    Vancouver SEO Company “To-The-TOP!” has a remarkable 17-year presence in the market. We have successfully delivered outstanding results in over 54 projects, ranking our clients’ websites between positions 1 and 5 in search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.

After working with more than 80 websites for many areas including Vancouver, we developed a creative process that “wakes” up the success of your website, boosting it all the way to the top!

    Best part? We do all the work for you. Here’s what our signature W.A.K.E.S.TM process looks like:

    Step 1

    Website Audit

    We manually dive deep into your online presence and marketing, seeking answers to vital questions like:
    • Why is your website struggling to attract unique visitors?
    • What’s causing users to spend less time on your site?
    • Why isn’t your website among the top results in Google, Bing, or Yahoo searches?
    • What are the reasons behind lacklustre sales?

    Step 2

    Analyzing and Answering

    It’s that simple: more views lead to more sales.

    We employ strategic methods to distribute your website’s links effectively across the web, ensuring they catch the eye of your potential customers. It will help search engines recognize your website’s value, pushing it to the top of search results (ideally in the top five), which leads you to efficiently reaching your target audience, increasing visibility, driving organic traffic, and potentially multiplying your sales.

    Step 3

    Keyword Research

    Think of keyword research as the roadmap for your online journey.

    Just as signposts guide travelers to their destinations, keywords lead search engines and users to your website. We identify the most common queries from your target audience and analyze the words and phrases they use. Incorporating these keywords into your website is where the magic (and increased sales) happens.

    Step 4

    Effective Search Engine Optimization and Exposure

    Effective SEO will turn your website into a well-organized store.

    Each page is fine-tuned to showcase your products effectively. Much like arranging products in a store to catch the eyes of shoppers, SEO ensures your website attracts online visitors and makes your offerings hard to overlook. In essence, SEO transforms your website into a customer-attracting store, beautifully showcasing what you have to offer.

    Step 5

    Strategic support

    We take action when it comes to you and your website.

    We're not just about advice. With our strategic support, we regularly update your site, add fresh content, and actively promote it on other platforms. This forward-facing strategy maintains your position in search engine results, preserving your online visibility and keeping your website relevant to your target audience.

    What is Vancouver SEO?

    It is the process of optimizing your website with the search algorithms specifically in the Vancouver area. This will generate more valuable visitors to your site and higher sales.

    What is On-Page SEO?

    This SEO process is designed to optimize the elements on your website's pages. We'll optimize the content, keywords, images, and videos for the best results. We will also optimize elements like meta tags, headings, internal links and url structures to make your site more effective.

    What is Off-Page SEO?

    These are activities that happen outside of your site. These send signals to the engines about the quality of your content in relation to keywords. Links to your site from other sites, your social media strategy, marketing plan, and other digital marketing programs help search engines find out the importance and relevance of your pages.

    Is hiring an SEO Team worth it?

    Internet marketing specialist comparing SEO and PPC
    Definitely! But you don't need to take our word for it. Let's do an experiment. Look at a keyword that describes your business. Let's say it's "organic dog treats". The current cost per click to advertise at the top of Google is $4.45 per click. To get 1,000 clicks per month, that would be $4,450 per month for visitors alone. They may not buy anything. You do not pay per click for visits from organic listings. They are free. That's why you need SEO!

    How long do search engine rankings take?

    Big updates to search indexes happen every 4 to 6 months. That means any changes can take between 4 to 6 months to occur. If an SEO consultant guarantees it will happen faster, that is a red flag.

    How do I choose a Vancouver SEO company?

    To find the number 1 SEO in Vancouver, do a search! How was their website ranked? Was it advertised as an Ad? Or was it on the first page of search results? If it wasn't ranked well, how can you trust them to do better on your site? Also take a look at their other clients and their digital marketing strategies. Do your homework. Do they even know where Vancouver is? Building a reputation online requires marketing experts with excellent marketing techniques so make sure you spend your hard-earned money in the right place!

    Can I measure SEO success?

    magic SEO tools
    Yes. We use a number of different tools to measure success. We use:
    • Google Analytics.
    • Screaming Frog SEO Spider.
    • SEM Rush.
    • Ahrefs.
    • Serpsta.
    • Plagiarism Checker.
    • Neuron Writer.

    Can SEO harm my website?

    Sometimes yes. It is important to find the right marketing team with good practices. Many SEO companies will use "black hat" tactics. These are methods designed to trick the major providers listing a site higher. Things like keyword stuffing, comment spamming, and links from fake sites, can all damage your company website. To-The-Top never uses any of these tactics so you stay at the top.

    Do I need Google Analytics?

    We strongly recommend Google Analytics for your site. It will clearly demonstrate both the visitors and sales generated by search traffic. Armed with this data, we can adapt and improve your campaigns to drive your site To-The-Top!

    Do I need Google Search Console?

    You don't need it but it is recommended. Search console analyzes your site for technical challenges and will display important data on how your site is being indexed. The console highlights site issues like the mobile user experience not being ideal, or more advanced challenges like canonical urls not being declared properly. The console highlights these issues and sets your site up for success.

    How do I start?

    Is enterprise SEO only for large business?

    No. We offer the same great service regardless of how large your business is. The main difference for enterprise is the number of pages and elements that need to be optimized. The underlying search engine optimization services are the same.

    Is optimization the same as digital marketing?

    Sort of. Optimizing for search is part of the digital marketing mix. The mix will incorporate paid media, social marketing, email marketing and the other digital activities together with search. No. While both work with keywords in order to find the right customer, paid search costs money for every click. You don't need to pay for clicks that come organically from the results!
