Trufijo provides professional local SEO services to small and mid-size businesses across Canada — covering Google Business Profile optimization, Map Pack ranking, citation building, and review management, reported monthly against the metrics that matter to your bottom line.
A competitor's Google Business Profile is showing above yours in the Map Pack. Here's what we hear most from businesses that come to us:
A competitor appeared above you after a Google update. You haven't moved back up and aren't sure why or how.
Your Google Business Profile was suspended or flagged. You opened a new location and it isn't ranking in local searches.
Your last SEO vendor stopped reporting, stopped producing results, or both — and you're deciding who to trust next.
You've decided you need outside help. This page is about the decision of who.
We handle the full local SEO stack — from Google Business Profile to local link building — so you're not piecing together multiple vendors.

Every engagement follows the same structured process — so you always know exactly what's happening and when you'll see it.
We assess your current local search footprint — GBP health, citation consistency, Map Pack position vs. top three competitors, on-page technical issues, and review velocity. This sets the baseline everything else is measured against.
We correct the issues the audit uncovered — fixing NAP inconsistencies, rebuilding or correcting GBP categories and attributes, deploying LocalBusiness schema, and creating or improving location pages on your website.
With the foundation in place, we begin active citation building across Canadian directories, initiate local link outreach, launch the review acquisition sequence, and publish the first round of GBP posts targeting your keywords.
Monthly execution of all core deliverables — GBP posts, citation maintenance, link building, review responses, rank tracking — plus a strategy call to review the report and adjust priorities based on what the data shows.
Local SEO is not a light switch. Here is an honest picture of what accelerates and what delays Map Pack movement.
We communicate which situation applies to your listing during the audit stage — before any ongoing work begins. We do not guarantee specific Map Pack positions. Google controls ranking; we control the inputs.
We take engagements where we can produce measurable local search results. Where we can't, we'll tell you on the first call.
If any of the above apply, we will tell you on the discovery call. We do not accept engagements where the conditions for success are not in place.
Your engagement is handled by one local SEO specialist who manages your GBP, citations, and reporting every month — not a different person on each ticket. You know who to call and they know your account.
AccountabilityWe track and report Map Pack positions, GBP calls, direction requests, and website clicks — not just keyword impressions. The report shows movement against the KPI you stated on day one, not a proxy that inflates the story.
Transparent ReportingCanadian Map Pack behaviour differs from US markets — directory ecosystems, citation sources, and review platforms are not identical. We build citations against Canadian directories and benchmark against Canadian competitor profiles, not American averages.
Canada-SpecificAgencies can resell our local SEO services under their own brand. Deliverables, reports, and client-facing communication are produced without Trufijo branding. Minimum client volume applies — ask on the discovery call.
White LabelLocation pages and GBP posts are written by trained writers and reviewed before publication. We do not use AI to mass-produce undisclosed content across client accounts. Each location page is written for its specific city and service area.
Quality ControlYou retain full access to your Google Business Profile, Search Console, citation log, and all content files on exit. We do not hold your data hostage. If you leave, you leave with everything we built.
No Lock-InEach model fits a different business stage. Here is an honest comparison so you can make the right decision for your situation.
| Factor | DIY with Tools | Trufijo — Local SEO Agency | Solo Local SEO Consultant |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Single location, low-competition category, owner has 6–8 hrs/week | Multi-location operators, competitive markets, recovery from ranking drop, agencies needing white label | Businesses with an in-house marketer who can execute but needs strategic direction |
| Execution | Owner does all work | Dedicated specialist executes all deliverables monthly | Strategy provided; execution falls on your team |
| Reporting | Self-managed dashboards | Monthly written report + strategy call tracking calls, rankings, and GBP metrics | Varies by consultant; often ad hoc |
| What you give up | Time and a steep learning curve on GBP algorithm changes | Day-to-day hands-on control — you approve direction, we execute | Execution bandwidth; you still need someone to do the work |
| White label option | Not applicable | Yes — available for qualifying agencies | Rarely structured for resale |
| Multi-location support | Difficult to manage at scale with tools alone | Yes — separate GBP and citation work per location | Time-limited; depends on consultant capacity |
Book a 20-minute strategy call. We'll review your current Google Business Profile health, your Map Pack position relative to your top three competitors, and whether local SEO is the right investment for your business right now.
We serve businesses in every major Canadian market. Each city engagement is built around that city's specific Map Pack competitive landscape — not a generic national template applied locally.
