Being great at what you do isn't enough if nobody finds you.
Most of the local businesses we look at do excellent work. They're just invisible at the exact moment someone nearby is ready to hire — and the call goes to whoever shows up first.
Top 3
You're not in the map results
When someone nearby searches for what you do, Google shows three businesses on a map before any website. Fourth place might as well be page two.
AI
AI assistants don't mention you
When someone asks ChatGPT or Gemini who to call, it recommends businesses it can clearly understand and trust. A thin profile and a vague website leave you out of the answer.
1 tap
The click doesn't become a call
Even when someone finds you, a slow or unclear website sends them straight back to the next result. The phone number should be one tap away.
What we do
Four ways we make your business the obvious choice.
Local search now happens in two places — the map results on Google, and the answers AI assistants give. We work on both, and on the website and reviews they send people to.
How it works.
From “where do I actually stand?” to climbing — and you know the price before any work starts.
Free visibility audit
We check where you show up on Google Maps, in regular search and in AI answers across your area — and what's holding you back.
A fixed plan and quote
What we'd fix first, what it costs, and what you can realistically expect. No hourly meter, no long contract to decode.
Fix the foundation
Google Business Profile, listings, website and review system set up properly. Most of this happens in the first few weeks.
Climb, and keep climbing
Monthly work on rankings, content and reviews, with a plain-English report on where you moved and what's next.
Recent work
Real Ottawa businesses. Real sites you can visit.
The studio
A boutique studio, not a call centre.
MGR Digital Studio is based in Ottawa and deliberately small. Every client gets senior attention, honest advice about what will actually move the needle, and fast turnaround — some sites have gone live the day after we started.
- You deal directly with the person doing the work — no account managers.
- Plain-English monthly reports: where you rank, what changed, what's next.
- English and Spanish, for clients in Canada, the U.S. and beyond.
We're not right for everyone.
Easier to say now than on a call three weeks in.
Probably a good fit
- You're a good local business that doesn't show up when people nearby search for what you do.
- You run a small business and your website isn't pulling its weight.
- You want to talk to the person actually building it.
- You want it done fast — some projects have gone live the very next day.
Probably not
- You want to hand off the project and never look at it again — I'll still need your input and feedback along the way.
- Anything well outside straightforward web and marketing work — a full brand identity system, a custom app, a big ad campaign. Happy to talk it through either way: I'll take it on directly or bring in someone I trust, so you're not left managing two vendors.
Neither of those rules you out on its own — say so on the first call and we'll figure out the right way to handle it, either together or through someone I trust.
