Edmonton SEO Agency
SEO Services Edmonton
01 — The Approach
Most Edmonton SEO agencies sell you a $1,500/month retainer on top of a website someone else built. We build SEO into the website itself — from $499. Ongoing management starts at $300/month. No contracts, no retainers, no surprise invoices.
02 — Why It Works
SEO That's Built In, Not Bolted On
Most Edmonton SEO companies inherit broken sites and patch them after the fact. That's expensive and slow. We design websites with SEO built into the architecture — clean code, schema markup, fast load times, mobile-first design, and content structured for both Google and AI assistants. A $499 site we build is more SEO-ready on day one than most $5,000 sites handed to an SEO agency after launch.
03 — What We Handle
Edmonton SEO Services — Full Stack
Technical SEO
Site speed, crawlability, mobile-first indexing, structured data markup, XML sitemaps, robots.txt, canonical tags, and Core Web Vitals — the infrastructure Google uses to understand your site.
On-Page SEO
Keyword research, title tags, meta descriptions, header hierarchy, internal linking, image optimization, and content structure — making every page rank for the right Edmonton search queries.
Local SEO
Google Business Profile optimization, NAP citation consistency across 30+ Canadian directories, Edmonton neighbourhood pages, local Schema.org markup with geo coordinates, and review management.
Off-Page SEO
Local backlink building through Edmonton business directories, industry partnerships, content marketing, and digital PR. No PBN spam — only real links from real sites.
AEO / AI Search
Answer Engine Optimization for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Structured data, llms.txt, FAQ schema, and content formatted for AI citation. Most Edmonton SEO companies skip this entirely.
Monthly Reporting
Plain-language reports — keyword positions, traffic changes, technical health, and what we did that month. No dashboards full of vanity metrics. Just the numbers that matter to your business.
04 — Pricing
Edmonton SEO Pricing — Transparent
Foundations — From $499
Every website we ship includes on-page SEO setup: title tags, meta descriptions, semantic HTML, mobile optimization, fast load times, structured data, llms.txt, internal linking. AEO included by default. No extra charge.
Ongoing SEO — From $300/mo
For sites we built. Monthly on-page optimization, keyword tracking, technical monitoring, content recommendations, local SEO upkeep, Google Business Profile management, and a plain-language monthly report.
AEO Audit — $499
Have an existing site? We score it against 25 AEO criteria and deliver a prioritized fix list. Standalone audit, no rebuild required. Works with any website, not just ours.
Compare that to the typical Edmonton SEO retainer: $1,200–$2,500/month, locked into a 6–12 month contract, on a site they didn't build and can't fully control. Our ongoing management is $300/month because we built the foundation — we know the codebase, the schema, and exactly what to tune. See ongoing SEO service details.
05 — Local SEO Edmonton
Edmonton Local SEO — What Actually Matters
Local SEO in Edmonton has four layers: technical (does Google understand your site?), on-page (does each page target the right keywords?), off-page (do credible sites link to you?), and local (do Edmonton-specific signals confirm your location?).
The local layer is where most Edmonton SEO agencies and SEO consultants fall short. It requires an optimized Google Business Profile, citation consistency across 30+ Canadian directories, neighbourhood-specific content for Whyte Ave, downtown, west end, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Leduc, and Fort Saskatchewan, Schema.org LocalBusiness markup with proper geo coordinates, and local backlinks from Edmonton publications and partners.

We handle all four layers. Every site we build ships with local SEO foundations in place — not as a $500/month add-on, but as part of the build. Ongoing local SEO management (GBP posts, citation updates, review responses, local content) starts at $300/month. See also: 30+ Canadian NAP citation directories.
06 — SEO + AEO
Beyond Traditional SEO — AEO for AI Search
In 2026, SEO alone isn't enough. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews answer questions directly — and they cite websites that are structured for them. That's AEO: Answer Engine Optimization.
Every website we build includes AEO by default: structured data on every relevant page, an llms.txt file that tells AI crawlers what your business does, FAQ schema that feeds AI Overviews, and content blocks formatted for direct citation. Most Edmonton SEO companies don't address this at all. Learn more about AEO.
Already have a website? Our $499 AEO Audit scores your existing site against 25 criteria and hands you a prioritized fix list — no rebuild required.

Edmonton SEO — Common Questions
-
How much does SEO cost in Edmonton?
Most Edmonton SEO agencies charge $1,200–$2,500/month on a long retainer. OnePoint builds SEO into every website starting at $499 — no separate package. Ongoing SEO management starts at $300/month for our web clients. That's about one-fifth the industry standard.
-
Do I need monthly SEO retainers?
Not necessarily. If your site is new and properly built, the foundation does most of the work in the first 6 months. Ongoing management is valuable when you're competing for moving keywords or want consistent content. We charge $300/month — much less than the $1,200–$2,500 industry norm.
-
What does Edmonton local SEO involve?
An optimized Google Business Profile, citation consistency across local directories (Yelp, BBB, Yellow Pages, Edmonton Chamber), neighbourhood-specific content for Whyte Ave, downtown, west end, Sherwood Park, and St. Albert, Schema.org LocalBusiness markup with geo coordinates, and local backlinks from Edmonton publications.
-
How long does SEO take to show results in Edmonton?
Most clients see measurable improvement within 3–6 months. Edmonton's market is competitive but not impossible — entrenched agencies have years of backlinks but often stale content. New, well-built sites with strong foundations can outrank older ones within a year.
-
Why pick OnePoint over a traditional Edmonton SEO company?
Published transparent pricing (no quotes hidden behind sales calls), SEO and AEO built into the foundation rather than sold separately, and one team handling website + SEO + AEO + signage. No agency handoffs, no surprise invoices.
-
What is the best SEO company in Edmonton?
It depends on your budget. Larger agencies charge $1,500+ monthly retainers. OnePoint bundles SEO into every build from $499 — no retainer required. Ongoing management is $300/month. The right choice depends on whether you need enterprise-scale SEO or a lean, transparent approach.
-
What is the difference between SEO and AEO?
SEO targets Google and Bing rankings. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) targets AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews. Both matter in 2026. OnePoint builds both into every website. Most Edmonton SEO agencies only handle traditional SEO.
-
Can you do SEO for a website you didn't build?
We offer a $499 AEO Audit for existing sites — we score your site against 25 criteria and give you a prioritized fix list. For ongoing SEO management ($300/month), we only work on sites we built, because we know the codebase and can move fast.
