THE SEARCH STRATEGYCONCEPTUAL MODEL

Search visibility is one part of the journey. The illustration shows a planning model, not ranking or performance data.

STRATEGY / TECHNICAL SEO / CONTENTExplore the work

A connected search strategy

Start with the customer.
Then find the friction.

We look at how people search, what your site currently helps them do, and where the experience breaks down. The work can begin with a focused issue or a broader plan; priorities depend on your site, market, and available evidence.

01 / TECHNICAL DIAGNOSTIC

Can people and search systems reach the important parts?

We inspect a sample and scope appropriate to your site, then separate access and indexing questions from content and conversion questions.

The work, shaped around your site

Build the foundations.
Make every page count.

SEO is not a checklist of disconnected fixes. We recommend the pieces that support your goals and explain what each one is intended to improve.

Technical SEO

Find and prioritize barriers in crawling, rendering, indexation, site structure, redirects, and mobile usability. Recommendations can be implemented with your team or scoped for support.

Technical review and issue priorities
URL and internal-link structure
Migration and release considerations

Search and content strategy

Understand the questions and decisions your audience brings to search, then plan pages that serve those needs with useful, accurate information.

Search intent and topic research
Page mapping and content gaps
Briefs, updates, and editorial planning

Local and service-area SEO

Help nearby customers understand what you offer, where you work, and how to contact you. We can review location pages and business information for clarity and consistency.

Service-area page recommendations
Local presence and profile review
Clear service and contact details

Measurement and iteration

Set a practical baseline, track relevant changes, and review what the evidence suggests. Reporting should help decide what to do next, with limits stated plainly.

Search Console and analytics review
Page and enquiry measurement plan
Regular priorities and progress review

A working editorial roadmap

Make the next useful improvement clear.

Content planning starts with the page’s job and the evidence behind it. We preserve material that is already useful, fill real gaps, and give each recommended change a reason and a way to review it.

Explore content planning

Keep

Protect what already helps

Retain useful answers, examples, links, and page functions; note the baseline before changing them.

PRESERVE

Improve

Make an important page clearer

Update out-of-date details, explain the offer, and make the next step easier to understand and use.

REFINE

Combine

Resolve overlap with care

Where pages serve the same need, review their purpose and evidence before deciding what to consolidate.

CONSOLIDATE

Create

Fill a genuine customer gap

Develop a new page when it serves a distinct need your current site does not answer well.

ADD

A straightforward process

Agree on the question.
Keep learning from the work.

The engagement is shaped to fit the size of the problem, the available data, and who will implement the recommendations.

01
Understand the business
Talk through your services, customers, service area, current site, and what a qualified enquiry means to you.
02
Review the evidence
Examine the relevant site pages and available search or analytics data. Record known limits and open questions.
03
Prioritize and deliver
Set out the recommended work, why it matters, who can do it, and how to check that the change is complete.
04
Measure and adjust
Review changes over an appropriate period, account for context, and update the plan as the evidence develops.

Measurement that supports decisions

Watch the signal.
Check the context.

We can review search visibility, important landing pages, and enquiry activity where suitable tracking is in place. Numbers need context: seasonality, tracking changes, market shifts, and work happening on the site can all affect comparisons.

We explain what changed and what remains uncertain. Rankings and AI citations are controlled by search platforms, so no provider can guarantee a position or a mention.

Good questions to ask

SEO, without
the mystery.

Want to talk through your situation? Tell us what you’re working on.

What does an SEO engagement include?

It depends on the goals and starting point. Work can include a technical review, search and content planning, page recommendations, local SEO considerations, implementation support, and measurement. We agree on scope after understanding your site and needs.

How long does SEO take to show a change?

There is no reliable universal timeline. A technical correction, a new page, and a competitive market can behave differently. We set a baseline, track changes over an appropriate period, and explain factors that make a result hard to attribute.

Can you guarantee first-page rankings or AI citations?

No. Search platforms decide what to show, and visibility can change. We focus on sound technical access, useful and accurate content, and a clear site experience. AEO is an emerging label for overlapping discoverability practices, not a guaranteed placement service.

Do you work with businesses outside Vancouver?

Yes. Quake Media is based in Vancouver and works with businesses across Canada. We can discuss the places your business serves and shape the search work around that geography.

What does SEO cost?

Cost depends on the scope, site complexity, competition, and how much implementation support you need. Share your priorities and current site with us, and we can discuss a suitable scope and quote.

Can my team implement the recommendations?

Yes. Recommendations can be prepared for your internal team, with implementation support discussed where useful. We can also coordinate with your web partner when changes touch development or a migration.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A PARTNER

SEO services, shaped around the question you need to answer.

What should a technical SEO engagement include?

Start with crawl access, indexing, canonical URLs, redirects, internal links and the pages customers actually need. The deliverable should explain each finding, the proposed correction, who will implement it and how the change will be checked. A list of warnings is not an implementation plan.

Explore the technical SEO checklist

Do you need local SEO or a Canada-wide search strategy?

The market follows where you genuinely serve customers. A location-dependent business needs accurate local information and useful service-area content. A business serving customers across Canada needs pages that explain its offer beyond one city. We use that distinction to scope the content and technical work, rather than duplicating pages for every place name.

Do you offer answer engine optimization in Vancouver?

Our Vancouver-based team can scope answer engine optimization within SEO work for businesses across Canada. That means crawlable HTML, clear answers to customer questions, accurate business information and structured data matching visible content. We review the important service pages and how customers reach them. Google’s AI search features use the same SEO foundations; there is no special AEO schema or guaranteed citation.

Understand AEO and its limits

What makes SEO services affordable for your business?

A focused scope should fit both your budget and the work your website needs. Start with the highest-priority technical issues and service pages, identify who implements the changes, and agree how progress will be reviewed. Our pricing guide shows estimated Canadian agency budgets of $1,500–$4,000 per month for ongoing SEO; a Quake quote depends on the agreed scope. Compare deliverables and responsibilities, not just the monthly fee.

What should restaurant SEO services focus on?

Help diners find accurate menus, opening hours, locations and clear booking or ordering links. A restaurant SEO scope can review crawlable menu content, mobile usability, each genuine location page and Business Profile consistency. Measure useful actions such as reservations, calls and orders alongside search visibility.
