01 · What we do

What we do for your local visibility

Four areas of work that decide whether Google shows your business to people searching close by.

01

Profile setup and cleanup

We claim or verify your Google Business Profile, choose the right primary and secondary categories and fill in services, hours and service areas. Duplicate or outdated listings get merged or removed so Google sees one clear business.

02

Local keyword map

We find the phrases people in your part of the city actually type, like "emergency plumber Etobicoke" or "nail salon Liberty Village". Those terms shape your profile services, posts and the matching pages on your website.

03

Photos, posts and schema

We publish fresh posts and real photos every month so the listing looks active and trustworthy. On your site we add LocalBusiness schema markup and a clear location page that backs up the profile.

04

Reviews and consistency

We set up a simple way to ask happy customers for reviews and write replies in your tone. Your name, address and phone stay identical across Apple Maps, Bing Places, Yelp and Canadian directories.

02 · Who it’s for

Who local SEO is for

It pays off when your customers live or work near you and pick a business from the map, not from a long list of websites.

  1. 01

    Storefronts, offices and studios

    You have a physical address in Toronto or the GTA and want people nearby to find it, check your hours and walk in.

  2. 02

    Contractors and home services

    You drive to clients across a service area, from Etobicoke to Scarborough or Vaughan, and most jobs start with a "near me" search on a phone.

  3. 03

    Clinics, salons, cafes and gyms

    Customers choose fast and close to home. Photos, star rating and opening hours often decide the call before they ever open your website.

  4. 04

    Businesses competing on reputation

    Competitors down the street have more or fresher reviews, and you need a steady system for collecting and answering them instead of occasional bursts.

03 · What’s included

How we work

A focused first month to fix the foundation, then steady monthly work you can track.

  3. 03

    Citations and schema

    We clean up your name, address and phone on key Canadian directories and add structured data to the website.

  4. 04

    Monthly posts and reviews

    We publish updates and photos, run the review request flow and reply to new reviews in the tone we agreed on.

    Report and adjust

    Each month you see calls, website clicks, direction requests and positions for your main local terms, with the next steps.

How much does local SEO cost in Toronto?

Local SEO with Google Business Profile management starts at $600 per month in CAD before HST. After a free call we give you a fixed monthly quote based on how many locations and service areas you have.

How long until we rank higher in Google Maps?

Profile fixes can show movement within a few weeks, but steady growth in the local pack usually takes 3 to 6 months. Nobody can promise a specific map position, since distance to the searcher plays a big role, so we start with a 3-month period and report progress monthly.

We have no storefront. Can you still help?

Yes. Google lets contractors and mobile services hide their address and show a service area instead, for example Toronto, Mississauga and Vaughan. We set that up correctly and support it with location pages on your website.

Can you remove bad reviews or add positive ones?

We never buy or write fake reviews, and honest negative reviews cannot be removed on request. We flag reviews that clearly break Google rules, write calm public replies and build a steady flow of genuine reviews from real customers.

What if our profile is suspended or stuck in verification?

We look for the usual causes, such as a virtual office address or keywords added to the business name, fix them and file a reinstatement request. If Google asks for video verification, we tell you exactly what to show on camera.
