Cost, answered up front

What do Yellowknife businesses typically spend on SEO?

It is usually the first question, and a fair one. Here are the common monthly ranges for a business with a single location, in Canadian dollars, and where our three plans fall among them.

Under $300

Mainly a software subscription

At this level you are typically renting a dashboard. Nobody writes pages, edits your listing or answers questions in any depth.

$300 – $1,500

The normal range for one location

Somebody spends real hours each month improving your profile, your pages and your directory entries, then explains the results. All three of our plans fall here.

Over $1,500

Several locations or territory-wide reach

Firms with branches in more than one community, or companies competing for large contracts across the territory. Most single shops in town never need this.

All prices on this page are in Canadian dollars (CAD).

What shapes the right plan for you

Roughly in order of how much each one weighs.

  1. 01 How busy your category is A camp caterer or an expediter may have only a handful of rivals. A dentist, a furnace company or an aurora tour operator usually has many, some with years of reviews.
  2. 02 Who your customers are Residents of one neighbourhood are simple to reach. Visitors planning an aurora viewing trip from far away, or buyers at the mines, call for more pages and more care.
  3. 03 When demand peaks Furnace calls climb as the cold settles in, aurora viewing peaks from November to March, and fishing and float-plane trips crowd into summer. Pages have to be live before each peak.
  4. 04 The state of your website A dated or sluggish site sometimes has to be fixed first, or the rest is wasted effort. Any such repair is a single, separate quote.
  5. 05 Whether you also want ads Campaign management comes with Pro. Each click is charged by Google itself, on an invoice in your name.

What a monthly fee should buy

A checklist worth holding any agency to, ourselves included.

  • Real changes to your Google Business Profile every month, not just a login
  • Results counted in calls, emails and bookings, alongside rankings
  • New pages built on what people in Yellowknife actually type
  • Behind-the-scenes repairs so pages stay fast and simple for search engines to crawl
  • Every account, login and listing registered in your name
  • One contact who reads your email and replies

When the return usually shows up

Quick corrections first; the larger gains build across a year.

  1. Month one

    Correcting the obvious

    A wrong category, an old phone number, an unverified listing, holiday hours never entered. Fixing these can help almost straight away.

  2. Months three to six

    Change you can count

    New pages are indexed and reviews are arriving. This is when most businesses begin to see calls and rankings move.

  3. Twelve months on

    The real test

    Set a year of fees beside the work that came from search. That comparison tells you whether it paid.

Is SEO likely to earn back its cost for your business?

Not always, and it is better to know that before you spend anything.

Probably worth it if

  • People in Yellowknife, or visitors planning a trip, search for what you sell
  • A single extra customer a month would cover the fee
  • You can give it two seasons before judging
  • There is space in your week for extra jobs

Probably not yet if

  • You are already turning work away
  • Nearly all your revenue comes from one contract or one referral source
  • You need enquiries this week, when ads will be faster
  • Every customer arrives through a personal referral, never through Google

Three commitments

No lock-in

Month to month, always. Stay while it is earning its keep.

No promised rankings

Google sets the order. Promises about it are a sales tactic.

Straight reporting

If rankings climb but the phone stays quiet, we will raise it before you have to.
