About Tarun

I help small businesses get found, get leads, and grow online.

I'm a freelance digital specialist based in Mohali, India, working across Google Ads, web design, and SEO. I've spent the last 9+ years doing this work myself — no team of juniors, no outsourcing, just direct, hands-on work for every client.

My story

How I got here.

I started out doing small freelance gigs almost a decade ago — building simple websites and running basic ad campaigns for local businesses who couldn't afford an agency. Over time, that grew into deep, hands-on experience across three connected disciplines: getting a business found (SEO), getting it seen (Google Ads), and giving it a place worth landing on (web design).

What kept me freelance instead of joining or building an agency was simple: I didn't want to become someone who sells work that a junior actually does. Every client I take on gets me — not a rotating account manager, not a templated strategy, not a sales pitch dressed up as a "senior team."

Today, that's still exactly how I work. Whether it's a shop owner who needs their first website, or a founder whose Google Ads spend is bleeding money without results, the process is the same: an honest audit, a clear plan, and direct access to the person actually doing the work.

I'd rather tell a client the truth about what's not working than keep billing them for a strategy I know isn't landing.
