The problem
Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand Howrah?
Rankings, but no calls
Many agencies chase national blog traffic. Restaurants in Howrah need people close by searching "best restaurants", not readers from the other end of the country.
Losing "near me" searches
Diners compare photos, menus and ratings on Google and Zomato in seconds before choosing.
Messy listings and schema
Different addresses or phone numbers on Google, Zomato and old directories confuse Google and push your restaurant down the map in Salkia.
Rising cost per lead
Ratings drop quickly after a few bad reviews if replies are slow. Paying per click for every Howrah lead gets expensive fast.
How we work
How we do local SEO for restaurants.
Google Business Profile optimisation
Google ranks map results on relevance, distance and prominence. We fix your restaurant's profile so it is eligible to rank across Howrah.
- Primary category set to “Restaurant”, with tested secondary categories
- Name, address and phone made identical everywhere
- Duplicate or unclaimed listings found and merged
- Services, photos and weekly posts aimed at Belur and Shibpur
- LocalBusiness schema with exact coordinates on your site
If Google sees conflicting details, it drops the listing from the 3-pack rather than risk showing wrong information.
