Top of Google Maps.

When a Montreal local types `dentiste plateau` or asks ChatGPT for a Mile End mechanic, the answer comes from the three-pin Google Maps box. We earn your business that spot with a Google Business Profile that gets clicks in both languages, citations across Quebec and Canada-wide local directories, and reviews that close it.

— Why Montreal operators hire us

Three reasons SEO is the smartest line item on your marketing budget.

More visibility across Greater Montreal in both languages. More inbound from buyers already searching. Less paid spend over time.

— 01

An asset you own.

Rankings compound. Once you sit at the top of the Quebec searches your customers run, in English and in French, the asset works while you run the business.

— 02

Predictable inbound.

Word-of-mouth is uneven. Search puts a steady line of Montreal buyers in front of you every week, in every season, across two languages.

— 03

Stop renting attention.

Paid search resets every month. Earned bilingual rankings keep delivering long after the work is done. No commissions. No per-click meter.

How we get a Montreal business found across English and French search.

STEP 01

Map every Quebec search, in both languages.

We pull the actual Montreal searches your customers run, the long list, in English and in French. Searches like `seo agency montreal`, `agence seo montreal`, `dentiste plateau`, `best brunch mile end`, `notaire outremont`, `hotels old montreal`, `plombier verdun`. You see exactly where you rank in each language, where competitors rank, and where the gaps are. Includes a Google Business Profile audit and a read on how ChatGPT and Perplexity currently describe your business in EN and FR.

STEP 02

Build the pages a bilingual buyer finds.

We build a page for every shape of Montreal buyer search, in the language the buyer uses: service pages for the big English and French keywords, neighborhood pages for the local intent, comparison and FAQ content for places where AI tools look for answers. We fix every technical issue on your site, set up bilingual routing and local business signals, and feed the citation sources Google Maps and AI engines actually read on both sides of the language line. Rankings stop being luck.

When a Montreal buyer asks AI, your business answers.

AI search does not crawl like Google. It selects from what it trusts, and the trusted source list looks different in English and in French. We feed your brand into the sources ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Copilot pull from on both sides of the line, so when a Quebec buyer asks for a recommendation, your name lands.

— FAQ

What Montreal operators ask on the call.

If a question is not answered here, ask on the discovery call. We will tell you the truth, even if it disqualifies us.

Do you do SEO in French as well as English?

Yes. Bilingual SEO is the default in Montreal. We map the searches your customers run in both English and French, build the language version each query expects, and structure the site so Google serves the right page in the right language. French content is written by native French copy, not run through a translator.

How is Montreal SEO different from SEO in Toronto or Vancouver?

The market splits across two languages and two sets of search results. A Montreal buyer searching `dentiste plateau` sees a different result set than one searching `dentist plateau`, and the winners are rarely the same business. The work is to rank in both, signal to Google that you serve Quebec French and Canadian English audiences, and respect Quebec language and consumer-protection rules in your copy and metadata.

Will my Google Business Profile be rebuilt?

Almost always. Most Montreal Google profiles we audit are English-only, have inconsistent French and English address formats across the web, or sit under the wrong primary category. We rebuild it, set the right language and service areas, line up citation listings across Canadian and Quebec directories, and put a review system in place that earns the new reviews Google looks for to lift you on Google Maps.

Do you work with Montreal businesses if you are headquartered in Vancouver?

Yes. The 66th is headquartered in Vancouver, BC, and serves clients across Canada and the US. The team includes native French copy for Quebec work. Discovery, strategy and reporting calls run remotely. The market knowledge is built into the page builds, not the postal code.

What is GEO and how does it work in French?

GEO is Generative Engine Optimization. Getting your business cited by name inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Gemini and Copilot when a buyer asks for a recommendation. In Montreal we run it in both languages. Quebec buyers ask AI in French as often as English, and the engines pull from a different set of sources for each. We feed both.

How long until I see results?

We do not publish a fixed window, because the honest answer depends on the starting state of your site, your Google profile, your review velocity, the competitiveness of your category in Montreal, and how much content already exists. On the call we walk you through what we have seen for businesses with a similar starting point. SEO is a compounding asset. The first wins show up earlier than most operators expect, the bigger lift earns out over time.

What makes Montreal SEO different from a generic local SEO playbook?

Bilingual search results, Quebec consumer-protection rules, French-Canadian local online directories, neighborhood-level search demand that varies block by block, and tourism intent that spikes seasonally. A generic local SEO template misses every one of those. We build for the actual buyer journey across Greater Montreal.

Do I need to commit long-term?

No. Engagements are month-to-month. SEO compounds, so the longer we work together the more leverage you get, but you are never locked in. We earn the renewal.
