Even if your agency isn’t in Mumbai/Delhi/Bangalore, you can1 still rank and get clients. Here’s how:
- Don’t limit yourself to one city Instead of targeting just your small city, aim for:
“Digital marketing agency India”
“SEO services for small businesses online”
“Social media marketing services for startups”
These are location-independent keywords (clients from anywhere can work with you since your work is online).
- Create location-based landing pages (even for big cities) Example: Create pages like:
/digital-marketing-agency-mumbai/
/digital-marketing-agency-delhi/
/digital-marketing-agency-bangalore/
You don’t need to have an office there → you can position yourself as “We provide digital marketing services PAN India, including clients from [City]”.
Many agencies do this — it’s called “city page SEO”.
- Use “near me” and generic intent People search “digital marketing agency near me”.
If your Google Business Profile is optimized, you can still show up locally.
- Target niche + service-based keywords instead of only city-based Example:
“SEO services for doctors in India”
“Social media marketing for yoga teachers”
“Affordable PPC management for startups”
These bring clients from any location, not just metro cities.
✅ Action Plan for You Primary focus:
Non-location long-tail service keywords (e.g., “affordable digital marketing agency for small business”).
Secondary focus: Create city-based pages for 4–5 big cities to capture searchers typing city names.
Local setup: Create/verify Google Business Profile for your real location, so you also capture local leads.
