What's in a typical SEO package?

A handful of keywords, backlinks and a monthly report. The packages track 5 to 15 keywords , most often 5. Of the 7 agencies, 4 include backlinks , 3 a monthly report and 2 blog posts. Only 2 include work on your Google Business Profile.

What packages rarely mention is what stops customers from getting in touch. When LankaRankBot, our checker, read 1,246 working Sri Lankan business websites, 76% had no WhatsApp button, 41% had no Google Maps link, 53% didn't name their town where Google looks, and 62% gave Google no business details. Ranking for five keywords helps less when a visitor can't reach you in one tap.

One-off audit or monthly package?

Start with an audit, so you know what you're paying to fix. Sri Lankan agencies offer three kinds:

  • A free audit, as a first step to a package. 4 of the 7 agencies offer one. It usually comes after a contact form or a call and takes 3–5 working days.
  • A paid one-off audit, about Rs 45,000 for a full audit with a 90-day plan.
  • Freelance audits on Fiverr, from US$15 to US$195.

Many of these audits are run with global SEO tools, which count technical warnings written for large international websites. LankaRankBot, our checker, was built and tested on Sri Lankan business websites. It starts with whether customers can reach you, and compares your site with 1,246 others. It's free, takes about a minute and needs no call. Check your website.

Is SEO free?

The basics can be. A Google Business Profile and Google Search Console cost nothing, and many fixes on your own website, such as adding a WhatsApp button or a Google Maps link, take time rather than money. You pay when someone else does the work, or for the harder work that comes after.

How much does local SEO cost?

Few Sri Lankan agencies price it separately. Local SEO means showing up when people search for a business near them or name a town, as in "dental clinic kandy". 2 of the 7 cheapest packages include work on your Google Business Profile, the listing Google shows in Maps and local results. Whether or not you have a website, check your Google profile first. It's free.

What to ask before you sign an SEO package

Six questions, so you know what you're paying for.

  1. Is there a minimum term? 1 of the 7 published packages states one; ask before you pay the first month.
  2. Do you promise a ranking? Walk away if they do. Google's advice on hiring an SEO says no one can guarantee a #1 ranking.
  3. Which keywords, and do people search them? Ask for the monthly search numbers. Sinhala-script searches rarely have any.
  4. What will you fix in the first month? The answer should start with what stops customers from contacting you.
  5. Will the Google accounts stay mine? Your Google Business Profile, Search Console and Analytics should be in your name. Google suggests giving an SEO read-only access to Search Console at first.
  6. What's in the monthly report? Calls, WhatsApp messages and visits are worth more than a list of keyword positions.

More questions about SEO prices

How much does an SEO specialist cost in Sri Lanka?

Freelance SEO specialists charge about Rs 10,000–45,000 a month, going by published Sri Lankan price guides. A one-off audit from a Sri Lankan seller on Fiverr costs US$15–195. Agencies charge more: typically Rs 39,000 a month for their cheapest package. Prices checked 13 October 2026.

Who is the best SEO expert in Sri Lanka?

There's no independent ranking of SEO experts in Sri Lanka, and "#1" claims on agency websites are their own. Judge an expert by what they publish: a clear price, no ranking guarantee, no long minimum term, and reports that count calls and messages from customers, not only keyword positions.

How long does SEO take to work?

Months, not weeks. Google's own advice to business owners says most SEO work needs four months to a year to make changes and then show results. Some fixes work faster: a customer can use a new WhatsApp button the day it goes live.

Are cheap SEO packages worth it?

Judge a package by what it fixes, not by its price or the number of keywords. If your website has no WhatsApp button, no Google Maps link and doesn't say which town you serve, fixing those usually matters more than monthly backlinks.

Can anyone guarantee a #1 ranking on Google?

No. Google's own advice to business owners says: "No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google." Be wary of anyone who promises one.

Should SEO keywords be in Sinhala?

Usually not on their own. Google's keyword data for Sri Lanka showed measurable searches for 4 of 8 common Singlish searches and 4 of 4 Tamil ones, but 0 of 10 in Sinhala script. Ask for the search numbers before you pay to rank for a keyword.

Many of the basics, yes, once you know what needs fixing. That's what our free check is for: it lists the problems on your website in plain English, most important first, and explains your top fix step by step for free.
