You'll never wonder what you're paying for

Most agencies send a pretty chart and hope you don't ask questions. We built Alfred, an AI operations system that runs the repetitive parts of local marketing (Google profile updates, posts, review replies, task logs, invoices) and records proof of every task.

Compete with franchises in Toronto without the franchise budget.

Why Toronto businesses choose local SEO

Toronto is really dozens of local markets stitched together. A café in Leslieville competes with other cafés in Leslieville, not with the ones in Etobicoke, and a plumber in North York lives or dies by who shows up when someone in Willowdale searches "plumber near me." That's what makes local search here so tough: in nearly every category, independent shops share the Google map pack with franchises and chains that have national marketing budgets behind them. Add the constant churn of new openings along Queen West, the Danforth and Ossington, plus a short patio season that every restaurant is fighting to fill, and staying visible becomes a weekly job. The good news is that Google rewards relevance and activity, not just size. A complete profile with the right categories, fresh photos, steady review replies and a website that names the neighbourhoods you serve can put a two-person shop in front of the right customers. We do that work remotely for Toronto businesses and log every task so you can see it. Start with a free Local Visibility Audit to see where you stand in your part of the city.

Questions owners ask us

Is there a contract?

No. Plans are month-to-month, and you can cancel with proper notice.

Is the audit really free?

Yes. You get the scorecard and video whether or not you ever hire us.

Do you work with businesses outside Ontario?

Yes, anywhere in Canada. Everything runs remotely: video calls, phone, email, and your proof report.

What's Alfred?

Our AI operations system. It handles repetitive tasks and logs proof of each one, so you see exactly what was done and when.

How fast will I see results?

Profile fixes can show up quickly, but local SEO usually builds over a few months. We won't promise rankings; we'll promise the work and show you proof.

Do I need a new website?

Usually not. If your site is holding you back, we'll tell you in the audit. Website builds are quoted separately.

Is ad spend included?

No. On Full Service, ad spend is paid directly to Google/Meta, so you always own your accounts.

Do you offer service in French?

Yes. We're primarily an English-language agency, but we can also help French-speaking clients.

Who will I actually talk to?

Todd, the owner. No account-manager shuffle.
