Realistic horizon for compounding gains
Content written from real search data

Rankings, enquiries and next actions
Overview
SEO in a city the size of Ottawa is winnable. The competitive sets are small, the intent is local, and most competitors are running a template site with thin content.
Our engagements run on three tracks in parallel: fix what is technically holding the site back, build content that matches real query demand, and earn the local signals that decide map pack position.
What you get
Everything below is included in a standard engagement — no line items that appear later.
Technical SEO
Crawl and index control, Core Web Vitals, structured data, internal linking and site architecture.
Local SEO
Google Business Profile optimisation, citation consistency, review velocity and neighbourhood-level landing pages.
Content strategy
Query mapping across the funnel, then service and supporting pages written to satisfy the intent behind each one.
Digital PR & links
Local relationships, industry placements and genuinely earned coverage. No purchased link networks.
Conversion rate work
Rankings only matter if the page converts. We test headlines, forms and calls to action against real traffic.
Reporting that means something
Positions, yes — but also calls, forms, qualified leads and cost per acquisition.
Transparent pricing
How much does SEO cost?
Ongoing SEO retainers run $1,000 to $5,000 per month depending on how competitive the market is and how much content and technical work each month requires. One-off audits are $1,500 to $4,000. We do not sell packages priced by a fixed number of keywords, because the work that moves rankings is rarely evenly distributed.

How we work
Audit
Technical crawl, content inventory, backlink profile and competitor gap analysis. You get the findings whether or not you continue.
Fix the foundation
Indexation, speed, structure and on-page issues cleared before we spend anything on content or links.
Build demand capture
The pages that answer commercial queries, published on a schedule and interlinked deliberately.
Earn authority
Local citations, press, partnerships and content worth referencing.
How we differ
A fair comparison against how this work is commonly delivered.
| Feature | Algorank | Typical alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Reporting | Rankings, enquiries and revenue impact | Traffic charts only |
| Content | Written against real query data | Word-count driven blogging |
| Technical work | Fixed in the codebase by the build team | Recommended to your developer |
| Links | Earned, relevant, disclosed | Bought networks and directories |
| Contract | Month to month after 90 days | 12-month lock-in |
A good fit if
- Your customers search before they buy, and the jobs are worth having
- You can commit to at least six months — organic gains compound slowly
- You are willing to let us change the site, not just advise on it
Probably not for you if
- You need leads this week and nothing is running — start with paid
- You want guaranteed number-one rankings, which nobody can honestly promise
- Your product has no meaningful search demand yet
If that is you, say so on the call — we will tell you straight and point you somewhere better.
From experience
The mistakes that cost the most.
Judging SEO by traffic instead of enquiries
Rankings for terms nobody buys from will grow a chart and not a business. We report on the queries that produce calls and forms, and we are content to lose vanity impressions.
Publishing volume instead of answers
Twelve thin posts a month will not outrank one page that genuinely answers the query better than anything currently ranking. Depth compounds; filler decays.
Ignoring the technical side because it is invisible
Slow templates, duplicate URLs, broken canonicals and orphaned pages cap how far content can take you. Because we build sites, these get fixed in the code rather than emailed to someone else.
Buying links
Purchased networks and low-quality directories are a liability that eventually needs cleaning up. Earned coverage is slower and does not evaporate at the next update.
