Calgary SEO services for small business websites

No, and it's worth knowing why. Google ranks your business on your address, your reviews and your website, not on where your consultant sits. Every Calgary project here runs over Zoom, Google Meet or messages, and you see the same Search Console data I do. What matters is that the person doing the work knows WordPress, and that you can check their results.

The packages above are the prices, in US dollars: $149 for the audit and $999 for the audit and fixes. Month to month, it's $299 for maintenance or $750 for growth, with no minimum term. You pay on Upwork. You can stop after any milestone. If you're looking for affordable SEO in Calgary, the $149 audit is the cheapest honest way to find out whether you need anything more, and it's yours to keep whoever does the work.

Yes, and it's where most Calgary projects start. The technical SEO audit covers indexing, speed, schema and structure, a competitor gap against the pages above you, and a growth plan in order, with every issue ranked by what it's costing you. It's a website SEO audit read from your own Search Console and a full crawl, not a score from a free tool.

Yes, remotely. The $299 monthly plan keeps updates, backups and uptime watched, checks Search Console for new errors, keeps speed and vitals in the green and covers small content and page edits. You can cancel any month. It's there because the commonest problem I find on Calgary sites isn't a missing tactic, it's maintenance nobody did.

Usually, and the first job is working out what actually happened. A traffic fall after a redesign, a plugin change or a burst of cheap links each leaves a different trace in Search Console. Traffic drop and penalty recovery is its own service here: the fall diagnosed from your data first, then the fix scoped and priced before anything is touched.

Four things, and they take about four minutes. Read one of their case studies and check the dates against the figures. Read their client reviews where they can't be edited. Ask to see the Search Console screen behind a number they quote. And start small, with an audit, so you can stop if the findings don't convince you. I'd ask you to do all four to me as well.

Three things, in this order: what Search Console says about impressions, queries, clicks and indexing; what GA4 says visitors did after they landed; and whether any of it ended in a call, a form or an order. A ranking chart on its own is a diagnostic, not a result. If a report can't tell you which enquiries came from search, it's reporting activity rather than outcomes.

Four to eight weeks before either of us judges a change, because that's how long Google takes to recrawl and settle. Some fixes show up faster, like pages that were never indexed, and speed work shows in field data inside a month.

No, and nobody truthfully can. What I guarantee is in writing: the date, the vitals, and a reply within one business day. Rankings are Google's call, and anyone selling you a position is selling you a story.

No. Your Business Profile is central to the map side, but Google weighs relevance, distance and popularity together, and I don't manage or fake reviews. I fix the website your profile points at, align the two, and tell you plainly where they disagree.

Your URL and read-only Search Console access, which takes two minutes to grant. If you don't have Search Console, I'll set it up for you on the call. WordPress admin access comes later, only when you approve fixes.

Not on Wix or Squarespace. WordPress and WooCommerce are what I work on all day, and that focus is the reason the fixes are quick. If you're planning a move to WordPress, that's a migration project and it's in scope.

Then I'll say so, and you'll have paid nothing to find out. It happens, and I'd rather tell you than sell you work your site doesn't need.

Because it protects you. The scope, the milestones and the payments sit there, you can read my full review history before hiring, and nothing gets billed outside it.

Yes. Several of the case studies are work done under someone else's brand. Your client never has to hear my name, and I don't approach them.

I fix them. The scope here is technical and local SEO on WordPress and WooCommerce, so design and build work stays with your developer. What you get from me is the search side: what's stopping Google indexing and ranking the site you've got, fixed and then measured in your own Search Console.

That's the search side of it, and it's the part I do. Your designer builds the new site. A redesign loses traffic when the URLs change and nobody maps them, so I inventory every page you rank for, map each one to its new address, and watch Search Console for four to eight weeks afterwards.

Send me the URL and I'll tell you what it runs on in a minute, at no charge. Most owners have no idea, and there's no reason they should. If it's WordPress or WooCommerce I can work on it directly. If it isn't, I'll tell you plainly whether moving is worth it.

On a technical project: crawl your site, read your Search Console, find what Google can't reach or won't rank, then fix it in WordPress. It's closer to maintenance and diagnosis than to marketing, and most of the work happens in your site's code and structure rather than in a content calendar.

It changed, and it didn't die. The same foundational SEO practices remain relevant to AI Overviews and AI Mode. A page still needs to be crawlable, indexed and eligible for Search, and Google does not require special AI markup or files. What's gone is the free traffic from thin content that answered a question in two lines, so technical work matters more now rather than less.

Whichever one you already run, set up properly. Rank Math, Yoast and All in One SEO all handle titles, meta, sitemaps and schema. Switching plugins rarely moves a ranking; running two at once will break your canonicals, and that I do see on Calgary sites.

For learning, yes. For an audit, it can't see your Search Console, your crawl data or your field vitals, so it guesses from your page's text. You'll get plausible-sounding advice that isn't tied to what your site is actually losing. Use it to understand my findings, not to replace them.

Ads stop placing you the day the spend stops. Fixing the site underneath doesn't charge you per click, so organic visibility can carry on, but it still depends on Google, your competitors and demand rather than running forever on its own. Plenty of Calgary businesses need both, and I'll tell you plainly if ads are the faster route for your situation.

It can reduce the reliance, which is the part that matters. Ads and paid lead platforms buy visibility today; organic search builds a second channel that keeps returning clicks without a cost per click attached to each one. That's not the same as free, because the work costs money. The realistic goal isn't switching ads off, it's not being in trouble the month you have to pause them. Keep spending while this gets built, and read both channels in the same GA4 and Search Console before you change anything.

Nothing breaks. You own the site, the licences and the change log, there's no plugin of mine holding it together, and no access I keep. Everything is handed over in writing.
