Web design and local SEO in Waterloo
Websites and search visibility for Waterloo businesses in a university and technology market.
How local search works in Waterloo
Waterloo's population turns over every September, which is unusual and worth building for. A business here is constantly being discovered for the first time by people who have no local knowledge at all, and they discover it on a phone, on Google, in the first week. Uptown businesses that keep their listings current benefit twice a year, every year.
What we would fix first in Waterloo
Keep the listing current for September. Waterloo's population turns over every academic year, which means you are repeatedly discovered for the first time by people with no local knowledge, and they find you on a phone in week one.
