6 Answers to Protect Your Next Lead
What does an SEO company in Montreal do?
We improve your search visibility, build relevant pages and fix obstacles between a visit and an enquiry. We pair SEO with Google Ads, conversion work and AI-search visibility, so each channel informs the others.
Why should my business consider French and English search?
In QliqQliq's SERP capture, 60% of paired French and English searches returned different Map Pack businesses. The capture also found 2.3 mobile screens before the first organic result. Your audit examines where your business is visible.
What happened in the Montreal roofing campaign?
Over 12 months, monthly organic leads rose from 10 to 56 and organic sessions from 500 to 2,000. Top-10 keywords grew from 12 to 72. Map Pack top-three placements rose from 3 to 18 out of 60 tracked searches.
How quickly will I see results?
Timing depends on your market, site and competition. Our team ships fixes and pages in hours or days, while search visibility and leads take time. We do not guarantee rankings.
How much does Montreal SEO cost?
Your free audit identifies priorities for your business. We'll discuss the scope and price before you commit.
Will you work with my direct competitor?
No. We take one major client per niche per region, so your direct competitor isn't working with the same team in your market.
