New — I started in 2026 and I'm still building my client roster. You can see the sites I've built on the Work page and visit them yourself. That also means you get more attention than you would from a shop with forty accounts on the go. If you'd rather hire someone with fifteen years of case studies, that's a completely reasonable call and I won't try to talk you out of it.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Google decides rankings, and it says so itself. What I can promise is the work that moves rankings: a properly optimized Google Business Profile, consistent listings, a website that makes your business clear, and a steady flow of real reviews. You'll see exactly where you rank before we start and every month after, so you can judge the results yourself.
Fixing an incomplete Google Business Profile can move things within a few weeks. Climbing in a competitive category or area usually takes three to six months of steady work. I'll tell you honestly, based on the audit, which of those you're looking at before you spend anything.
More people now ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI answers who to call instead of scrolling through results. Those assistants build their answers from your website, your Google profile, your reviews and the directories that mention you. AI search optimization makes all of that clear, consistent and easy for them to read — structured data, plain answers to common questions, and matching facts everywhere. It's the same foundation as good local SEO, taken one step further.
Not necessarily. A lot of local SEO happens on your Google Business Profile and in listings, not on your site. But if your website is slow, unclear, or doesn't say what you do and where, it holds everything else back — and I'll tell you if that's the case, even when the answer is the cheaper one.
It depends on what you actually need — how competitive your area is, whether the website needs work, and how much ongoing help you want. Local SEO is usually a one-time setup and then a monthly plan; websites are a one-time project. Rather than publish a figure that's wrong for your situation, I'll start with the free audit and come back with a fixed, itemized number. No hourly billing, no surprises, no obligation to say yes.
A landing page is usually one to two weeks. A business website is three to six. The part that slows projects down is almost always waiting on content and feedback, so if you're quick, I'm quick.
No. I'm in Ottawa and happy to meet in person if you're local, but most of this works fine over a call and email. I work with businesses across Canada and the U.S.
I can, and it's included in the quote if you want it. Some people would rather write their own — that's fine too, and it's cheaper. What doesn't work is a half-finished document three weeks after launch, so we'll agree up front which of us is doing it.
Yes. I set it up so you can change text, photos, and prices without calling me. Anything structural, I'd rather you asked — that's what the care plan is for.
Then the first question is whether it needs replacing or just fixing. Sometimes it's a rebuild. Sometimes it's a faster host, a clearer homepage, and a phone number people can actually find. I'll tell you which one it is, even when the answer is the cheaper one.
You tell me your business, what customers search for, and the area you serve. I check where you actually show up — Google Maps across your area, regular search results, and what AI assistants say when asked for someone like you — plus your Google Business Profile, reviews and website. You get back a short, plain-English summary: where you stand, the two or three things holding you back, and what I'd fix first. No automated score out of 100. If you want me to do the work, there's a quote at the bottom. If not, the list is yours.
