Local SEO · Halifax, Nova Scotia

SEO services in Halifax, with the work spelled out every month

The most common complaint about SEO agencies is simple: the invoice arrives and nobody can say what was done. Our plans start at $199 a month. They list the actual work, and each report shows it next to numbers from your own Google accounts.

SEO plans and prices

Prices are in Canadian dollars, before HST. Plans run month to month. No long-term contract, as our service terms explain.

What to expect, month by month

SEO is slow by nature. Be suspicious of anyone who tells you otherwise. Google itself says that “no one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.” Here’s how the work usually unfolds:

These are typical patterns, not promises. New domains and crowded industries take longer. We explain why in how long local SEO takes.

What your monthly report contains

A report should make sense without an SEO dictionary. Yours will answer four questions:

1. What did we do? A list of the actual tasks: pages changed, issues fixed, links earned, content published.
2. What changed? Clicks and search terms from Search Console. Visits and enquiries from Google Analytics. These sit in your own accounts, so you can check them yourself.
3. What does it mean? In plain language, including what didn’t work.
4. What’s next? Priorities for next month, and anything we need from you.

Local SEO for Halifax businesses

If you serve people nearby, the map results often matter more than the blue links. Google says local results depend mainly on relevance, distance and prominence (Google Business Profile Help). We work on what you can influence: a complete profile, pages for your real services and areas, consistent business details, reviews and local links.

HRM has its own wrinkles. A Halifax address won’t automatically win searches in Dartmouth or Bedford, which we cover in showing up in Dartmouth, not just Halifax. You may also want to read what local SEO involves and how to get more Google reviews.

Links and content, done without shortcuts

Links still help, but the wrong ones can harm you. Google’s spam policies cover buying links and producing large amounts of low-value content to manipulate rankings. So we aim for links a real business would earn: directories, local organizations, suppliers, partners and relevant sites in your field. We write content around questions your customers ask, and you review anything published in your name.

AI search is changing how people find businesses too. The basics carry over, as we explain in getting recommended by ChatGPT and AI Overviews.

Questions to ask any SEO company, including us

• Can you list the specific tasks you completed for this client last month?
• Will the data come from my own Search Console and Analytics?
• Who actually does the work, and will I speak to that person?
• Am I locked into a contract, and what happens to my accounts if I leave?
• Where will my backlinks come from?
• Have you promised me a ranking? If so, why?

Questions about SEO

Is the $199 plan enough?

For a small business in a low-competition niche, it’s a sensible start. It covers foundations and five pages. If competitors publish regularly and have strong links, you’ll probably need Growth to catch up.

SEO or Google Ads?

Ads can bring calls soon after launch but stop when the budget stops. SEO is slower and keeps working longer. Many businesses run Google Ads while SEO builds.
