How I Work — My SEO Process for Delhi Businesses From Audit to Results
Sandeep Mehta SEO Company follows a structured SEO process built on audit-first strategy, well-researched content, quality link building, and monthly reporting with Google Search Console data. Every engagement starts with a free SEO audit, and the strategy adapts every month based on performance data and your feedback. No fixed templates, no long-term contracts.
This methodology has delivered 325K organic clicks for a healthcare practice, 62.3K for a hosting company, and 52K for a recruitment firm — every number verified through Google Search Console.
What Does Working With Me Look Like?
Every engagement follows the same structure — free audit, custom strategy, month 1 foundation work, then ongoing optimisation with monthly reporting. You know exactly what is happening at every stage because I share everything before doing it.
Free SEO Audit
You submit your website. I analyse it across technical SEO, on-page content, backlink health, and competitive landscape using Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, and Google Search Console. You receive a prioritised report within 5 working days — no obligation, no sales pitch.
Custom Strategy Proposal
Based on the audit findings, I propose a custom plan — what needs to change, in what order, expected timelines, and pricing. The plan is shaped by your niche, competition level, target keywords, and business goals. You approve before any paid work begins.
Foundation Work
Technical fixes come first. Site speed, indexing issues, schema markup, XML sitemap, Core Web Vitals. On-page optimisation — meta titles, descriptions, heading structure, internal linking. Keyword mapping — which pages target which search queries with no overlap. Local SEO groundwork and Google Business Profile optimisation for businesses serving nearby customers.
If your site runs on WordPress, I handle technical work directly. For custom-built sites, I coordinate with your developer. If you do not have a developer and the changes are major, additional cost applies — stated upfront before work begins.
Ongoing Execution
Content writing — well-researched pages and blog posts targeting specific search queries your customers use. Quality backlink building adapted monthly based on performance. On-page updates based on what Google Search Console data shows is gaining impressions but not converting to clicks. Google Business Profile management — monthly posts, review responses, photo and description updates.
How Does the Monthly Strategy Adjustment Work?
Before starting work every month, I connect with you to understand your feedback, discuss business priorities, and analyse the previous month's performance in Google Search Console. The strategy adapts based on what the data and your business tell us — not locked into a plan that was written 6 months ago.
If a content topic is not gaining traction, we pivot. If a competitor makes a move — new pages, new backlinks, new locations — we respond. If your business priorities change (new service, new location, seasonal push), the SEO approach adjusts immediately. This is why content and backlink volumes are not fixed to arbitrary numbers. The work responds to what the data shows each month.
At the end of every month you receive a written report: content published, backlinks built, and Google Search Console traffic screenshots showing actual performance. At the same time I share the next month's strategy — topics, pages, and planned work. Fully transparent reporting, no surprises.
What Should You Expect in the First 6 Months?
Months 1 and 2 are foundation work — technical fixes, content creation, initial authority building. First movement in positions and impressions typically appears by month 3 to 4. Significant organic traffic growth happens within 6 to 12 months.
Foundation Phase
Technical issues fixed. Schema markup implemented. Content strategy mapped. First content pieces published. Google Business Profile optimised. Backlink building started. Traffic numbers may not move yet — this is normal. Google needs time to recrawl and reindex.
First Movement
Pages begin ranking in positions 8 to 20 for target keywords. Impressions increase in Google Search Console. Content programme is generating visibility for consideration-stage queries. Local Pack appearances for target localities if applicable.
Acceleration
Rankings consolidate into top 5 to 10 positions for core keywords. Click volume increases month on month. Content and backlinks compound — each new piece strengthens everything published before it. Enquiries and leads from organic search become consistent.
Compounding Growth
This is where the real return appears. Topical authority builds across your content network. Rankings strengthen for competitive keywords. Organic traffic becomes a reliable channel for enquiries. The healthcare case study reached 325K total clicks at month 11 — that growth started with the same foundation phase described above.
What Tools Do I Use and Why?
I use Screaming Frog for technical crawl analysis, Ahrefs for backlink and competitor research, Google Search Console for real performance data, and Google Analytics for traffic behaviour. These are the same tools used by top SEO professionals globally — not proprietary dashboards that obscure what is actually happening.
Screaming Frog
Technical crawl of your entire site. Identifies indexing issues, broken links, duplicate content, missing meta tags, redirect chains, and site structure problems that prevent Google from understanding your pages.
Ahrefs
Backlink profile analysis, keyword research, content gap identification, and competitor monitoring. Shows exactly where competitors get their backlinks from, what content ranks for them, and where the opportunities are for your site.
Google Search Console
The source of truth for all reporting. Actual clicks, impressions, click-through rate, and average positions — directly from Google. Not estimates, not tool approximations. Every number in your monthly report comes from here.
Google Analytics
Traffic sources, user behaviour, page performance, and conversion tracking. Shows what visitors do after they land on your site — which pages they visit, how long they stay, and whether they convert into enquiries.
How Is This Different From Agencies You Have Tried Before?
Most agencies give you a junior account manager, automated reports, and a fixed plan that never adapts. I give you direct access to a 10+ year SEO specialist, manual Google Search Console reporting, and a strategy that changes every month based on real data.
No Junior Account Managers
You communicate directly with the person doing the work. No layers between your feedback and the execution. When you ask a question about your rankings, the person answering is the person who built the strategy.
GSC Data, Not Tool Estimates
Every number in your monthly report comes from Google Search Console — real clicks, real impressions, real positions. Not third-party tool estimates that can be off by 40 to 60 percent.
Strategy Adapts Monthly
The plan is not locked into what was written on day one. Competition changes. Google updates happen. Your business priorities shift. The SEO strategy responds to all of this every single month.
No Long-Term Contracts
Month to month. You stay because results justify it, not because a contract forces it. I recommend 4 to 6 months to see meaningful results, but you are never locked in.
Honest About Limitations
If SEO is not the right channel for your business right now — if paid ads would deliver faster ROI in your timeline, or if your website needs a rebuild before SEO makes sense — I will tell you directly rather than take a retainer for work that will not move the needle.
What Happens if the Results Are Not Coming?
I share Google Search Console data every month so we both see exactly what is working and what is not. If a content strategy is not producing movement after 3 to 4 months of consistent execution, I adjust the approach — different keyword targets, different content angles, different link building priorities.
SEO is not a guarantee. No ethical consultant can promise specific rankings. But the data tells a clear story. If impressions are growing, positions are improving, and clicks are increasing month on month — the process is working even if it has not peaked yet. If the data shows no movement despite consistent work, I will have an honest conversation about whether to pivot the strategy or whether SEO is the right investment for your business at this stage.
There are no long-term contracts. If you are not seeing value, you can stop at any time. That is the accountability that keeps the work honest.
What Results Has This Process Delivered?
The same structured process — audit, strategy, monthly execution, GSC reporting — produced these results. Every number is from Google Search Console.
Questions About My SEO Process
How often will I hear from you?
Monthly at minimum — the written report and next month strategy. Before starting work each month, I connect with you to discuss feedback and priorities. For Growth and Enterprise plans, communication is more frequent with quarterly strategy reviews and monthly calls.
Can I see a sample of the monthly report?
The report includes content published that month, backlinks built, Google Search Console screenshots showing clicks, impressions, CTR, and average positions, plus the next month's planned strategy. I can share a redacted sample during the audit discussion.
What if I already have a developer — do you work with them?
Yes. For technical SEO implementation on custom-built sites, I prepare detailed briefs and coordinate with your developer directly. If your site runs on WordPress, I handle most technical changes without needing developer involvement.
Do you work with businesses outside Delhi?
Yes. While I am based in Janakpuri, New Delhi, I work with businesses across India and internationally. The recruitment case study (52K clicks) was for a staffing company operating in Ireland, Kuwait, and Germany. SEO work is remote by nature.
Can I pause the engagement and resume later?
Yes. Since there are no long-term contracts, you can pause and resume based on your business needs. Keep in mind that SEO momentum builds over time — pausing for extended periods means some ground may need to be recovered when you restart.
What is the difference between your process and automated SEO tools?
Automated tools identify issues. I identify opportunities. A tool can flag that your site speed is slow. It cannot tell you that your competitor ranking above you has built 14 more topically relevant pages targeting the same keyword cluster. Strategy requires human analysis — tools provide the data for it.
