International businesses increasingly hire senior digital marketing consultants from India for strategy, SEO and growth work. This guide shows what that costs in US dollars, using my own rates, and what you get at each level.
Pricing in USD
I am based in Delhi NCR and my rates are set in Indian rupees. The dollar figures below are converted at ₹95 = $1 and rounded, so treat them as indicative and confirm currency terms when you book.
| Engagement | Price (INR) | Approx. USD | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30-minute strategy session | ₹2,999 | ≈ $32 | A focused call plus a general audit of your business and first-look recommendations |
| 60-minute strategy session | ₹4,999 | ≈ $53 | The same audit and recommendations, with more time to go deep |
| Complete digital audit | From ₹19,999 | ≈ $210 | A fixed-price review of your website, SEO, paid media, analytics and funnel |
| Strategy roadmap | From ₹49,999 | ≈ $526 | A fixed-price, prioritised plan your team or agency can execute |
| SEO consulting | From ₹50,000 / month | ≈ $526 / month | Audit, what is working and what is not, strategy for your SEO team and off-page work; I handle on-page |
| Monthly retainer | ₹75,000 – ₹1,50,000 / month | ≈ $790 – $1,580 / month | 10 to 25 hours of consulting each month |
| Fractional / advisory | ₹1,50,000 / month | ≈ $1,580 / month | 4 dedicated days a month plus daily availability on calls |
USD figures are indicative, converted at ₹95 = $1 and rounded. These are my current rates as of October 2026, and a larger or more complex scope can change the price.
Introductory offer: the 30-minute and 60-minute sessions are currently available at a discounted, one-time introductory price.
What each option gives an international business
- Strategy session (about $32 or $53): a quick, honest outside view. Good for founders who want to sanity-check their plan or spend before committing budget.
- Digital audit (from about $210): a written review of your site, SEO, ads, analytics and funnel with clear priorities.
- Strategy roadmap (from about $526): a prioritised plan for the next stretch of growth, ready for your team or agency to execute.
- SEO consulting (from about $526 a month): audit, a read on what is working, direction for your SEO team and off-page work, with on-page handled by me.
- Retainer (about $790 to $1,580 a month): 10 to 25 hours of senior consulting each month.
- Fractional / advisory (about $1,580 a month): four dedicated days a month and daily availability on calls.
Working across time zones
Most engagements run through scheduled calls, shared documents and a clear weekly or monthly rhythm. The practical points to agree up front are meeting windows that suit both time zones, a shared place for reports and tasks, and who has access to which accounts.
What to check before hiring any overseas consultant
- What is delivered, how often, and in what format?
- Who does the hands-on work?
- How is currency handled and when is payment due?
- Who owns your data and accounts?
- How do we end the engagement if it is not working?
