How much does SEO cost?

SEO pricing depends on the scope of work, competitiveness of your industry, and the goals you're trying to hit. Every business is different, so we put together a custom quote after reviewing your site and understanding where you want to go. Book an introductory call and we'll walk you through what makes sense for your situation.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Most businesses see meaningful ranking improvements within 3 to 6 months of consistent SEO work. Highly competitive markets may take longer. SEO is a long-term investment. The results compound over time.

What is the difference between local SEO and national SEO?

Local SEO targets searches in a specific geographic area (like 'dentist in Toronto' or 'web design Ontario'), and it is what puts you in the map results. National SEO targets broader keywords without location modifiers. Most small businesses get more out of a local strategy, and we cover that in detail on our local SEO page .

Do I need SEO and AI search optimization separately?

No, and you should be careful with anyone selling them as two invoices. They run on the same foundations. Clear site structure, content that answers real questions, and strong local signals are what earn you a Google ranking and what get you named in an AI answer. We treat them as one piece of work, with AI search as a specific focus inside it rather than a bolt-on.

What is included in your SEO service?

Our SEO service includes keyword research, on-page optimization, technical SEO audits, content recommendations, link building, local SEO and Google Business Profile management, AI search visibility work, and monthly reporting with transparent results.

Will SEO help me show up in ChatGPT or Google's AI Overviews?

It can, but there is no switch to flip and nobody can promise you a mention. AI tools lean on sites that are structured clearly, answer real questions plainly, and carry strong local signals like reviews and consistent listings. That is the work, and it is the same work that lifts your normal rankings. What we can do is check what those tools say about your business today, build the signals they reward, and check again on a schedule so you can see whether it moved. More on that on our AI search optimization page .

My website looks good but isn't bringing in leads. Can you help?

Yes, and this is common. A good-looking site can still miss the searches your customers use, skip the questions they need answered, or make it hard for Google to understand what you do. An SEO review usually finds exactly where the disconnect is.

Do you guarantee first page rankings?

No reputable SEO agency guarantees specific rankings. Google's algorithm is constantly changing. What we guarantee is a proven, ethical strategy focused on long-term growth, transparent reporting, and measurable improvement in organic traffic and leads.

SEO and AI search for Ontario businesses

Be the business people find first, on Google and in AI answers

Three things decide whether people find you now. Where you rank organically, whether you show up in the map results near you, and whether AI tools recommend you when someone asks. We work on all three, because they feed each other.

Yonge Eglinton Dental website, ranking #1 for its core local searches

Watch the walkthrough

Yonge Eglinton Dental · Toronto · Client since 2019

From #2 back to #1, and it stayed there

They'd slipped from #1 to #2 for their core local searches. That sounds small, but the top result earns roughly double the clicks of the second. We won the ranking back with SEO and have kept it since.

#1: Across their core local searches today
7x: More leads from organic search than any other channel

Read the case study

The usual frustrations with SEO

If any of these sound familiar, the people searching for what you do are finding someone else.

You don't show up in the map results near you, even for what you're known for.
You ask ChatGPT who to call and it names your competitors.
You used to rank, then slipped, and nobody can tell you why.
You're paying for SEO every month and can't say what it's doing.
The report is full of charts but never mentions calls or bookings.

What we work on

Organic rankings, the map results and AI answers, worked together, because the same signals feed all three.

Local SEO: Show up in the map results across your service area, through your Google Business Profile, local pages, listings and reviews.
AI search visibility: Get named when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI Overviews who they should call.
Your Google Business Profile: Categories, services, photos and posts set up so the profile ranks, not just exists.
Pages built around real searches: Service and area pages that name what you do and where, and answer the questions people ask right before they call.
A site Google can read: Fast pages, clean structure and schema, so search engines and AI tools understand what you offer.
Reporting you can follow: Rankings, calls and form fills each month, in plain language, so you can see what the work is bringing in.

Where local search is won

Ranking locally isn't the same as ranking nationally. Google weighs where you are, how relevant you look for the search, and how well known you are in the area. Those three things are what we work on.

Your profile does the heavy lifting

For many local searches the map results sit above everything else, and plenty of people never scroll past them. Categories, services, photos and posts all decide whether you show up. We treat your Google Business Profile like a page on your site, not a box you tick once.

Pages built for local searches

Someone looking for a plumber in Cambridge searches differently from someone comparing brands. Local pages name the service and the area, and answer the practical questions that come right before someone picks up the phone.

Reviews and listings build trust

Google looks at how consistently your business shows up across the web and what customers say about you. Steady, genuine reviews and accurate listings tell it you're a real, established business in the area.

None of this is a one-time fix. Rankings shift as competitors invest and as AI tools decide who to recommend. The businesses that stay visible are the ones doing the work every month, and that's how we run it. If your site is being rebuilt too, read how SEO and web design work together.

Dealing with Camrin has made a significant positive impact on our business. The new website is easy to use, targeted to our client market, and Google rankings are going up every day. Our Google Ads were so effective we had to ask Camrin to take them down for a while because we couldn't keep up with the business!
