Let’s start with the basics.

To rank your company higher for certain keywords, SEO agencies use different techniques and tricks. They usually start by analyzing your current position as well as your competitors and formulate a SEO strategy that is then executed step by step.
The techniques that are used and the steps that are taken can vary, but they usually go thought the following order.
What Does a SEO Agency Do?
Doing SEO for clients usually includes the following services:
- SEO Audit: A full SEO audit analyzes every detail of your website, including the website structure, the loading speed and how search engines view it. It also examines the keywords used, the quality of the content that is on the website and the backlinks.
- Keyword Research: Analysis of the important keywords for your business. Those are the keywords that customers use to find your product. Comparing them to the keywords your competition uses and forming a strategy to get running on their keywords and get more clicks and conversions.
- Technical SEO: Optimizing the technical side of your SEO, meaning fixing your website structure and making sure your website loads fast. Optimizing your indexability, so Google can crawl your website easier and give you better ranking.
- Content Writing: Helping you write content for your blog and other webpages. Giving you advice on how to use keywords to reach your audience and what format to use. Also writing content for you on previously agreed terms that later you can redact and change as you see fit.
- Link Building: Helping you to connect with other players in your industry from Montreal and Quebec, and all around Canada. These people work in the same field, write blogs, post reviews, or share stories about local businesses. Getting links from them helps improve SEO and boosts authority.
- Local SEO: Good Montreal SEO agency should help you to double or triple your local Montreal business. By optimizing your website to show up always when local customers are looking for your product. They should help you get more good reviews, and place you on different map apps and in directories so you get more Montreal traffic, especially from Longueuil, Laval, Saint-Jérôme, Dorval, Beloeil and surrounding areas.
- Monitoring and Course Correction: After implementing all the changes and optimizations, the SEO agency should help you monitor your results and see how your website performs. You should get monthly reports and calls with the main people in the agency that will explain to you what they are doing and what results does it have on your website. Sometimes course corrections will need to be made and new things should be introduced to make the SEO strategy and results better.
