Why small business SEO often fails
Plenty of Canadian owners have paid for SEO and seen nothing. Usually it was generic blog posts, low-quality directory links or reports full of rankings that never brought a customer. The searches that pay a small business are short and specific: "furnace repair Calgary", "physio near me", "accountant for contractors Ottawa".
