Local Business Marketing — Alberta
Three businesses sit in the box above the search results and take most of the phone calls. Position there is decided by proximity, your Google Business Profile and review activity — not by how your website looks. Most owners have never deliberately worked on any of it.

Where Local Businesses Lose
None of these need a budget. All three cost calls every week.
Categories guessed at opening and never revisited, half the services missing, no hours for holidays, questions unanswered, and the last photo from three years ago. This is the highest-return asset a local business owns, it is free, and almost nobody maintains it.
Asking a happy customer occasionally, when someone remembers. A systematic request at the moment people are most pleased changes the count materially inside a quarter, and map pack position follows the count more closely than owners expect.
You are on a job, at a counter, or it is 7pm. The caller does not leave a message, they call the next result. We test this on every audit and it fails more often than any other check we run.
Free, No Obligation
Two business days. No deck.
We will show you where you sit in the map pack across your actual catchment, who is above you and why, how your review pace compares, what happens when someone calls after hours, and the three things worth fixing first.
Two business days. Straight to your inbox.
The Work
Six things that happen every month. Three of them cost nothing but attention.
Categories chosen against what actually ranks in your part of the city, every service listed, hours right including holidays, photos added on a schedule, questions answered. Free, and the highest-return thing on this page.
An automatic request by text at the moment people are most likely to say yes, and every review answered including the difficult ones. The reply is read by your next customer more carefully than the review.
Routing with an automatic text back within seconds so a lead is held while you finish what you are doing, every call and form recorded, and anything unanswered flagged.
One strong page for each thing you genuinely do, written for how people actually search. Not forty near-identical neighbourhood pages, which Google has treated as one page for years.
Speed, mobile rendering, structured data so your address and hours are machine-readable, and a hunt for pages competing with each other. Fixed once, not billed monthly.
Calls, forms and bookings month over month, next to what we changed. If the number that pays your staff is not moving, we would rather tell you early.
How We Start
The free things first, because they show first.
Map pack position across your catchment, profile scored against whoever is above you, a technical crawl, and your phone and form path tested from outside after hours. Yours to keep either way.
Days 1–7Profile rebuilt properly, review requests automated, call routing and text-back live, and tracking switched on so from here we count real outcomes. Most of the early return comes from this fortnight and none of it requires a ranking change.
Days 8–35Service pages written properly, reviews arriving weekly, monthly reporting on calls and bookings. Map pack movement often shows by week six. Organic is a three month question.
Days 36–90Common Questions
Yes, and if budget is tight you should. Set the right categories, list every service, fix the hours, add photos monthly and ask every happy customer for a review. That is most of the value on this page and it costs nothing. We are worth paying when you want it done consistently without having to remember, and when the competitive work starts.
Profile, review and call-handling work often shows movement in four to six weeks because none of it depends on a ranking change. Organic rankings are a three month question. If someone promises page one in thirty days, get their answer in writing about what happens if it does not work.
Often not. If the current site is reasonably fast and gives people somewhere obvious to go, the money is better spent on the profile, reviews and call handling. We will tell you when a rebuild genuinely is the constraint rather than selling you one by default.
Then service area settings matter more than your pin, and building forty near-identical town pages will actively hurt you. There is a right way to cover a wide catchment and it is not the way most agencies sell.
It depends on how competitive your category is locally and how much needs fixing first. The proposal comes back with scope, timeline and a number so you can compare it properly against anyone else.
No. You own the site, the profile, the content and the customer data, and you can take all of it with you.
