Get My Free AI Visibility CheckWhy search sits at the center
Before someone calls you, they search. They type your service into Google, check your reviews on Maps, or ask ChatGPT who to trust. Every one of those moments runs on search. If you don't show up, you don't get considered.
That's why Hello Search Marketing is built as a digital marketing SEO agency, not a collection of disconnected services. Your website, Google Ads, social media and reviews all matter. But they all work better when search is the foundation underneath them. That's the difference between an SEO company that chases rankings and a Vancouver digital marketing partner that builds demand you own.
How a local customer finds you
Step 1
Search
They type your service into Google, open Maps, or ask ChatGPT who to hire.
→
Step 2
Compare
They check your Google Business Profile, reviews and AI answers against competitors.
→
Step 3
Visit
They land on your website to see if you're the right fit.
→
Step 4
Contact
They call, fill in a form or book, and every lead is tracked.

A booked job you can trace back to the search that started it.
Search runs through every step. If you're missing at step 1 or 2, the customer never reaches your website.

The takeaway: AI search didn't replace SEO. It raised the stakes. The businesses that rank organically are the same businesses AI tools cite. Our SEO services are built to win both.
The Local Customer Acquisition System
Most local businesses juggle separate vendors for their website, SEO, Google Ads, social media and reputation. The result is fragmented marketing, disconnected strategies, and reporting that makes it hard to see what actually drives revenue.
We bring the entire system together in one place. Every channel works together to help your business get found, build trust, generate qualified leads, and turn that demand into calls, appointments, estimates, customers and revenue.

In just a few months, our organic website traffic increased by over 240%, our Google Business Profile views grew by 300%+, and we received significantly more calls and qualified leads.

“Working with Arpi and Kris has been one of the best investments we've made in our marketing. Over 6-8 months, our organic website traffic increased by 72%, qualified leads grew by 48%, and our website conversion rate improved from 2.4% to 4.1% after they redesigned our conversion funnel. They also helped us implement AI-powered follow-up systems that reduced our average response time by 80% and improved client retention by 22%. As a healthcare clinic, we appreciated their understanding of healthcare marketing and their attention to patient privacy. They were knowledgeable about PIPEDA and HIPAA considerations and helped us build marketing systems with data protection in mind. If you're looking for an SEO agency in Vancouver that focuses on measurable growth and understands regulated industries, we'd confidently recommend them.”
Max Scholz · Google review
★★★★★
“In the first 3 months, we went from relying almost entirely on referrals to generating 20+ inbound leads per month directly from Google. Our local visibility increased by around 70%, and our Google Business Profile became a consistent, reliable lead source which made revenue feel way more predictable month to month. What really stood out about working with Arpi is how clearly she understands where SEO is going, especially with AI and how people are actually searching now. This wasn't outdated, checkbox SEO. Everything felt intentional, modern, and built for long-term visibility across Google and newer search experiences. She's super clear, strategic, and genuinely cares about getting real results, not just vanity metrics. You always know what's being worked on and why. Highly recommend. You won't regret it. Best marketing agency in vancouver and lower mainland!”
Alyssa Gonzalez · Google review
★★★★★
“Over the last 6 months working with Arpi and Hello Search Marketing, our organic traffic increased by over 85% and we started ranking on page 1 for several local Vancouver keywords. We're now getting consistent weekly leads from Google Maps and local search instead of relying only on referrals. Highly recommend if you want a reliable SEO agency in Vancouver that actually understands modern SEO and AI search.”

“Arpy, the owner, is great! Within 2–3 months, we went from mostly referrals to generating 15–25 monthly leads from Google. Our local visibility improved significantly, and SEO now plays a key role in our consistent client flow.”

Book a Discovery CallAI SEO, GEO & AEO
People now ask AI platforms to compare options and recommend businesses. Those platforms pick a handful of trusted sources for each answer. If your business isn't one of them, you're invisible to a growing share of buyers, no matter where you rank on Google.
AI SEO: optimizing your site and brand for AI-powered search and ChatGPT-style discovery.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): structuring your brand, content and authority so AI systems cite and recommend you.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization): formatting content so it can be pulled directly into AI answers, featured snippets and voice results.
Test real buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Claude. See where you appear, where competitors appear instead, and your E-E-A-T baseline.
Make your business name, services, locations and people consistent everywhere AI systems look: your site, schema, Google Business Profile, directories and social profiles.
Clear definitions, direct answers, comparisons, FAQs and expert commentary written to be extracted and cited.
Placements on the high-authority sites, directories and publications AI systems already reference.
Author credentials, awards, reviews and case studies that prove experience, expertise and trust.
Regular prompt testing, citation tracking and competitor benchmarking, reported monthly.
Why AI SEO and traditional SEO work together: AI Overviews pull most of their sources from pages that already rank on Google. Strong SEO is the foundation; AI optimization makes sure you're the source that gets quoted.

The team behind the strategy, systems and growth
Arpi and Kris lead Hello Search Marketing together, combining strategy, creativity, technology and execution to give businesses a stronger, more consistent path to client growth.
Arpi · Founder & CEO
Kris · Managing Director
Arpi, Founder & CEO, leads the agency's vision, strategy and approach to growth. She has 12+ years of experience across search, digital marketing and customer acquisition, and has served 500+ clients across Canada, the US and Europe. Her career is built on understanding how people discover businesses, what makes them trust a brand, and what moves them to act. She connects SEO, AI search, content, funnels, automation and client acquisition into one system that works together.
Kris, Managing Director, brings that strategy to life. He oversees day-to-day execution, with a focus on content, social media, messaging, lead generation and creative direction. Kris makes sure the strategy doesn't just look good on paper, but turns into clear communication and marketing that connects with the right audience.
Together, they take a hands-on approach with every business they work with. Instead of treating marketing as separate services, they look at the whole client journey: the search, the content someone sees, the reviews they read, the questions they have, and the moment they decide to buy. The result is marketing where every part works toward the same goal: helping the right clients find you, understand why you're the right choice, and feel confident taking the next step.

FAQ
Our SEO starts at $800/month. The final price depends on how competitive your market is, how many services and locations you want to rank for, and how much content your site needs. You'll get a fixed monthly scope before you start.
Websites start at $3,000 one-time. That includes local SEO, AI SEO, and every feature you need to be found: fast load times, mobile-first design, schema markup, lead capture and conversion tracking. We don't build websites without SEO, because a website that doesn't get traffic doesn't do its job.
Most businesses see meaningful movement in 3 to 6 months. Google Business Profile and technical fixes can show results sooner. Our Langley law firm client went from 11 to 79 page-one keywords in 5 months. And our 90-Day Ranking Guarantee means you'll see your main keyword improve, or we keep working for free.
If your main target keyword hasn't improved in Google rankings within 90 days, we keep working on your SEO for free until it does. The only thing we ask is that you reply to emails and approve work promptly. It applies to SEO services, not ads.
No. Every engagement is month-to-month, with no setup fees. If we're not delivering, you can leave.
You do. Your website is built on your domain, and your content, data, Google Business Profile and ad accounts stay in your name.
They're the work that gets your business cited in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. If your customers use AI tools to research providers, and most do now, you need it. It builds on SEO rather than replacing it.
Both. Search is the center of everything we do, and we add web design, Google Ads, content, reviews and social media around it. You get one team and one strategy instead of five vendors.
Three things: we tie our work to leads and revenue, not just rankings; we put our guarantee in writing; and you work directly with the people who built the strategy. Our clients report 72% to 240% organic traffic growth, and we hold a 5.0-star rating across 37 Google reviews.
