Overview
About LeadWalnut
LeadWalnut is a Bengaluru SEO and conversion agency, operating since 2015, that focuses on B2B technology companies. It handles SEO strategy, AI search (GEO) optimization, CRO, content and website administration. Clients have included Fortinet, eFax and Splashtop.
LeadWalnut has been working in digital growth since 2015 from HSR Layout in Bengaluru. Co-founders Ajay Batra (CEO) and Natarajan Alagappan (CIO) run a team of about 16 to 20 people according to Clutch. It began as a broader funnel agency covering web development, SEO and outbound, and has since narrowed to search and conversion work for B2B technology firms.
The current offer groups into organic visibility (SEO strategy, technical fixes, content at scale), AI search or GEO optimization for SaaS, conversion rate optimization and ongoing website administration. Buyers can start with free tools, run a four-week pilot on a single micro-service such as schema or internal linking, or hand over full execution. Clutch puts its minimum engagement at $5,000 and its hourly band at $25 to $49, so it sits in the mid-price tier for a Bengaluru SEO agency. It also holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification.
Proof points lean enterprise. Fortinet and Consensus Cloud Solutions (eFax) have both reviewed the agency on Clutch, where nine reviews average 4.9. LeadWalnut’s own case studies claim a 20x traffic increase for Fortinet and a 48.7% pipeline lift for eFax within 30 days; those numbers are self-reported. Reviewers credit steady communication and ranking gains, while a few asked for more proactive suggestions and better content on one education account.
What sets LeadWalnut apart is the pairing of SEO with CRO and site upkeep, which suits B2B marketers who own the website as well as the pipeline target. The trade-offs are a small team, opaque pricing, and a focus that leaves little room for consumer or local-search clients.

Editor’s take
A strong shortlist candidate for B2B software and IT firms that want SEO, GEO and CRO handled together by a mid-priced Bengaluru team. Consumer or local businesses should look at generalists.
