"Lucknow is a government town with a private-sector future. The IT City project, metro expansion, and new institutional investment are bringing in 18–35 year-olds who research everything online first. Five years from now, Lucknow SEO competition will look like Hyderabad today. The window to build authority cheaply is now."
