SEO & Analytics
SEO should be standard, not complicated. Best-practice fundamentals plus clear analytics so you can see what's working and reach more customers.
We help businesses across the Creston Valley, the wider Kootenays, and North Idaho get found by the customers already searching for them. Whether you're a trades company in Cranbrook, a shop in Nelson, or a service business across the border in Bonners Ferry, the goal is the same: show up on Google, and increasingly in AI search like ChatGPT and Perplexity, the moment someone nearby looks for what you do.
What's included
Technical SEO
The behind-the-scenes work (site speed, structure, sitemaps, and tags) that helps search engines understand and rank your site.
Local search
Getting you found by nearby customers through Google Business Profile, maps, and local listings.
Analytics setup
Google Analytics and tracking configured properly, so you see real visitor numbers instead of guessing.
Reporting dashboards
Clear, plain-language reports showing what's working, where your traffic comes from, and what to do next.
Content strategy
Planning the pages, keywords, and topics that bring in the customers you actually want.
Case study
Since 2022 we've run SEO best practices, website content, and monthly reporting for the Creston Valley's official visitor guide. Organic search has become the site's single biggest source of visitors. It's the largest channel by a wide margin, well ahead of direct or paid traffic.

Frequently asked
How much does SEO cost for a small business in BC?
Most small-business SEO splits into a one-time foundational setup and optional ongoing work. A foundational pass (fixing technical issues, setting up your Google Business Profile, optimising your key pages, and getting analytics in place) typically runs a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the size of your site. Ongoing monthly work is optional and scales to your goals. We're a small Kootenay studio, not an agency with sales overhead, so you pay for the work itself. After a free look at your site we'll quote a fixed scope so there are no surprises.
Do you work with businesses in North Idaho?
Yes. We're based in the Creston Valley, a short drive from the border, and we work with businesses in Bonners Ferry, Sandpoint, Priest River, Coeur d'Alene, and Post Falls. The SEO build itself is location-independent. What matters is targeting the right local searches, so cross-border work is straightforward. We can meet in person for nearby projects or work entirely remotely.
How long until I see SEO results?
Technical fixes and a properly optimised Google Business Profile can lift your local visibility within a few weeks. Ranking for competitive search terms in organic results usually takes three to six months, because search engines need time to trust new or improved pages. We tackle the quick local wins first so you see movement early, then build the longer-term rankings. Anyone promising page-one results in a week is selling you something.
Will my business show up in AI search like ChatGPT?
Increasingly, yes, and it's worth getting ahead of. Assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity answer questions by drawing on well-structured, clearly-written pages. The same things that help you rank on Google (clean page structure, plain-language answers to real questions, and structured data describing your business and service area) are what get you cited in AI answers. We build with both in mind, so when someone asks an AI "who does web design near Creston?" your business is in the running.
Let's create something amazing together.
