If you have an existing website that is not generating the results you currently desire please contact Cameron Finlayson to help you develop a viable Search Engine Optimization strategy.
On Page SEO
The coveted #1 natural/organic search spot is one of the most effective ways to drive users and potential business to your website. For example, if you sell blue widgets in Toronto and someone is unable to find your business when they type “Blue Widgets Toronto” into Google, your site is missing its target audience.
When Cameron initially meets with clients, the most common question asked is, “How do I get my site listed at the top of Google?”
The answer is dynamic. It is more of an ongoing process than a simple, one-time fix. Once your site is designed, there is unfortunately no absolute guarantee that you will instantly reach the #1 ranking for your desired terms. It requires developing and executing a strategic, targeted approach.
Keeping Website Content Fresh
Regularly adding fresh content to a website is crucial for effective search engine optimization. Search engines prioritize active and updated sites. New content provides opportunities to target diverse keywords and attracts a broader audience.
Modern search engines rely heavily on E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness). By demonstrating expertise through valuable, high-quality content, you build credibility and earn higher rankings. Consistent content updates contribute significantly to user engagement, longer dwell times, and lower bounce rates—all positive signals for your SEO success.
Using Trending Topics for SEO
Incorporating newsworthy and popular topics into your website is vital. Addressing trending topics ensures relevance to your users’ interests, increasing engagement. Regularly featuring timely content signals to search engines that your site is a reliable, up-to-date source of information, optimizing you for increased visibility.

Selecting Keywords
How to choose the proper keyword?
When selecting keywords decide the first thing Cameron Finlayson recommends to their client is to take a blank piece of paper and a pen. On the blank sheet start writing down anything and everything that comes to mind when describing your business in under three or four words.
Once you have this list written up take a second look at this list and ask yourself if you use these terms when you are verbally describing your business to someone. If the answer is no then cross those items off your list.
What do I do with the keywords I have selected?
Now that you have selected your keywords for your website you need to put them into sentences within your content in a logical order.
For example if the website advertises website design you may want to include the following phrases:
website design, content management websites, designing website, creating website, small business website, etc.
When writing your keywords you need to think how people think to search for your product/service in a day to day basis.
How do I choose keywords specific to my business?
When choosing your keywords keep in mind that the internet is filled with millions of pages. Within those millions of pages there could be hundreds or thousands of people offering similar services. In order to drive traffic to your website you need to think about who your audience is.
For example if you design websites in Toronto and you want to generate local traffic you may want to mention the following words:
website design toronto, website design GTA, website toronto ontario, web site midtown toronto, etc.
Will this be enough to generate traffic to my business?

However, his proven track record for generating #1 rankings for clients has helped his clients reach their desired rankings. This can happen as quickly as one to two months or sooner for some clients.
Choosing the keywords is Step #1 in the SEO process. Step #2 (Integrate your keywords into website by using an On Page SEO strategy and Step #3 (Develop a Search Engine Optimization Strategy) are also the key to success with SEO.
Off Page SEO
Search engines use a variety of ways to crawl and index your website, relying on “search-bots” to find your pages online.
Consider your website as a leaf on a tree. If the leaf falls off the tree and lands on the ground, it eventually blows away into the wind. However, if that leaf (your website) is connected to a branch, and that branch is connected to the trunk, you are connected with all the other leaves on that tree.
If that tree is isolated all on its own, communication stops. But if your tree is in a densely populated forest with branches resting on other trees, your leaf is well-networked within the forest.
This analogy demonstrates the importance of backlinks.
Earning high-quality, natural backlinks from reputable sources is a time-intensive but essential task. Instead of relying on outdated link-exchange schemes, modern Off-Page SEO focuses on building genuine authority so other reputable websites want to link to yours. Cameron Finlayson focuses on strategies that safely and effectively build your site’s authority over time, allowing you to focus on running your business.
