Our SEO services and the expertise of our Montreal specialists
Our services SEO and the expertise of our Montreal specialists
We structure our SEO solutions around five services that cover the entire SEO cycle, from the initial audit to the monthly position tracking. Each service can be subscribed to separately, but the best results come from strategies that combine technique, content, links, and AI visibility.
Technical SEO Audit
We conduct an in-depth analysis of your site’s structure (speed, indexing, architecture, mobile experience) to identify what is blocking your visibility. Unlike a generic audit produced by an automated tool, ours is interpreted by a specialist who prioritizes fixes based on their actual impact on your traffic, not according to a list of 200 technical alerts without hierarchy. Result: you know exactly where to invest first instead of receiving a 40-page report that no one reads.
- The audit covers the 3 pillars of SEO in a single prioritized report: technical, semantic (on-page), and popularity (link building).
- The deliverable is a turnkey report, readable by both a marketing department or a solopreneur as well as a development team or an editorial team.
- An audit generally represents one month of production with a study + analysis + personalized recommendations. Several checkpoints are addressed according to the type of website and the client’s issues.
Semantic audit, on-page optimization, and content
We identify the keywords that generate customers (not just traffic), then we optimize or write the content that will capture them. Keyword research intersects volume, search intent, local competition, presence of AI Overviews, and long-tail, in both French and English. The writing applies Google’s criteria as major qualitative criteria: direct answer in the first sentence, original data, JSON-LD markup, identified author. Result: each published page has a specific role in your sales funnel, and you know why it exists.
- Quick Wins Optimization of your SEO setup: Precise and accepted tag standards: 55 to 65 characters for the title tag, 145 to 155 characters for the meta description.
- Selection of priority semantic themes (semantic cocoon): pages organized by hierarchical themes and interconnected through internal linking.
- A multi-step writing method: Semantic audit, selection of SEO priorities and according to your priorities, choice of topics and web writing.

SEO local et Google Business Profile
We optimize your geographical visibility to capture local searches such as (Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and on the South Shore..): profile Google Business Profile, local citations. 46% of Google searches have local intent and 42% of internet users click on Local Pack results. For a local business or service, it’s the lever that generates leads the fastest: calls and visits, not just positions.
- A full local package represents 10 to 20 hours of work per month.
- The investment costs between ,500 and $3,500 per month.
- Agency honored with the Consumer Choice Award 2026 on the island of Montreal, a distinction based on customer satisfaction.
- The agency has built a vast network of local, national, and international websites since 2013, which can be mobilized for the local notoriety of its clients.
Link acquisition (netlinking)
We build your domain authority with relevant links, never with artificial volume: editorial partnerships, contributions to recognized Canadian and Quebec media, original studies that naturally attract backlinks. Domain authority remains a major signal for Google and a citation factor in AI. Result: positions that hold over time, without ever putting your domain name at risk.
- A reputation in netlinking built over more than 10 years, which opens the doors to a vast network of bloggers and influential site owners.
- The method includes competitive analysis: scanning the links pointing to your competitors’ sites and measuring their impact on positioning to guide your strategy.
- The recovery of broken links is part of the method: identifying 404 errors on third-party sites and offering a replacement link to your site.
- At MLBW, we select the best links tailored for each client, choosing links that remain active for over 12 months.
GEO and optimization for LLMs
We structure your content so that it is cited by AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude, in addition to your classic organic SEO. Where most agencies are content to just talk about it, we have been auditing, measuring, and optimizing it for over a year in the Quebec market.
Result: you are visible where a growing portion of your customers now get their answers, before your competitors.
- A method structured around five pillars: technical readability, fragment structure, semantic markup, direct response, and brand authority.
- The GEO audit tests your brand’s presence using 20 to 30 key prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and AI Overviews, measuring the frequency of citation, sentiment, and accuracy of the information provided.
- Our content formats are based on the latest data on AI/LLM search engine optimization: lists and comparison tables account for 25 to 32% of all AI citations.
Get a clear quote and a tailored analysis
Monthly SEO support in Montreal generally starts between ,000 and ,000 per month for an SME, and can reach $5,000 and more for a complex e-commerce or multi-site project. Rather than a generic quote, we provide you with a free mini-analysis of your site: your top 3 technical barriers, your content gaps compared to your direct competitors, and the realistic potential of your priority keywords. You leave with a precise price range and an honest opinion, even if we don’t become your agency.
What is your SEO need?
Each business profile requires a different SEO strategy. Identify yours to see how we work with businesses like yours.
I am a local SME in Quebec
This is the core of our clientele and the default profile for this page. Your challenge: appear in the Local Pack and on “near me” queries before your neighborhood competitors, then convert this visibility into calls and visits. The winning combination is almost always the same: Local SEO and Google Business Profile first, geolocalized content next, local netlinking in support. Everything you read on this page applies directly to you.
I manage an online store / e-commerce site
E-commerce SEO has its own rules: category architecture, product sheets, structured data for products, linking between collections, and managing stockouts. We have a team and a page dedicated to this profile, with concrete cases of Quebec boutiques. Check out our e-commerce SEO agency page for strategies specific to online stores.
My company targets Canada or international SEO
We also support SMEs in all provinces of Canada and abroad (USA, France…) We remind you that our team is bilingual and understands the Canadian market, which consists of two languages and multiple targets.
If your wish is to work on a version of the site in a foreign language, SEO is perfectly suited to capture the keyword strategies for your business.
Our 3-phase SEO strategy for effective SEO actions
Our support is anchored around three distinct phases. You always know where we are, what we are doing, and why.
SEO Diagnosis and Foundations (weeks 1 to 4)
A complete technical and semantic audit, competitive analysis, selection of priority keywords via the Search Console, and quick high-impact corrections from the first month. A solid technical foundation is essential to perform well with SEO and to deploy a growth strategy.
You receive a prioritized roadmap ready to use.
- 40% of our clients leave with structural technical fixes to deploy on their website. Our development teams can support you 100% in implementing these actions.
- 20% of the issues concern sites that exist in multiple language versions.
- 50% of the sites have their menu redesigned to better highlight the strategic pages.
- The majority of performance losses are explained by irregular monitoring, which we help you correct throughout the support.
Deployment of Semantics (months 2 to 6)
An on-page optimization of strategic URLs, production of E-E-A-T content, structuring of the semantic cocoon, optimization of the Google Business Profile listing.
- 98% of our clients discover unexplored semantic themes on their website.
- We support our clients with genuine pedagogical work: you learn throughout the mandate.
- SEO takes time: don’t expect results from the first published content. Each article gradually strengthens your strategic pages, and the effects accumulate over several months.
- This is the most flexible phase of the support: it evolves according to your needs and priorities.
Monitoring Results and Authority Work (Netlinking) (month 4 and beyond)
Once technical and semantic maturity is achieved, it becomes relevant to work on your site’s authority through the acquisition of quality links.
- A netlinking audit analyzes your existing link profile and that of your competitors to identify the authority gap to be filled and to define a realistic campaign.
- Each referring domain is selected according to strict criteria: thematic relevance to your sector, actual site authority, verified organic traffic, and absence of toxic signals. We prioritize quality over quantity.
- The acquired links point to your strategic pages, in line with the semantic cocoon built in phase 2: each link serves a specific positioning objective.
- Link building also enhances your visibility in AI response engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews): Recent studies confirm that generative engines favor sources cited on authoritative sites.
Traditional SEO or GEO: How to Choose Your SEO Strategy?
You don’t have to choose between SEO and GEO: the two disciplines reinforce each other. SEO drives high-volume traffic, while GEO drives high-value traffic (visitors pre-qualified by AI). Here are the key differences to help you understand where to focus your SEO efforts based on your goals.
| Criterion | Traditional SEO | GEO (AI-powered SEO) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Target | Google, Bing (traditional organic results) | AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude |
| Objective | Appear in the top 10 results | Be cited as a source in the generated responses |
| Type of traffic generated | High volume, quality varies depending on the query | Moderate volume, but pre-qualified visitors who are more likely to convert |
| Key Drivers | Technical SEO, on-page SEO, backlinks, domain authority | Response structure, JSON-LD, source data, cross-platform E-E-A-T signals |
| Monitoring Indicators | Positions, clicks, impressions, CTR (Search Console) | Citations in AI, ChatGPT/Perplexity referral traffic, brand search |
| Time it takes to see the results | Generally 3 to 6 months | 1 to 3 months for the first AI citations |
| Do we need both? | It’s essential—it’s the technical foundation | Essential in 2026 if your queries are informational |
Vision & Values
« SEO is undergoing a major transformation. Google remains essential, but the way people search, discover, and choose a business is multiplying with the arrival of AI and new platforms. Being well-positioned today is no longer just being first on Google: it’s being visible everyplace your customers are looking for answers.»

Frequently Asked Questions about Our Web SEO Agency in Montreal
What is the rate of an SEO agency in Montreal ?
A monthly SEO support in Montreal generally starts between $1000 and $2000 per month for an SME, and can reach $5,000 and more for a complex e-commerce or multi-site project. The rate depends on the number of pages to optimize, the level of competition for your keywords, and the amount of content writing included. My Little Big Web publishes its price ranges and offers packages without long-term commitment. For precise framing, consult our guide on the budget to invest in your SEO.
What is the SEO methodology of the My Little Big Web agency ?
Our methodology follows three phases: diagnosis and foundations (technical and semantic audit, priority keywords, quick fixes), deployment (E-E-A-T content, on-page, semantic cocoon, Google Business Profile, netlinking), and then amplification and AI visibility (GEO optimization, measurement of citations in AI engines). Each month, you receive a clear report that links the actions taken to the results measured in the Search Console.
How long does SEO take ?
The first measurable signals (impressions, positions on long-tail keywords) generally appear between 6 and 12 weeks. Significant commercial results (qualified traffic, quote requests, sales) typically arrive between 4 and 6 months. For highly competitive markets like real estate or financial services in Montreal, expect 6 to 9 months. The effects accumulate: a client supported for 24 months generates on average 5 times more organic traffic than at the start.
Should there be a monthly or weekly SEO report ?
A monthly report is the right pace for the majority of SMEs: Google’s algorithms and content production evolve over cycles of several weeks, and weekly monitoring leads to overreacting to statistical noise. Weekly monitoring is justified during a migration, a redesign, or for a high-volume e-commerce. At My Little Big Web, you receive a commented monthly report and retain permanent access to your Search Console and Analytics data: your accounts belong to you.
Which regions and provinces does the SEO agency My Little Big Web serve ?
Our SEO agency is based in Montreal and supports businesses throughout Quebec: Laval, Longueuil, the South Shore, the North Shore, Quebec City, and the regions. We also work with SMEs in Ontario, the Maritimes, and British Columbia, as well as with French and American companies. Our services are offered in French and English, with strategies tailored to the targeted market.
How to choose an SEO agency ?
Check four criteria: the agency’s experience and local presence, verifiable customer reviews (Google, Consumer Choice Award), concrete and quantified case studies, and the quality of contact during the first meeting. Beware of guaranties for the top position (no one controls Google), abnormally low prices, and agencies that refuse to give you access to your own accounts. A reputable agency explains to you what they do, why, and what the benefits are.
