SEO that gets your business found on Google and Yandex — work starts after the site is live
What you get
-
Technical SEO audit of the live site
A line-by-line report of what is hurting your rankings on Google and Yandex right now — crawl errors, broken canonicals, slow Core Web Vitals, missing hreflang. Specific to the Azerbaijani market: we check both Google.az and Yandex search behaviour, not just the English-language playbook.
-
Keyword map in AZ, RU and EN
A spreadsheet that ties each commercial page to a primary search phrase plus two or three supporting phrases, by language. For a Baku business that sells in three languages, that is usually 60–120 mapped phrases, not one global list.
-
On-page optimisation across the site
Titles, descriptions, H1s, internal linking, schema markup (Organization, LocalBusiness, Product, Article where relevant). Implemented in your codebase or CMS, not handed over as a PDF for someone else to do.
-
Google Business Profile and Yandex Business setup
Both registries matter for Baku — Google for the diaspora and tourists, Yandex for local-language search. Photos, categories, services, opening hours, language variants, and review-response templates.
-
Monthly performance report
Position tracking for the mapped keyword set, organic traffic, conversion events from organic. A short written read of what moved and why — not a 40-page automated dump.
How we approach it
1. Audit and benchmark
Weeks one and two are diagnosis. We crawl the site, pull current rankings on Google.az and Yandex, check Search Console and Yandex Webmaster, and benchmark against three real competitors in your category.
2. Keyword map and content plan
We agree the primary search phrases per page across AZ, RU and EN. Where pages are missing — for example a category page that should exist to capture 'seo audit website' — we write the brief.
3. On-page implementation
Metadata, headings, internal links, schema, image alt text, hreflang. Done inside your codebase, with a clean git diff your developers can review.
4. Off-page and local
Google Business Profile and Yandex Business cleaned up. Citations on relevant Azerbaijani directories. Disavow toxic backlinks if the audit found any.
5. Ongoing — monthly cycle
Every month after launch we publish one or two pieces of indexed content, track movement, and adjust. SEO compounds; the first three months rarely show the real curve.
When not to hire us for this
- Your site is not built yet — SEO work starts after the site is live, otherwise we are optimising a moving target.
- You want guaranteed ranking on a specific phrase by a specific date — nobody in this market can honestly promise that, and we will not.
- Your real goal is paid traffic next week — that is Google Ads or Yandex Direct, not SEO.
- You are not willing to publish new content over the next 6–12 months — without fresh pages indexed, on-page fixes plateau quickly.

Site redesign and Azerbaijan SEO that hit Top 10 — Stellar.az
Stellar.az had a public site that no longer carried the brand's category authority and a search presence that was being lapped by less serious competitors. We rebuilt the site from the ground up and took the target keywords into the Top…

Official Azerbaijan presence and product catalogue for Tiens.az
Tiens needed an official Azerbaijan page that handled the brand presence, the product catalogue, and search in one coherent surface. We delivered site architecture, the catalogue, and SEO together.
Frequently asked questions
How much does SEO cost in Baku?
Honest range for a serious engagement: 800–2,500 AZN per month, depending on site size, language count and how much content production is included. Anyone selling SEO for 200 AZN per month is selling automated reports, not work.
How long until I rank on Google?
First movement on long-tail commercial phrases is usually 6–10 weeks. Competitive head terms — 'seo baku', 'mobile app development baku' — take 4–8 months of consistent work. Anyone promising faster is either lying or churning low-value traffic.
Do you do SEO for Yandex as well as Google?
Yes. In Azerbaijan, Yandex still owns meaningful Russian-language search share, especially for older buyers and certain categories. We track and optimise for both, including Yandex Webmaster and Yandex Business.
Can you fix my existing site's SEO without rebuilding it?
Often, yes. If your site is a reasonable modern stack — even WordPress — we can do on-page, schema, performance and content work in place. We only push for a rebuild when the platform itself is the blocker (slow PHP, no hreflang support, no edit access).
What's included in a website SEO audit?
Crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, on-page (titles, headings, internal links, schema), content quality, hreflang and locale handling, backlink profile, Google Business Profile and Yandex Business hygiene. Delivered as a written report with prioritised fixes.
