Independent pharmacies
People look for a chemist nearby when they need something today. Correct opening hours, location and phone number matter most, along with a quick way to ask whether an item is in stock.

01Who we work with
Three kinds of shop, understood properly.
We are starting with a few trades so we can learn how their customers search, ask and buy, instead of offering the same package to everyone.
Stationery shops
Demand rises around school terms and exams, and many shops also offer printing or photocopying. Showing what you stock and the services you offer helps students, parents and offices find you.
Puja and religious supplies
Festivals bring busy weeks and very specific questions. Keeping festival timings up to date and answering “do you have this?” quickly can make the difference before Diwali, Navratri or Ganesh Chaturthi.
Run a different kind of local business? You are welcome to get in touch as well.
02Services
Help customers find you, reach you and come back.
Each service works on its own. You can start with one or two and add more only when it is useful.
-
01
Website development
A simple, fast website that works well on the phones your customers use: what you sell, your timings and location, with buttons to call or message you in one tap.
Designed for phones first -
02
Google Business Profile
We help you create or claim your profile and complete Google’s verification, then fill in categories, hours, photos, products and services, and show you how to reply to reviews.
Setup and optimisation -
03
Local SEO
Consistent business details across the web, and website content that matches what people nearby actually search for. Search rankings depend on Google, so we never promise a position. We work on the improvements agreed with you and report available results accurately.
No guaranteed rankings -
04
WhatsApp enquiry setup
Greetings and ready answers for common questions such as timings, location and availability, so customers hear back quickly and you can focus on the enquiries that need you.
Suited to your shop’s size -
05
Digital tools and performance tracking
Simple tools where they genuinely save time, and a plain summary of figures such as calls, direction requests, website visits and enquiries, where your website and business profiles provide them.
Available figures, explained
03How we work
Three straightforward steps.
No long contracts to read before we have even understood your shop.
-
1
Understand your shop
We talk with you about your customers, what they usually ask and where you would like more help. This first conversation is free, with no obligation to buy anything.
-
2
Set it up together
We set up the agreed pieces, in your business’s name where the platform allows, and show you how to use and update them.
-
3
Review and improve
We look at the results with you and adjust what is not working, rather than leaving things to run unchecked.
Not sure where to start? A Google Business Profile is a sensible first step, as it is often the first thing people see when they search nearby.
04Why Chowk Works
A partner that keeps things simple and honest.
Small business owners are often sold tools they do not need, or promised results nobody can guarantee. We would rather do a few useful things well and explain them clearly.
-
Focused on a few trades
We learn how pharmacies, stationery shops and puja stores work, instead of applying one template to every business.
-
Plain language
We explain what each piece does and why it might help, without technical jargon.
-
Your accounts stay yours
Where the platform allows, your website, domain and business accounts are set up in your business’s name and remain under your control. Where delegated access is available, we use it rather than asking you to share passwords.
-
Honest about results
We never promise Google rankings, recommendations from AI assistants or guaranteed sales. We report available results accurately, using figures provided by your website and business profiles where available.

The first conversation is free and there is no obligation to buy anything. It is simply a chance to see whether we can help.
