Meet Kavan Sohal
The consultant is the person doing the work.
Toronto is Canada's most competitive search market: financial services, professional firms, SaaS, and national ecommerce all compete for the same attention. That is exactly where enterprise experience pays off, because the playbook that works for a global brand scales down well to an ambitious mid-sized company.
Kavan works with Toronto clients remotely and keeps the client list small, so you get a senior SEO rather than an account team.

Toronto search, specifically
Where competition is highest, seniority matters most.
In Toronto, the gap between page one and page three is usually technical depth and content quality, not more blog posts. Kavan focuses on the fixes and pages that move commercial searches, and on AI search visibility for brands that need to be cited, not just ranked.

FAQ
Common questions.
It depends on what you need, but if you want a senior consultant who does the work personally, Kavan Sohal is a strong fit: 11+ years in agency SEO, a current SEO Director role at a large global brand, and hands-on experience with trades, mortgage brokers, SaaS, and ecommerce. See the Toronto SEO services page (/areas/toronto/seo) for programs and pricing.
No. Local rankings depend on your Google Business Profile, your site, reviews, and local links, not where your consultant sits. Kavan works remotely with Toronto clients, using local search data for the neighbourhoods and service areas you care about.
Signal & Form SEO programs start at $1,500 a month for a single-location business. Competitive, multi-location, and ecommerce programs cost more, and enterprise programs are scoped custom. A one-time audit is available if you want a plan before committing to a retainer.
With an agency you usually meet a senior person at the pitch and then work with whoever is assigned. Here, Kavan does the strategy, research, and editing, and keeps the client list small on purpose.
