition and consistency.

Local Cleaning Business

Problem: The business wanted more enquiries from local suburbs. The website had service pages, but the content was too generic.

Work Done:

  • Suburb-specific pages
  • Google Business Profile updates
  • Local citations
  • Internal linking
  • Review strategy

Outcome: Local keyword visibility improved gradually. More suburbs started appearing in search results and the business began receiving better quality enquiries from local search.

Healthcare Website

Problem: The website was competing in a difficult medical niche with strong competitors.

Work Done:

  • Service page restructuring
  • FAQ expansion
  • Internal linking
  • Schema implementation
  • Patient-intent keywords

Outcome: Search visibility improved over time. Important service pages started getting more impressions and better organic reach.

eCommerce Website

Problem: The store had good products but weak organic traffic. Product pages were short and category pages were not properly optimised.

Work Done:

  • Category content
  • Product page improvements
  • Structured data
  • Internal links
  • Speed suggestions

Outcome: The site became better organised for search engines and users. Product discovery improved and the website became easier to scale.

My SEO Process

SEO is usually the result of many small improvements done consistently.

Step 1

Audit

I review technical, content, local SEO and conversion issues.

Step 2

Research

I study keywords, competitors, search intent and opportunities.

Step 3

Implementation

I work on on-page, technical, local SEO and content improvements.

Step 4

Tracking

I track rankings, clicks, leads, GBP actions and next opportunities.

Common SEO Problems I Fix

  • Pages not indexing properly
  • Traffic coming but no leads
  • Google Business Profile not ranking in maps
  • Duplicate or thin city pages
  • Slow website speed
  • Wrong keywords being targeted
  • Poor internal linking
  • Technical errors after redesign
  • Old SEO work done badly
  • Generic content that does not build trust

Why SEO Fails for Many Businesses

SEO fails when the strategy is not connected with business goals.

Many people chase high-volume keywords but ignore buyer-intent keywords. Some publish too much content but don’t optimise service pages. Some build backlinks but ignore technical issues. Some focus only on rankings and forget conversion.

SEO should bring enquiries, calls, sales and visibility. Ranking for random keywords is not enough.

That is why I always look at the bigger picture.

My 90-Day Working Approach

First 30 Days

Audit, tracking, technical checks, keyword mapping and quick wins.

Day 30 to 60

On-page SEO, content improvements, local SEO, GBP and internal linking.

Day 60 to 90

Review ranking movement, Search Console data, lead quality and next opportunities.

Some niches move faster. Some take more time. But after 90 days, we should at least see clear direction, completed improvements and measurable learning.

My Promise

I don’t promise overnight rankings. I don’t promise fake results.

What I promise is honest work, personal attention, clear communication and practical SEO.

I have a small team of writers, developers and designers who help me execute work, but I stay involved in planning and quality checking.

If I take a project, I treat it seriously. Small project or big project, I give the same attention.

Simple Working Style

  • No fake guarantees
  • No spammy backlinks
  • No confusing reports
  • Clear action plan
  • Focus on leads, not only rankings
  • Direct communication
FAQs

Advanced SEO FAQs

These are the questions I usually hear from business owners before starting SEO work.

SEO usually takes time. Some technical fixes may show impact within a few weeks, but strong and stable results generally take 3 to 6 months or more depending on competition, website age, content quality and current issues.

No honest SEO professional can guarantee a fixed ranking because Google controls search results. I focus on improving visibility, content quality, technical health and lead generation.

No. I am based in Delhi, India, but I work with clients from India, Australia, USA, UK, Singapore, Canada and other countries.

Yes, if the right keywords, pages and conversion path are used. Traffic alone is not enough. The page should attract people who are ready to enquire or buy.

It depends on your requirement. If you want direct communication, personal attention and flexible execution, a freelance SEO expert can be a better fit.

Yes. I work on GBP categories, services, posts, photos, reviews, citations, local pages and map visibility.

Yes. I check robots.txt, sitemap, canonical tags, noindex tags, crawl issues, internal links and Search Console reports to identify why pages are not indexing.

Yes, but quality matters more than quantity. I avoid spammy backlink practices and focus on relevant, safe authority signals.

Yes. I work on Shopify, WooCommerce and custom eCommerce websites, including category SEO, product SEO, schema and technical cleanup.

Yes. Website redesign can affect rankings if redirects, URLs, content and metadata are not handled properly. I can audit and fix post-redesign SEO issues.

Yes. I help plan and create SEO-friendly content, but I prefer content that sounds natural and useful, not keyword-stuffed.

I track rankings, impressions, clicks, leads, phone calls, form submissions, Google Business Profile actions, conversion rate and visibility growth.

Yes. I work with agencies as a white-label or backend SEO consultant for their client projects.

Yes. Reports can include rankings, Search Console data, work completed, improvements, issues and next action points.

I have strong experience with local service businesses, healthcare, cleaning companies, consultants, eCommerce, travel, education and professional services.

Yes. I focus on structured content, entity clarity, FAQs, schema, author trust and helpful content that can support both Google and AI search discovery.

No. I avoid risky shortcuts. Short-term tricks can damage a website in the long run.

Yes. A one-time SEO audit is often the best starting point before monthly SEO work.

I try to write from experience. I add examples, local context, customer situations and practical explanations instead of generic SEO text.

It depends on website size and competition. Some websites need heavy technical work first. Others need content and local SEO. Some need authority building.

I can improve Google Maps visibility through GBP optimisation, reviews, local citations, service pages and local relevance signals.

Then the issue may be wrong intent, weak landing pages, poor CTA, bad page structure or irrelevant keywords. I check the full conversion path.

Yes. I work on WordPress SEO regularly, including custom themes, page structure, speed, schema, indexing and content optimisation.

Sometimes yes, depending on the reason. I check algorithm impact, technical changes, content loss, backlink issues, indexing problems and competitor movement.

Simple: understand the business, fix what is broken, create useful content, build trust and keep improving consistently.
