\n

An SEO engagement touches code, content, data and conversions. A web SEO agency that produces everything in-house avoids the three risks of relying on a single resource: downtime, departure and blind spots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Specialists, Not a Single Resource<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

A solid engagement draws on several areas of expertise, brought together in-house and used to working as a team.

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n Accordions<\/span>\n \n \n
\n Accordion<\/span>\n

What does a Montreal SEO agency do for your visibility?<\/h3>\n \n
\n

It works on three levers: your site’s technical foundation, content quality and authority. We fix indexing issues, create pages that match commercial search intent, then build authority. We also optimize your presence in AI engines. Everything is done in-house, with a monthly report and an action log.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n\n\n

\n Accordion<\/span>\n

How does an SEO engagement work?<\/h3>\n \n
\n

The engagement starts with a scoping phase, followed by the SEO audit, which is the first paid phase. Next comes implementation, month by month: technical fixes, content, link building and measurement. Each month, you receive the deliverables and we adjust the roadmap based on the results observed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n\n\n

\n Accordion<\/span>\n

How much does an SEO engagement cost?<\/h3>\n \n
\n

The cost depends on three factors: the size of the site, how competitive your market is and the pace of content production. A local service business site and an institutional site with several thousand pages don’t require the same resources. The budget is set after the diagnosis, with a clear breakdown between technical work, content and authority.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n\n\n

\n Accordion<\/span>\n

How long before I see results?<\/h3>\n \n
\n

Expect three to six months for visible gains on niche queries, and six to twelve months on competitive queries. Technical fixes often have a quick impact on indexing and click-through rate. Google’s SEO Starter Guide<\/a> makes the point: SEO is long-term work, not a one-time adjustment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n\n\n

\n Accordion<\/span>\n

Do you work with subcontractors or freelancers?<\/h3>\n \n
\n

No. We don’t operate like a web SEO agency that hands off execution. Analysis and implementation are done by the same team, in Montreal. Every intermediary we cut out means one less delay, one less loss of information and one less point of failure. A single point of contact is accountable for the quality of the work delivered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n\n\n

\n Accordion<\/span>\n

How do you measure performance?<\/h3>\n \n
\n

We set up Search Console, analytics and conversion tracking, then track clicks, impressions, click-through rate and leads generated. The numbers come from our own dashboards. We never guarantee a ranking: Google’s spam policies<\/a> prohibit it. What we guarantee is a written plan and transparent reporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n\n\n

\n Accordion<\/span>\n

Do you manage visibility in AI engines?<\/h3>\n \n
\n

Yes. GEO covers the practices that increase the likelihood of being cited in AI-generated answers: original content, clear structure, accurate and up-to-date information, consistent structured data and visible expertise signals. Google states that no special markup is required and that SEO fundamentals remain the most reliable approach, as summarized in its post on succeeding in AI search<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n\n\n

\n Accordion<\/span>\n

Where is your data hosted and processed?<\/h3>\n \n
\n

In Canada. Your analytics data, search exports and content stay in Canadian environments, in colocation facilities in Quebec. No data is transferred outside Canada without your explicit decision. Our practices follow ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2 and Quebec’s Law 25 requirements for personal information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
