Disclaimer

Articles and guides here are general information about search engine optimisation and web development. They are written from real engagements, but they are not advice tailored to your site, your market or your circumstances.

What works for a Bangalore SaaS company and what works for a Delhi retailer are different, and a page cannot know which you are. Before acting on anything here in a way that carries commercial risk, get the situation looked at properly.

Search changes constantly. Something accurate when written can be wrong eighteen months later, and this is a field where confidently outdated advice circulates for years. Pages carry a last updated date so you can judge for yourself.

Where a figure is cited, the source is named so you can check it. Where something is my assessment rather than an established fact, it is written as an assessment. If you find something here that is wrong, tell me and I will correct it.

The tools run genuine checks and report what they find. They are diagnostic aids, not audits. A tool can tell you that a problem exists; it cannot weigh that problem against everything else on your site, and reading a list of issues in priority order is a judgement a tool does not make.

Where a tool cannot determine something, it says so rather than estimating. Proprietary third party metrics such as Moz Domain Authority are not calculated or approximated here, because any free tool that shows you one without calling that API is inventing it.

This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Those ads are selected by Google based on the page content and, unless you have opted out, on your browsing history. I do not choose which advertisers appear, and their presence is not a recommendation.

Where a tool, product or company is named on this site, it is named because it is relevant, not because of a commercial arrangement. If that ever changes on a given page, the page will say so at the point of mention rather than in a footer nobody reads.

Companies listed in comparison content are described from their own published positioning. Being listed is not an endorsement, and no company has paid to appear.

Results described in case studies happened for those clients under those conditions. They are not typical, not promised, and not transferable. Anyone in this industry quoting you a guaranteed ranking or a guaranteed traffic multiple is either misinformed or selling you something.
