Rankings for buying searches
We target the phrases people use when they are ready to hire, not vague terms that only look good in a report.
SEO in Ottawa, measured in leads, not jargon.
People are searching for what you sell today. SEO decides whether they find you or a competitor. We do the technical work, the content and the reporting, and we show you every month what moved.

The cost of waiting
If you are not on page one, you are not in the running.
Very few people click through to the second page of Google. The businesses on page one take nearly all the calls, month after month, without paying for each click.
Every month you wait, your competitors add more pages, more reviews and more history. SEO rewards whoever started earlier. The best time to start was last year. The second best is this week.

Step by step
How it works, from first call to results.
Google itself says SEO usually takes four months to a year to show its full benefit. Technical fixes often show movement sooner. Anyone promising a number one ranking in weeks is not telling you the truth.

Audit
A full review of your site, your rankings and the three competitors beating you.
- Weeks 2 to 4
Fix the foundations
Technical issues, titles and existing pages are corrected first, because that is where the fastest gains are.
- Month 2 onward
Build the pages you are missing
Service and area pages written and published on a steady schedule.
- Ongoing
Earn authority
Citations, links and reviews that tell Google you are the established choice.
- Monthly
Report and adjust
Each month you see what moved, what did not and what we are doing next.
How we prove it
Results you can check yourself.
We agree on what success looks like before we start, then report against it every month. The numbers come from your own Google and Meta accounts, and your dashboard refreshes them every day, with a change log of every key change we make.
What we report on
- Tracked keyword positionsmonth over month
- Calls and forms from searchnot just clicks
- Organic visitorsfrom Search Console
- Pages indexedand error free
Is it for you
An honest fit check.
A good fit if
- You want a steady flow of leads that does not depend on ad spend
- You are willing to invest for at least six months
- Your competitors outrank you for searches you should own
Probably not if
- You need leads next week (ads are the faster tool, and we will tell you so)
- You want a guaranteed number one ranking. Nobody honest can promise that
Questions
SEO: common questions.
How long until I see results?
Expect early movement within the first two to three months and stronger results between months four and twelve. You get a report every month so you are never guessing.
Can you guarantee a number one ranking?
No, and Google says clearly that no one can. What we guarantee is the work, full transparency and a monthly report you can verify yourself in Search Console.
What do you report on?
Positions for your tracked keywords, organic traffic, and the calls and form leads that came from search. All of it is in your dashboard at any time.
How much does SEO cost, and is there a contract?
SEO plans start at $300 a month, or $500 a month together with Local SEO. Plans are month to month. SEO needs time, so we suggest at least six months, and committing for 6 or 12 months lowers your price by 5% or 10%.
