Internet Marketing Service in Collingwood
Georgian Bay SEO is an internet marketing service for trades and service businesses in Collingwood and along the south Georgian Bay shoreline. One operator, the Google side of marketing only: local SEO, the Google Business Profile, reviews, Google Ads, and the pages that turn a search into a call.
"Internet marketing service" is the name Google gives the category. What it means for a Collingwood plumber or a Thornbury landscaper is narrower: when someone nearby searches for what you do, your business shows up in the map, looks like the obvious choice, and the call gets answered. Everything on this page serves that one outcome. If a service does not end in a booked job for a local operator, we do not sell it.
What the service includes
Six lines of work. Each one has its own page with the detail and the price. Together they are what a local marketing department would run if your business had one.
Local SEO
The Map Pack and the organic results under it for the searches that end in a booked job: 'plumber collingwood', 'furnace repair blue mountain', 'landscaper wasaga beach'. Profile, citations, location pages, schema, and the internal links that tie them together.
local SEO in Collingwood →Google Business Profile management
Categories, services, photos, posts, and review replies kept current every month, with the services list matched to your website so every Maps click lands on a page that answers it.
Google Business Profile management →Google review management
A text after every finished job with a one-tap review link, new reviews watched, replies written. Review count and recency are the prominence signal Google weighs after proximity.
Google review management →Google Ads management
Conversion tracking that fires, service-area targeting, negative keywords, and reporting in booked jobs rather than clicks. A one-time rescue for a leaking account, or monthly management.
Google Ads management →AI search visibility
Who ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI name when someone asks for your trade in your town, with screenshots, then the pages, schema, and citations that put your business in the answer.
AI search visibility →Missed-call text-back and estimate follow-up
Internet marketing stops at the phone if nobody answers it. A missed call gets a text in seconds; an unanswered quote gets a follow-up at one, three, and seven days.
missed call text back service →How an engagement runs
- Audit first. Your profile, your site, and the three businesses above you in the map, with findings in writing whether you hire us or not. The free local SEO audit is the short version; the $499 audit is the full one.
- Fix the profile and the pages. Categories, services, photos, and hours on the Google Business Profile. Titles, headings, schema, and internal links on the site. The services list on the profile and the service pages on the site become one list.
- Build the proof. Review requests after every job, citations that agree on your name, address, and phone, and local links from the Georgian Bay web rather than directories.
- Report what moved. One monthly report: rankings by town, calls, website leads, reviews, and what changes next month. Month to month, no annual contract.
Who it is for
Owner-run service businesses in Collingwood, The Blue Mountains, Wasaga Beach, Thornbury, Meaford, Creemore, and Clearview, plus Barrie and Guelph remotely. Trades first: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, general contracting, landscaping, cleaning. Also local professional services such as bookkeeping and law, and shops such as laundromats and phone repair. The results page shows the businesses we have done this for, with the numbers.
Not a fit: national e-commerce, brands that want campaigns rather than calls, and anyone who needs social media management or print. We will say so on the first call.
Where we work
Frequently asked questions
What does an internet marketing service in Collingwood actually do?
It gets a local business found and chosen online. For a Collingwood trade that means the Google Map Pack first, then the organic results under it, then the reviews and the website that turn the click into a call. We do the Google side of that: local SEO, the Google Business Profile, reviews, Google Ads, and the pages the search lands on. We do not do print, radio, or brand campaigns.
Is Georgian Bay SEO an agency or one person?
One operator, Lasse Pettersen, with tools built in-house. You talk to the person doing the work. The scope is the same as an agency's local marketing department: profile management, citations, location pages, schema, link building, review requests, and reporting.
How is this different from the local SEO page?
The local SEO page is the playbook: how Map Pack ranking works for Collingwood trades and what to do in what order. This page is the service list: everything we run for a client under the one roof Google calls an internet marketing service. Same business, two questions.
Do you only work with trades?
Trades and service businesses are the core: plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, contractors, landscapers, cleaners. We also work with professional services that sell locally, such as bookkeepers and law firms, and with laundromats and repair shops. If a search in your town should end in a booked job, it fits.
What does it cost?
Retainers start at $949 a month for one town and run month to month. A one-time audit is $499. Review management is $149 a month, missed-call text-back is $99 a month, and Google Ads management is $949 a month or a $949 one-time account rescue. The pricing page has every line.
Where do you work from?
Collingwood, and face to face along the south Georgian Bay shoreline: The Blue Mountains, Wasaga Beach, Thornbury, Meaford, Creemore, and Clearview. Barrie and Guelph clients are run remotely with the same monthly reporting.
Every line above has a price on the pricing page. Start with the audit; it tells you which of the six you need and which you do not.
