Search is where buying decisions start. We optimize your website, your content, and your Google Business Profile so your business shows up when it counts, then show you exactly what changed.

Invisible Is Expensive

Someone in your area is searching for what you sell right now. If you’re on page three, they’ll never know you exist, and the business two streets over gets the call instead.

Most sites aren’t invisible because of one big mistake. It’s usually a pile of small ones: pages that target nothing in particular, headings that tell Google nothing, a Google Business Profile left half finished, and content that answers questions nobody is asking.

What's Included in Our SEO Work

SEO Audit

We start by finding out what's holding you back: technical issues, page structure, content gaps, and where you stand against your competitors.

Keyword Research

We identify the searches your customers actually use, including the ones with real buying intent, and map each one to a page on your site.

On-Page Optimization

Title tags, meta descriptions, headings, internal links, and content, rewritten so each page has a clear job and a clear target.

Technical SEO

Site speed, mobile usability, crawling and indexing, schema markup, redirects, and anything else stopping search engines from reading your site properly.

Local SEO

Your Google Business Profile, service pages, local citations, and reviews, set up to help you show up in map results and "near me" searches.

Content Strategy

A plan for the pages and articles that will bring in the right traffic, based on what your customers search and what your competitors have missed.

Showing Up in AI Answers

More people are asking AI assistants for recommendations instead of scrolling through search results. The work that earns those mentions overlaps with good SEO: clear content that answers real questions, accurate business information everywhere it appears, proper schema markup, and a site that’s easy to read and crawl.

We build all of that in, so you’re visible whether your customer searches, asks, or taps the map.

Why Businesses Choose Ghosty for SEO

We Build the Websites Too

Most SEO agencies hand you a list of fixes and leave you to find a developer. We build websites, so we can fix the root causes ourselves.

No Guarantees, Just Honesty

Nobody can guarantee a number one ranking, and anyone who does is guessing. We'll tell you what's realistic for your market and how long it should take.

Local and Beyond

We understand local search for Hamilton-area businesses, and we work with clients across Canada, the US, and the UK who compete in bigger markets.

Reporting You Can Read

No 40-page automated PDFs. You get a clear picture of what changed, what it means, and what's next.

What Does SEO Cost?

SEO pricing depends on how competitive your market is and how much work your site needs. We’ll quote it after a discovery call and an initial review.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does SEO take to work?

Most businesses start seeing movement in three to six months, with bigger gains building from there. Technical fixes and Google Business Profile work can show results sooner, while competitive keywords take longer.

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Google’s results depend on factors nobody controls. What we can promise is the work that reliably improves your visibility, and honest reporting on what it delivers.

Local SEO focuses on showing up in map results and “near me” searches, which depends heavily on your Google Business Profile and reviews. Regular SEO focuses on your website’s rankings in search results. Most local businesses need both.

They do different jobs. Ads bring traffic the moment you pay and stop when you do. SEO builds traffic that keeps coming. Running both usually works better than either alone.

Yes, that’s usually where the biggest gains are. We agree on changes with you first, and if we built your site, we can make them directly.

We have a six-month minimum, since SEO takes time to show results.

Yes. We’re based in Hamilton, Ontario, and do SEO for businesses across Canada, the US, and the UK.
