What you actually receive First Monday of every month

Before the pitch, the receipt.

On the first Monday of every month, a one-page report lands in your inbox, with one overall status at the top: what search sent you, where you rank on the searches worth tracking, what your Google Business Profile did, and whether the site stayed up and fast.

  1. ReachClicks from search and times shown in search, month over month.
  2. RankingsEvery tracked search, including the ones that moved back.
  3. Google Business ProfileCalls, direction requests and website clicks.
  4. Health and speedUptime day by day, backups, security fixes, SSL renewal and the three Core Web Vitals.

The sample is one fictional client, a Mississauga HVAC business. Whatever you sell, the format and the level of detail are the same.

Fictional sample for illustration.

Tap the report to read it full size

The portfolio? You're already on it.

Most agency portfolios lead with their best client's site. Mine leads with this one, then shows the range: sample home pages for businesses that do not exist, built to the same standard I ship for the businesses that hire me. If this site works on you as a buyer, one like it will work on your customers.

Concept home pages for businesses that do not exist, to show the range. Every one is fictional, and your site will be shaped by your own brand, photos and words.

The search side is the same. This site is indexed, schema-marked and written to be found, which is the Rank work I do on your site every month.

Built by one operator in the GTA, who also handles web design services across the GTA.

One product, two pillars

Rebuild it right. Then make it findable.

One half is the site itself: five pages, mobile-first, live in 10 business days. The other half is the search work that puts it in front of the people already typing what you sell and your city into Google. You buy both. One fixed build price, one monthly plan.

Pillar one

Build

  • Five pages: home, services, about, contact, and one service-detail page
  • Mobile-first layout that holds up on a phone, one-handed, on bad signal
  • Live 10 business days after your content arrives, two rounds of revisions
  • Hosting, domain onboarding, and launch-day support
  • Fixed price and fixed scope. Nothing creeps because the scope is the price

Pillar two

Rank

  • On-page SEO: titles, meta descriptions, headings, alt text
  • Schema markup so search engines read the site as a real local business
  • Google Business Profile setup and local listing cleanup
  • Ongoing monthly search work inside your care plan, from $99/mo, not a second invoice
  • A monthly report showing clicks from search, times shown in search, rankings on tracked searches, and calls from your Google Business Profile

Not sure you need this? Bring your current site to a 20-minute call and I'll tell you straight. If your Google Business Profile is already doing the job and nobody has to understand your services or your pricing before they call you, I'll say so. That's a real answer, and it costs you nothing.

How it runs Two rounds of revisions

Two weeks, step by step.

Ten business days, about two calendar weeks, from the day your content arrives to launch, with the search work built into every step instead of sold to you later. Respond within one business day at each review and the timeline holds.

  1. 01 · Days 1-2

    Kickoff

    A 60-minute call to lock the scope, collect your content, and agree on the five pages. I also pull your current search footprint: what you rank for now, what your competitors rank for, and which local terms are actually winnable.

  2. 02 · Days 3-4

    Design

    Mockups for every page, on desktop and phone, with one round of revisions. Page titles, headings, and URL structure are decided here, not bolted on afterwards, because that structure is what search engines read first.

  3. 03 · Days 5-9

    Build

    The site gets built, with schema markup, meta descriptions, image alt text, and the Google Business Profile wiring done as part of the build. You get a live staging link and a second round of revisions on the real thing.

  4. 04 · Day 10

    Launch

    Domain, hosting, and analytics go live, the sitemap gets submitted, and indexing is requested the same day. Google takes anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks to index a new site. From there the monthly work starts: schema, titles, and your Google Business Profile kept accurate, plus a one-page report showing clicks from search, times shown in search, rankings on tracked searches, and calls from your Google Business Profile, and the care plan you pick decides what happens on top of that.

One product. Two ways to buy. CAD, before tax

Pick the track that fits. The price is on the page.

Productized package

The free website scan takes two to five minutes and shows your home page as a stranger sees it on a phone. If it finds a problem, order my written website audit online ($49 plus tax), credited toward any build booked within 30 days of paying for the audit (the tax on it is not). Or book a 20-minute call about a new site. Not available to businesses billed in Quebec.

Common questions

Three things owners ask first. The rest are on the FAQ.

  1. Is the SEO work an extra line on the invoice?

    No. Rank is the second half of the same product, and it ships inside the care plan you're already paying for the site.

    Read the full answer

  2. How long before I actually rank for anything?

    Indexing takes days. Ranking takes months.

    Read the full answer

  3. How does the 10-business-day turnaround work?

    If you respond within one business day at every revision step, the timeline holds. If you don't, the timeline slips.
