What we do
Vancouver SEO, done at the source.
We're a web design studio first, so we fix SEO where it actually lives — in the build. Four disciplines, one team accountable from audit to ranking.
Local SEO
Google Business Profile, map-pack, and citation work so you show up when someone in Vancouver searches for what you do — with consistent NAP, real reviews surfaced, and the geo-grid moving in your favour.
Technical SEO
Core Web Vitals, crawlability, schema, and site architecture fixed at the code level. We build in Next.js and Webflow, so the technical foundation is handled, not bolted on after launch.
On-page & content
Money pages and guides written to match real search intent — the pages that earn the RFQ, book the consult, or sell the unit, not thin blog filler that never ranks.
AI-search visibility (GEO)
Entity and schema work plus share-of-answer tracking, so you get named when buyers ask ChatGPT or Claude who to hire in Vancouver — the search surface most agencies still ignore.
Why Side
SEO that compounds, not churns.
We rank pages that sell
Traffic that never converts is a vanity metric. We target the commercial searches your buyers actually type — and build the page that turns that click into a booked customer.
Technical work, done properly
Most SEO stalls on a slow, badly-structured site. We fix the foundation — speed, schema, architecture — because Google and AI assistants both reward sites that are genuinely well-built.
Reported in outcomes, not jargon
You get rankings, leads, and share-of-answer — not a dashboard of impressions you can't act on. Every month closes with what moved and what we're doing next.
The new search surface
Get named when buyers ask AI.
Your customers are asking ChatGPT and Claude who to hire in Vancouver — and those answers are shaped by entities, schema, and citations, not blue-link rankings alone. Our AI-Search Visibility retainer tracks your share-of-answer and does the entity work to put you in the response. See the playbook in our guide on how to show up in ChatGPT recommendations.
How we work
Audit. Fix. Build. Compound.
01
Audit
We map your rankings, your competitors, and the gap between the searches that matter and where you sit today — technical, local, and AI-search.
02
Fix
Technical foundation first, then the money pages and local signals. We ship fixes, not slide decks — most land in the first 30 days.
03
Build
New pages and content mapped to intent, entity and schema work for AI search, and citation building to grow local prominence.
04
Compound
Monthly iteration on real behaviour and share-of-answer, so rankings hold and keep climbing — SEO is a compounding asset, not a one-off project.
Pricing
SEO from $1,500/mo.
AI-Search Visibility from $1,500/mo · Studio Continuity from $2,500/mo · one-off technical and money-page builds fold into a Studio Sprint from $8k. Real floors for Vancouver founders, not bait.
FAQ
Common Vancouver SEO questions.
How much does SEO cost in Vancouver?
Our SEO work runs as a monthly retainer from $1,500/mo for AI-Search Visibility, or from $2,500/mo for Studio Continuity, which bundles CRO, content, and AI-search together. One-off technical SEO and money-page builds can also fold into a Studio Sprint from $8k. Final scope depends on how competitive your keywords are and how much technical debt the site carries — the floors are real, not bait.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical and on-page fixes can move rankings within weeks; local map-pack and competitive commercial keywords typically take three to six months to compound. Anyone promising page-one in 30 days is selling you something. We report what moved each month so you see progress before the big wins land.
What makes you different from other Vancouver SEO companies?
We're a web design studio first, so we fix SEO at the source — site speed, structure, and schema — instead of layering tactics onto a broken foundation. And we work the AI-search surface most agencies still ignore: getting you named when buyers ask ChatGPT or Claude who to hire.
Do you do local SEO and Google Business Profile work?
Yes. Local SEO is core: Google Business Profile optimization, citation consistency, map-pack strategy, and the on-page and schema work that ties your site to your physical Vancouver presence. We treat NAP consistency and local prominence as first-class ranking signals.
Can you help us show up in ChatGPT and AI search?
That's exactly what our AI-Search Visibility work is for. We do the entity and schema work and track your share-of-answer, so when someone asks an AI assistant for the best studio or provider in Vancouver, your name is in the answer. Our guide on how to show up in ChatGPT recommendations covers the playbook in detail.
Do you only work with Vancouver businesses?
We're based in Vancouver and much of our work is local, but we run SEO for founders across Canada and beyond. Local clients get in-person sessions; remote clients get the same Pacific-time responsiveness and the same reporting.
