Raya Mandal

I’m Raya Mandal, a digital marketing fresher from Kolkata, West Bengal. I discovered SEO while exploring how websites attract visitors without paid ads — and I became completely obsessed with understanding how Google decides what to rank.

That curiosity led me to enrol in the Digital Marketing Professional Programme at Seven Boats Academy, where I’ve been learning technical SEO, on-page optimisation, keyword research, and content strategy through real-client assignments.

This website — rayamandal.com — is my live SEO experiment. I built it myself using WordPress and Elementor, and every article I publish here is a real attempt to rank on Google. The results, good or bad, become my case studies.

My goal is to become a well-rounded SEO specialist who can take a website from zero organic traffic to consistent Google rankings. I’m documenting that entire journey openly on this blog.
