Technical SEO
Crawling, indexing, redirects, duplicate pages and page speed. If Google can’t read a page cleanly, nothing written on it matters, so the foundation comes first.

In short
What does an SEO agency do?
An SEO agency improves how your website ranks in Google’s organic results, the links under the ads and the map, and more and more in AI answers. The work covers technical health, pages written around what customers search for, internal links, schema and authority you earn. Angarum runs SEO from Vancouver for businesses across Canada and reports on the clicks and leads it brings in, not on rankings alone.
- What it is: managed SEO across technical fixes, keyword mapping, on-page work, content and earned links.
- Who it is for: service businesses and brands that sell across a city, a province, Canada or online.
- What’s included: a full audit, a keyword map, on-page and technical fixes, new pages, schema and monthly reporting.
- Fees: from $650 a month; larger sites and migrations by proposal.
SEO or local SEO?
Two different races.
The organic results and the map pack sit on the same screen, but Google ranks them on different signals. Here is what separates them.
| SEO (this page) | Local SEO | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you show up | The organic results under the ads and the map, plus AI answers | The map pack and Google Maps, near the person searching |
| What moves it | Site structure, technical health, content and earned links | Google Business Profile, reviews, citations and area pages |
| Best for | Selling across a city, a province, Canada, or online | Serving customers near a storefront or a service area |
| How we measure it | Organic clicks, non-brand searches and leads from search | Map rank by postcode, calls and direction requests |
Most local service businesses need both, and we run them as one plan. If the map pack is what you are after, start with our local SEO service.
The 6 Levers
Six inputs. Worked in this order.
Most sites we audit have strong pages held back by a technical problem, or good technical health and nothing worth ranking. We work all six, foundation first.
ii.
Keyword & Intent Map
One search intent per page. We match the terms your customers use to the page that should rank for each one, which also stops your own pages competing with each other.
iii.
On-Page
Titles, headings, copy, images and internal links on every page that sells. Written for the person searching first and the algorithm second.
iv.
Content
Service pages, comparisons and guides that answer real questions, written by people who know the trade. No filler posts to hit a word count. See our content marketing practice.
v.
Schema & AI Search
Structured data that tells Google and AI assistants who you are, what you sell and where. The same groundwork helps you get cited in AI answers. More on AI search optimization.
vi.
Earned Authority
Links you earn: suppliers, associations, partners, local press and original data people want to cite. We don’t buy links or use link networks. They risk a penalty and rarely last.
What you’ll see
One report. The numbers that matter.
In week one we record where you stand. Every monthly report compares against that starting point, so you can see what changed and what it brought in.
| What we report | Where it comes from | What progress looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Organic clicks and impressions | Google Search Console | A rising trend on the pages that sell |
| Non-brand searches | Search Console, with your brand name filtered out | More people finding you who did not already know your name |
| Rankings by page group | Search Console average position, by service and location | Priority services moving onto page one and up it |
| Leads from organic search | Call and form tracking on your site | Each call and form tied to the search that brought it |
| Technical health | A site crawl plus Core Web Vitals field data | No new errors, and pages that pass on mobile |
| AI visibility | Manual checks of Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity for your key questions | Your business named in answers to the questions customers ask |
SEO moves at different speeds in different markets. A niche service in a smaller city can move in weeks; a crowded category in Vancouver or Toronto takes months. We tell you which one you are in before you start.
The Process
Audit first. Then the fixes that pay back soonest.
Most sites we look at have a few technical problems holding everything else back. We clear those before writing a single new page.
Week 1–2
Audit
A full technical crawl, a Search Console review, the gap between you and the sites outranking you, and a keyword map for the pages you have and the ones you need.
Week 3–6
Fix
Technical fixes, titles and on-page changes, internal links and schema. These usually pay back fastest because they improve pages Google already knows.
Month 2–3
Build
New and improved pages from the keyword map: services, locations and the questions customers ask before they buy.
Monthly
Compound
Content, earned links and a monthly report. Every quarter we revisit the keyword map against what Search Console shows.
Engagement · Anchor Prices
Monthly retainer. No long lock-in.
A monthly fee covers the ongoing work. Starter has a three-month minimum, and longer commitments earn a discount.

Frequently asked
Plain answers. No jargon.
What does an SEO agency do?
An SEO agency improves how your website ranks in Google's organic results and, more and more, in AI answers. The work covers technical fixes, a keyword map, on-page changes, new pages and earned links, and it is measured by the clicks and leads search brings in.
What's the difference between SEO and local SEO?
SEO is about the organic results under the ads and the map, for searches anywhere you sell. Local SEO is about the map pack and Google Maps, for people searching near you, and it runs on your Google Business Profile, reviews and citations. Most local service businesses need both, and we run them as one plan.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes and on-page changes to pages Google already knows can show up within weeks. New pages and competitive terms take months, and the most crowded categories can take most of a year. We tell you which of those you are facing after the audit, before you commit.
How much do SEO services cost?
Our Starter engagement is from $650 a month and Signature, which runs SEO alongside content, local SEO or Google Ads, is from $2,200 a month. Large sites, migrations and multi-market work are priced by proposal. For context, Ahrefs' survey of 439 SEO providers found agencies charge an average of $3,209 a month.
Do you buy backlinks?
No. We earn links through suppliers, associations, partners, local press and content people want to cite. Bought links and link networks break Google's spam policies, can get a site penalized and rarely last.
Can you guarantee first place on Google?
No one can, and an agency that promises it is guessing or planning something risky. What we commit to is the work, a clear plan and a monthly report on clicks, rankings and leads, so you can judge the results yourself.
Who owns the website, content and accounts?
You do. Search Console, Analytics, your website and everything we write stay in your name. If you move on, you keep all of it.
Do you do SEO outside Vancouver?
Yes. Our studio is in Vancouver and we work with businesses across Canada and the US. None of the work needs us on site.
Can SEO help me show up in AI answers like ChatGPT?
Yes. AI assistants lean on pages that are easy to crawl, clearly structured and answer questions directly, which is what good SEO produces. We add schema and answer-first sections and check whether your business is named in AI answers for your key questions.
