Project Overview

Garage Door Vancity is a local garage door repair and installation company serving Metro Vancouver, BC, including Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, and North and West Vancouver. Starting from almost zero inbound calls, the business needed local SEO to get found by nearby homeowners searching for garage door repairs and turn those searches into booked jobs.

The Starting Point

The business was starting from almost nothing in a market its competitors already owned. Three things were in the way.

  • Starting From Almost Zero

    Only 16 calls came in during the first tracked month, in a competitive Metro Vancouver market where established garage door companies already dominated local search results.

  • Buried Behind the Competition

    Established garage door companies with years of reviews and citations already owned page one, leaving little visible space for a newer local business to break through.

  • Invisible in Local Search

    Homeowners across Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and Coquitlam were searching for garage door repair and spring replacement every day, but Garage Door Vancity was nowhere to be found on the results pages that mattered.

Our Process

NINE MONTHS
OF LOCAL SEO,
STEP BY STEP

Nine months of local SEO, run in four phases.

  1. Local SEO Foundation

    Weeks 1-4

    Optimized the Google Business Profile, fixed NAP consistency across directories, and built out service-area pages for each Metro Vancouver neighborhood the business actually covers.

  2. Content & Review Building

    Months 2-4

    Published service pages for repairs, spring replacement, and installations, and launched a review-generation process so every completed job added fresh, local social proof.

  3. Ranking Expansion

    Months 4-6

    Expanded into more service-area and service-type pages, added FAQ and schema markup, and built local citations to push rankings across the wider Metro Vancouver market.

  4. Scaling & Call Tracking

    Months 6-9

    Monitored call volume and rankings monthly, doubled down on the pages and neighborhoods driving the most inbound calls, and kept building citations and content to sustain the climb.
