Why is Edmonton SEO good for your local business?

Hey everyone, over the last little while I've been asked a number of times: Why should I be concerned with SEO, and what will SEO do for my business?
Well, the answer is simple, a local Edmonton SEO company can provide you with the online exposure that your business needs. Whether it means receiving more phone calls, gaining more
customers, or selling more of your products, having your business appear higher and higher in the search results is incredibly effective. A good SEO company is not only going to be helping you achieve higher ranks in search engines like Google and Bing, but will also personalize your internet marketing, targeting a specific consumer by researching things like keywords and popular search terms in your area. 

So why is this so important...?

Well, search engine optimization is becoming increasingly popular, since more and more people are now turning to the internet to search for things that they need. I know I sure do! For example, when I want to get my brakes fixed, I'd probably search "edmonton brake repair," or if I need my teeth cleaned, I'll search something like "edmonton dental office." This is because search results are almost always going to be localized, meaning that I'll receive results that are relevant to me where I am. 

A local Edmonton SEO company can help you show up higher in the search results for keywords that are important to your business. A lot of people use their phones to make their searches, meaning that they want relevant, local results. I've done some research of my own, and according to Google reviews (and top search results), the company to go with is Andy Kuiper - SEO Services.

One of the important things to consider is the quality of work that your SEO company provides for you. A lot of the times, companies will charge bogus amounts for the work that they're doing, and might even try to rope you into contracts where you're paying thousands of dollars for unimpressive results. Andy Kuiper seems to have a reputation for being a very honest, and 'white hat' SEO company - he also provides Calgary SEO Services. Do yourself a favor and go with the company that is not only going to save you money in the long run, but will also help you by bringing new customers in.

Basement Foundation Repairs in Edmonton

Hey friends, just wanted to share a bit of information about basement foundation repairs in Edmonton from AbalonConstruction.com, that provides all the information you'll need when you're considering getting your basement foundation repaired.

Basement foundation cracks are a common concern for Edmontonians, but not all cracks occur for the same reasons. In some cases, the soil around a home can shrink or swell, causing the foundation to be pressured or shift. Other times, frost build up can result in foundation damage, or if your house undergoes major renovations (e.g. adding a second story to a previously one-story house).



There are a couple of options to consider when getting your basement foundation repaired, like whether to have it repaired from the inside or the outside of the house. Home owners have questions about which approach is better, and what the differences are between the two. Abalon Construction recognizes that although interior repairs come at a lower cost to home owners, the best way to permanently repair foundation leaking is to address the first point of contact between the leak and the moisture. This type of repair can only be done from the exterior of the home, through a process of excavation which reveals the areas around the outside that need to be focused on. After cleaning and sealing have been completed, the integrity of the foundation is reinforced, making the repairs last a lot longer than typical interior sealing methods. 

Expert foundation repair companies agree the temporary repair that comes from interior sealing is only a band-aid solution, and can even end up costing the home owner more money in repairs in the long run, because the foundation will continue to naturally deteriorate over time. 


Some common signs of basement leaking are: a damp or mouldy smell in your basement, water leaking in from the foundation, rust on your basement appliances, visible cracks in your basement walls and foundation, etc. If you think your home may be experiencing foundation leaking, or is in need of repair, call 780-468-4400 for a foundation specialist to visit you for a free, no-obligations walk through where they will explain all of their methods and give you a free estimate and evaluation of your basement.
