Most people find a local business the same way. They search on Google, look at the map and the first few results, and call one of them. If you are not in those results, you are not in the running. We offer SEO in Ottawa to help you earn a place there.
What local SEO covers
- Your Google Business Profile. The right categories, services, photos, hours and regular updates. This profile decides whether you appear in the map results.
- Reviews. Google says more reviews and positive ratings can help your local ranking. We help you set up a simple way to ask for them.
- A page for each service. One page trying to rank for everything usually ranks for nothing. Each main service gets its own page that answers what customers want to know.
- Technical health. No broken links or duplicate pages, and the behind-the-scenes details that tell Google what each page is about.
- Consistent listings. Your name, address and phone number should match everywhere, from Yelp and YellowPages to industry directories.
What the work involves
- Audit. We review your site, your Google Business Profile and what your competitors rank for.
- Plan. We use real search data to pick the searches worth going after, based on how many people search and how hard each one is to win.
- Fix the foundation. Technical problems, missing pages and profile gaps come first.
- Build steadily. Each month we add or improve pages, earn listings and track what moves.
- Report. You get a short monthly report in plain English: what we did, what changed and what comes next.
How long SEO takes
SEO is slow at the start. New pages usually take a few months to settle in Google’s results. That is why we pair SEO with quick wins, like fixing your Google Business Profile and getting your first reviews, which can bring calls sooner.
If your website itself is holding you back, start with a website redesign. Good SEO on a slow, confusing site is money poorly spent.
