SEO services — for Google, and for the AI answers replacing it
Search changed in 2026. Ranking first is worth less than it was, because a growing share of searches are answered on the results page itself. We do the traditional SEO agency work properly — technical, content, local SEO, links — and the newer work of getting you cited inside AI answers, which is where the attention is moving.
In one paragraph
The Tech Genius is an SEO agency registered in India providing SEO services — technical SEO, content, local SEO and link acquisition — plus generative engine optimisation, for businesses in India, the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, the UAE and New Zealand. Retainers are priced per market and published on this page, with a six-month minimum sensible engagement.
Starts at
₹40,000/mo- Technical foundation
- Keyword and intent mapping
- Content that answers the question
- Generative engine optimisation (GEO)
Fixed quote before anything starts. Retainers on 30 days’ notice.
Being found now means being cited, as well as ranked
On searches that trigger an AI Overview, organic click-through has fallen dramatically — some measurements put it as low as 0.61%. Being quoted inside that answer is now worth more than the blue link beneath it. Most SEO agencies are still selling you the blue link.
What you get
Technical foundation
Crawlability, indexation, site speed, Core Web Vitals, schema, internal linking. Unglamorous and foundational — everything else builds on it.
Keyword and intent mapping
We find the terms with buying intent you can realistically win, and say plainly which head terms — the ones owned by McKinsey — would burn your budget.
Content that answers the question
Written to satisfy the search, at whatever length that takes. Direct-answer structure, because that is what gets extracted into AI responses.
Generative engine optimisation (GEO)
Entity and schema work, and brand-mention building. Unlinked brand mentions now correlate with AI citation far more strongly than backlinks do — 0.664 against 0.218 — so we build mentions as well as links.
Digital PR and link acquisition
Earned placements and genuine outreach only, so every link strengthens your domain rather than putting it at risk for a short-term bump.
Reporting that shows the truth
Rankings, traffic, conversions and AI-citation tracking. If a month goes badly you will hear it from us first, with the reason.
Who this is for
- Businesses whose traffic has fallen since AI Overviews launched
- Companies with a good site that nobody finds
- Ecommerce brands competing on product searches
- B2B firms with long sales cycles and high deal values
When we’d tell you to hold off
If you need leads this month, SEO is the wrong purchase. It compounds, and compounding takes time. We would rather sell you a better website and paid campaigns first.
Retainers run ₹40,000 to ₹1,50,000 per month by scope and competitiveness. One-off technical audits start at ₹35,000. Minimum sensible engagement is six months — that is how long compounding takes.
Retainers on 30 days’ notice. Your invoice matches your quote.
SEO — your questions
How long until I see results?
On a new domain, realistically four to six months for first movement and six to twelve for compounding traffic. An established site with existing authority moves faster. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either misleading you or planning to churn you.
What is GEO, and do I need it?
Generative engine optimisation — getting your business cited inside answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google's AI Overviews. You need it if your buyers have started asking AI assistants for recommendations, which in most sectors they have. It shares most of its foundation with good SEO, so it comes inside the same retainer.
Do you offer local SEO services?
Yes. Google Business Profile, local citations, location pages that say something true about each place, and review handling for businesses that sell in a defined area. Local SEO sits inside the retainer where it fits, and is available as a smaller standalone engagement.
How much does SEO cost per month?
The retainer range for your market is on this page — ₹40,000 to ₹1,50,000 in India, $1,200 to $6,000 in the US. Anything well under that usually cannot fund the content and outreach the work needs. We have written SEO cost guides for the US, the UK and Australia on the blog.
Can I hire an SEO expert rather than an agency?
People searching 'hire SEO expert' are usually hoping to skip the agency layer, and in practice you are hiring one — the person who scopes the work does it, and you get them by name. What an SEO company adds on top is the content production and outreach that one expert cannot do alone.
Do you guarantee rankings?
What we guarantee is the work: what we will do, when, and reporting honest enough that you can judge whether it is working. Rankings themselves sit with Google's algorithm, which is outside anyone's control — so anyone guaranteeing them is guessing.
Should I add llms.txt to my site?
It costs ten minutes, so we add it. Google has confirmed it has zero effect on rankings, and evidence that it drives AI citations is yet to appear. Anyone selling llms.txt as a strategy is selling you a file.
