If You Want to Grow Your Business in Markham, You've Come to The Right Place
Hi, I’m Gleb! For the past 5 years, I’ve helped hundreds of businesses with their marketing. I’ve seen it all: from start-ups looking for a first client to publicly traded companies trying to increase their share price. And I can assure you there’s hope for everyone!
But first, let’s get back to 2018, when I first entered the digital marketing world as a web developer. I was building custom websites and thinking that having a beautiful website was all it took to get leads. I mean, they look great, everyone likes them, and some of these websites might even win an award. But what’s missing from the last sentence?
Traffic!
Just because you’ve built the most stunning website there is, it doesn’t mean you’ll get many clients from it because nobody can find it!
And this part is what really got me. I’ve always wanted my work to benefit others, and now I realize my beautiful designs were almost useless.
Following this logic, I sought the cheapest and most effective way to grow traffic that can bring quality leads. And I’ve found it: SEO!
Local SEO
Why Would You Invest In SEO?
When you’re trying to increase your visibility online to get clients, you always have two choices, no matter what platform you use. You can do ads, or you can try to grow organically.
Since the most qualified leads for most types of businesses come from Google, we’ll focus on this platform.
Google ads work great because, unlike ads in social media where people are looking for entertainment, people who ‘Google’ for “emergency locksmith near me” clearly need the service and are ready to pay for it right now. So you don’t need to convince them that they need your service. You just have to show that you’re the best option around.
The only problem with Google Ads is that the cost of a single call can increase to the point where your services will no longer be profitable, especially during the season.
The only way to get the same quality of leads without bankrupting your business is to increase your search engine rankings so that your page shows up in the first place on search engine results pages (SERPs). Because then, you won’t have to pay for clicks anymore.
And once you start getting in the top 3 results for your main keywords, you will see a constant increase in leads without an increase in your marketing budget. And that increase can be 2-20X what you’re getting today!
SEO Takes Time
How Fast Can I Get to The 1st Position?
Like everything of value, search engine rankings take time. It’s not something you can get in a day or week.
In the case of a local business, you might get the first position in 5-6 months, but nobody can guarantee it. That’s because it depends on your current rankings and the competition in your area.
SEO is about content and backlinks. If your competitors are adding 5 pages and 10 backlinks a month, and you’re just adding 1 page and no backlinks, you’ll never catch up with them unless they start making mistakes. The same works in reverse.
For new websites, getting to the 1st position will take even longer because Google doesn’t give traffic to everyone. In fact, 90.63% of all pages on Google get no traffic at all, 0!
It’s Google’s top priority to show pages that users will find useful. And when such pages already exist for your niche in your area, it will take quite some time to convince Google that your page is worthy of traffic too.
The first traffic is always the hardest to get. But once you get it, you can grow it exponentially if you have a proper SEO strategy.
Are You Doing SEO Right?
Common SEO Mistakes Business Owners Make
The two types of mistakes I’ve seen times and times again are: having a tiny budget and using Black Hat SEO.
SEO is all about getting momentum. You need to add enough quality content consistently to see results. Adding just 1 page or 1 blog post per month will never do it, no matter how big that page is.
And that’s the mistake a lot of business owners make, either due to misguidance from their marketing advisors or in hopes of doing it with a small budget. The chances of you growing traffic that way are slim to none. If you’re going to do it, do it all the way or don’t even start because it will be a waste of time and money.
The other mistake is looking for shortcuts, aka using Black-Hat tactics. For example, buying cheap spammy backlinks instead of good ones just to get the right count or spamming blogs with links to your websites in hopes of increasing your DR.
It could work 10 years ago, but today the game is different. Google’s algorithm is far more advanced, and it easily spots things like that. The only result you will get with these ‘clever’ ideas is an algorithmic or manual penalty from Google, and all your previous digital marketing efforts will go down the drain.

What Does Your SEO Process Look Like?
Keyword Research
The right SEO strategy always starts with keyword research. This is a make-it-or-break-it point because the wrong choice of keywords makes any SEO efforts worthless. We first conduct extensive keyword research and then discussing it with you to confirm our findings are relevant to your business. As a result, we create a website structure that will connect all content and help it rank.
Technical Audit
The next step is a technical audit of your website. We find all 404 pages, unnecessary 301 redirects, useless indexed pages and on-page issues like missing h1 headings. We also check your site speed and optimize it as much as possible. Then we review your backlink profile to find links hurting your rankings. Once technical issues are fixed and spammy links are disavowed, we can start growing your organic traffic.
Content Creation
After that, we start creating and publishing a certain number of pages and blog posts each week (depending on your package), which can be new pages or rewrites of existing pages. This expands the number of keywords you can rank for and shows Google that your website's content is constantly updating; hence, your website must be crawled and tested more often.
Link Building
While creating new website content and updating the old one, we're building links to it. Links are crucial in rankings, as they tell search engines that your website is trusted by other websites with traffic. We create citations and guest posts to keep a healthy balance between nofollow and dofollow links so your website isn't penalized.
Bi-Weekly Reporting
We will send you bi-weekly reports about the work done, changes in traffic and your website's health status to keep you in the loop about the process and results. We prefer sending reports about keywords' position changes once a month because it takes Google some time to index all new updates and reflect them in rankings.
24/7 Support
At any point during the process, you can contact us with any questions or concerns. We understand that SEO can be difficult to wrap your head around, but we promise it will be easier once you see the results!
Success Stories
Please note that we can’t disclose the clients’ names in our case studies because even white-hat SEO, as safe as it is, is still not something Google wants you to do.

Gleb and his team are pros. They helped me get access to my Wordpress site, and fixed A TON of errors. Fast and on budget. They explained me Internet marketing and what this whole thing is about. Now I understand how my previous guys scammed me!

Working with FTDigital was a 5 stars ️ experience! I contacted Gleb for help with my website. It was slow, outdated and it didn’t work on mobile. I also had a huge red error every now and then when I tried to open it. Not only did he help me problem solve he took the time to explain everything in detail. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for help with their website.

I wanted to build my first website for my business and first tried Wix. I have to admit it didn’t look nice but I had no desire to spend any more money on it. I though it was useless. When my friend introduced me to Gleb, I had my doubts that I needed it. Tough after he showed me what my competitors were doing and what results they got, I was more than surprised. My main competitor had 2,000 visitors every month while I only had 15! He really helped me understand why I couldn’t get any more customers. So I decided to invest in it, and I must say, it was worth it 100%
Highly recommend this guy for your marketing. Thank you so much!

Our Pricing Explained
Why Do You Charge More Than Freelancers?
“I’ve seen seo companies offering their services for $800/month. Why would I pay more?”
I bet you have. I’ve personally seen people offering SEO services for $500 a year.
The question here is, what quality of results do you want?
High-quality, white-hat SEO that brings results can’t be done for $800/month, let alone $800 a year. When you take the costs of high-quality content, quality backlinks and the time needed to plan and execute it right, the numbers don’t add up.
So, you’ll either get barely any growth or a quick pump that will end in a quick dump or manual penalty from Google, which will completely remove your website from the Google search results.
The choice, of course, is entirely yours, but I don’t see the benefit in being penny-wise and pound-foolish.
SET your budget
Which Package Is Right For You?
To get the most from SEO, you need to plan your budget right.
SEO is not something you should spend your last dollar on because it can’t bring you instant results.
The right way to treat it is to consider how much money you can invest in it monthly without hurting your budget. It’s always better to go with a smaller package and do it consistently than choose a custom $10k one and do it for two months. That’s just not how it works.
All our packages have no set contracts. If you ever decide it’s not for you, you can cancel your subscription at the end of each month.
How To Start Working With Us?
Time is money. The sooner you start, the faster you’ll get free leads.
If you already have a proper website, we can start right away!
The main thing we’re looking for is a modern design that is mobile-friendly and optimized for conversions. If you only have a few pages, it’s not a problem as long as the website is built on WordPress.
We’ll do a free audit of your website to determine its current positions, competitors and technical errors. From there, we will present a plan for growing your traffic and what exactly we will do each month.
If you don't have a website, or your website is outdated and doesn't work right, we can start by building a new one that will be optimized for SEO and conversions!
The price for a new website largely depends on how many pages you want to start with and the functionality you want there, but our average price range is $2,000 to $4,500, including web design, copywriting, development and setup on your hosting of choice. We want to help your business, so we keep this price as low as possible, so you can invest in your traffic – a part that will actually get you calls.
