Our Process
01
We audit your GBP listing, fix NAP inconsistencies, build citations, and optimize every field — categories, photos, posts, and Q&A — to maximize map pack eligibility.
02
Geo-targeted content, local link building, and conversion-focused landing pages work together to drive organic and paid traffic that turns into calls, visits, and bookings.
03
Ongoing review management, competitor monitoring, and performance reporting keep you ahead. We protect your rankings and continuously expand your local reach.
How To Choose
Every agency will tell you it's the right fit for a local business. Here's what to actually check before you hand over your marketing budget.
01 · Ask for proof
Local search ranks businesses on proximity, relevance, and prominence, not on how big the budget is. A tactic built for a national retailer often does nothing for a shop three streets from its closest competitor. Ask any agency to show you real, current map pack rankings for a business it manages today, not a highlight reel from years ago.
02 · Get it in writing
Local marketing quotes often bundle your ad spend and the agency's fee into a single monthly number, so you can't tell how much is actually reaching customers versus paying the agency. Ask for the split in writing before you sign anything.
03 · Stay flexible
A busy season, a new competitor two blocks over, or a chain store moving into the neighborhood can change what your business needs from marketing within a few months. A contract that locks you in for a year makes it hard to adjust when your street does.
04 · Reports you can trust
A good report should read like someone actually looked at your business this month, not a template with your business name swapped in. If you finish a report and still can't tell what changed or why, ask for a plain-English version. We write ours that way from the start.
05 · Keep your keys
Your Google Business Profile and analytics should be set up under your own business login, not the agency's internal account. If the agency owns the login, your rankings, reviews, and history disappear the day you leave, and local rankings can take months to rebuild from zero. Your Business Profile, ad accounts and analytics are in your name from day one.
Transparent Pricing
There are no setup fees and no long-term contracts. If the first 30 days don't show real work and results, that month is free. Here is how the plans work.
$1,000 USD a month ($1,350 CAD). You get a fast, mobile-first website with click-to-call and directions, built to rank, plus hosting and care, basic SEO and AI search setup, and the SearchPod dashboard for bookings, leads and email follow-ups. Full details at /pricing.
Ranking in the map pack depends on your Google Business Profile, consistent listings and pages built around each neighborhood you serve. On this plan we take that on, along with Google Ads and Meta Ads, and the fee is based on the results we bring in. Exact terms are in your proposal.
Local ad budgets get wasted fast on searches from outside your area, so we target by radius and neighborhood. Whatever you spend on ads goes to Google or Meta in full. No setup fee, month to month, and a 30-day guarantee.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most local businesses see meaningful map pack improvements within 60–90 days. We start with GBP optimization and citation building — these deliver early wins. Full local SEO campaigns typically achieve dominant positions within 4–6 months, depending on competition density in your market.
A Google Business Profile alone can generate map pack visibility, but a website dramatically improves your chances. Google uses your site to validate relevance, authority, and trust signals. We build fast, mobile-optimized landing pages that reinforce your GBP and convert search traffic into calls and visits.
Each location gets its own GBP listing, dedicated landing page, and location-specific content strategy. We manage citation consistency across all locations, set up geo-targeted ads for each service area, and provide location-level reporting so you can see performance at every storefront.
We specialize in the local search ecosystem — map pack rankings, GBP optimization, citation networks, and hyper-local content. National agencies often treat local as an afterthought. Every strategy we build is rooted in geographic relevance, neighborhood intent signals, and local competitive analysis.
We track calls, direction requests, website visits from GBP, form submissions, and booked appointments. Our dashboards connect marketing spend to real customer actions — so you see exactly how many new customers each channel delivers and what each lead costs.
Our service is one monthly retainer. The Platform plan is $1,000 USD a month and includes your website, hosting, basic SEO and AI search setup, and the SearchPod dashboard. The Performance plan is optional: we run your SEO, Google Ads and Meta Ads, and the fee follows the results we bring in. Ad spend is separate and goes to Google or Meta in full. No setup fees and no long-term contracts.
Ask to see real, current Google Business Profiles and map pack rankings an agency manages today, not old case studies. Get pricing in writing before you sign, and make sure you can leave without being locked into a long contract. You should also own your Google Business Profile and analytics accounts, not the agency.
No. We work month-to-month, so you can leave anytime. We also back the first month with a 30-day guarantee: if it doesn't show real work and real results, that month is free.
We're a Canadian agency with offices in Toronto and North Vancouver, and we're an official Google Partner. A real team manages your account, start to finish.
