Show up when Calgary customers
search for you.
$1,500 + GST. 2–3 weeks. One-off, no retainer. A complete fix-up of the search groundwork on your existing Calgary website — so when locals Google your trade, you actually show up. Plus up to 8 new pages for the suburbs and services that bring you jobs, and 6 long-form blog posts so Google has reasons to send people your way.
What is local SEO in Calgary?
Local SEO is the work that makes your Calgary business show up when locals search for what you do.
It splits cleanly in two. On-site work — the code that tells Google what your business is (schema), title tags, heading structure, content rewritten in the format AI tools pull from, technical fixes — happens inside your website. Off-site work — Google Business Profile, reviews, directory listings, keeping your name/address/phone the same everywhere — happens out in the wider web.
HCD's Search Visibility Fix is a one-time job that handles the on-site side completely. The off-site work you own — and I'll point you at exactly what to do, in plain English, with no ongoing bill.

How to rank on Google Maps in Calgary.
Six things determine whether your Calgary business shows up in the map pack. The first two are what the Fix implements. The rest are yours.
The code that tells Google your business details
LocalBusiness schema with your name, address, phone, service area, and what you do. The single biggest on-site signal for local rankings.
On-page content Google can actually read
Title tags, headings, and answers written in the format AI tools pull from. If Google can't parse your pages, no amount of GBP work will save you.
Complete Google Business Profile
Every field filled in — categories, service area, hours, photos, detailed description. Yours to manage.
Same name, address, and phone everywhere
Identical on every directory. I'll give you the list to clean up.
Recent reviews and responses
Ask every customer. Respond to every review. Fresh reviews are a major ranking factor — and they're free.
Regular Google Business Profile posts
Weekly updates signal an active, operating business. Five minutes a week. No agency needed.
Local SEO for Calgary contractors is different.
Most Calgary contractors work across a service area, not from a fixed address. That changes how local SEO works.
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, landscapers — your Google Business Profile needs to be set up as a service-area business, not with a public address. You need a page on your website for each suburb you cover. And the code Google reads needs to show you actually work in those areas — without thin, copy-pasted pages.
The Search Visibility Fix gets the website side right in one job — schema, page structure, content rewritten for AI answers, and the suburb pages built. The GBP service-area setup is yours to manage.

Local SEO questions, answered.
What is local SEO in Calgary?
It's the work that gets your business showing up when locals search for what you do. It splits in two: on-site work (the code that tells Google what your business is, title tags, content structure) and off-site work (Google Business Profile, reviews, directories). The Search Visibility Fix covers the on-site side as a one-time job; the off-site work you own.
How do I rank on Google Maps in Calgary?
Six things: the code that tells Google what your business is (LocalBusiness schema), on-page content Google can read, a complete Google Business Profile, the same name/address/phone across every directory, recent reviews, and regular GBP posts. The Fix handles the first two. The rest you own — and I'll tell you exactly what to do.
How long does local SEO take in Calgary?
Early movement shows within 4–6 weeks once the on-site fixes are live. Meaningful rankings in competitive Calgary categories build over 3–6 months. Local rankings compound — once you're up there, it's hard to displace you.
How much does local SEO cost for Calgary contractors?
$1,500 AUD + GST as a one-off for the Search Visibility Fix. That's the audit and every on-site fix your existing site needs, plus up to 8 new pages and 6 blog posts. No monthly retainer. The GBP and review work is yours to manage.
Why isn't my Calgary business showing up on Google Maps?
Most common causes: no LocalBusiness schema on your website, generic title tags, incomplete Google Business Profile, name/address/phone different across directories, few recent reviews, or wrong service area settings. The Fix checks the on-site causes and ships every fix.
Is local SEO different for Calgary contractors?
Yes. Contractors work across a service area, not from a fixed address. Your GBP needs to be set up as a service-area business, and your website needs the right schema plus a page for each suburb you cover. The Fix gets the website side right; the GBP service-area setup is yours.
