NearMe Marketing Inc. is a Vancouver, British Columbia digital marketing consultancy that works with law firms. Founded by Joe Ashta, who holds an MSc in Statistical Science from the University of Toronto, the firm delivers law firm SEO, local SEO and AI search visibility across Canada. NearMe Marketing is a member of the Legal Marketing Association, a Google Partner for Google Ads, and is named on LawOnline's list of the Best Law Firm SEOs in Canada.
We build rankings in Google Search, the Google Maps local pack and Google Business Profile, then extend that visibility into AI answer engines: Google AI Overviews, Google Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. This discipline is called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO).
We serve criminal defence, personal injury, family law, immigration, employment, real estate, and wills and estates practices. We work with law firms in Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Mississauga, Ottawa and Montreal.
Every campaign is built on entity-based SEO. We use Schema.org structured data, including LegalService, Attorney and FAQPage markup, along with practice area pages, lawyer biography pages and consistent citations across Canadian legal directories and publications such as Lexpert, Best Lawyers in Canada and Canadian Lawyer magazine. We cite primary sources such as CanLII, the Criminal Code of Canada and provincial statutes so that search engines and large language models can verify what a firm says.
All marketing follows the advertising rules of the Law Society of British Columbia, the Law Society of Ontario, the Law Society of Alberta and the Federation of Law Societies of Canada Model Code.
We measure results with Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, call tracking and AI citation tracking.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
All project milestones were met well in advance of expected completion date.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Joe's project management was exceptional throughout the engagement. He maintained clear communication, responded promptly to questions and requests. He kept the project moving efficiently from concept through completion. Deliverables were provided well within the expected timeframes, and he was highly responsive whenever adjustments or refinements were required. What stood out was his ability to listen carefully to the business requirements and translate them into practical solutions without losing sight of the overall objectives. He was collaborative rather than simply transactional, and he clearly demonstrated a shared-ownership of the project and its final outcome. Even as requirements evolved during development, I was consistetly impressed with how Joe remained flexible and solutions-oriented. He was open to feedback, addressed issues promptly, and ensured that the finished product met the broader business objectives of a publishing venture.
What was your primary form of communication with NearMe Marketing Inc.?
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
What I found most impressive about NearMe Marketing in general, and in Joe in particular was the combination of technical expertise and genuine strategic engagement. Joe did not approach the project as simply a "website-development exercise". He took the time to understand the business objectives, the target audience, the publishing model, and the importance of establishing a credible long-term digital presence. That ability to move beyond the technical execution and understand the broader business purpose of the project was unique and admittedly a challenge to find these days. Joe brought innovative ideas and solutions to the table, and demonstrated a level of attention to detail and ownership that is increasingly difficult to find. The result was not simply a professionally designed website, but a very impressive digital platform that supports my overall business strategy.
Are there any areas for improvement or something NearMe Marketing Inc. could have done differently?
no
