6 answers before you claim your audit
What does a local SEO agency in Canada do for my business?
We examine your service areas, improve local pages and business listings, repair technical issues and track enquiries. Your free audit identifies where to start.
How fast will my local search results improve?
We ship fixes and pages within hours or days. Search results take longer; timing varies by market and starting point. We do not guarantee rankings.
How much does local SEO cost?
Pricing varies with your locations, competition and required work. Your free audit gives us a starting point for your plan.
How do I see what you’re doing?
Your Glass Box Portal stays open 24/7. It tracks rankings, leads, spend and change history, letting you check progress without chasing updates.
Will you take on my direct competitor?
No. We accept one major client for each niche and region, never serving direct competitors. Ask about your service area and niche at your audit.
Why combine local SEO with other channels?
Google Ads search terms inform local pages, conversion fixes make enquiries easier, and clear business information supports AI-search visibility. Your team uses the channels together to focus on leads and revenue.
