What we run for Vancouver businesses
SEO and AI visibility
Google Business Profile
Geography decides who calls you
Metro Vancouver is not one market. Burrard Inlet and the Fraser River cut it into service areas that customers rarely cross. A plumber based in North Vancouver does not want clicks from Surrey. A clinic in Kitsilano competes with Broadway and Cambie, not with Langley. We build campaigns around real drive times and bridge crossings: separate targeting for Vancouver proper, the North Shore, Burnaby and New Westminster, Richmond, and the cities south of the Fraser. Areas you do not serve are excluded, so you stop paying for them. Local SEO follows the same map, and your Google Business Profile is set up to match where your team actually works.
Demand follows the rain
Vancouver's wet season runs from roughly October to March, and search demand moves with it. Queries for roofing, gutters, drainage, and waterproofing climb once the rain settles in. Exterior painting, landscaping, and patio work concentrate in the dry months. Winter sends skiers toward the North Shore mountains and Whistler; summer brings cruise traffic to Canada Place and fills downtown with visitors. A budget that stays flat through all of that is a budget partly wasted. We adjust spend by season, pause what is out of cycle, and prepare pages and campaigns before demand arrives, so you are already visible when the first storm sends homeowners to Google.
Expensive clicks leave no room for waste
Vancouver search is crowded, and the city's famously expensive housing market sets the tone: realtors, mortgage brokers, dental and cosmetic clinics, and home services all bid on the same local queries, and click prices reflect it. At that cost, a loose account burns money quietly: broad match left unchecked, cruise-season tourist searches downtown mixed in with local intent, clicks from Abbotsford for a clinic that only serves Kitsilano. Our work here is subtraction as much as addition. We maintain negative keyword lists, review search terms line by line, hold tight geographic boundaries, and separate branded from non-branded traffic. The goal is simple to state and hard to fake: fewer wasted clicks, and a cost per lead you can read in your monthly report.
Built around Vancouver's actual economy
The city earns its living in specific ways. Film and television production, the port and the trades that serve it, tech firms in Gastown, Yaletown, and along Broadway, tourism around the cruise terminal, and a construction sector shaped by dense strata housing. That mix changes the search work. A contractor serving strata councils needs different pages than one renovating detached homes in Dunbar. A restaurant near Canada Place sees tourist queries a Commercial Drive spot never will, and the two need different keywords and different Google Business Profile strategies. We start by mapping which of these audiences your business serves, then structure the account and the site around that answer.
A French team, on your clock
The ocean between us works for you
SEO et Ads is run from Quimper, on the western tip of France. That is not a detail we hide, it is how the service works: your campaigns are watched while your market sleeps.
Your account is tended before you wake up
France is 6 hours ahead of the East Coast and 9 ahead of the Pacific. Search term cleanups, bid adjustments and budget checks happen during our workday, which is your night. Problems are fixed before your morning coffee, not discovered after lunch.
Calls in your morning, every time
Your 8 to 11 am is our mid afternoon. Booking a call is easy, in English, and you get a written summary afterwards. No middle-of-the-night compromises on either side.
Everything measurable, nothing hidden
You own your Google Ads account and pay Google directly. We work inside it as a manager. Every dollar, every search term, every call is visible to you in real time, and summarized in plain English once a month.
Trained and certified by Google
The certifications, actually earned
The team completed the Google Skillshop training programs and passed the certifications. That guarantees no results. It guarantees something else: the people running your budget know exactly how the tool works, according to Google itself.

Questions from Vancouver business owners
How does working with a team based in France actually work from Vancouver?+
France is nine hours ahead of Pacific time, and we treat that as a feature. Our workday ends before yours begins, so campaign checks and cleanups are done before you open your laptop in the morning. Calls are booked in your Vancouver morning, which is our evening. All communication, reporting, and deliverables are in English.
Who owns the Google Ads account?+
You do, always. The account is created under your business and stays your property. Your ad budget is paid by you directly to Google; it never passes through us. If we part ways, you keep the account, the campaign history, and all the data.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?+
No. There is no long-term commitment, and you can cancel at any time with 30 days notice. We also take one client per trade per area, and that exclusivity is written into the contract, so we will not run campaigns for your direct competitor in your part of Metro Vancouver.
Can you guarantee a first-page ranking or a set number of leads?+
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Google does not sell guaranteed positions, and no honest agency promises them. What we commit to is the work and honest measurement: a monthly report with real numbers, calls, form fills, and cost per lead, so you can judge for yourself whether it is paying off.
What does the free visibility audit include?+
A review of how your business shows up today: Google search and local map results, the state of your Google Business Profile, whether AI answers such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews mention you, and, if you already run ads, where the obvious waste is. It is delivered within 48 hours and carries no obligation.
