A smarter option for CA businesses
You don’t need a California agency to win California customers.
California is the largest and one of the most competitive markets on earth — from Silicon Valley tech to LA’s creative economy, world-class healthcare, and a vast base of e-commerce and service businesses. Standing out here takes marketing that’s genuinely sharp, not just busy. And almost all of that marketing — SEO, content, ads, email, strategy — is done remotely regardless of where your provider sits. The work lives in Google, your website and your ad accounts, not in a San Francisco or LA office with Bay-Area rent built into every invoice.
What actually decides your results is skill, communication and accountability — not a shared ZIP code. That’s a real opportunity in California specifically, where agency overhead is among the highest in the country: a skilled remote consultant delivers the same quality of work at far better value, and you deal directly with the person doing it.
I’m Bharathi Giri — a Google & Meta certified consultant who’s helped 250+ businesses since 2011, including clients across the US, UK and Canada. I work with California businesses entirely remotely and through organic search. Honest, senior work, at a price that makes sense even against California costs.
What I do
Digital marketing California businesses can rely on.
Start with one channel, or run them as one coordinated system — all built to be found on Google and in AI answers.
Content & AI search (GEO)
Authoritative content that ranks on Google and gets cited by AI tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews — essential in a market where buyers research deeply before they commit.
AI search / GEO →Google Ads (PPC)
Reach ready-to-buy customers the moment they search, with tightly targeted campaigns and landing pages built to convert — and the discipline to keep CPCs under control in expensive California markets.
Google Ads →Social Media Marketing
Build awareness and trust on the platforms your customers use — powerful for California’s creator, lifestyle and consumer brands — with honest, consistent content.
Social media →Website Design & Development
Fast, mobile-first, conversion-focused websites that make your business easy to trust and easy to buy from — the hub every other channel points to, built in your name.
Website design →Strategy & analytics
A clear plan tied to your numbers, with proper tracking and reporting on real outcomes — leads and revenue, not impressions.
Digital marketing →Why this works
Senior, direct, and built to pay back.
The things a big agency buries in overhead and account layers, a focused remote consultant can give you directly — at better value, which matters more than ever against California costs.
01
You work with the expert
No sold-by-senior, delivered-by-junior. The person who scopes your work is the person who does it.
02
Better value, no overhead
No Bay-Area or LA office to fund — so far more of your budget goes into actual results.
03
Found on Google and AI
Everything is built to be discovered in traditional search and cited in AI answers — where buyers increasingly look.
04
You own everything
Your website, domain, ad accounts and analytics are in your name. Leave any time and you keep it all.
Straight with you
An honest note on working with a remote consultant.
To be completely clear: I’m based in India, not California. I don’t have a California office or a local address, and you won’t find invented local reviews on this page — that’s not how I work. What you get is a remote, senior, certified partner who works with US businesses through organic search, with hours that overlap the Pacific workday and clear, direct communication.
For work that’s genuinely physical or hyper-local — in-person shoots, local events, walking your store — a local provider is the better fit, and I’ll tell you so. But for SEO, content, AI search, ads, social and websites, location doesn’t limit results — skill and accountability do. In a market as expensive as California, remote isn’t just viable; the value difference is real.
Who I work with
Built for the industries that drive California.
California’s economy spans tech, media, commerce and services. Here’s where I focus, and how I help each.
Tech & SaaS
Rank for the problems your product solves and build content that earns signups and demo requests — essential in the most crowded software market in the world.
SEO →Entertainment, media & creators
Social, video and content strategy that builds audience and authority — for studios, agencies, personal brands and creators across LA and beyond.
Social media →E-commerce & D2C
Product and category SEO, buyer-ready content and ads that reach ready-to-purchase shoppers — so better rankings turn straight into sales.
E-commerce →Healthcare & wellness
Clinics, practitioners and wellness brands — local SEO, a complete profile and trustworthy content that win “near me” searches, handled with care.
SEO →Real estate & home services
Local SEO, Google Business Profile and call-focused ads that bring nearby, ready-to-act customers in high-value California markets.
Google Ads →Professional & local services
Law, finance, consulting and local service businesses — high-intent SEO and ads, plus content that builds the authority these buyers look for.

How we’d start
Simple, clear, and no pressure.
Step 01
Free consultation
Tell me your business, your market and what isn’t working. I’ll tell you honestly what to do first.
Step 02
Plan & clear quote
A clear plan and a fixed, itemised quote — exactly what I’d do, what it costs, and what to expect.
Step 03
Build & run
I do the work — SEO, content, ads, site — with everything created in your name, so you own it from day one.
Step 04
Report & grow
You see real leads and revenue first, rankings second. We scale what works and cut what doesn’t.
Honest pricing
Senior work, without the big-agency price tag.
You always get a fixed, itemised quote before anything starts — no surprise line items. Because there’s no expensive office or layers of account managers to fund, more of your budget goes into the actual work, so the value is strong for the level of expertise — a difference that’s especially large against California agency rates. Ongoing work is month to month; you stay because it’s working, not because a contract traps you.
For honest US price ranges — what SEO, websites, ads and full programs typically cost, and how to tell a fair quote from an inflated one — see my guides to digital marketing cost, SEO cost, website cost and Google Ads cost.
Real proof
250+ businesses served since 2011.
I’d rather show real work than invented numbers or fake local reviews. Since 2011 I’ve worked with 250+ businesses — based in India, with clients across the US, the UK and Canada — building websites, growing organic traffic and running marketing. I’m Google and Meta certified, and ranked in the top 5% of 2.3 million people on LinkedIn’s SEO assessment.
On a free call I’ll walk you through live examples of the work, and you’re welcome to check my background and reviews for yourself. No fabricated testimonials, no bought reviews — just real results you can verify. More about me →

FAQs
Questions about working with a remote consultant.
No — I’m honest about that. I’m based in India and work with California businesses remotely. Most digital marketing is done remotely anyway: the work lives in Google, your website and your ad accounts. You get senior, certified expertise with hours that overlap the Pacific workday, without a California agency’s overhead in the price.
Yes. SEO, content, ads, social and web work are all delivered remotely regardless of location — what matters is skill and accountability, not a shared postcode. The main exception is genuinely physical work like in-person shoots or local networking, where a local provider fits better. For everything digital, remote is an advantage, not a compromise.
I keep hours that overlap the US workday, including the Pacific timezone, for calls and quick responses, and work in clear, direct communication — you deal with me, not a chain of account managers.
That’s exactly where a remote consultant helps most. You get senior, certified work without funding a Bay-Area or LA office, so your budget stretches much further than it would with a local agency — which matters in one of the most competitive, highest-cost markets in the country.
It depends on scope, and you get a fixed, itemised quote before anything starts. Because there’s no big-agency overhead, the value is strong for the quality. For honest US price ranges, see my guides to digital marketing cost and SEO cost.
It depends on your goals and timeline. If you need leads quickly, Google Ads works immediately; if you’re building a durable, lower-cost channel, SEO and content compound over months. Most businesses benefit from a blend. On a free call I’ll tell you honestly what to prioritise first.
Yes — California’s startup and SaaS scene is a natural fit. I help you rank for the problems your product solves, build content that earns signups and demos, and get cited in AI answers, with a plan matched to your stage and budget.
Yes, always. Your domain, website, Google Ads, Analytics and Search Console are created in your name, with you as owner. If we ever stop working together, you keep everything — handed over cleanly, in writing.
No responsible marketer guarantees specific rankings or results, because they depend on your market, budget and offer, and nobody controls Google. What I guarantee is honest, careful work focused on real outcomes — leads and revenue — with full transparency and reporting you can check.
