    Hello,

    Is your web portal is new or older one? If new the do on-page optimization each pages with unique keywords/key phrases. Check the content of your web portal is sufficient for customers. Check the websites looks and navigation structure is good or not. Do all the Off page activities for the web portals. If your esteemed organization interested for PPC campaign then run the ppc campaign and target the local area where you want to focus the market. Don't do blackhat seo and spamming work for your websites. Do more off-page activities like directory submission, blog commenting, blog creation, classified post, article submission, rss feed, bookmarking, forum posting, link building, link exchange and many more.

    All these activities will be helpful for your web portal. Along with that do Social media marketing like facebook, google plus, twitter, pintrest activities for your web portals.

    Thanks,

    Ideas:
    1. Give a website badge with link back to your site to every registered website. This way you will get a new link every a new register.
    2. Contact all the blogs and websites from the niche and ask for review. You can get for free or paid ones.

    Hope it helps.
    Thanks!

    @Nisha Shah, if link exchange is done in a right way, nothing wrong will happen. If you read again the question, you will see that Rakesh need promotion of he site and not SEO (or this IMO i got from the post).

    All these things depends upon the back link. create a back link with off page activity, for your portal site.
    and advertise it with classified site, in limitation.that will help you.

    But i think Rakesh's point of view is very clear. he just want to focus on both SEO and SMO. So can you please suggest the SMO options so that he can promote it in various cities as he is saying he is having a restaurant portal site.

    I think you have to do all the work of SEO(On-Page and Off-Page). Use webmaster tools and target your area where you want to promote your website.
    Never try to create back-links on same IP sites, and always review your content for its quality.

    Thanks,

    @ irfan.n just wanna know which off page activity will work here, cause it's a portal site not having a single restaurant site that can easily submit to directories or classifieds sites.

    yes exactly my question is what nisha said above because i know how to seo whether it is on page or off page, but the only difficulty is i have to do seo for every city like if we promote via facebook than how we reach to specific city because it is not a content based site like post new content and share to facebook page, twitter, google+ and all other seo and smo techniques.

    If we share on facebook and any other social media than how we reach our content to particular city on facebook, twitter etc because if we have post list chummuch.com/restaurants-in-delhi and we promote via social media than if a person from chandigarh see the post restaurants in delhi than it is not beneficial to him because he is from chandigarh not from delhi.

    So my question is how to do seo and smo for this site so that we can reach our content city wise. Like if we have post restaurants in chandigarh so how we do seo and promotion for this keyword so that maximum amount of content reach to chandigarh city and people from chandigarh city see the post "restaurants in chandigarh".

    You need proper meta-tags, descriptions, titles, and on-page optimization. You need search engines to be able to find your website. You’ll need your primary keywords on your site. Etc., etc.

    Is your website "valid" only for India... if no, then PPC is the best way to boost your traffic... Otherwise, you should pay attention to LOCAL directories (indian directories), indian forums (in indian language, NOT in english!), article directories in those cities will do the job too! :)

    "yes exactly my question is what nisha said above because i know how to seo whether it is on page or off page, but the only difficulty is i have to do seo for every city like if we promote via facebook than how we reach to specific city because it is not a content based site like post new content and share to facebook page, twitter, google+ and all other seo and smo techniques.

Like if we have post restaurants in chandigarh so how we do seo and promotion for this keyword so that maximum amount of content reach to chandigarh city and people from chandigarh city see the post "restaurants in chandigarh".

    and if you know the answer than reply to that.

    Thanks

    If you write your website in PHP you can easily redirect every visitor to his city. Example:

    If a visitor from Delhi visits your website, he should be redirected to the page with restaurants in Delhi, if he is from chandigarh, then he should be redirected to the page with restaurants in chandigarh, etc.

    Just a tip: you can do it with IP check and verification

    While for SEO I already posted a few tips to get you a quick idea, you'd better check Google for more articles for LOCAL SEO tips!

    :) :) :)
