Search Marketing

Be the answer, not just a result.

Search has split into three battlegrounds — the classic results page, the answer box, and the AI chat window. We build visibility across all three, for businesses anywhere in Canada.

Why it matters

Three ways Canadians find you online

Someone researching a roofer, a clinic or a new pair of boots rarely opens ten blue links anymore. They skim an AI overview, ask ChatGPT directly, or click the one result that actually answers their question. Search Marketing at Performance Spur covers all three, under one strategy instead of three disconnected vendors.

SEO

Search Engine Optimization

Technical fixes, on-page optimization and link building that raise your organic rankings on Google and Bing across Canadian search results, so paid traffic stops being your only source of leads.

  • Technical SEO audits — site speed, indexing, mobile usability
  • Keyword strategy mapped to how Canadians actually search your category
  • On-page content and internal linking optimization
  • Local and national link building
  • Monthly ranking and traffic reporting tied to leads, not just position
AEO

Answer Engine Optimization

The featured snippet, the People Also Ask box, the voice assistant response — AEO structures your content so search engines can lift a direct answer straight from your site.

  • Content restructured around the exact questions your customers ask
  • Schema markup so search engines understand your content correctly
  • FAQ and how-to formatting built for answer boxes
  • Ongoing tracking of snippet and answer-box placements
GEO

Generative Engine Optimization

AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot are becoming a real research channel. GEO is how we get your business cited and recommended inside those AI-generated answers, not just traditional search results.

  • Content built to be quoted accurately by AI models
  • Brand and entity signals that help AI tools recognize your business
  • Structured data and authoritative citations AI systems trust
  • Monitoring how your brand shows up in AI-generated answers
