Local SEO vs. growth SEO: which one do you need?
If customers search for you by area — “dentist near Kitsilano,” “plumber Burnaby,” “restaurant Gastown” — you need Local SEO. The work centres on your Google Business Profile, consistent citations, reviews, and location-specific pages.
If you're competing beyond your immediate neighbourhood — for a province-wide or national audience — you need Growth SEO: ongoing technical fixes, new and rewritten pages every month, and link outreach.
What a technical SEO audit covers
Our audit is a prioritized action list, not a PDF that sits in a folder. We look at the whole picture:
- —Crawl errors, indexing problems, and redirect issues
- —Site speed and Core Web Vitals
- —Metadata, headings, and on-page content
- —Schema (structured data) and local business markup
- —Content gaps against what your market is searching for
SEO for the Vancouver market
Vancouver search results for competitive terms like web design, real estate, and wellness are crowded. Winning usually means being more specific and more useful than the incumbents: dedicated pages for each service and neighbourhood you serve, a fully optimized Google Business Profile, and a site fast enough that it doesn't lose people on mobile.
We don't promise rankings — nobody honest can. We do promise a clear plan, visible work every month, and a site that's technically sound enough to compete.
