SEO Services for US Businesses

Why a US business would hire an SEO team in India

Most US business owners come to us for one reason: US agency retainers are expensive and the person actually doing the work is rarely the person who sold you the contract. Typical US SEO retainers run $2,500 to $10,000 a month, and a big chunk of that pays for sales overhead and account management layers, not hands-on-keyboard SEO. We strip that out. You work directly with the people writing the content briefs, building the links, and fixing the technical issues.

What we actually do

SEO for a US business isn't one service, it's a stack of them working together. We handle technical SEO audits and fixes, content strategy and briefs, on-page optimization, link building, and increasingly, GEO - making sure your brand shows up when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity a question instead of typing it into Google. If you're a multi-location business, local SEO and Google Business Profile management usually matter more than anything else we do. And if paid and organic need to work together, we run Google Ads and Meta Ads alongside the SEO work rather than treating them as separate vendors.

For businesses that need a new site or a rebuild, we also do web development with SEO built into the architecture from day one, not bolted on after launch. That matters more than most agencies admit - we've seen sites relaunch with a shinier design and lose half their rankings because nobody thought about redirects or URL structure.

Work we've actually done

We don't invent case studies, so here's what we can honestly point to. We ran a full-funnel engagement for Medkart, a 100+ store generic pharmacy chain in India, covering website SEO, app ASO, local SEO, Google Ads, and Meta Ads together as one system rather than separate line items. For Katlax, an industrial connectors and automation manufacturer, we handled international SEO across 36+ countries, which meant getting hreflang, currency targeting, and regional content strategy right at scale. We also built and ran local SEO for a law firm operating across four Indian metros - the same playbook that applies directly to a US firm with multiple office locations. None of this is US-specific by geography, but the scope and complexity is exactly what a growing US business runs into.

Working across the time difference

IST is 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead of US Eastern and Pacific time depending on daylight saving, which sounds like a problem until you actually schedule around it. Our mornings in India land in US late evening, so instead of forcing calls at 6am your time, we shift part of our team to a 6:30pm-11:30pm IST window. That gives us a solid block overlapping with 9am-2pm ET, which covers most US business hours on the East Coast and extends further for Central and Pacific clients. Async work - reports, content drafts, technical fixes - runs overnight on our end, so you typically wake up to progress rather than a stalled queue. We cover this pattern in more depth in our piece on the timezone advantage of Indian agencies, including how it compares to working with a US-based team where everyone's asleep at the same time.

What it costs, roughly

We don't quote a flat number because SEO pricing depends on site size, competitiveness, and how many services you're bundling. What we can say is that our pricing sits consistently 40-60% below what you'd pay a comparable US agency for the same scope of work, and we break that down further in what SEO actually costs in the US in 2026. If you're weighing outsourcing against hiring in-house or sticking with a local agency, our guide to outsourcing SEO to India walks through the tradeoffs honestly, including the parts that are genuinely harder to manage remotely.

Getting started

We start every new US engagement with an audit so you know exactly what's broken before we propose a plan - no generic 90-day promise, no vague "we'll grow your traffic" pitch. If that sounds like how you want to work, email us at hello@tikbo.in or head to our contact page and tell us what you're working with.
