Be the business Google and AI assistants recommend

A local SEO agency makes your business appear when nearby customers search for what you sell, especially in the map results at the top of Google. We focus on the places people actually look and the steps that influence who gets the call.

That starts with a complete and accurate Google Business Profile, followed by service and location pages on your website, consistent listings across the web and a steady flow of genuine reviews. For businesses that serve several cities, we plan which areas deserve their own pages and which should be covered by a single, well-written service area page. If you want to see how this fits into a wider plan, read our guide to choosing a digital marketing agency in Canada.

AEO, or answer engine optimization, means making your business easy for AI assistants to understand, trust and recommend. Nobody controls what ChatGPT or Gemini says, but you can make the facts about you clear, consistent and easy to find.

• Plain statements on your site about what you do, where, for whom and at what kind of price structure
• Question-shaped headings and short direct answers on service pages
• Consistent business details across your site, profile, directories and social accounts
• Genuine reviews that mention the services and neighbourhoods you cover
• Structured data on your pages so machines can read your hours, services and address
• A monthly check on how several assistants describe you, with notes on what to fix

Our longer explainer, what an AEO agency in Canada does, goes into more detail.

The scope depends on how many locations and services you have, and your written quote lists each item. A typical ongoing engagement covers the following.

• Google Business Profile setup or cleanup, including categories, services, photos and regular posts
• Listings cleanup so your name, address and phone number match everywhere
• Keyword and question research based on what customers in your area search
• Service and location pages, written and reviewed by a person
• Review request system and reply drafts in your voice, which you approve
• Technical checks in Search Console, such as indexing, speed on phones and broken pages
• Call tracking with CallRail so you can see which listings and pages make the phone ring
• Monthly tracking of Google, Maps and AI assistant answers

If your site needs a rebuild first, our website service handles that.

Local SEO is usually priced as a one-off audit or setup, followed by a monthly retainer. The monthly amount depends on how competitive your area is, how many locations you have and how much content you need written.

• Audit: a fixed price for a one to two week review and a written plan
• Setup project: a fixed-scope project to fix your profile, listings and key pages
• Monthly work: a month-to-month fee for content, reviews, tracking and reporting, with 30 days' notice to stop

You get a fixed written quote after a free 30-minute call. Your Google Business Profile, analytics and Search Console stay in your name, so if you ever leave, the work stays with you.

Google Business Profile fixes can help within weeks, while organic search rankings usually take three to six months to build. AI answers follow a similar pattern, because assistants rely on the same pages and reviews that help you rank.

We do not promise a position, and nobody can honestly guarantee one, because Google and the AI tools change how they work. What we do commit to is agreed goals, such as calls from your profile, direction requests, form enquiries and how often you are named in AI answers, reported to you every month. In a competitive city it may take longer, and we say so at the start rather than after you have paid.

Businesses that customers choose by location, such as clinics, home services, restaurants and professional offices, gain the most. If people search with words like 'near me' or add a city name, local SEO is likely worth your time.

Dental and health practices in particular need careful wording, and we write to your regulator's current standards. Our dental marketing guide shows how that works in practice. Home service companies and restaurants tend to see the quickest change from profile and review work, while professional firms often get more from clear service pages.
