Kozhikode, Kerala
We plan SEO, Google Ads, Meta and YouTube campaigns for Kozhikode businesses from our Noida base. The thing to plan around is the Gulf. Calicut's airport handles three times as many international passengers as domestic ones, so hospitals, jewellers, builders and food brands here sell to families split between Kerala and the GCC.
Calicut and the Gulf
Plenty of Kozhikode purchases are settled on a WhatsApp call between Calicut and Dubai or Abu Dhabi. A family picks a hospital for a parent, a plot for a house or a caterer for a wedding, and the person paying is often abroad. That changes the media plan: Meta and YouTube in Malayalam aimed at both Kerala and the Gulf, and a WhatsApp number someone answers in the Gulf evening.
The city has old trades of its own too. Timber and furniture along the Kallai river, halwa and biryani that people drive across the state for, beach-front hotels and a busy private hospital sector. Each of these has a buyer who searches in Malayalam or Manglish first, and the copy has to meet them there.
We start every Kozhikode plan by asking where the decision-maker lives, because a campaign for a mother in Feroke and one for her son in Dubai should not share a budget line. Search plans for Calicut businesses begin at ₹50,000 a month plus GST.
Kozhikode by the numbers
Airport, central bank, UNESCO and state tourism figures, each with its period.

When three in four people using the airport are flying abroad, the customer base is international by default. We would set up every Kozhikode campaign with two geographies: Kerala, and the UAE plus the rest of the GCC. The ads can share creative, but budgets, landing page wording and call timings should differ. A buyer in Dubai decides after work and wants a WhatsApp reply, not a callback request.
Kerala's 19.7 per cent share of remittances tells you how much money crosses that border. We would expect builders, jewellers, colleges, hospitals and wedding businesses in Kozhikode to gain most from diaspora targeting, because those are the purchases families plan together across countries. Google Search catches the moment of decision. YouTube and Meta in Malayalam build trust in the months before it, and remarketing brings back the relative who looked once on a lunch break in Sharjah.
A literary city with 545 libraries reads. We think long-form Malayalam content, YouTube explainers and well-written blog posts earn more attention here than they would in many Indian cities of this size. The 1.47 million domestic visits a year give hotels, restaurants and Beypore boat and heritage operators a reason to spend on Google Maps, reviews and food content as well.
Healthcare deserves its own plan. Kozhikode hospitals compete for patients from Malappuram, Wayanad and Kannur as well as the city, and for relatives in the Gulf who often choose the hospital before the patient travels. Department pages in Malayalam, doctor profiles with timings, Google Business Profile for each branch and Meta campaigns aimed at the UAE work together here. We count booked consultations by source, so the hospital can see which country and which campaign the patient came from.
Where the money goes
Malayalam and English department pages, Google Business Profile for every branch, and Meta campaigns aimed at Gulf-based relatives who book and pay for a parent's treatment.
Maps and review work for Beach Road and SM Street footfall, Instagram food content, and online stores for halwa, spices and snacks that ship across India and abroad.
Furniture makers selling to families building new homes. Google Search on product terms, catalogue pages with prices and YouTube workshop videos do most of the selling.
Diaspora campaigns on Meta and YouTube, project or collection pages in Malayalam and English, and remarketing for visitors who return before Onam or a wedding date.

Plans
A hospital or hotel with one location fits Starter SEO at ₹50,000 a month. A business targeting Kerala and the Gulf at once usually needs Growth at ₹75,000, because each audience needs its own keywords and pages.

Questions
Starter SEO is ₹50,000 a month plus GST. For ads, our fee is the higher of 15% of media or ₹50,000 a month plus GST, and social media retainers start at ₹1,00,000.
Yes. We target by location and language on Meta, Google and YouTube, with separate budgets for Kerala and the Gulf and a landing page written for each.
Malayalam for families, patients and food buyers, English for B2B and export. Manglish works well on Instagram. We run the versions side by side and keep the one that brings enquiries.
Yes, if you want buyers beyond walk-ins. People search for teak sofa sets or wardrobes in Kozhikode before they visit a showroom, and a product page with prices and photos wins that search.
Around Onam, Christmas and the winter season, and during Gulf school holidays when families fly home. Google Maps reviews and Instagram should run all year.
Through Meta and YouTube ads in Malayalam targeted to the UAE and the rest of the GCC, a department page that explains treatment and cost ranges, and a WhatsApp line staffed in the evening.
