I build websites and do SEO for businesses in Srinagar, from hotels and houseboats to schools, clinics and handicraft sellers. I'm based in Baramulla district rather than in the city itself, and I've been doing web development since I was a kid.
I'd rather be straight with you about where I am. My base is Kalantra Payeen in Baramulla district, so I'm not one of the developers with an office in the city. You send your details and photos on WhatsApp or email, and I send back a preview link to open on your own phone before anything goes live.
Many Srinagar businesses sell to people who live outside Jammu & Kashmir, and that shapes how the site should work. A hotel on the Boulevard or a houseboat on Dal Lake has to win over someone who has never seen it, looking at a phone in another state, so I write and lay out every page for that reader.
These are the kinds of business in the city that most often need a website and a Google listing, and what each should put up front.
Rooms shown in real photos, the neighbourhood you're in and how far it is from the airport. Add a direct enquiry button, so a guest who finds you can ask about dates without going through a booking site.
Guests want to see the boat inside and out, know which lake it is on and where the shikara will collect them. Write the ghat or landing point on the site and in your Google listing, so a taxi driver arriving after dark can find it.
A page for each package with its length in the name, the airport pick-up spelled out and the places it covers, such as Gulmarg, Pahalgam or Sonamarg. I explain the rest on websites for travel businesses.
Pashmina, papier-mâché, carpets and walnut wood sell on pictures. A catalogue with a real photo of each piece, a note on how you ship outside J&K and a WhatsApp button for orders will sell more than a long history of the craft.
A Srinagar business usually needs both, because its customers look for it at two different moments.
A couple who landed this morning and want a shikara ride, a dinner spot or a shawl shop open Google Maps and pick from the handful of places near them. Your Google Business Profile decides whether you are one of them: the right category, hours that are true today, recent photos and honest reviews.
Send me your Google Maps link and your website, if you have one. I'll tell you what I'd fix first and what it would cost.
Admissions, fee notices and the school calendar, written for parents who check on their phones in the evening.
Doctors' days and timings, the floor and the landmark, and a phone number that gets answered.
Catalogues that show each piece and explain how orders ship outside the valley.
Menus that load on a phone, today's hours and directions from somewhere visitors know.
Yes, and some of the live sites in my portfolio belong to Srinagar businesses. You send me your details and photos on WhatsApp or email, and I send you a preview link to check on your own phone before anything goes live.
Yes. If you have no listing yet, I create one and help you through Google's verification, and if you already have one, I fix the category, hours, photos and pin. Google decides how each business is verified, so I can't tell you in advance which method it will ask for.
Yes, I do both for Srinagar businesses. For a hotel or travel agent selling to people who plan ahead, SEO means pages for what they search weeks before the trip. For a shop that people walk into, most of the gain comes from a complete Google Business Profile.
There is no special Srinagar price. It depends on how many pages you need, whether you want to edit the site yourself and extras such as business email. I'll give you the price before any work starts.
Tell me what you run, where in the city you are and how guests reach you now. I'll reply myself with what I'd change first on your website or your Google listing.
