SEO services for established businesses in Canada and the US
When someone needs what you sell, they call one of the first names Google shows them. Our SEO services make that name yours: in the organic results, in the Google Maps box, and in the AI answers people read before they click.
If your qualifying keywords aren't on the first page of Google within 60 days, we keep working for free until they are.
30 minutes on Google Meet. For businesses doing $20k a month or more.

Ten links. Yours isn't one of them.
Page one of Google has about ten organic results. That's where the clicks go. If your site sits on page two, the people searching for exactly what you sell are hiring whoever is above you.
Search engine optimization services (SEO, for short) are the work that moves your website up those results: picking the searches that bring paying customers, building pages that answer them, fixing what slows Google down on your site, and earning links from real sites that vouch for you.
Hiring an SEO agency means a team does all four, every month, and answers for the rankings. As an SEO company we put that in writing, with two guarantees. White-hat only: no spam, no tricks that get a site punished at the next Google update.

Results within 20 days
“We were skeptical about hiring an SEO agency cause no one would guarantee or stand behind a timeline. […] At first, I was like eh might be a gimmick but I did see results within 20 days and by the end of 30/40 days I have seen significant results. […] Definitely recommend anyone who is in the market to get ranked higher on google.”

Guarantees met a month early
“We hired them about 6 months ago with guarantees they met a month earlier than expected. But besides the guarantees, I’m floored by their knowledge on the subject matter. We had an in-house SEO team for years and God bless them, but they could never do what AM can do, even if we gave them twice the time.”

Buyers look in three places now: Google’s results, the Maps box, and AI answers. We get you found in all three.
Page one for the searches your buyers type.
Top three in the Google Maps box.

Organic SEO gets your website into Google’s normal results, the list under the ads and the map. Most clicks go to the first few results, so page two may as well not exist.

Got a specific problem? Start here.
Multi-location SEO
The problem
Your branch pages copy each other, so Google shows one and hides the rest.
What we do
For businesses with two locations or two hundred.
SEO audits
The problem
Traffic is flat and nobody can tell you why.
What we do
You get a plain-English fix list, most important first.
Website migration SEO
The problem
A redesign or new domain can wipe out years of rankings overnight.
What we do
Best started a month before launch, not after.
Google first. AI answers on top.
More people now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Google's AI Overviews before they pick a business. Those tools lean on the same things Google rewards: clear pages that answer the question, a business other trusted sites mention, and a website that is easy to read.
So we build for Google first, then shape the same pages so AI answers can quote and name you. It's one more place to be found, on top of your rankings, not instead of them.
AI SEO is included in every plan. See how it works in Google AI Overviews SEO and ChatGPT SEO.
What our AI SEO work includes
Pages AI can quote
Each key page opens with a plain answer to the question your buyers ask, so ChatGPT, Claude and Google’s AI have a sentence worth lifting, with your name on it.
A business others vouch for
Links and mentions from trusted sites in your field. AI tools lean on them to decide who to name, the same way Google does.
A site machines can read
Clean structure and structured data, so search engines and AI tools know what you sell, where, and for whom.

Named by Google’s AI. #1 below it. Angkorscape, Seattle, for “luxury landscape designers”.
Five jobs. Every month.
Every SEO strategy we build starts from real data: what your buyers search, who ranks above you, and why. Google changes its rules several times a year, so we watch every core update and adjust before it costs you. Month to month, no long-term contract.
We find the searches your buyers actually type, and skip the ones that bring traffic and no money. Then we check who ranks for them and what it takes to beat them.
A page for each service and each search that matters, written for the person searching. Titles, headings, images and copy set up so Google knows what each page is for.
Slow pages, broken links, pages Google can’t read. We find what’s holding the site back and fix it. Technical SEO
A dedicated team earns links from relevant, trusted sites in your field. Google reads them as votes. No link farms. Link building

As seen in and rated on
Three questions. Ask every agency.
A good SEO company answers all three in plain words, before you sign. Here are ours.
Which searches will you rank me for, and why those?
We name the searches on the strategy call, from live data, and show you who ranks for them today.
What will you actually do each month?
The five jobs above, with a list of completed work in every monthly report.
What happens if it doesn't work?
Two guarantees, in writing. Read them below.
Walk away if you hear these.
Most bad SEO sounds fine on the sales call. These are the lines that should end it. If your current agency says them, check whether your SEO is going nowhere.
“We can’t say which searches yet.”
A good agency can look up your market live, before you pay a cent.
“Sign for twelve months.”
Long contracts keep clients when the results don’t. Ours run month to month.
“Hundreds of links this month.”
Bulk links from unrelated sites are what the next Google update punishes.
“Look how much traffic you got.”
Traffic from searches that never buy pays nothing. Ask about rankings for the searches that bring customers.
“SEO takes time, just trust us.”
It does take time, and every month should still come with a list of finished work you can check.
“Here are the logos we’ve worked with.”
Logos prove nothing. Ask to see real rankings for real clients, the way we show ours above.
Side by side. Check it yourself.
Comparing search engine optimization agencies? Every SEO company says it gets results. These are the things you can check before you sign, and how we answer each one.

Straight answers about SEO services
SEO services are the work that gets your website shown higher on Google when people search for what you sell. That covers choosing the searches that bring paying customers, building and improving the pages that answer them, fixing technical problems that stop Google reading your site, and earning links from other trusted websites. The same work also helps your business show up on Google Maps and in AI answers.
Local SEO, organic SEO, or the two together usually run between $1,497 and $5,000 a month. Organic SEO across several websites usually starts at $5,000 a month. Your exact number depends on your market and how strong the sites above you are, and you get it on the strategy call.
We put two guarantees in writing. 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.
An in-house hire gives you one person. An SEO agency gives you a team: strategy, writing, technical fixes and a dedicated link-building team, plus the paid research tools. You also get one party accountable for rankings, with guarantees in writing.
Ask three things. Which searches will you rank me for, and why those? What will you do each month? What happens if it doesn't work? A good SEO company answers all three in plain words. We put our answers in writing: a list of target searches, a monthly list of completed work, and two guarantees.
Yes. We have spent 13 years ranking established businesses across Canada and the US, from local service firms to national online stores. Google works the same way in both countries. What changes is the competition in your market, and we plan around it.
Yes. AI tools lean on the same things Google rewards: clear pages that answer the question, a business other trusted sites mention, and a website that is easy to read. We build for Google first and shape the same pages so AI answers can quote and name your business. It is an extra place to be found, on top of your Google rankings.
If customers find you on Google Maps, you want both. Local SEO gets you into the map box, organic SEO gets your website into the results under it. Online stores and national businesses usually need organic SEO alone.
Yes, when the move is planned before launch. A new design, platform or domain can wipe out rankings if old page addresses disappear. We forward every old address to its new one, carry over what Google already trusts, and watch rankings and traffic after go-live.
No. White-hat only. The shortcuts work for a few months and then a Google update wipes them out, along with your rankings.
Your Google Analytics data, where you rank for each keyword we target, and a list of the work we did that month. We walk you through it live, in plain language. You also get our app: see it all live, any time, and ask its AI agent for anything you want to know.
No. There are no long-term contracts. Results keep you here, not paperwork.
