SEO is simple to promise and hard to prove. We built our whole agency around the proving part: a full technical audit first, a prioritized fix list with every change tracked from “applied” to “ranked,” and a monthly report written in plain English. Phone calls, leads and direction requests, not jargon. We hold ourselves to the same standard: we publish the audit of our own website, score and all.
We only run SEO on websites we built ourselves, and we take a limited number of clients. If we did not build your site, the door in is a website build. That is not upselling; it is quality control. We guarantee our work, so we control the foundation.
SEO compounds; it does not spike. Most businesses see leading indicators (impressions, local visibility, first ranking movement) inside 90 days, meaningful non-branded traffic around six months, and clear return in six to twelve. Anyone promising number one on Google in 30 days is selling you something else. What we promise instead: every dollar maps to logged work, every recommendation gets tracked to its outcome, and you can leave monthly. Retention is our job, not your contract’s.
Setup sprint: full published baseline audit, Google Business Profile built right, Search Console, analytics and call tracking wired, local pages launched, AI-visibility baseline measured. Monthly: the full deliverables ledger above. Month to month. Capped at five active clients, by application. Only on sites we built: the build comes first, the program is the follow-through. Quoted in full before we start.
A legitimate SEO retainer for a Toronto small business should come with receipts: a baseline technical audit, a fix list tracked from applied to ranked, Google Business Profile and review management for local visibility, and a monthly report measured in phone calls and leads rather than impressions. SEO results compound on a known curve, with leading indicators within about 90 days and non-branded traffic growth near six months. Any guarantee of overnight rankings is a red flag. ToAi Media runs SEO for Toronto and GTA businesses on exactly this model, only on websites it builds itself, and publishes the audit of its own website as the standard clients should hold it to.
Leading indicators in about 90 days; non-branded traffic growth around six months; return typically six to twelve. We show you the curve monthly so you are never guessing.
Because we stand behind the work end to end. When we control the codebase, every fix ships in days and nothing is blocked by someone else's page builder. We report outcomes honestly and we do not sell guarantees.
No. Nobody controls Google. We guarantee logged work, tracked outcomes and honest reporting. Our case studies and our own published audit are the evidence we stand on.
One page: calls, leads, ranking movement, and the work ledger. What we said we would do versus what we did. Plain English, five-minute read.
Yes. AI share-of-voice tracking is built in, and the deeper practice has its own page: AEO for Toronto businesses.
