SEO campaigns that earn their keep.

Space Proof runs SEO campaigns for Winnipeg businesses, and we're developer-owned — which matters more in SEO than almost anywhere else. Most SEO companies hand you a report and a list of recommendations; we're the ones who can actually open the code and implement them. Technical SEO isn't a PDF here, it's work that ships.

Technical audit, then the fixes

We start with a technical audit of your site: crawl errors, Core Web Vitals, site structure, security, indexation. We then fix what's broken — redirect chains, robots.txt blocks, missing schema, image optimization. Those fixes alone can be enough to lift a struggling page, because Google can finally crawl and understand it.

Next comes on-page work: title tags and meta descriptions optimized for actual search queries rather than guesses, heading structure fixed so Google understands your content, and internal linking mapped so authority flows to your money pages.

Content aimed at queries you can actually win

We don't guess at keywords. We pull 90 days of data from your Google Search Console to see exactly what queries your site already appears for but doesn't rank well on, then write content targeting those queries at positions you can actually reach.

The usual starting point is a core service query where you show up on page two with a thin paragraph behind it. We rebuild that page around what the searcher actually needs to decide: costs, options, common problems, and how to choose. Depth and specificity matter more than volume, but you need both.

Local signals and the map pack

Local signals move you up the map pack and keep you visible in multi-pack results. That means a fully optimized Google Business Profile with photos, services and Q&A, citations in the right directories, and NAP consistency across the web.

We handle the technical side — schema markup so Google knows exactly where you are and what you do — and keep you updated on what's working month to month.

AI visibility, because that's where search is going

ChatGPT, Claude, and Google's AI search cite businesses by name when they show up in the right structured data, reviews, and citations. We build your business into the answer, not just the search results.

You'll see it when you ask an AI 'who's a good [service] in Winnipeg?' — if your business is cited by name, the campaign is working.

Reporting you can verify yourself

You get reporting straight from Google Search Console every month: real rankings, real clicks, real search traffic. No vanity metrics, and no proprietary dashboard that hides the truth. You can check every number we report.

If your website itself is holding rankings back, we handle that too — Winnipeg web design and development — so the site and the SEO are built by the same hands and align from day one.

  1. What does an SEO campaign include?

    A technical audit (crawl errors, Core Web Vitals, indexation), on-page fixes (titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal links), content targeting real Search Console queries, local signals (GBP optimization, citations, NAP consistency), and AI visibility markup so assistants cite your business. Reporting comes straight from Google Search Console monthly — real rankings, clicks, traffic, no made-up metrics.

  2. How long until I see results?

    Months, not weeks. Local and lower-competition terms usually see movement within 2–3 months; competitive Winnipeg terms take 4–6 months or longer depending on how much established authority you're competing against. Google needs time to re-crawl and re-index after changes, and it needs to see consistent user engagement with your rankings before it trusts you enough to move you higher. The tradeoff with ads: organic results compound and stay yours; ad traffic disappears the moment you stop paying.

  3. Do you guarantee first-page rankings?

    No, and distrust anyone who does — nobody controls Google's algorithm. What we guarantee is the work: audits completed, fixes implemented, content published, and transparent reporting so you see exactly what changed and why. We optimize for rankings, not guarantees, because guarantees are marketing nonsense.

  4. How is Space Proof different from other Winnipeg SEO companies?

    We're developers, so we don't just audit your site and hand you a list of fixes—we implement them. We run our own SEO and AI-visibility work, so we test what we sell. We don't manage Google Ads, so our incentive is your organic rankings, not your ad spend. And every client gets the same honest reporting: straight from Google, no spin.

  5. How much does an SEO campaign cost?

    Depends on how much work your site needs and how competitive your market is. A small local service business in a less-competitive niche might need $1,500–$2,500/month; a Winnipeg e-commerce site competing against established brands might need $4,000+/month. We'll audit your site, show you exactly what needs to happen, and give you an honest number—no surprise upsells, no locked-in minimums beyond what makes sense.

  6. How is local SEO different from regular SEO?

    Local SEO focuses on Google Maps pack visibility and local search results. It relies on map pack signals (GBP optimization, reviews, photos), citations in local directories, and NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency. Regular SEO focuses on organic search results. They overlap—technical fixes and content help both—but local SEO is more map-focused. If you're a service business with a physical location (plumbing, dentistry, HVAC), local SEO is usually more valuable than pure organic rankings. If you sell online or are service-area only, pure organic matters more.

  7. Can you help if my site is ranked but buried (page 2–3)?

    That's actually one of the faster wins. If Google already knows about you and you're getting impressions but no clicks, your content is close—it just needs to be more compelling. We can audit why you're not clicking, improve your title and meta description, and deepen the on-page content. Pages already on page two are often the quickest to move, because Google already considers them relevant. If you're on page 2, you're maybe 50% of the way there authority-wise. The last 50% is harder but still reachable.
