SEO Services for Ottawa Businesses

It depends on who you serve. If a meaningful share of your customers search in French, or you sell into the Gatineau side of the region, properly built French pages with correct hreflang tags and a Google Business Profile that reflects French service can reach searches your English-only competitors miss. Pages should be written or reviewed by a fluent French speaker, not machine-translated and published unreviewed. If you cannot serve customers in French when they call, we usually recommend waiting until you can.

Yes, and in Ottawa that is often the bigger opportunity. Technology companies, consultancies, and defence and security suppliers usually need capability pages (what you do, for whom, certifications you actually hold, security and bilingual capacity where true) more than a local pack presence. We build those so buyers researching on Google, or asking ChatGPT and Perplexity for a supplier in Ottawa or Kanata, can find and shortlist you. SEO does not replace federal procurement processes, and we never suggest otherwise.

Yes. We sign NDAs, complete vendor and security questionnaires, and work in your own Google Search Console, analytics, and CMS accounts under the access you grant, rather than asking for shared passwords. We only request the data the work needs. We do not hold certifications such as SOC 2, so we work within your security requirements rather than claiming a certification.

One senior consultant leads the program and does the strategy and the hard parts of the work, with a small bench of trusted specialists for volume tasks like content production. Larger programs are staged: an audit first, then a pilot on one service line or site section, then a wider rollout once results show up. For an enterprise with dozens of brands and markets that needs a full in-house-style team from day one, a larger agency may suit better, and we will say so.

Each real, staffed location can have its own Google Business Profile and a location page with specific detail: address, who works there, what is served from it, and how to get there. We do not create profiles or pages for addresses where you have no staffed presence, because that breaks Google's guidelines and tends to get suspended.

SEO work is delivered remotely from our Vancouver base, with monthly video check-ins and a shared report. For larger engagements, an on-site planning session in Ottawa can be arranged, but nothing about the day-to-day work requires being in the same room.
