LOCAL SEO · CALGARY
When someone in Calgary searches for what you do, Google shows three businesses on the map before any website. We look after your Google Business Profile and the pages on your site that decide whether you are one of those three.
RESULTS FROM LOCAL SEARCH
The Tone Doctrine is an independent hair colourist. Her clients came from Instagram, Facebook and referrals, she had no Google Business Profile, and people searching for hair colour in Calgary could not find her. We built a site around local search demand and launched the profile under her own name. The numbers below are from the published case study.
FROM OUR AUDITS
A client's profile lost its local visibility, and nothing obvious explained it. The cause was one setting: "Canada" had been added as a service area. Google took it literally, and the business's map presence drifted to the middle of an area thousands of kilometres wide instead of its own city. We removed the country-wide area, set a local radius, and the local rankings came back. The full story is in what being booked two weeks ahead actually requires.
Set your service area to the places you actually serve. A country-wide service area makes a local business relevant everywhere, and in the map results that means nowhere.
MAP OR WEBSITE
For a search like "plumber near me", Google shows a map with three businesses above the normal results. People call straight from there, often without opening a website.
The primary category is the strongest signal you control directly. Reviews and recent posts count as well.
The site backs the profile up. Each service gets a page built around what people in your area type, with your best reviews next to the Book button.
If the site itself needs rebuilding, that is our website design work in Calgary.
WHAT LOCAL SEO COSTS
From our breakdown of what SEO costs in Canada: small business retainers run $1,000 to $3,500 a month, and single-location local SEO sits at the lower end. Hourly consultants charge $100 to $250, and fixed projects run $3,000 to $15,000 and up.
Packages under $500 a month rarely contain enough hours to move rankings. At $300 a month you are buying two to three hours of work.
Our prices live on the pricing page. The quote itself comes after a 30-minute conversation, once we have seen your profile, your site and what people search for in your category: one flat monthly fee, in writing.
Nothing beyond the agreed fee is added without it in writing first.
HOW WE WORK
STEP 01
Categories, services, hours, photos and service area checked against what Calgary buyers search for. One wrong setting can hide you, so nothing is assumed.
STEP 02
A one-tap review link sent right after the job, while the client is happiest, and every review answered. A steady flow of recent reviews counts for more than an old pile.
STEP 03
Service pages on your site written for the searches people make in your area, plus technical and on-page fixes so Google can read them.
STEP 04
Photos from real jobs and a post most weeks. Once a month you see what the profile and the site brought in, with what we change next.
We run 14+ live AI workflows in our own operations. In local SEO they take the repetitive parts: search research, first drafts of posts and page copy, and the monthly report. A person reads and approves all of it: nothing ships unreviewed.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Categories, services, hours, service area and photos, set up under your own business name.
A direct review link for text or email, a routine for asking after every job, and replies to every review, including the awkward ones.
Work photos, seasonal notes and current offers, so the profile looks active next to competitors' profiles that have not changed since the day they were created.
Pages on your site for each service and the areas you cover, with reviews placed next to the booking button.
Technical and on-page fixes on the site, so the pages load fast on a phone and Google can index them.
Calls, direction requests, website visits and clicks on Book, reported monthly with a plain note on what changes next.

QUESTIONS OWNERS ASK
Local search and the Google Business Profile move in weeks to months. If you need enquiries this month, paid ads bring first leads in days to weeks.
Start wherever your demand already lives. If people search for your category, start with Google and your Business Profile. If trust and visuals sell your service, Meta ads plus organic content fit better.
The price depends on the work involved and what you already have, so we quote after the first conversation, in writing, as one flat monthly fee. Nothing beyond the agreed fee is added without it in writing first. Our service prices are on the pricing page.
No. We guarantee the process: transparent tracking, and the honesty to cut what is not working.
The numbers tied to your goal, usually four to eight of them, all connected to dollars. Follower counts do not make the report.
AI speeds up research, first drafts and reporting. We run 14+ live AI workflows in our own operations. A person makes the strategy calls and has the final word, and nothing ships unreviewed.
You do. Accounts, creative and data are yours, everything is handoff-ready from day one, and if we stop working together you keep a working system.
Thirty minutes, online or in person in Calgary. We open your Google profile together and tell you what we would fix first. If you want to see prices before we talk, they are on the pricing page.
