01
How much does SEO cost in Ottawa?
+
Our plans for Google Maps and the main Google results (local and organic SEO) run $1,497 to $5,000 a month, and $5,000+ a month when you have several websites. Every plan is month to month and includes AI SEO. Where you land depends on your service, how many parts of Ottawa and the towns around it you want to win and how strong the businesses above you are. You get your exact number on the free strategy call.
02
How long does SEO take in Ottawa?
+
You should see the first improvements within 20 days. If you don’t see visible improvement in your key metrics within the first 20 days, we refund $200 on top of returning your payment for that period. If your qualifying keywords aren’t on the first page of Google within 60 days, we keep working for free until they are.
03
Is SEO worth it for a small business in Ottawa?
+
Yes, if you’re already doing $20,000 a month or more and want more of the same work. Ads charge you for every click, and the price climbs when everyone bids in the same snowstorm or the same storm season. A page-one ranking keeps bringing in leads without a bill for every click, and our guarantees put dates on it: visible improvement in 20 days, qualifying keywords on page one in 60.
04
What does an Ottawa SEO company actually do?
+
Eight jobs, all done for you: we set up and run your Google Business Profile, grow your Google reviews, fix your local listings, fix your website so Google can read it, build a page for each service and area you serve, earn mentions on trusted websites, get you into AI answers, and show you every ranking each month so you can check it on Google yourself.
05
Have you ranked businesses in Ontario?
+
Yes. Burloak Centre Dentistry is #1 on Google for “emergency dental care centre Oakville” and “cosmetic dentistry Oakville”, Chapman McAlpine is #1 for “Barrie family lawyers”, and EquityRich is #1 for “commercial mortgage Toronto”. Candace and Basil went from #10 to #1 on Google Maps in Mississauga. On the call, we show you results in your own industry.
06
Do you work with businesses in Gatineau too?
+
Yes. Google treats Gatineau as its own market, even though it sits across the river, so a business that serves both sides gets its own pages and search targets for each. We track the searches your customers actually type, in English and in French, and show you where you stand on both sides of the river.
07
How do I choose an SEO company in Ottawa?
+
Ask every agency three things: what will move in 20 days, what will be on page one in 60, and what happens if it isn’t. Then ask for client names and rankings you can search yourself, and a price. We answer all of it in writing, and we’re rated 4.8 on Google from 197 reviews.
08
How do you optimize a Google Business Profile in Ottawa?
+
We choose the categories that match what your customers search, list every service, add real photos and post regular updates, and keep new reviews coming in with a reply to each one. Reviews are one of the signals Google weighs. Then we make sure your name, address and phone number match on every directory Google checks, so it trusts your Ottawa location.
09
My business is in Kanata, Barrhaven or Orléans. Can I rank across Ottawa too?
+
Yes. Google Maps favours businesses close to the person searching, so you win your own area first. Then we build a page for each part of Ottawa you serve, check your ranking from a grid of points across it, and point your listings and mentions at the areas where you aren’t in the top three yet.
10
My work is seasonal. When should I start SEO?
+
About two months before you need the calls. In Ottawa, snow removal searches climb from 110 a month to 1,900, and people sign up for the season before the first big snowfall. Furnace repair climbs from 210 to 1,000 when the cold sets in, and landscaping from 320 to 1,600 in spring. Rankings take weeks to build, so the businesses that start early are the ones in the top three when the rush arrives.
11
How do I reach you from Ottawa?
+
Call our Canadian line on +1 437 561 0203, 9am to 5pm Eastern, which is Ottawa’s own time zone, or book a free strategy call. Every strategy call runs on Google Meet, and we check your rankings from Ottawa itself, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, so you see what your customers see.
12
Can I rank in Ottawa and Kanata at the same time?
+
Yes. Google shows different businesses in each, so each area gets its own pages and its own search targets, and a second location gets its own Google Business Profile. That is how Candace and Basil won two cities at once: their Mississauga store went from #10 to #1 on Google Maps while their Toronto store went from #18 to #2.
13
Do you build backlinks for Ottawa businesses?
+
Yes. Google ranks the businesses other websites vouch for, so we earn mentions and links from Ottawa and Ontario news and community sites, business associations, suppliers and partners. No spam, no link farms and nothing that could get your website penalized.
14
Can you get my business into Google’s AI answers and ChatGPT?
+
AI SEO is included in every plan, and it works to get your business named when people ask Google’s AI or ChatGPT who to hire in Ottawa. EquityRich is cited in Google’s AI answers for “commercial mortgage Toronto”, and Angkorscape is named in Google’s AI answers for Seattle.
15
Am I locked into a long contract?
+
No. Every plan is month to month, and results keep you here, not paperwork. We work with established businesses already doing $20,000 a month or more, and we take on 15 new clients a month so we can keep the ranking promises we make to the clients we already have.
