About STARC

Marketing that’s easy to understand

STARC is a group of experienced SEO and digital marketing specialists who work as freelancers. We help growing businesses get found on Google, in AI answers and in the feeds their customers scroll, at lower fees than a typical agency charges.

Why STARC exists

Most business owners we meet have tried marketing before. They’ve paid an agency, received a thick report full of jargon, and still couldn’t answer a simple question: is this bringing in customers?

STARC is a group of people set up to fix that. Each of us has years of hands-on work in SEO and digital marketing, and we kept seeing the same pattern: good businesses losing out because their marketing was too complicated, too vague or not tracked at all.

STARC isn’t an agency. We’re SEO and digital marketing specialists with years of hands-on work experience, and we work with clients as freelancers. Without agency overheads to cover, our fees are much lower than typical agency fees.

We also keep things simple. We focus on the channels that bring customers, we set up tracking before we spend a rupee, and we report in plain language. If something isn’t working, we say so and change it.

Built for how people search today

Search has changed. Customers still use Google, but they also ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity who to hire, and they discover brands while scrolling Instagram. STARC brings all of that together: SEO, AI search, Google Ads, social ads and websites, planned together by our freelancing experts from the industry.

We’d rather tell you something isn’t working than hide it in a report.

These values guide how we plan, work and talk to you.

Plain language

Short reports in everyday words. You’ll always understand what we’re doing and why.

Customers first

We measure success in calls, leads and sales rather than impressions or keyword counts.

Realistic forecasts

Realistic timelines and clear trade-offs. We never promise #1 rankings or overnight results.

You own it all

Ad accounts, content, data and websites stay yours, whatever happens.

What we won’t do

Things we don’t do

Some common agency practices we avoid, and why.

✕
Guarantee #1 rankingsGoogle decides rankings. We guarantee the work, not the algorithm.
✕
Lock you into long contractsWe work month to month. We keep clients by getting results.
✕
Buy spammy links or fake reviewsShortcuts like these can get your business penalised. Not worth it.
✕
Hold your accounts hostageYour ad accounts, website and data are yours from day one.
✕
Hide behind jargonIf we can’t explain it simply, we shouldn’t be charging for it.
✕
Take on work we can’t do wellIf we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you and point you to someone who is.
