SEO & Local Visibility
Be easier to find when customers search for what you do
We make your website easy for search engines to read, build pages around what people actually search for, and help keep your Google Business Profile complete and accurate, so more of the right customers find you.
Who it's for: Local businesses that are hard to find on Google, or whose website and Google Business Profile don't reflect what they really offer.
Why customers might not be finding you
- Your site is hard for Google to read
- Missing titles and descriptions, slow pages, or text that only appears after scripts run can keep pages out of search results.
- One page tries to cover everything
- When every service shares one page, it's hard to show up for the specific things people search for, like a service and your city.
- Your Google profile is incomplete
- Missing categories, services or photos, or outdated hours, make it harder to appear in Google Maps and local results.
- Nobody is measuring it
- Without Google Search Console, it's hard to know which searches show your site and which pages have problems.
What we can take on
- Technical SEO
- Indexing, sitemaps, redirects, page speed, mobile layouts and structured data, checked and fixed so search engines can crawl and understand your site.
- Service and area pages
- A clear page for each service, written for the searches customers make, with useful content instead of repeated keywords. Area pages only where there's something genuinely different to say.
- Google Business Profile
- Help setting up and maintaining your profile: categories, services, photos, posts and accurate business details. You stay the owner of your profile.
- Consistent business details
- Your business name, phone number and website shown the same way on your site, your Google profile and the directories that matter.
- Bilingual SEO
- Separate English and French pages, each written naturally and linked to each other, so search engines show people the right language.
- Search Console and reporting
- Google Search Console and analytics set up (analytics only with visitors' consent), with plain-language updates on what changed and what we see.
What we won't do
Some SEO tactics do more harm than good. We stay away from them.
- Guarantee rankings
- No one controls Google's results. Be wary of anyone who promises first place.
- Buy links or post fake reviews
- Both break Google's rules and can get a website demoted or a Business Profile suspended.
- Stuff pages with keywords
- Near-identical pages for every town, or text written for robots, don't help your customers and don't age well.
How a project works
Consultation, proposal, build and launch, then ongoing support if you need it.
Free consultation
Look at your website, your Google Business Profile and the searches you want to show up for.
Proposal
Agree on priorities, one-time fixes and any ongoing work, with the cost of each.
Build and launch
Fix technical issues, improve or add pages, and set up Search Console and reporting.
Ongoing support
Optional ongoing work, such as new content, profile updates and regular check-ins, is priced in your proposal.
How pricing works
SEO work is quoted individually, based on the size of your site, how much needs fixing, the number of languages, and whether you want a one-time clean-up or ongoing support.
Your proposal separates one-time work from anything recurring, so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Common questions
Can you guarantee first place on Google?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. Google decides rankings. We work on what's in your control: a site search engines can read, useful pages, an accurate Business Profile and consistent business details.
How long does SEO take?
It's gradual. Search engines need to recrawl and reassess your pages, and competition differs by industry and area. We track progress in Search Console rather than promising dates.
Is SEO included with a new website?
Every website we build includes search-engine foundations: titles, descriptions, headings, a sitemap and fast-loading images. Ongoing SEO, new content and Business Profile work are separate and quoted on their own.
Can you help with SEO in French and English?
Yes. We can set up separate English and French pages so each one can be found by the people searching in that language.
Can a Gatineau or Aylmer business show up in Ottawa searches?
On Google Maps, distance from the person searching matters a lot, so a business shows up most often near its location or service area. Across the river, clear service pages, a bilingual website and genuine reviews help your site appear in the regular results. No one can promise a position.
