Meet Kavan Sohal
The consultant is the person doing the work.
Vancouver is a hard search market. Trades and home services compete across a dozen municipalities, real estate and mortgage searches are fiercely contested, and the city's tech and ecommerce companies compete nationally from day one. Kavan has done SEO in all of those categories from Vancouver.
Signal & Form is run part time, so the client list stays small. Vancouver clients can meet in person; the work itself is done by Kavan.

Vancouver search, specifically
Metro Vancouver is many local markets, not one.
Someone searching "plumber near me" in North Vancouver sees different results from someone in Surrey. Winning local search here means a Google Business Profile, service-area pages, and reviews that reflect where you actually work, across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, and the North Shore.

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 Vancouver SEO services page (/areas/vancouver/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 Vancouver 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.
