What you actually rank in

Three pins. Vancouver decides locally.

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

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

Vancouver, neighbourhood by neighbourhood

One Vancouver on the map. Many search markets underneath.

We build a geo-page for each part of Vancouver 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 Vancouver 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 Vancouver 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 Vancouver-specific listings). Inconsistencies cost rankings invisibly.

Audit quarter one · maintain on change
iii.

Reviews & Velocity

A workflow that asks every happy Vancouver 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 Downtown”, “[service] in Mount Pleasant” intent. Embedded maps. Reviews schema. Internal links connecting neighbourhoods and service pages.

Schema.org · LocalBusiness + Service
v.

Local Links

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

2–3 net new local links per quarter

neighbourhoods to rank in

Vancouver packs more business into less space than anywhere in Canada — downtown alone holds about 60% of the region’s office space — which makes the local map pack one of the most contested in the country. With a film, tech and tourism economy worth billions, ‘near me’ searches in Downtown, Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant are fiercely fought.

We treat each Vancouver neighbourhood as its own race — Downtown, Yaletown, Gastown, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Kerrisdale, Commercial Drive — with a Google Business Profile, citations and reviews built for local intent and anchored by the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade.

Frequently asked · Vancouver

Plain answers. No jargon.

Do you do SEO for businesses in Vancouver specifically?
Yes. We rank Vancouver businesses in the Vancouver map pack by neighbourhood (Downtown, Yaletown, Gastown, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Kerrisdale, Commercial Drive) and by postcode. The Google Business Profile, citations and geo-pages are built around Vancouver intent.
How long until my Vancouver business ranks in the map pack?
Most Vancouver categories: 60-120 days to break into the map pack, 6-9 months to consistently sit in the top three. Vancouver is competitive, so the foundation (GBP, citations, reviews) has to be done properly before rankings move.
Which Vancouver neighbourhoods do you optimize for?
All of them, prioritized by where your customers are: Downtown, Yaletown, Gastown, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Kerrisdale and Commercial Drive. 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 Vancouver?
$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 Vancouver but our office is elsewhere — can we still rank?
Yes. Service-area businesses can rank in Vancouver without a downtown storefront by setting the GBP as a service-area business and building Vancouver-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.
