SEO Team Toronto

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and position.

I am the Real estate agent of Century 21

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

We're a real estate development company in Toronto. We build residential condos and mixed-use projects across the GTA.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire SEO Team Toronto to accomplish?

• We needed more people finding our new condo projects through Google
• We wanted more qualified leads coming in through the website, not just traffic

How many teammates from SEO Team Toronto were assigned to this project?

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

They started by going through our whole website and pointing out everything that was holding us back from a technical standpoint. Things we had no idea were even issues. From there they put together a strategy that was specific to real estate, not some generic SEO playbook. Every month they handled on-page and off-page work, wrote content for our blog and landing pages, and managed local SEO for the different project locations we had going on. 
The main things we got out of it were a solid keyword plan, landing pages built for each development, and a link-building push that got us placed on some well-known Toronto and real estate sites.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We have been getting a consistent boost in organic traffic to our website and organic leads.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Hard to think of anything major. If I'm being picky, during our busiest launch windows it would've been nice to have a bit more face time, maybe a quick weekly check-in instead of monthly. But that's really a minor thing and didn't affect the quality of the work at all.

What was your primary form of communication with SEO Team Toronto?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Really well run. We had a strategist and an account manager assigned to us, and both of them were on top of things. We never had to chase anyone down for updates. The monthly reports were clear and actually useful, not just a bunch of data dumps. One thing that stood out was when we had a condo launch come up faster than expected and needed pages optimized quickly. 
They turned it around in a few days without us having to push. They also brought ideas to us regularly, which we appreciated. It wasn't a situation where we had to drive every conversation.

Are there any areas for improvement or something SEO Team Toronto could have done differently?

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

SEO Team Toronto looked at our website and told us pretty quickly what was holding us back. A lot of it was stuff we never would have caught on our own, like how our pages were set up, missing keywords, slow load times, things like that. They fixed the technical issues, rewrote a bunch of our service pages so they'd actually rank for what people search for, and helped us get our Google Business Profile in better shape. They also ran some ad campaigns alongside the SEO work to get things moving faster while the organic side built up. We got monthly updates showing what they did and how things were trending.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We started seeing a noticeable jump in website visits within the first couple months. More importantly, the phone started ringing from people who found us on Google, which wasn't really happening before. We also started showing up in the map results for renovation-related searches in our area, which was a big deal for us.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Honestly, really good. They kept things simple, which I appreciated because I'm busy running jobs and don't have time to sit through long meetings. Our main point of contact was always quick to reply, whether it was email or a quick call. They sent us reports every month and actually walked us through what it all meant instead of just sending a PDF and disappearing. When we had questions or wanted to change something, they were flexible about it. No runaround, no waiting days for a response. It felt like they understood how a small business operates.

What was your primary form of communication with SEO Team Toronto?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed me most about SEO Team Toronto is how quickly they were able to identify what was holding us back and turn things around with real, measurable results. Within a short time, we started seeing more traffic and, more importantly, actual leads coming in from Google. They kept everything simple, communicated clearly, and focused on what actually grows the business rather than just reporting metrics.

Are there any areas for improvement or something SEO Team Toronto could have done differently?

I wish we had started sooner, honestly. The only real thing I'd say is that in the first few weeks it felt like a lot of information coming at us all at once with the audit and recommendations. It would've helped to have that broken down a bit more gradually. But once we got past the initial setup, everything was smooth.
