Who you're working with
"I started SearchSpruce Studio because too many local businesses are stuck with websites that don't load fast, don't rank, and don't bring in customers. You get one direct point of contact — me — from the first conversation through launch and beyond."
— Karan, Founder of SearchSpruce Studio · Comox Valley, BC

Questions we actually get asked
Do you only work with businesses near you?
No — we're based in Comox Valley, BC, but we work with local businesses across Canada. We've also worked internationally: our HDTech case study is a business in New Zealand. If you're outside Canada, get in touch and we'll let you know if we're a good fit.
Can you guarantee we will rank #1 on Google?
No, and any agency that promises this isn't being honest with you. Rankings depend on relevance, distance, and prominence signals Google controls, not us. What we can do is build the strongest technical, content, and local-SEO foundation possible — clean crawlable HTML, real reviews, structured data, and genuinely useful pages — which is what actually moves rankings over time.
What's the difference between Website Rescue and Local Launch?
Website Rescue is for businesses with an existing site that needs modernizing — a redesign, speed fixes, or mobile repairs. Local Launch is a full new website built from strategy through to a live, SEO-ready launch. If you're not sure which fits, tell us about your current site and we'll recommend one.
Do you build on WordPress or something custom?
It depends on what you need. If you want to edit everything yourself from a dashboard, WordPress is a great fit and something we build well. If you want the fastest, most maintenance-free option, we build custom static-first sites. We'll recommend whichever fits your business, not whichever is easiest for us.
What is AI-search or AEO optimization?
It's making sure tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google's AI Overviews can discover, understand, and accurately represent your business — through clear content, consistent business information, and technical access for AI crawlers. It builds on the same SEO fundamentals as Google search, not a separate trick.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance after launch?
Yes — our Website Care package covers security updates, backups, uptime monitoring, and small content changes so your site stays fast and current after launch. If you also want ongoing SEO work, that's the separate Search Growth package — we keep the two apart on purpose so you're only paying for what you actually need.
