What you actually rank in

Three pins. Burnaby decides locally.

Burnaby is not a corner of Vancouver's search market — it is its own market, and Google ranks it that way. Someone in Metrotown searching “near me” sees Metrotown businesses, not downtown ones. Our job is to put your pin in the top three for the parts of Burnaby your customers live in.

The mock is what someone searching “plumber near me” sees from a Metrotown postcode. Your business in the gold pin, two competitors below.

Burnaby, neighbourhood by neighbourhood

One Burnaby on the map. Many search markets underneath.

We build a geo-page for each part of Burnaby that matters to your business, tie them together with internal links and consistent NAP, and let the Google Business Profile do the heavy lifting in the area you operate from.

The 5 Levers

Five inputs. Pulled in this order.

Most local SEO in Burnaby is two of these done halfway. We do all five, in sequence — and the order matters more than the effort.

i.

Google Business Profile

Categories, services, attributes, photos, posts, Q&A — the single highest-leverage map-pack signal. For service-area Burnaby businesses we set it up as a service area, not a pin on an empty office.

Owner: Senior Account · weekly cadence
ii.

Citations & NAP

Name, address, phone consistent across 60+ directories (Yelp, Yellow Pages, Apple Maps, BBB, plus BC and Burnaby-specific listings). Inconsistencies cost rankings invisibly.

Audit quarter one · maintain on change
iii.

Reviews & Velocity

A workflow that asks every happy Burnaby customer at the right moment. We respond to every review, gold and otherwise. No fake reviews, ever.

Ethics: 100% Google policy compliant
iv.

On-Page Geo

Pages tuned for “[service] in Metrotown”, “[service] in Lougheed” intent. Embedded maps. Reviews schema. Internal links connecting neighbourhoods and service pages.

Schema.org · LocalBusiness + Service
v.

Local Links

Burnaby Board of Trade, community sponsorships, partner directories, BC business publications. Ten local Burnaby links beat a hundred generic ones.

2–3 net new local links per quarter

Most of Burnaby’s commercial activity clusters in four very different nodes — Metrotown (the regional downtown anchored by Metropolis), Brentwood and Lougheed (fast-redeveloping transit hubs), and the Still Creek / Central Valley business area. Someone searching from Metrotown sees different results than someone in Lougheed.

With 50,000+ new jobs forecast by 2050 and tech, film and education all expanding around SFU, local competition only tightens. We build a Google Business Profile and geo-pages tuned to the town centre you actually serve, then grow reviews and citations to hold the top three.

Frequently asked · Burnaby

Plain answers. No jargon.

Do you do SEO for businesses in Burnaby specifically?
Yes. Burnaby is its own search market. We rank Burnaby businesses in the Burnaby map pack — by town centre (Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, Edmonds, Burnaby Heights) and by postcode. The Google Business Profile, citations and geo-pages are built around Burnaby intent.
How long until my Burnaby business ranks in the map pack?
Most Burnaby categories: 60-120 days to break into the map pack, 6-9 months to consistently sit in the top three. Categories with low local competition can move in 30-45 days.
Which Burnaby neighbourhoods do you optimize for?
All of them, prioritized by where your customers are: Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, Burnaby Heights, Edmonds, Highgate and the SFU/UniverCity area. We build a geo-page for each that matters and connect them with internal links and consistent NAP.
How much does Local SEO cost in Burnaby?
$450/month per location for Starter (GBP + citations + monthly posts). $1,200/month per location for Signature (adds review workflow, on-page geo-pages, monthly content). Multi-location is priced as a package.
We serve Burnaby but our office is elsewhere — can we still rank?
Yes. Service-area businesses can rank in Burnaby without a Burnaby storefront by setting the GBP as a service-area business and building Burnaby-specific geo-pages, citations and reviews.
Do I own the Google Business Profile?
Always. Your GBP is registered under your business email, not ours. We work as a manager on the profile. If we part ways, we step off the profile and you keep everything intact.
