Not every provider does all of these. Ask exactly what is done each month.
Making the site fast, mobile friendly and easy for search engines to read.
Titles, headings and page content that match what people search for.
New pages and articles that answer your customers' questions.
Your Google Business Profile, listings and reviews, for businesses serving an area.
Getting other relevant sites to link to yours, in ways search engines accept.
Showing what has changed, and what it has meant for your business.
No one can promise where you will appear.
A good provider can explain what they do in plain terms.
Buying large numbers of links can harm a site rather than help it.
Your analytics, listings and website should be in your name.
Look for enquiries and calls, not just positions.
Ask what happens if it isn't working.
A written list, not a general promise.
What you will report, and how often.
Your website, analytics and listings, and what I get if I leave.
Ask for examples.
Length, notice, automatic renewal and any penalty.
References from a business like mine.
We'd rather connect you with the right provider once than flood your inbox with a dozen you'll never call back.
SEO takes time and nobody controls search results. You hear what a provider can realistically do, and how you would measure it.
Guaranteed rankings, secret methods and bulk links are common red flags. You hear how to spot them.
You can ask questions and compare, and nobody pushes you to sign on the spot.
Search engine optimization is the work of making your website easier to find in search results for the things your customers look for. It usually includes technical fixes to the site, useful content, local listings and earning links from other sites.
No. Search engines decide the results, and no agency controls them. Be cautious of anyone who guarantees rankings or claims a secret relationship with a search engine. The Competition Act prohibits false or misleading claims, so you can ask to see the evidence.
It varies with your market, your site and how competitive your search terms are. It is often months rather than weeks. Ask what the provider would expect to see and when, and how they would report progress.
It varies widely with the scope, your industry and how many places you want to be found, plus GST or HST. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask for a written scope that lists what is done each month, and what the price covers.
It focuses on being found by people searching near you, for example through your Google Business Profile, reviews and local listings. It matters most for businesses that serve a specific city or region, including in both English and French where that applies.
Be careful with promises of guaranteed results, buying large numbers of links, refusing to explain what they do, using the provider's own accounts instead of yours, or locking you into a long contract. Be wary of unsolicited calls or emails claiming your website is about to drop off Google.
You should. Your domain, website, analytics and business listings should be in your name. Ask who holds the logins and what you would get if you ended the contract.
Yes. If your site uses analytics or tracking, privacy laws such as PIPEDA, or Quebec's Law 25, can apply to the personal information it collects, and your privacy policy should say so. If you send marketing emails, Canada's anti-spam law, CASL, requires consent and an unsubscribe option. Ask how the provider handles this, and check the details with a qualified adviser.
If you serve customers in Quebec, the law requires commercial websites to be available in French, and many businesses elsewhere serve both languages. Ask the provider about bilingual content and how it affects your search results.
Ask for reports that show things that matter to your business, such as visits, enquiries and calls, not only rankings. Ask how those will be tracked.
Raise it with the provider first, in writing. If it isn't resolved, the Competition Bureau can look into misleading claims, and a lawyer or provincial small business services can explain your options for a contract dispute.
Your website address if you have one, what you sell and where, who your customers are, and your postal code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.
