SEO for small businesses that serve local customers
Hostlyx provides SEO for small businesses that sell in one town, city or region: Google Business Profile, local service pages, citations and the site fixes behind them. Our team works from Bengaluru, India, and also builds websites, so changes get made directly. US clients pay a fixed monthly fee in USD by card through Stripe.
Local SEO for a small business is mostly unglamorous work done consistently: an accurate Google Business Profile, a page for each service and area you cover, the same name, address and phone number across directories, and a site that loads fast on a phone. Many SEO companies for small business sell the report and leave the fixes to you.
Hostlyx builds websites as well, so we make the changes. Our team is in Bengaluru, India, and we never pretend to be down the street. We work from your real business details and the areas you actually serve, and you approve every page and profile change. That matters, because a Business Profile with wrong details can be suspended, and fixing that takes far longer than getting it right.
You pay a fixed monthly fee in US dollars, invoiced by Zorixo Ventures Ltd, a UK company, by card through Stripe. Reports are in plain English and show calls, direction requests and form inquiries, not only rankings. If you also want ads or a new website, the same team handles them, so local pages, ads and profile all point customers to the same place.
Why US businesses choose us
Built for small budgets
Indian delivery cost means a small business can afford consistent monthly work instead of a one-off audit. The fee is fixed in USD and agreed in writing.
Google Business Profile first
For local searches the map results often matter more than the website. We tidy categories, services, photos and posts on your profile, which stays in your name.
Real locations only
We build pages for areas you genuinely serve and use your real address details. No fake offices or doorway pages that risk your listing.
Website fixes by the same team
Slow pages, missing service pages and broken forms are fixed by us directly, because we build and host websites too.
Leads, not just rankings
Monthly reports show calls, direction requests and inquiries alongside rankings, so you can judge the work by the business that comes in.

Guides for US buyers
Questions people ask
How much does SEO cost for a small business?
It depends on how many services and areas you cover and how competitive they are locally. We quote a fixed monthly fee in USD after a local audit, with the monthly work listed, so you know what you are paying for and can stop if it is not working.
Can an SEO company in India do local SEO for a US business?
Yes. Local SEO works from your real business details, your Google Business Profile and your website, none of which require us to be in your town. We are open that our team is in Bengaluru, and you approve every change to your profile and pages.
Who owns my Google Business Profile and accounts?
You do. Your Business Profile, Search Console and Analytics stay in your name, and we are added as managers or users. You can remove our access at any time without losing anything.
Will you guarantee a top 3 spot in Google Maps?
No. Map rankings depend on distance from the searcher, relevance and prominence, and Google controls all three. We commit to the work and report honestly on calls, direction requests and inquiries each month.
How do we stay in touch with the time difference?
Bengaluru is 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead of US Eastern. Most work happens in writing by email and shared documents, with calls booked in your morning. Changes you send in your afternoon are worked on during your night.
