Websites, SEO & GEO
SEO in Calgary
Search optimization for Calgary companies, judged by the calls and forms it produces. Technical work done properly underneath, content that answers what your buyers type, and GEO included.
Part of Websites, SEO & GEO.
Who this is for
Companies with 50 to 150 staff and nobody in-house whose job is search. Someone bought an SEO package a few years ago and got a monthly PDF with a lot of green arrows. The phone did not ring more. We take over those accounts often, for businesses across Calgary and in Airdrie, Chestermere, Okotoks, and Strathmore.
What you get
- A technical fix list first: speed, indexing, broken pages, mobile. The boring work most packages skip.
- Keyword targets chosen from what Calgary buyers search, with the volume shown.
- Pages and articles written to answer the question before the call.
- Google Business Profile set up and maintained, because for local search it's half the game.
- Monthly reporting on rankings, traffic, and leads, with the baseline stated.
- GEO included in every SEO retainer, so you show up in AI answers as well as Google results.
What we don't do
- Guarantee rankings. Anyone who does is guessing with your money.
- Buy links or spin content. It works until it doesn't, and then your domain pays for it.
- Start SEO on a site too slow or broken to rank. We'll fix that first, or tell you to.

Questions we get
How long does SEO take to work in Calgary?
Three to six months for movement, with leading indicators shown before that.
Is SEO worth it for a local business?
If your customers search before they buy, yes. If they come from referrals and tenders, we'll tell you to spend the money elsewhere.
Do you guarantee first page?
No. Nobody honest does.
What's the difference between SEO and GEO?
SEO gets you into Google's list. GEO gets you into the answer ChatGPT or Google's AI gives instead of a list. More on GEO.
Should we run Google Ads while SEO ramps up?
Often, yes. Paid search can bring calls in two to four weeks. SEO takes three to six months. See Google Ads management in Calgary.
Can you work with our existing website?
Usually. If it's too slow or broken to rank, we'll say so first.
What to do first
Take the Hidden Hours Audit before you buy another SEO package. Free. Twelve minutes, a written report in five business days. It tells you whether search is where your buyers are, or whether they come from referrals and tenders and the money belongs elsewhere. If it shows nothing worth doing, it says so.
