Common Questions About Local SEO

How long until we see results?

Most childcare centers see improvements in their local visibility within 4-6 weeks. You’ll start seeing more Google Business Profile views, better local rankings, and increased parent inquiries. Full results typically develop over 3-4 months as we build your local presence.

What makes childcare SEO different from regular SEO?

Parents searching for childcare use very specific local terms like “daycare near Kitsilano” and rely heavily on reviews and location. They also tend to search during specific times and make decisions based on proximity to home or work. Our strategies are built around these unique search patterns.

How do you measure success?

We track several key metrics:

  • Your position in local search results
  • Number of Google Business Profile views
  • Website visits from local searches
  • Parent inquiry forms submitted
  • Phone calls from Google listings
  • Direction requests to your center

Do we need to create new content?

While we handle most of the content creation, we’ll occasionally ask for photos of your center and updates about special programs or events. This helps keep your online presence fresh and engaging for parents.

What happens if we have multiple locations?

We create unique optimization strategies for each location while maintaining consistent branding. Each center gets its own Google Business Profile and local citation network, helping you dominate local search results in multiple areas.

What areas do you serve?

We help childcare centers across Canada improve their local search presence, with particular expertise in major metropolitan areas.
