What We Do
Everything Your Local SEO Needs
We cover every pillar of local search — so your business shows up when it matters most: when someone nearby is ready to buy.
Local Keyword Research & Strategy
We identify the exact search terms your customers use — "plumber in Burnaby," "best café near Metrotown" — and build a content and optimization plan to rank for them ahead of your competitors.
On-Page SEO & Landing Pages
Geo-targeted title tags, meta descriptions, header optimization, and dedicated location pages designed to satisfy both search engines and real humans who land on your site.
Citation Building & NAP Cleanup
Consistent business name, address, and phone number (NAP) across 50+ local directories — Yelp, Yellow Pages, Apple Maps, Bing Places — is a foundational local ranking signal we get right from day one.
Review Generation Strategy
Google reviews directly influence your Maps ranking and conversion rate. We implement ethical, scalable systems to generate a consistent stream of 5-star reviews from your satisfied customers.
Monthly Reporting & Insights
Clear, jargon-free reporting every month: keyword rankings, Google Business Profile impressions, call volume, direction requests, and website traffic — so you always know exactly what you're getting.
How It Works
From Invisible to In-Demand
A clear, four-phase process — no fluff, no mysteries.
Local SEO Audit
We analyze your current Google Business Profile, website, citations, reviews, and competitors to pinpoint exactly where you're losing ground in local search.
Strategy & Roadmap
Based on your audit findings and business goals, we build a prioritized 90-day action plan with clear milestones — so you know what gets done and when.
Implementation
Our team executes on every front: GBP optimization, on-page edits, citation building, link outreach, and review systems — done-for-you, no homework for you.
Monitor & Improve
Local SEO is ongoing. We track rankings, adapt to algorithm changes, and expand your footprint month over month to compound your results over time.

Common Questions About Local SEO
Everything you need to know before making a decision — answered honestly.
Most local businesses in Burnaby and Vancouver begin seeing measurable ranking improvements within 60–90 days. Reaching the top 3 Google Maps positions in competitive industries such as legal, dental, or real estate can take 4–6 months. We set realistic timelines based on your current baseline and competition level.
Every Zelvara local SEO engagement includes Google Business Profile optimization, local keyword research, on-page SEO, NAP citation building and cleanup across 50+ directories, review generation strategy, local link acquisition, and monthly performance reporting with plain-language insights.
A website significantly strengthens your local SEO results, but we can meaningfully improve your Google Maps visibility even with only a Google Business Profile. If you need a website, Zelvara also offers professional web design services optimized for local conversion from day one.
Zelvara's local SEO plans start at $799/month for single-location businesses in Metro Vancouver. Pricing scales based on your industry competitiveness, number of locations, and the scope of work required. We offer a free audit and proposal so you see the exact plan and pricing before committing.
We are a Burnaby-based team that exclusively serves Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, which means we have deep knowledge of the local search landscape, competitive dynamics, and regional customer behaviour. We charge no lock-in contracts, provide full data transparency, and assign a dedicated account manager to every client — not a rotating support queue.
