Building The Foundations
To rank well in the local search results you need to first build your foundations online:
Google My Business Optimization.
You need to make sure you have a well rounded Google My Business profile in place for your company. This includes adding your business logo, picking the right category, adding some information about the types of products and services your business offers, hours of operation and your location.
Build Citations for Your Website
If your business website isn’t listed in the directories and other places online that Google would expect it to be, your site may not rank as well. These listings need to also contain an accurate name, address and phone number (NAP) for your business for maximum link building effectiveness.

Other Search Engine Factors That Affect Rankings

Google tends to place more trust in sites that have been around for a while. It takes time to build this trust with Google, but with the right strategies in place, this process can be made quicker.
Duplicate Content
Google isn’t a big fan of duplicate content. If you have content on your site that is precisely the same as on other websites you could find your search engine rankings being affected.

Penalized Website
Due to previous bad SEO practices, you may have found your site been penalized by Google. Some SEO agencies may recommend you start over with a new domain, stating that it would take too much time and effort to get it ranked well again. However, we have been able to get sites ranked again that have been penalized. We can help fix this.
PPC Advertising
Paid advertising is an effective way to quickly bring leads to your website. We help many Edmonton small businesses manage their paid marketing campaigns on Google, Facebook and Bing and see them get tremendous results.
