Ottawa is a unique market — bilingual, government-influenced, with a dense core of service-area businesses competing for the same local searches. Generic SEO agencies treat Ottawa like any other city. We don't.
We're strategy-first on every engagement. We start with a complete technical audit, keyword research, and competitor analysis before we write a single word of content. Your topical authority map is built around the specific searches Ottawa customers use — in English and, for businesses that need it, in French.
You work directly with Kevin van Geffen and Guido 't Hooft — the two founders who built Digital Moose here in Ottawa. Kevin leads SEO strategy, design, and client management. Guido leads technical development and advertising operations. No account managers. No junior staff. 30+ years of combined pre-founding experience on your account every month.

“We had an excellent experience working with Kevin and Guido from Digital Moose. From start to finish, their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were outstanding. They truly understood our vision and delivered a professional website design that we absolutely love — the look and feel of our new site exceeded expectations. What really stood out was how painless they made the entire process for our team. Communication was clear, timelines were met, and every step felt organized and stress-free. We couldn't be happier with the result. Thank you for such a smooth and successful project!”
“The team at Digital Moose is outstanding. About 6 months ago, they reworked my website, and I am now reaping the benefits!! Clients are more easily able to find me online, and my rankings have improved. There is no question my business has greatly benefited from the hard work that Kevin and Guido put in. I have tried many different options to increase the visibility of my business online, and working with Digital Moose is the first time that my investments have tangibly paid off. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone looking for web, SEO, or marketing support.”
Local SEO is the foundation of visibility for Ottawa service businesses. When a Barrhaven homeowner searches 'HVAC repair near me' or a Kanata resident needs an emergency plumber, Google prioritizes businesses with optimized Google Business Profiles, strong local citations, and location-specific content.
We specialize in local SEO for Ottawa businesses. We optimize your Google Business Profile with accurate NAP (name, address, phone), service area definitions, business categories, high-quality images, and regular posts. We build location-specific landing pages for every neighbourhood you serve — whether that's Centretown, Westboro, Orleans, Barrhaven, or surrounding communities including Gatineau.
Reviews are a direct ranking factor for map pack results. We help you collect more Google reviews from happy customers — and respond professionally to negative feedback when it happens.
Ottawa is a bilingual market. For businesses serving French-speaking customers in Ottawa and Gatineau, our French localization add-on covers French keyword research, translated content, and bilingual schema — complete visibility across both language markets.
Ottawa Market Reality
Ottawa is a bilingual, competitive local search market. Without a complete local SEO strategy — and French coverage if you need it — you're invisible to a significant share of your potential customers.
We're a local Ottawa agency. Here's what our founder-led model looks like in practice.
