If you are not in the top 3, you are not getting the call
When something breaks, people do not shop around. They search "near me" and call one of the first three names they see.
The top 3 get the calls
The map pack sits above everything else on the page. Most homeowners never scroll past it, so if you are not in it, your competitors get the job.
Ads charge you for every lead
Google Ads can put you on top, but you pay for every click, every month. The day you stop paying, the phone stops ringing.
Ranking keeps paying you back
Once you rank on Maps and in the results below it, calls keep coming in without a per-lead cost. More calls do not mean a bigger bill.
Three ways we get you more calls
Most owners start with local SEO. Add ads for calls this month, and a website if you do not have one.

Contractor websitesLocal SEO: what we do
Your Google Business Profile
This is the listing Google uses to decide who shows up on the map. We set the right primary category, add every service you sell as its own line, set the service area to the towns you actually work, and write the description and the posts. You text us photos from the job and we do the rest. Then we check the profile every month so it does not slide.
Your reviews
Homeowners compare the three listings they see and pick the one with more recent, better reviews. A steady flow of new ones gets you picked and keeps you there.
We set up a review system your crew can run from the field. A text or email goes out when the job is done and links straight to your Google review page. We track who was asked and who left one. Real customers, real reviews. No bought reviews, no fake ones.
Your local pages and citations
Your business name, address and phone number should match everywhere they appear. We clean up your directory listings so they agree, then build service-area pages on your website for the towns you actually work in. We also get you listed and linked from local sites: supplier directories, the home builders association, the chamber, local news when you do a charity job. That part is slow, and we tell you so up front.

Why business owners work with us
Fort York Digital is a local SEO agency built for contractors and local service businesses across the US and Canada. We do one thing: Google Maps and local search.
One business per trade per city
We never work for your competitor down the street.
You talk to the people doing the work
No account managers, no handoffs.
One page a month
Your map rank, your calls, and what we did. Nothing to decode.
Questions owners ask us
How long is the contract?
One quarter at a time. The audit is a one-time purchase. Monthly optimization is from $999/month on a quarterly contract, because the 60-day plan needs a full quarter to run. It renews each quarter. Tell us before the next quarter starts and the current quarter is your last. We would rather earn the next quarter than lock you into a year. If the monthly page does not show progress, you will know, and you can leave.
What does it cost?
The full local SEO audit with its 60-day action plan is a one-time $499, and you can run the plan yourself or with anyone you like. Monthly optimization, where we run the plan and report every month, is from $999/month with no setup fee. If your situation needs something outside that scope, we tell you before doing it, not after.
How long until I see results?
We do not promise a date, and you should be wary of anyone who does. The 60-day plan sets what gets done by when. The monthly report shows your map position for the searches that matter, so you see movement, or the lack of it, on your own numbers rather than on our word.
What does "one business per trade per city" mean?
We do not work for you and your competitor at the same time. If we were trying to get two businesses in the same trade into the same top 3, one of you would be getting the short end. So we take one business per trade per city, first come. If your spot is taken, we tell you.
We already have an agency. Why switch?
Maybe you should not. If they show you your map position and your calls every month, and both are moving, stay. If you get a report you cannot read and you are not sure what they did, book a free call. We will look at your map position with you, and you can compare it with what they are reporting.
What if I do not have a website?
We build one. A fast, simple site with a page for each service and each town you work in, click-to-call on every page, and your reviews on show. It is built to rank on Google from day one, and you own it. We go through it on the free call. Google Ads is available too, once the local SEO work is running.
