Local SEO: get found on Google in your area
September 29, 2026 · 1 min read · Abdourrahman, ServiGrowth
Where to start
Local SEO is what makes your business show up when someone searches "plumber Laval" or "heat pump Montreal." The foundation isn't complicated: a complete, up-to-date Google Business Profile, and a fast site that contains the right words.
Your Google profile
Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a customer sees. Precise categories, listed services, service area, hours and recent photos: every detail counts. A contractor who travels to customers can show a service area instead of an address.
Your website
Your site should speak your customers' language: the services you offer, the areas you serve, and the questions they ask. Keywords, tags, titles and load speed, page by page.
The truth about the top spot
No one can guarantee the top spot on Google, and be wary of anyone who promises it. SEO is measured over months, not days. What we can do is improve what influences your visibility and show you the results every month.
