Three transparent retainer tiers built for the realities of operating in Ottawa: a local SEO package for small service businesses, a full SEO package for established firms with growth ambitions, and an ad-management add-on for the brands ready to compound paid and organic together. No long-term contracts, no junior account managers, no pricing games.
Every Ottawa SEO Inc. retainer is built around the same three principles: a senior strategist as your direct point of contact, transparent monthly deliverables that we can both point to in a report, and the freedom to leave with 30 days notice. We do not lock clients into 12-month contracts because we do not need to — clients stay because the work compounds, not because the paperwork forces them to. Pricing is honest: the numbers below are the numbers. We do not negotiate down from inflated anchor pricing, and we do not surprise you with line items in month two.
Designed for trades, healthcare practices, professional services, and retail with one to three locations across the National Capital Region. Includes Google Business Profile management, local citation building, review acquisition strategy, neighborhood landing pages for Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans, Nepean, and beyond, monthly local-search reporting, and a quarterly strategy review with a senior strategist. Starts at $999/month. See our Local SEO service page for the full deliverables list.
Designed for businesses ready to invest in compounding organic growth across the full search surface — classical Google rankings, AI Overview citations, ChatGPT mentions, and Map Pack visibility. Includes everything in the Local SEO package plus monthly content production (4-8 pieces), comprehensive technical SEO, backlink acquisition, schema architecture, Core Web Vitals optimization, and bilingual content where applicable. Custom-quoted after a discovery call; typical engagements range $2,500-$5,000/month. See our SEO service page for the full deliverables list.
Available as an add-on to any SEO package. Manages Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Meta Ads with the same senior-led approach as our SEO work. We do not run ads in isolation — we use organic search data to inform ad copy, landing page design, and audience targeting, and we use ad performance data to inform our content roadmap. Custom-quoted based on monthly ad spend; management fees typically 15-20% of spend with a $750/month minimum. See our digital marketing service page for the integrated approach.
We do not include link building from PBNs, foreign content mills, or any tactic Google has discounted for the last decade. We do not bulk-publish AI content without senior editorial review. We do not include vanity reporting designed to make our work look better than it is. We do not include 'consultation hours' that you have to use up — your senior strategist is available when you need them, period.
Week 1: discovery call, technical audit, competitive analysis. Week 2: strategy roadmap, presented in a 60-minute session with you and the senior strategist who will run your account. Week 3-4: implementation begins on the highest-impact items identified in the audit. Month 2 onward: monthly progress reports, quarterly strategy reviews, continuous optimization. You see results from technical work in 30-60 days, content-driven results in 90-180 days, and full ROI realization in 6-12 months.
