What our Local SEO services include

From local keyword research to reputation management and Google Business Profile optimization, we take care of everything you need to climb the local search rankings.

  • Local SEO audit

    We start with a comprehensive audit to uncover what’s working, what’s not, and where your best opportunities are. From your Google Business Profile to local citations, NAP consistency, and competitors, we dig deep.

  • Local keyword research

    We research geo-specific keywords that your potential customers are already using, then map them to your services and locations to help you rank for high-intent local searches.

  • Google Business Profile optimization

    We fully optimize your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business), making sure your hours, location, services, and reviews are up-to-date, and your business shows up in the map pack.

  • Local content writing

    We create (and optimize) content with your location in mind. We do this across the website, such as service area pages to blog posts, to help Google understand where you operate and improve your local rankings.

    Our services 

  • Local link building

    We help build your local authority by getting high-quality backlinks, brand mentions, and citations from local websites, directories, and industry-specific listings.

Local businesses we work with (in Vancouver and across North America)

Local SEO isn’t just for restaurants (though we love those too). We help a wide range of businesses grow their presence in their communities, including:

Local home services

Your customers are looking for fast, local help, and usually on their phone. We help you show up in the map pack, build trust with reviews, and expand your visibility across all your service areas. 

Clinics and wellness providers

Local SEO is essential for healthcare and wellness providers. We help you appear in trusted results and drive more bookings from nearby clients looking for services like therapy, massage, chiropractic, dental, and more.

Legal & professional services

People search locally for lawyers, accountants, and consultants, but ranking in this space takes a lot more. We help you stand out with optimized content, backlinks, and an authoritative Google presence

Bars and restaurants

From “best brunch near me” to late-night pizza searches, we make sure your business appears in Google Maps and local searches. We optimize your menu, business profile, and location keywords to help more hungry customers find you.

Don’t see your industry? Reach out anyway. If your customers are local, we can help you reach them.

Local SEO FAQs

How is local SEO different from regular SEO?

While traditional SEO targets national or global rankings, local SEO is all about ranking in a specific area. It focuses on Google Maps visibility, “near me” searches, and attracting customers within your geographic service area.

How long does local SEO take to see results?

You might see early results in as little as 1–3 months, especially with optimizations to your Google Business Profile and reviews. That said, the real momentum builds over 3–6 months of consistent work.

Do I need to update my Google Business Profile regularly?

Yes! Google favours active profiles. We help you update it regularly with posts, reviews, photos, and info to stay competitive and relevant in your area.
