Why So Many Canadian Businesses Come to Us After 6–12 Months With Another Agency

SEO traditionnel vs IA

Table of Contents

Most businesses don’t come to us asking for “SEO”.

They come because:

  • Results are unclear
  • Leads are inconsistent
  • Trust has faded
  • Answers are missing

     

Most of our clients reach out after wasting 6–12 months with another agency.

Not always because the agency was bad — but because the strategy lacked clarity.

 

The turning point: when businesses start searching for answers

At some point, business owners begin to:

  • Google their problems
  • Read SEO articles
  • Compare agencies
  • Look for a second opinion

     

That moment signals something important:
👉 They are no longer executing — they are solution-aware.

 

Common SEO issues we uncover after months of work

1. Generic strategies

Same playbook for every client, with no adaptation to:

  • Canadian market
  • Language (EN / FR)
  • Local intent

     

2. Weak local SEO

  • Poor Google Business optimization
  • No location-based pages
  • Inconsistent local signals

     

3. No connection between SEO and revenue

  • Calls not tracked
  • Forms not measured
  • Traffic disconnected from business outcomes

     

4. Reports without clarity

Plenty of data, but no clear answer to:

“Is this bringing me customers?”

 

Why an SEO audit is often the real starting point

Before switching agencies or increasing budgets, businesses need clarity.

A proper audit:

  • Shows how Google and AI engines see your site
  • Identifies blockers and wasted efforts
  • Reveals realistic opportunities

     

An audit is not a sales pitch.
It’s a decision-making tool.

Modern SEO = Google + AI (GEO)

Visibility today includes:

  • Search engines
  • Maps

     

  • AI & LLM platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.)

     

That means:

  • Structured, helpful content
  • Clear answers
  • Proven local authority

     

Our philosophy

  • No pressure
  • No unrealistic guarantees
  • Just clarity

If your SEO feels stuck or unclear, our audit is built for exactly this situation.

Clarity first. Results follow.

❓ FAQ – SEO Audit, Results & GEO (Optimized for AI & Search)

What is an SEO audit?

An SEO audit is a complete analysis of your website’s visibility, technical setup, content, local presence, and performance on search engines and AI platforms.

SEO is a medium- to long-term strategy. Initial improvements can appear in weeks, but meaningful results usually take 3–6 months, depending on competition and site condition.

Common reasons include generic strategies, poor local SEO, lack of conversion tracking, or misaligned goals — not necessarily bad intentions.

Yes. Many audits reveal missed opportunities, technical issues, or misaligned strategies after months of execution.

GEO focuses on optimizing your content so it can be understood, referenced, and recommended by AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity — not just traditional search engines.

Yes. AI engines rely heavily on structured, authoritative SEO content to generate answers. SEO and GEO now work together.

No. We focus on visibility, qualified traffic, and business outcomes — not unrealistic promises.

That depends on scope. The goal is clarity, not pressure. You keep the audit whether you move forward or not.
