For "search marketing agency Vancouver" on Google. Search it yourself.
Why most websites don't bring in business
Most small business websites are built to look good on launch day. Then nothing happens. No one finds them on Google. They load slowly on phones. They have no clear next step, so visitors leave. And no one can tell you where your leads came from.
The usual fix is to hire a web design company for the site and a separate SEO company to make it rank. That means two vendors, two strategies, and a site that gets rebuilt later because it wasn't planned for search in the first place.
We do it the other way around. Every page is planned around what your customers type into Google, check on Maps and ask ChatGPT. Then we design it to turn that visit into a call or a booking. If you're comparing website design in Vancouver, that's the difference to look for.

Website, SEO and AI SEO built together by one team, not three vendors
The takeaway: a website that doesn't rank on Google won't be cited by AI tools either. Search has to be built in from the start.
What's included
As a website development agency built around search, we don't sell design and SEO as separate projects. Every website ships with all five of these.
01 — Strategy first
Before we design anything, we find out what your customers search for and who is winning those searches today. Every page on your new site gets a job and a primary keyword, so nothing competes with anything else.
✓ Keyword research for every service and area
✓ Sitemap built around services and locations
✓ Competitor review on Google, Maps and AI search
✓ One primary keyword per page
✓ Clear plan before design starts
Why the website comes first
Google searches, Maps listings, ads, reviews and AI answers all send people to the same place: your website. If it's slow, unclear or impossible to track, every other channel underperforms. That's why we build it first.

How a website build runs
Your website is built as part of one plan, not a one-off project. Here's how the first four weeks run.
Your first 90 days
Week 1
Audit + Growth Blueprint
Week 2
Foundation Build
Week 3
Demand Generation Setup
Week 4
Launch + Activation
Week 5 onward
Daily optimization. Monthly growth reviews.
Week 4 · Website live
Day 30–45 · Every channel live and working together
Day 90 · Ranking guarantee checkpoint (ongoing SEO)
We review your current site, Google visibility, Google Business Profile, reviews and competitors, then set the sitemap and keyword for every page.
We build or rebuild the site, the lead capture and booking flows, and the tracking and technical SEO underneath.
We connect the channels that send traffic: Google Business Profile, local SEO, review workflows and, if you run them, Google Ads landing pages.
The site goes live. We check tracking, test every form and call button, and confirm leads are coming in.
With ongoing SEO, we improve pages, content and conversion rates every day and review the numbers with you monthly.
Real builds. Real numbers.

“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.”

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.

“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.”

★★★★★
“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!”

“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.”

FAQ
Our websites start at $3,000 one-time. That includes local SEO, AI SEO, mobile-first design, schema markup, lead capture and conversion tracking. The final price depends on how many pages, services and locations your site needs. You get a fixed scope before we start.
Because a website that doesn't get traffic doesn't do its job. Adding SEO after launch usually means rebuilding pages that weren't planned for search. We plan every page around a keyword from the start, so your site launches ready to rank.
Our launch process runs four weeks: audit and sitemap in week 1, the build in week 2, channel setup in week 3 and launch in week 4. Larger sites can take longer, and we'll give you the timeline before we start.
It launches with the technical SEO, schema, service pages and local signals Google needs. Most businesses see meaningful ranking movement in 3 to 6 months. If you add ongoing SEO, our 90-Day Ranking Guarantee applies to your main target keyword.
Yes, it's included. AI SEO means writing and structuring your site so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can understand and cite it. That includes answer-first copy, FAQs and consistent business details.
Yes. We map every existing page before the rebuild, keep the ones that rank, and set up 301 redirects for any URL that changes, so the traffic you've earned carries over.
You do. Your website is built on your domain, and the content, design, data and accounts stay in your name. There's no lock-in.
Not required, but it's how your site keeps growing. Ongoing SEO starts at $800/month, month-to-month, and adds new content, technical fixes and monthly reporting.
Both. Search is the center of everything we do, and your website is where it all lands. You get one team for the site, the SEO and the AI search work.
