Hi, I’m Akash Tonasalli — a digital marketing expert in Bengaluru with 12+ years of experience in SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, social media and analytics, helping businesses turn online visibility into enquiries and sales.
Bangalore is India’s start-up capital and one of its most competitive markets. Every week, new SaaS products, clinics, cafés, coaching institutes, real-estate projects and D2C brands launch here — and almost all of them compete for the same customers on Google, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn. In a city this crowded, “doing some posts” and “boosting a few ads” is not enough. You need a clear digital marketing strategy, the right channels and someone who measures every rupee.
I’m Akash Tonasalli, a digital marketing expert based in Rajajinagar, Bengaluru, with more than 12 years of hands-on experience. I work directly with founders, marketing heads and business owners to plan, run and improve campaigns across SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, social media, content and analytics — with transparent reporting on leads and sales, not vanity metrics.
A digital marketing expert plans and manages how your business attracts, converts and keeps customers online. That means choosing the channels that suit your goals and budget, setting up tracking so you know what works, creating content and campaigns, and improving them every month. The difference between an expert and a “social media person” is strategy and accountability: every activity is tied to a business outcome — enquiries, bookings, admissions, demo requests or online sales.
Technical fixes, keyword research, on-page optimisation, content and link building so your website ranks for the searches your customers actually make — from “best physiotherapy clinic in Jayanagar” to “HR software for start-ups”. SEO builds a steady stream of leads that does not stop when the ad budget does.
For clinics, restaurants, salons, gyms, showrooms and service businesses, the Google Maps “local pack” is often the biggest source of calls. I optimise your Google Business Profile, categories, photos, reviews and local citations so you appear when people nearby search for what you offer.
Search campaigns that capture people who are ready to buy, Performance Max for e-commerce and lead generation, and YouTube ads for awareness — with careful keyword selection, negative keywords and conversion tracking so you are not paying for irrelevant clicks.
Instagram and Facebook campaigns for lead generation, app installs and sales, supported by organic content — Reels, carousels and stories planned with a monthly content calendar. For B2B companies, I add LinkedIn content and ads targeted by job title and industry.
Blogs, landing pages, case studies, videos and lead magnets that answer your customers’ questions, build trust and support both SEO and paid campaigns.
Fast, mobile-friendly pages with clear messaging, strong calls to action, WhatsApp and call buttons, and forms that convert. Small changes to a landing page often lower the cost per lead more than any bidding change.
Correct tracking of calls, form submissions, WhatsApp clicks and purchases in GA4 and the ad platforms, plus Looker Studio dashboards so you can see performance at a glance.
Follow-up sequences and remarketing audiences that bring back visitors who did not convert the first time — often the most profitable part of a campaign.
| Industry | What usually works best |
|---|---|
| SaaS, IT services and start-ups | B2B SEO, LinkedIn content and ads, Google search ads for high-intent keywords, demo-request landing pages |
| Education, coaching and training institutes | Course pages that rank, Google and Meta lead campaigns before each batch, YouTube and Instagram content |
| Healthcare, clinics and wellness | Local SEO and Google Business Profile, doctor and treatment pages, reviews, call-focused search ads |
| Real estate and interiors | Project landing pages, Meta lead forms with quick follow-up, locality content for Whitefield, Sarjapur Road and North Bangalore |
| Restaurants, cafés and hospitality | Google Maps visibility, reviews, Instagram Reels and local offers |
| Retail and D2C brands | E-commerce SEO, Performance Max and Meta Advantage+ campaigns, remarketing and email |
| Manufacturing and B2B suppliers | Product and capability pages, IndiaMART-style keywords, LinkedIn outreach for buyers |
| Working with me | Typical large agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | The expert you speak to plans and manages your account | Often handed to junior executives after the sales pitch |
| Communication | Direct WhatsApp and calls, quick decisions | Account managers and ticket queues |
| Cost | No large agency overheads — more of your budget goes into results | Higher retainers to cover overheads |
| Reporting | Leads, sales and cost per result, explained simply | Long reports focused on impressions and reach |
| Flexibility | Strategy adapts month to month | Fixed packages and long contracts |
Over 12 years I have helped training institutes, studios, clinics, wellness centres and retailers in Bangalore reach the first page of Google and generate consistent enquiries. You can see examples of first-page rankings in my SEO portfolio. Every engagement focuses on the numbers that matter to you: enquiries, calls, admissions, bookings, sales and the cost of each one.
It depends on your goals, competition and channels. Typically there are two parts: a monthly management fee for strategy and execution, and a separate advertising budget paid directly to Google, Meta or LinkedIn. After a free review, you receive a clear, customised proposal — with no long lock-in contracts, and the flexibility to scale up what works.
If you or your team prefer to manage marketing in-house, I also train students, professionals and business owners through the Digital Marketing course in Bangalore, with live projects, AI tools and placement support. Companies can book corporate and college workshops.
An expert saves you from expensive trial and error: the right channels, correct tracking, better targeting and landing pages that convert. Most businesses recover the cost through a lower cost per lead and more consistent enquiries.
It depends on how your customers buy. Local businesses usually start with Google Business Profile and search ads; B2B companies with SEO and LinkedIn; consumer brands with Instagram, Meta Ads and Performance Max. The free review will tell you where to start.
Paid campaigns can bring enquiries within days of launch. SEO and content usually show measurable improvement in 8–12 weeks and grow stronger over 4–6 months.
Yes. Many of my clients are small businesses and early-stage start-ups. Plans are built around your budget, starting with the channels that can deliver results fastest.
Yes. Your Google Ads, Meta Business, GA4 and Search Console accounts belong to you; I work inside them with your permission, so you keep all data and history.
No. I am based in Bengaluru and work with clients across India and abroad; in-person meetings are easy to arrange within Bangalore.
For over 12 years I have helped start-ups, established brands and educational institutions grow through search, analytics and the web — and trained thousands of students and professionals to do the same.
