Still where people go when they're ready to buy: “plumber Saint-Laurent”, “best brunch Mile End”. Miss the top three map results and most of them never see you.

Montrealers now find businesses in three places. Most agencies only cover one.
We run all three as one system, so each channel makes the others cheaper. That's the gap between a busy month and a busy year.
AI assistants
The new word of mouth. More Montrealers ask ChatGPT or Google's AI Overview for a recommendation, then call whoever gets named.
The feed
Instagram and Facebook are where people discover you before they ever search. The right ads reach nearby customers when they're open to it.
Three services. One goal: a fuller calendar.
Pick one service or combine all three. Every plan starts from your free audit, so nothing is guesswork.

What you'll receive
A clear scorecard, not a 60-page PDF
Your audit scores the five things that decide whether a Montreal customer finds and chooses you. Each score comes with the exact fixes, ranked by impact and effort.
Most businesses we look at share a pattern: a decent website, an under-used Google Business Profile and almost no presence in AI answers. Those are usually the fastest wins.

SEO Montreal: common questions
Still deciding? These are the questions Montreal business owners ask us most.
How much does SEO cost in Montreal?
Most small and mid-sized Montreal businesses invest between $800 and $2,500 a month for SEO, depending on competition and how many services or locations they want to rank. Our Local SEO plan starts at $890/month and our SEO + AEO plan at $1,490/month, month-to-month. Your free audit includes a fixed quote, so you know the price before you commit.
How long does it take to rank on Google in Montreal?
Quick wins such as Google Business Profile fixes, technical errors and missing service pages often show movement in 30 to 60 days. Competitive keywords like “SEO Montreal” or “dentist Montreal” typically take 4 to 9 months of steady work. Meta Ads can bring leads in the first week, which is why many clients run both.
What is AEO (answer engine optimization)?
AEO is the practice of making your business the answer that AI tools give. When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews “who's the best physio in Verdun?”, these tools pull from websites, reviews and directories they trust. AEO structures your content, schema markup, reviews and mentions so AI assistants understand, trust and cite you. It's also called GEO (generative engine optimization).
Should I invest in SEO or Meta Ads first?
If you need customers this month, start with Meta Ads. If you want a steady flow of free, high-intent traffic, start with SEO. The strongest results come from both: ads fill the calendar now while SEO and AEO lower your cost per client over time. Your audit tells you which one will pay back fastest for your business.
Is the audit really free? What's the catch?
It's really free and there's no catch. We do a personalized audit because it's the best way to show you what we'd do. About half of business owners fix things on their own with the action plan, and that's fine. No sales call is required and we won't add you to a newsletter.
Do you lock clients into long contracts?
No. All plans are month-to-month after the first 90 days of SEO setup, and Meta Ads management is month-to-month from day one. You own your website content, Google Business Profile, ad account and data.
Do you create content in French and English?
Yes. Montrealers search in both languages, so we research keywords and write pages for each one, with proper hreflang tags so Google shows the right version. French content is written for Québec readers and follows Charter of the French language requirements.
Do you work with businesses outside Montreal?
Our focus is Greater Montreal, including Laval, Longueuil, Brossard and the West Island, because local knowledge wins local search. We also work with Québec businesses that sell across Canada.
