Stop paying for clicks from people who will never hire you.

Open your Google Ads search terms report. You will find money spent on searches with the words free, jobs, DIY, how to, and cities you do not serve.

Add them as negative keywords. Ten minutes, once a month.

It is the fastest way to cut wasted spend and most accounts have never done it.

One page per service. Not one Services page.

A bullet list of everything you do ranks for nothing. Google matches searches to pages, so "drain cleaning Surrey" wants a page about drain cleaning.

Each page: what it is, who it is for, rough cost, photos, the questions people ask.

Five to ten pages for most businesses. That is the change that turns a brochure into a lead source.

Save this for your next website conversation.

Three seconds. That is how long your website has.

Open it on your phone, on data. Count. If nothing useful shows up by three, the person who searched for you is already tapping the next result.

Usual culprits: giant photos, a slider, plugins nobody uses.

Test it free at pagespeed.web.dev and fix the biggest red item first.

How does ChatGPT decide which business to recommend?

It looks for a business it can describe in one sentence and back up with evidence.

• A page per service, titled plainly
• One true, specific result on that page
• Same name, address and category everywhere
• AI crawlers not blocked
• A mention on a directory or best-of list

Vague sites lose. Specific ones get recommended.

Save this. It is the new local SEO.

Ask for the review when they are happiest.

Not a week later. The moment the job is done and the customer is smiling at the result. Send the link that evening.

Then reply to every review within a day and name the service and the city. Reviews that mention what you did and where you did it are the ones that rank.

Follow for one fix a week that makes the phone ring.

Your Google profile is your real homepage.

Most people who find you on Google never click through to your site. They look at your photos, read two reviews, check your hours, and call. Or they don't.

The fix takes an hour a month:
• 10 real photos, not stock
• Every service listed
• One post a week

Do that and you are ahead of most businesses in Metro Vancouver.

Save this for your next slow afternoon.

Hiring a marketing agency? Ask these 5 questions and watch them squirm.

How many calls did your last client get this month. Who owns my website if we part ways. What happens in the first 30 days. Show me a report a client understands. What happens if it doesn't work.

We answer all five happily on a free strategy call: vanguardmedia.ca/free-teardown

Save this for the next sales pitch you sit through, whoever it's from.

Every one is built on the same system: fast pages, local SEO, an active Google Business Profile, and tracking on every single call. No templates, no shortcuts, no 12-month mystery contracts.

Want to see what the same system looks like on your business? Comment AUDIT for a free 10-minute teardown video.

When a homeowner searches "contractor near me", Google shows three businesses on the map. That's the whole game for local.

If you're not one of the three, that job went to someone else today. Probably more than once.

The map pack is a checklist, not a lottery. Follow and I'll keep handing you the checklist one piece at a time.

Most contractor websites are brochures. Pretty pictures, an About page, and a phone that never rings.

Here's the 4-point anatomy of a lead machine: loads in under 2 seconds, call button under the thumb, one page per service and per city, reviews on the page with every call tracked.

Missing 3 or more? That's fixable. Free teardown: vanguardmedia.ca/free-teardown
