Canadian buyers see US vendors in every result, and most US vendors never mention the things a Canadian buyer has to check: data residency, PIPEDA, CASL for email, Quebec’s language requirements, pricing in Canadian dollars. Pages that answer those, for the categories where they matter, win the buyer who needs the product to work here.
What we report is enquiries and pipeline from search in your CRM, joined to Search Console, because a ranking for a term nobody buys from is not a result for a company with a sales cycle.
The searches in Canada
The shapes B2B companies are found by in Canada. The words in brackets are whatever the searcher
puts there: the town, the suburb, the matter, the treatment.
- [category] software canada
- [competitor] alternative
- [service] provider for [industry] canada
- [category] pipeda compliant
What is different in Canada
The Canadian qualifier
Data residency, PIPEDA and CASL are searched as qualifiers by buyers who have been burned before. A page that says where the data sits, how consent is handled and what the Quebec customer sees wins the search and the security review at once.
Two languages, when it matters
A Quebec buyer searches in French and reads the English page if there is no French one. For categories with Quebec demand, the French page is a separate page with its own searches, never a machine translation bolted on.
The comparison pages first
A buyer typing a competitor’s name plus "alternative" has already decided to switch. Those pages are built first, honestly, and they usually produce the first enquiries from search.
What a month of work covers for B2B companies in Canada
- A solution or use-case page written or rewritten each month, in the words buyers use for the problem
- Comparison and alternative pages for the searches that name your competitors
- Guides for the questions buyers ask early, each linking to the solution page that takes the enquiry
- Case studies with real numbers where clients allow it, and structured so an AI assistant can quote them
- Technical fixes: speed, indexing, markup for products and organisation, forms that reach sales
- A monthly report from Search Console and your CRM of the searches you appear for and the qualified enquiries behind them
The industry page, SEO for B2B companies, has the
problems and the questions in full; the country page, SEO services in Canada, has the search landscape
in Canada for every trade.
The search landscape in Canada
Seasonality decides the calendar
Pages for a seasonal service need to be written and indexed months before the season. Publishing a snow removal page in November is publishing it late.
Province first, city second
A page per province that a business genuinely serves, with city pages underneath only where there is real service, reads as true to both a buyer and to Google. A footer listing every city in Canada does not.
French is a separate job
Quebec search is a different campaign with different pages, written by somebody who writes French natively. We do the English side and say so plainly rather than machine-translating.
Cities in Canada with their own page
Each is written for the way that city searches and for the trades that search there most.
Working with us from Canada
SEO happens in your accounts and on your website, so nobody needs to visit. We scope the
work on a video call in your hours, send a written quote, and then work month by month
with a call whenever you want one. The result is judged on the enquiries in your own
records, never on a ranking report.
