Koramangala, Bengaluru, IndiaPublished by SEO Sadhu · we publish this page, so we have kept ourselves out of the ranked list below.Four things decided who made it, and one thing decided how we present ourselves.
An operating office in the city, not a nameplate address on a national website.
Everything we list comes from the agency's own site. Anything they do not publish is marked Not disclosed.
Agencies that are visibly better at something specific, rather than listing every service in existence.
Named clients published by the agency, not logo walls with no names attached.
Sorted by nothing in particular. Anything an agency does not publish is marked Not disclosed rather than guessed at.

Five agencies serving Richmond, each with a clear speciality. Descriptions are drawn from each agency’s own website.
Richmond has a long-established creative and advertising community in Scott's Addition, downtown and Manchester. Several of its best-known digital agencies block automated checks or sit in suburbs such as Midlothian and Glen Allen, and many others are national firms with Richmond landing pages, so this list is short.
Elevation is an advertising and branding agency on West Main Street whose client list mixes national food brands with Virginia institutions and tourism organizations.
Madison+Main is a full-service branding, marketing and PR agency on East Cary Street serving small and mid-size companies, government clients and nonprofits.
The Hodges Partnership is a PR agency on West Moore Street combining earned media with content marketing, paid promotion and creative. It is PR-led rather than an SEO specializt.
Lewis Media Partners is a media advertising agency headquartered on Libbie Avenue, covering media planning, digital and traditional buying, SEO and data analytics.
Geear (formerly Web Strategies) is a HubSpot partner on Midlothian Turnpike focused on credit unions, community banks and manufacturers.
Six questions worth asking whoever you shortlist.
Strong at D2C performance marketing does not mean strong at B2B SEO. Shortlist for your actual bottleneck.
The people who pitch are often not the people on the account. Ask, and ask how many other clients they carry.
Ask for a redacted monthly report. If nothing in it connects to inquiries or revenue, expect an awkward month four.
Buyers now ask assistants before search engines. Ask how they get clients named in those answers.
Notice period, and whether your ads account, analytics and website stay in your name when you leave.
Nobody controls Google. A promised position means they misunderstand that, or expect you to.
This page is published by SEO Sadhu, an SEO agency in Bangalore. We have put ourselves in a separate featured card above rather than ranking ourselves against the agencies in the list, because scoring yourself first on your own page is not a ranking.
The agencies are presented in no particular order of merit. Every fact about them comes from their own website, checked in September 2026.
