How Our SEO Helps Calgary Businesses
Step 1: SEO Audit
The first step to helping your website rank is to perform an audit. We need to analyze how well you rank against your competitors in Calgary. What are they excelling in? What do you excel in? And what do we need to do to get you to outrank your competitor?
Step 2: On-Site SEO Changes
Now we know why your competitors are outranking you. Our next step is to ensure that all on-site optimizations are taken care of now. This includes: optimizing your backend coding, fleshing out each existing page with the necessary content, creating new service pages to meet SEO needs.

Step 3: Technical SEO
You have 10 – 15 seconds from click to load to grab a user’s attention, this makes page speed one of the most important technical SEO optimizations. You want your website to load as fast as possible, but our job will be to keep it within the 2- 4 second range. Anything higher is not viable for converting users. In addition, we implement a variety of security functions, CDN and other technologies to protect your website.
Step 4: Link & Citation Building
Links from other local Calgary directories and businesses will go a long way to helping you rank. The key is finding these links, as you need to develop relationships with other businesses, which is what we do. In addition, we create and manage a network of directories across Canada. These directories offer a lot of value to people and thus give us a unique advantage over other SEO agencies in Calgary.

Step 5: Content Marketing & SEO
The top-ranking signal in 2022 is content. Content marketing is the part of SEO that involves creating content that is both persuasive and educational. This is because Google pays attention to how long people are engaging with your content and if they are linking to it. That is why when we create content, it has to be useful, but also be something that other small business will want to share and link too.
Step 6: Keep Learning & Adapting
You’ll learn that Google’s SEO algorithm is constantly changing. Multiple times per year Google puts out an algorithm update that changes the weighting of ranking factors. The most recent update was just in May 2022. This core update is now causing Google to focus on the quality of your content and how complete it is. This is because Google wants to rank businesses that truly covers all details of the industry they work in.

Frequently Asked SEO Questions
There is a lot to know about SEO, so we’ll try and answer the most frequently asked questions. Of course, we are always just one phone call away.
How Much Should SEO Cost?
How much SEO costs is going to depend on the market and industry you are in, and Calgary is a very competitive market. That said if you are in a niche industry or one that hasn’t started adopting SEO yet, your cost won’t be too bad. On average, small businesses in Calgary can expect to pay $750 per month on SEO. If you are in a very competitive industry, you can expect SEO to cost $1,000 or more per month.
What Is Included In Our SEO Packages?
Each SEO plan is a bit different and is based on an analysis of your position in the Calgary market. But, each SEO package will include the following to some extent:
- On-Site Optimizations
- Google My Business Optimization
- Link & Citation Building
- Copy Writing
- Content Marketing
- Reputation Management
Should I Also Do PPC?
Google Ads or pay-per-click ads are the best way to drive leads to your business as fast as possible. We can specifically target users in Calgary, Airdrie, or anywhere. The thing to keep in mind is that pay-per-click does not influence your organic rankings, but it does help get you leads immediately.
How Long Does It Take For My Rankings To Improve
For most industries in Calgary, SEO is very competitive. On average, it will take roughly 90 days before you begin to see improvements in your rankings. In some industries, it will take 6 – 12 months before you start to see first page rankings.
What Is Technical SEO?
One of the most important on-site changes done to a website is Technical SEO, which is all of the coding changes we do to a website that improves your visibility on Google/Yahoo/Bing. These are factors that are all behind the seasons and involve going through and carefully editing your website’s code to improve its relevancy to each search engine.
Technical SEO Elements Are:
Image Alt Tags:
Image alt tags apply additional context, so Google’s search algorithm knows what your picture is about.
Mobile Responsiveness:
With more users using mobile devices to find businesses, it’s important to make sure your website looks great on both desktops and smartphones.
Page Speed:
The faster a website loads, the more likely a user will actually take the time to read all of it. Ideally, you want your website to load in under 4 seconds, though 2 seconds should be your target.
What Is Content Marketing in SEO?
Content marketing is the process of creating blog posts and other content to rank yourself for long-tail keywords and to establish yourself as an authority with Google. These pieces of content should offer real value to the reader, this way other websites will want to link to you as a valuable source of content.
For example, read this blog post about the importance of using negative keywords. You should never be afraid to give clients insight into how to do something better, as it helps build trust.
