Hindi-language content reaches 600 million North Indian internet users who prefer consuming content in their native language
Most Indian business websites are built entirely in English. This makes strategic sense for urban, educated audiences in metros — but it misses a massive and rapidly growing customer base: the 600+ million Hindi-speaking internet users across North India who prefer to browse, search, and buy in their native language.
This is especially significant for businesses in cities like Patna, Varanasi, Kanpur, Lucknow, Agra, Meerut, and smaller UP, Bihar, and Haryana towns where most customers are more comfortable in Hindi than English.
The Hindi Search Opportunity
Google receives enormous volume of Hindi-language searches in North India. Many of these searches have very little competition — most business websites are in English, meaning a Hindi-language page can rank easily for searches that would be competitive in English.
Examples of Hindi searches with significant volume and minimal competition:
- “पटना में वेबसाइट डिज़ाइन” (website design in Patna)
- “दिल्ली में सबसे अच्छा डॉक्टर” (best doctor in Delhi)
- “लखनऊ में कोचिंग सेंटर” (coaching centre in Lucknow)
- “वाराणसी में होटल” (hotel in Varanasi)
A website with dedicated Hindi content pages for these searches can rank on the first page of Google with relatively minimal SEO effort.
What Bilingual Content Means for Conversion
Trust and comprehension drive conversions. When a potential customer from Patna reads about your services in clear Hindi, they understand better, trust more, and are more likely to contact you. This is especially true for:
- Healthcare — patients discussing symptoms and treatments in Hindi
- Legal and financial services — complex services explained in Hindi convert better
- Education — parents and students evaluating coaching centres prefer Hindi
- Real estate — property descriptions and legal terms explained in Hindi reduce buyer anxiety
How to Add Hindi Content to Your Website
Options from simplest to comprehensive:
- Hindi version of key pages: Translate your homepage, services page, and contact page. Add a language toggle button. This alone can rank for Hindi searches.
- Hindi blog posts: Write 5–10 Hindi-language posts answering common customer questions. These rank quickly for Hindi searches with minimal competition.
- Full bilingual site: Complete Hindi and English versions of all pages — the gold standard for businesses targeting both urban English and regional Hindi audiences.
Our website design service includes bilingual setup on request. We work with Hindi copywriters to create authentic, non-translated content that reads naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I have a completely separate Hindi website or just translate my English site?
A dedicated Hindi section on your existing domain (yourdomain.com/hi/) is better than a separate site. It consolidates your SEO authority while serving Hindi readers. Google handles this well with hreflang tags that our team configures as part of bilingual website setup.
Does Google rank Hindi content differently from English?
Google ranks Hindi content in Hindi search results and English content in English results. They’re effectively separate ranking pools. A business with good Hindi content faces much less competition in Hindi search results than in English results for the same keywords.
My business serves only local customers — do I need a bilingual website?
If your local customers include significant Hindi-medium population (which includes most UP, Bihar, Haryana, and Rajasthan towns), yes. A fully Hindi website often outperforms an English website in these markets because it communicates in the customer’s own language and competes with fewer Hindi-language business websites.
