Kingston SEO: fixed-price local SEO for small businesses
You need the people already looking for what you sell to find you first. Three sizes, one price each, and everything you get is yours to keep.

What this is
I help small businesses in and around Kingston show up when someone nearby searches for what they do. That's the whole job. A plumber in Kingscourt, a dentist off Princess Street, a shop in the limestone blocks downtown: when a customer pulls out a phone and types four words, you want to be one of the results they actually see.
Most of the work is less exotic than it sounds. Your Google Business Profile is the modern version of the hours sign taped inside your front door. When that sign says one thing and reality says another, people show up at the wrong time and quietly decide you're unreliable. A lot of local SEO is walking the block, checking every sign anyone can see, and fixing the ones that are wrong.
Three ways to do this
Pick the size that matches what's actually broken. All prices are in Canadian dollars. All three are one price, paid once, and if your situation needs more than a tier covers, you hear the number before anything starts.
Good
$1,000
- Claim and verify your Google Business Profile
- Fix your name, address, phone and hours everywhere they're wrong
- Merge duplicate listings into one clean profile
- Correct your category and service area
- Answer the review backlog with you
- Regular updates while the work is underway, so you always know where things stand
- A one-page report: what was broken, what changed, what to watch yourself
Better
$2,000
- Everything in Good
- Citations built and corrected across the directories that actually carry weight
- Photos organized and uploaded properly, instead of whatever got pulled in automatically
- A review-request system that's yours to keep: a link, a QR code, a script that sounds like a real conversation
- Service-area pages checked against what people actually type into their phone
- Weekly check-ins while the work is underway, so we can steer together as we go
- A 90-day follow-up look, included
Best
$3,500
- Everything in Better
- One or two new pages, written for your top services, built straight into your own site, yours to keep
- Local schema done properly, on the site itself, so the technical side matches what customers see
- An honest look at who's actually beating you in the results, and why
- Weekly check-ins for as long as the project runs, so we can steer together toward what's working
- A 6-month check-in, included
- First call if you ever want the site itself rebuilt, same person, already up to speed on your business
If Good turns out to be the right first step, whatever you paid counts toward Better or Best within the next year. It's a top-up, building on the work already done.
Every size above is one payment, not a monthly retainer. If spreading the cost works better for your business, financing is available at 0% interest over 24 months for qualified clients: just ask when we talk.
You own the Google Business Profile login. You own the pages. You own the content. All of it stays yours and keeps working, on its own, long after the job is finished.
Start with the size that's right today, and grow into the next one whenever the business is ready for it.
You get a report you can actually read: what I did, what changed, and what's next. A report that needs me on the phone to explain it is a report I wrote badly.
I'll tell you plainly when the size you already have is enough. Some businesses need the full build. Some do well with the cleanup and a nudge every spring. I'd rather say that out loud than sell you the big one.
Who I am
I'm Christopher Ross. I've been building for the web since 1996, and these days the focus is helping small businesses market themselves online. I also run thisismyurl.com, where I do higher-end work for larger organizations, universities and government teams among them. A bakery's Google listing matters to that bakery exactly as much as a university's search visibility matters to the university, so Kingston SEO exists as its own practice, built specifically for local businesses, in three real sizes from $1,000.
I work from the Niagara region, at the other end of Lake Ontario, the same lake I sail every summer, up through the Thousand Islands, Kingston included. That's a real connection to this stretch of water, not just a sales pitch. More on how Kingston's search patterns work. If you are stuck on whether you need SEO cleanup or a new site, I also run Kingston Web Design, a sister site for the site-building side.
What people say
Chris has been instrumental for my team and I to help develop good SEO strategies and finding issues that we would never found before! Highly recommended!
Kingston's three seasons of search
Kingston does not run on one customer year. Students arrive in September and leave in April. Visitors fill the waterfront in summer. Underneath both sits the year-round base: hospitals, government, trades, and residents who need a mechanic in February the same as in July. Most national SEO advice pretends that calendar never moves. Local work here starts by naming which of those three groups pays your bills, then making the Google listing and the site tell the same honest story in both July and September. The Kingston page and the guide on what a Kingston shop's listing should say in September vs July go through that in detail.
A five-minute check of your Google listing
Tick what is true today. It shows what is still open, and none of it is stored.
Check that your listing is claimed, that there is one of it, that your details match your website, that your category and hours are right, and that reviews are answered.
Common questions
Do I have to sign a contract or pay monthly?
No. Each size is one price, paid once. If you want more done later, that's a separate decision, not an automatic renewal.
What if I'm not sure which size I need?
Call or email and describe your situation. I'll tell you honestly which size fits, and if Good turns out to be enough, you're not out anything by starting there.
Do you work with businesses outside Kingston itself?
Yes, Amherstview, Gananoque, Napanee, Brockville and Belleville are all covered too, each with its own local wrinkles. See the full list of areas I cover.
What happens if I'm not happy with the results?
Tell me. Most fixes here are the kind that either works, the phone rings, or it's obviously wrong and gets corrected. I'd rather hear about a problem than have you quietly go elsewhere.
Start with a phone call
Call 613.480.1345, or email hello@kingstonseo.com. Tell me what you sell and who you want walking through the door, and within one business day you'll hear back from me directly with which of the three sizes fits, in writing. If I'm the wrong fit for what you need, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.
