Hamilton, Ontario

Websites, SEO and ads for Hamilton businesses, from someone who lives here.

I grew up in Hamilton, got featured in the Spectator as a kid, and helped take a Hamilton tire shop from empty to a $1.45M sale. If your customers are on the Mountain, downtown, in Ancaster or Stoney Creek, I know how they search.

Home turf

Hamilton is where I test everything first. The tire shop on the Mountain was my first local campaign, and the lessons from it, especially around Google Business Profile and radius targeting, are what I bring to every Hamilton client. I know which neighbourhoods search for what, and which competitors you are actually up against.

In person when it helps

Being local means I can come to you: a walk through the shop to take photos for the Google profile, a sit-down with the front desk to see where enquiries get lost, a coffee to plan the season. The first conversation is a 20-minute call, and the ongoing work is a text away.

Working with me in Hamilton

Do you meet clients in Hamilton in person?

Yes. I am based in Hamilton and happy to meet at your shop, office or a coffee place in between, by arrangement. Most ongoing work happens over text, email and short calls.

Which parts of Hamilton do you serve?

All of them: downtown, the Mountain, the east end, Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Waterdown, Binbrook and Flamborough. City pages and radius targeting can be set up for each.

Is there an office I can visit?

No. I work from home in Hamilton and meet clients where they are. That keeps costs down and means the money goes into the work, not a lobby.
