Question 1

Do you guarantee first-page rankings?

Accepted Answer

No — and no honest agency can. Google and the AI engines control their own results; an agency controls its inputs: the fixes shipped, the content published, the links earned, the reporting that shows whether it's working. That's what we guarantee — the deliverables and the process, in writing, with weekly sprint targets you see in advance. Treat “guaranteed #1 on Google” as the red flag it is: it either means a meaningless easy keyword, a private ad buy dressed as SEO, or a refund clause you'll fight to use. We'd rather lose the prospects who want that promise than become the agency that makes it.

Question 2

Is your SEO white-hat? Will an update hurt my site?

Accepted Answer

Everything we do is Google-guidelines-compliant: no PBNs, no bought bulk links, no cloaking, no AI-generated spam at scale. Part of our regular work is auditing backlink profiles and cleaning up after agencies that took shortcuts — we've seen exactly what those shortcuts cost, which is the most convincing reason not to sell them. No one can promise an algorithm update will never touch your numbers; what compliant, quality-first work buys you is resilience — sites built on real content and legitimately earned authority historically recover from updates, while sites built on schemes are what updates exist to catch.

Question 3

Do you handle local SEO?

Accepted Answer

Yes, where your business is local: Google Business Profile optimization, location-page structure, NAP consistency across directories, and a review strategy are part of the checklist system every plan runs on — the work simply weights toward local items when local intent is where your customers are. If you serve one city, your plan's keyword targets and on-page work aim at “near me” and “[service] in [city]” queries rather than national head terms. The audit tells you which game you're actually in before you pick a plan.

Question 4

How is PalV's DM different from other SEO agencies?

Accepted Answer

Four structural differences, all verifiable on this website: prices are published (every plan and one-time service, in ₹, no quote calls); you work founder-direct on WhatsApp — the person replying is the person doing the work; every engagement runs on a documented workbook system rather than an account manager's mood; and we practice both search surfaces — Google rankings and AI-answer citations — including on this site itself. None of those is a claim about being “better.” They're operating decisions you can check before spending a rupee, which is precisely the point.

Question 5

What kinds of websites do you take on?

Accepted Answer

Platform-wise: WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, and custom builds — the crawl-first method works on anything publicly accessible, and recommendations are written for your actual stack. Size-wise: each plan states its page caps openly, so a 15-page startup site fits Foundation while a 200-page store needs Growth or above; the audit maps this before you commit. We say no to one thing: engagements where the honest audit finding is that SEO isn't your best next spend.
