Web designer vs SEO: do you need both?
Yes, but not from two different people. A website that is designed without SEO usually has to be partly rebuilt later. Nikhil Soman is also an SEO expert in Trivandrum, so page structure, headings, internal links and schema are planned for Google and AI search from the first wireframe.
Nikhil Soman’s project promises
- Written scope of work before every project, so price, pages and features are agreed in writing
