Nine months of local SEO, Google Ads and outreach took a GTA insurance brokerage from 12 to 53 inbound quote requests a month (+340%) and from 180 to 1,340 organic visitors a month, with Map Pack visibility on 11 of 15 target terms (up from 0).
Seven months of local SEO and an AI agent call system took a medical practice in Mississauga, Brampton and Oakville from 28 to 94 organic new-patient inquiries a month (+236%), cut response time from 4.2 to 1.7 hours, and lowered the no-show rate from 14% to 6%.

FAQs
Markham FAQs
Yes. Markham is part of our core GTA service area alongside Mississauga, Toronto, Brampton, and Oakville. We understand York Region's competitive landscape, the multicultural buyer demographics, and the tech-sector dynamics along Highway 7. Most engagements run remotely with in-person strategy sessions on request.
We work with Markham's strongest sectors: technology and software companies, health and medical clinics, professional services (accounting, law, financial advisory), real estate agents, and restaurants. Our B2B and local SEO services are particularly strong fits for Markham's market mix.
Our SEO packages are flat monthly retainers in CAD: Local SEO at $1,200/month for single-location businesses focused on the map pack, Growth SEO at $2,500/month to rank beyond the map pack with content and technical SEO, and Authority SEO from $4,500/month for high-competition categories. A standalone SEO audit starts at $1,500. Most retainers are month-to-month with 30 days' notice and no setup fees.
Local SEO clients typically see first results in 60–90 days. Broader organic rankings for competitive Markham categories, such as technology, health and professional services, build over a longer run of content and authority work. We agree KPIs before work starts and report against them every month, and we never promise #1 rankings.
The call is 30 minutes and free. We look at your website, your Google Business Profile and the Markham searches you want to win, then send a written audit within 1 business day. If you send an inquiry instead, we reply within 24 business hours.
Yes. We serve businesses across Ontario, with a primary focus on the GTA. Markham clients typically meet in person or on Google Meet — our delivery is identical either way.
We're headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, and serve Markham as part of our Greater Toronto Area coverage. For most engagements we meet remotely; for larger strategy work we meet in person on request.
Most services are scoped per deliverable with a monthly retainer that lines up with your growth target. We publish starting prices on each service page and book a free discovery call to confirm fit.
