The Problem

You're invisible where it counts. That's the real problem.

You probably don’t have a marketing problem. You have a visibility problem.

The phone isn’t ringing the way it used to. A new competitor showed up at the top of the map pack and you’re not sure when that happened. You set up a Google Business Profile years ago, did a little work on it, and haven’t touched it since. Maybe you hired an agency that locked you into a contract, sent you monthly reports full of charts you couldn’t act on, and quietly let your rankings slide.

Sound familiar?

This is the position most Vancouver SMBs are in when they start looking for help. They don’t need a lecture on SEO. They need someone who can rebuild their local presence, do the boring foundational work properly, and report on what actually matters: calls, form fills, qualified leads, and revenue.

The Basics

What local SEO actually is

Local SEO is the process of optimizing a business's online presence so it ranks higher in geographically relevant search results — primarily Google's local pack (the map and three business listings at the top of the page), Google Maps, and "near me" organic searches. It targets buyers in a specific city, neighborhood, or service area at the moment they're searching for what you offer.
The work itself focuses on four things:
  • Google Business Profile — optimization, posts, photos, and Q&A management
  • Citations and NAP consistency — your business name, address, and phone number appearing identically across directories
  • On-page local signals — title tags, headers, schema markup, and location-specific landing pages
  • Local authority signals — reviews, locally relevant backlinks, and engagement signals that tell Google you're a real, trusted business in your area
Done well, local SEO turns your website and Google Business Profile into a steady source of inbound calls, bookings, and walk-ins from people in your service area who are actively trying to spend money.
What We Do

What's included in our local SEO services

We treat local SEO as a foundation, not a one-off project. Every retainer is built around the same core deliverables, scaled up by tier.
Optimized Google Business Profile for Vancouver local search
📍

Google Business Profile optimization

Full setup or audit, category selection, service areas, attributes, weekly posts, photo strategy, and review response cadence. The GBP is the single highest-ROI asset for most local businesses.

📋

Citations and NAP consistency

We submit your business to roughly 20 high-quality Canadian and industry-specific directories, then audit and clean up inconsistent listings across the broader citation ecosystem.

🔍

Local keyword research

We map the actual search terms your customers use, including neighborhood-level near-me variations, service-plus-city combinations, and the long-tail questions people Google before booking.

⚙

On-page optimization

Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal linking, location-specific landing pages, and LocalBusiness schema markup that gives Google clean structured data.

⭐

Reviews and reputation

A repeatable system for asking happy customers for reviews and responding to negative ones in a way that doesn't damage your rankings or your reputation.

🔗

Local link building

Coverage in local press, sponsorships, partnerships with adjacent businesses, and relevant industry directories. Quality over volume, every time.

📊

Reporting that's actually useful

A live Looker Studio dashboard you can log into anytime. Tracks rankings, calls, form fills, GBP actions, and conversions, not impressions or anything you can't take to the bank.

For multi-location businesses, e-commerce stores, and brands competing across multiple cities, our Pro SEO retainer extends this work to multi-city pages, hreflang for international, and conversion rate optimization on top.

Who It's For

Who this is for

Three kinds of businesses get the most out of working with us.

Vancouver service businesses

Plumbers, electricians, dentists, restaurants, fireplace dealers, contractors, clinics, real estate brokers, lawyers — anyone whose customers are searching with local intent. If your business depends on phone calls, bookings, or walk-ins from people nearby, local SEO is the highest-leverage channel you can invest in.

Multi-location operators

Businesses with two, five, or twenty locations have specific challenges: location pages that compete with each other, GBP management at scale, and the operational discipline to keep everything consistent. We've built the workflows for it.

SMBs without a marketing team

You don't have a marketing director and you don't want to hire one. You need an outsourced team that handles strategy, execution, and reporting at a fraction of the cost of an in-house hire. That's the role we play.

We’re also built specifically for owners who’ve been burned before. If you’ve worked with an agency that locked you into a 12-month contract, hid behind jargon, or held your accounts hostage when you tried to leave, you’ll find our model designed in deliberate opposition to all of that.

 
Why Us

How we're different
