What is Local SEO?
Local SEO improves your visibility when people search for your services in Montreal, especially on Google Maps and in the Local Pack.
It differs from traditional SEO because local rankings rely heavily on accurate business information, proximity signals, reviews, citations, and strong on-page relevance.
Montreal is competitive and bilingual. Many businesses benefit from English and French keyword coverage, plus neighborhood intent where it makes sense, for example Plateau Mont-Royal, Mile End, and Westmount.
