SEO for architects · Canada and the USA
SEO means getting your firm to show up when people search. We put architects at the top of Google, Google Maps and AI answers for the projects they want: custom homes, renovations, commercial builds. A referral sends a client to Google to check you out. A search with no referral sends them straight to whoever ranks.

Both, on the same search. That’s what we build for architects.
(02) How clients choose an architect
A home or a building is the biggest thing most of your clients will ever buy. They take months to decide, and they search the whole way. The firm that shows up at each step gets the call.
Six moments a client looks you up
The idea
They search “custom home architect” or “home addition architect” with their town. Won by: a page for that kind of project, in that place.
The research
They look for projects like theirs, often in Google Images. Won by: project pages Google can read, and photos named for what they show.
The referral check
A friend gives them your name. They search your firm and the architect who runs it. Won by: your name owning the first page about you, with nothing thin or out of date.
The AI question
They ask ChatGPT or Google “who are the best residential architects near me?” Won by: being the firm those tools can describe and name.
The shortlist
Three firms, side by side. Process, fees, approvals, reviews. Won by: answering the questions they’re scared to ask on the first call.
The call
They pick up the phone or fill in the form. Won by: an easy way to reach you on every page.
(03) What clients type
Nobody types “architecture”. They type the project they have in mind and the place it’s going. Every one of these is its own search, with its own competition, and its own page to win it.
New homes
Renovation
Commercial
Plus a place
Add a town to any search on the left and it becomes a new one.
Same project, two pages
The gallery page
“Ridge House”
Six photos and a name. Google can’t tell what it is, so it only shows up when someone types the name.
The project page
A modern hillside home in [town], designed for a sloped lot
Shows up for the search the next client types.
The questions your clients ask before they call
Answer them on your site, in your words, for your town, and you’re the firm they trust before you’ve met.
(04) What we do
Every plan covers the three places clients look: Google Maps, the normal Google results and AI answers in ChatGPT and Google. We weight the work to the projects you want more of.
Your Google Maps listing
The free listing that shows your firm on Google Maps, with your hours, photos and reviews. We set it up for how your studio actually works: the right categories, every service listed, real project photos. Reviews are one thing Google weighs, so we set up a simple routine for asking happy clients. Google also weighs how complete the listing is, how well your pages match each search, and how often trusted sites mention you. We work on all of it.
A page for every project type and town
Custom homes, additions, renovations, heritage work, multi unit and commercial each get a page of their own, written for the client who wants that project. Then pages for the towns you want to build in, so you show up where the work is.
Projects that rank, not just impress
We turn your best work into project pages that tell the story: the brief, the site, the problem, the result. Photos get names and captions that say what they show, so they turn up in Google Images too, with credit to your photographer.
Your firm’s name, and your partners’ names
When a referral types your firm or a partner into Google, they should find you, your projects, your awards and your press. We build a profile page for each partner, keep your address and phone the same on every directory and listing, and get you mentioned on sites your clients already trust.
The questions before the call
Fees, process, timelines and local approvals, answered in plain words for the towns you work in. These pages show up for the questions people ask long before they’re ready to call, and they send clients to you already convinced.
AI answers
Clients now ask ChatGPT and Google’s AI which architect to call. Those tools name firms they can describe: clear pages, named partners, the same details everywhere online. We build that, track where you’re named and report it every month.
Reports you can read
Where you rank for each project type and town, how many people called or sent an enquiry from Google, and what we’re doing next. Plain words, every month. Your projects take months to sign, so we count the enquiries as they come, not just the contracts.

(06) Questions
What firms ask us before they start.
Book my free strategy callSEO means getting your firm to show up when people search. For an architect, that's three places: Google Maps when someone types architect near me, the normal list of Google results when they type custom home architect and their town, and the answers ChatGPT and Google's AI give when someone asks who to hire.
Because a referral still ends in a search. The person who was given your name looks up your firm, your partners and your projects before they call. If what they find is thin, the referral goes cold. And the clients who were never referred to anyone go straight to whoever ranks for their kind of project.
If you don't see visible improvement in your key metrics within the first 20 days, we refund $200 on top of returning your payment for that period. If your qualifying keywords aren't on the first page of Google within 60 days, we keep working for free until they are. Broad searches in big cities take longer to win than a project type in a specific town.
Usually $1,497 to $5,000 a month for Google Maps, the normal Google results, or both. Work across several websites usually starts at $5,000 a month. No long-term contracts. Getting named in AI answers is included in every plan.
Most residential and small commercial work is local, so we start with the towns you want to build in and the project types you want more of. If you take on work across a province, a state or the whole country, we add pages for those markets and for the specialist searches people type wherever they are, like a building type you're known for.
A gallery of photos with a project name tells Google very little. A project page that says what was built, where, for whom and what problem it solved can rank for that search, and the photos on it can show up in Google Images with the right names and captions. We turn your best projects into pages like that.
Often, yes. Google has rules about what counts as a business location, and a home studio or a shared office is handled differently from a public office. We check your setup against Google's current rules before we touch your listing, so it's set up in a way that lasts.
Those tools name firms they can find clear, consistent information about: what you design, where you work, who leads the firm and what others say about you. We write pages they can quote, keep your details the same everywhere online and check every month where you're named.
No. It's included in every plan.
We guarantee page one, in writing: visible improvement in your key metrics within 20 days or your payment back plus $200, and your qualifying keywords on page one of Google within 60 days or we keep working for free until they are.
No. No long-term contracts. We keep clients by keeping them ranked.
