About LocalRank
A small, owner-operated SEO practice based in Durham Region.
LocalRank is run by Dane Smith, an Oshawa-based business owner. He runs a local service company himself — and does its SEO the same way he'd do yours: research what customers actually search for, build pages that answer them properly, keep the Google profile alive, and measure what moved.
That playbook is what LocalRank offers clients. No jargon walls, no mystery retainers, no twelve-month contracts. Just the fundamentals done consistently, reported honestly.
What we believe
- Local first. A business in Oshawa doesn't need to outrank the whole internet — just the other options within a fifteen-minute drive.
- Fundamentals over tricks. Most small-business sites don't need hacks. They need titles, structure, content and a live Google profile done right, every month.
- Honest measurement. If something isn't working, you'll hear it from us before you notice it yourself.
- Earn the renewal. Month to month, always. The work should be the reason you stay.
