What does your Google Maps top 3 ranking service in Canada include?
We review your local visibility, then work on your Google Business Profile, local pages, citations and technical SEO. We also track grid coverage and leads, so you can see progress beyond a single ranking.
Do you guarantee a top-3 Maps ranking?
Google controls its rankings, so no agency can guarantee a position. We focus on improving your local presence and measuring grid coverage, calls and leads.
How long does local SEO take?
Timing depends on your market, competitors and starting point. GTA Grizzly’s results were measured over 12 months. Your audit establishes a baseline for your business.
Can you work with a business that has multiple locations?
Yes. We tailor the local strategy to each service area, with location-specific pages and Google Business Profiles where eligible. Grid tracking shows how each area performs.
What will I see in the Glass Box Portal?
The live dashboard gives you 24/7 access to rankings, leads, spend and a log of changes. You don’t need to decipher technical reports to see what your team is doing.
