Technical SEO, fixed in the code
If Google cannot crawl, render and understand your pages, no amount of content will rank them. We find the technical problems holding your site back and fix them directly, from server configuration to template code.

I'm a tech lead in Colombo who has spent years building and running web and telecom platforms. I've configured the servers, Kubernetes clusters and cloud infrastructure that websites run on, so I know exactly where search engines get stuck.
I started SEOguru.lk to give Sri Lankan businesses SEO that is honest about what it costs, what it takes and what it delivers. You work with me directly, not an account manager.

SEO questions Sri Lankan businesses ask
Straight answers on cost, timing and what SEO can and can't promise.
How much does SEO cost in Sri Lanka?
Most small and medium businesses spend between LKR 40,000 and LKR 150,000 a month. Our plans start at LKR 45,000 a month, and a one-time audit costs LKR 35,000.
How long does SEO take to show results?
Technical fixes can lift traffic within weeks. New rankings for competitive keywords usually take 3 to 6 months. We set monthly targets so you can judge progress.
Can you guarantee the number one position on Google?
No. Nobody controls Google's rankings, and anyone who guarantees position one is taking a risk with your site. We commit to the work, the targets and transparent reporting.
Do you do SEO for Sinhala and Tamil searches?
Yes. We research keywords in all three languages and set up the site so Google shows the right language version to each searcher.
Will you work on my WordPress, Shopify or custom site?
Yes. We work directly in WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify and custom stacks like React, Next.js and Laravel, and on the hosting underneath.
Do I need to sign a long contract?
No. All plans are month to month with 30 days' notice. The 6-month plan is optional and saves 10%.
Can I pay online?
Yes. You can pay for an audit or a plan by card or other methods through PayHere, Sri Lanka's payment gateway, or by bank transfer.
