See what our clients have to say about our SEO services.
This site had poor-quality links from previous SEO companies and was hacked for several months.
To fix that, we cleaned up the site and improved the on-page and technical SEO elements. We also did high-quality off-page and outreach work.
In 12 months, we took this client site from 232 organic visitors a month to 933.
On the left, you can see the site’s current rankings in Google, along with the lifetime ranking improvements for the most important keywords.
This client went from not ranking in the top 10 pages to ranking #1 for most of their keywords – in under 12 months!
In terms of new traffic from Google, that’s the difference between 9 and 244 new visitors a month!
We created this site strictly for testing. Our tests were successful and the site outranked all of the competitors.
According to Google’s Keyword Planner, this keyword was only supposed to get 90 searches per month. But on average, we were getting 25 – 75 inbound phone calls per month from this website.

The bottom line is this: if you don’t make a great ROI, you won’t continue to hire us month after month. We’re only looking for long-term relationships, so if we don’t think we can get you a great return on investment, we won’t take you on as a client to begin with. To ensure the sustainability of our agency, we prefer to take on new clients for whom we’re confident we can generate an ROI of at least 100%. That being said, many clients see a 200% – 500% return on our services.
Our only goal is to help you succeed. Most SEO companies base their packages on specific tasks that will be accomplished. In contrast, our SEO services are based on the results we will achieve for you. If your project turns out to take twice as much effort as we expected, that’s on us. We work until you rank. End of story.
Do you ever wonder which of your advertising dollars are generating revenue for you, and which are wasted? With our proprietary call tracking and Analytics software, you can see exactly where your new clients are coming from. Track customers through every step of the sales process. With this information, you can determine which advertising campaigns should get scaled, and which should get cut.
We don’t base our business on loopholes that get your website ranking on the first page with today’s algorithm, only to be de-indexed soon after. Our methods are aligned with Google’s core values, and we look forward to new algorithm updates. New updates typically weed out sites using questionable SEO practices and help our clients’ sites move up in search engine results pages.
OUR CLIENTS:
If you would like your website to generate more sales, you’re in the right place. All of our services are based on increasing the number of visitors to your website and increasing the conversion rate of your website. In short, increasing your sales. Not all of our services are for all businesses, but you don’t need to figure it out on your own.

You can also fill out our short application form, and we’ll walk you through our services. Find out what kinds of results you could realistically expect over the short and long term. We factor in the level of competition in your industry and the number of search volumes for relevant keywords.
With our single site SEO service, our goal is to rank your website first in organic search results. We aim to make your site rank for as many related keywords as you’d like to target. To accomplish this, we do keyword research, along with ongoing on-page and off-page SEO.
The monthly cost for this service varies greatly; it depends on the competitiveness of your market and the number of verticals you’d like to rank for. This is a great option for small to medium-sized businesses that are just getting started with SEO or have limited marketing budgets. Our single site SEO service is the full extent of what most Winnipeg SEO companies offer.
For local search terms, Google often displays a pack of three local results near the top of the page with a map. On a mobile browser, these listings have a call button located directly on the search results page. In January 2014, mobile search volumes surpassed desktop search volumes. This made showing up in these local results more important than ever.
The algorithm used to determine which businesses are displayed in these local listings is completely different from the algorithm used in organic results. Our Local Business SEO service is provided as an add-on to our other SEO services, since onsite optimization is required for both organic rankings and Google Places rankings.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million. Through Video SEO, we leverage the selling power of video marketing with the distribution power of SEO. Our video SEO service includes the optimization of high-quality promotional videos. We then upload these videos to YouTube and rank them on the first page of Google.
Search engine domination is an SEO strategy that leverages all of our other SEO services and more. The purpose of search engine domination is not only to rank your website at the top of page one, but to push your top competitors down the page.
Imagine if the first three results on the page belonged to your business. Every first page position that belongs to you pushes a competitor onto the second page. Since the majority of people have a very limited understanding of SEO, if there are five first page results related to your business, people will assume that your business is the most reputable. In addition to your website and YouTube videos, we can rank Yelp pages, Facebook pages, Twitter profiles, LinkedIn profiles, business directory listings, and more.
Do you have a negative review or news article that’s showing up on the first page of Google? Online Reputation Management (ORM) is similar to search engine domination, except we rank properties for your brand keyword instead of industry-related search terms. Since brand terms are far less competitive than product or service-related keywords, we can fill all 10 of the first page positions with properties owned by you, and push the negative press onto page two.
There is much more to internet marketing than SEO. Search engine optimization is a great way to bring traffic to your website, but how do you make that traffic convert into paying customers?
Most business websites we see are great online brochures. Unfortunately, great information and graphics aren’t enough to turn people into buyers.
On average, only 2% of people make a purchase on their first interaction with a business. 80% of sales are made on the 5th – 12th interaction. So, what are you doing to capture people’s information?
We build sales funnels that include:
Our goal for our integrated marketing clients is simply to increase revenue. Traffic generation is only half of the equation, and with this service, we generate traffic and make sure it converts.

Karen Kundel
Working with Jacob and the team at First Rank made a noticeable difference in how our business showed up online. Their work helped us attract more of the right clients, and I believe it contributed to a strong position when it came time to sell.
Tiffany Baird
Before working with First Rank, we had virtually no online presence; we simply weren’t showing up where we needed to be. Their team helped us achieve and maintain top search rankings that made a real difference to our business. The increase in qualified leads and overall revenue growth not only benefited us operationally but also added clear value when it came time to sell the company. In fact, when we sold, the marketing team of the acquiring company (a large national brokerage) even commented that we were outranking them in some areas. First Rank’s work was an important factor in achieving a strong outcome on exit.
Iqbal Brar
Jacob and his team were fantastic to work with. They did an excellent job redesigning our website, and we’re absolutely thrilled with the results. The process was highly collaborative, and they were always receptive to our feedback. We would highly recommend working with the team at First Rank SEO.
Richard Olschewski
The First Rank team created new business opportunities every day. Their services are worth their weight in gold. I would recommend them to any business that wants to increase traffic to their business.
Karen Armstrong
I just had an amazing intro call with Donnie! He is so helpful and actually took the time to review my website and provide valuable feedback and suggestions. What I admired the most is his level of honesty and genuine care to add value. Oh.. and the fact it was a comfortable conversation vs high pressure sales pitch like I’ve had with other companies I have had calls with!!
I have a few things to do before I’m ready to proceed but I am excited now and very much looking forward to further exploring what’s possible!
Thank you Donnie for your time, upbeat energy, generosity and interest in my business and how you can help me help others!
Harjit Grewal
I had a great experience working with Donnie Glennie and Matt Wire at First Rank.
During our initial call, Donnie really took his time to understand our business, our ideal client profile, target markets/cities, the outcome we were looking for and the monthly financial budget we were working with. He then went away and conducted a competitor analysis and looked into the number of monthly search results for our key search terms. He then gave his recommendation and a realistic timeline for seeing organic SEO results versus launching a PPC campaign, during a follow up call. I appreciated his transparency and straight forward approach as the route he recommended was designed to give us the most impact and was well within our monthly budget.
Based on his recommendations we instructed First Rank to set up a set of PPC campaigns which delivered exceptional results well within our monthly marketing budget. Matt provided ongoing tweaks to the campaigns as well as detailed monthly reports showing which search terms were performing best and where clients were visiting the site from.
Besides their undoubted expertise, we felt that First Rank really cared about our business and were fully committed to delivering a successful outcome.
If you are considering starting an online marketing campaign, we highly recommend First Rank.
First of all, I’d like to congratulate you on taking action. One of the few guarantees in business is that if you don’t take action, you will not succeed. The fact that you’re on my site tells me that you’re ready to take action and you’re serious about growing your business. Before we start working together, I’ll want to know a lot about you and your business. To start, I’ll tell you a little bit about myself.
I started my first online business in 2005, long before the inception of this Canadian SEO Company. Then, I started developing and selling multiple internet-based businesses, ranging from promoting national brands for commissions, to sourcing and reselling physical products to creating and marketing digital products. Over the last decade, I’ve acquired a comprehensive understanding of the most effective traffic generation and conversion optimization techniques for selling online.
Although these businesses provided a great source of income throughout university, I decided I wanted to do something more meaningful after I graduated from the Asper School of Business with a double major in Marketing and Entrepreneurship.
At the time, I was selling the same products that hundreds of other online stores were selling. However, I was making more sales because I was better at online marketing than most of my competitors. The problem was that my customers were already searching for and ready to buy the products that I was selling. I made the sales because my site showed up first. If my website didn’t exist, these same customers would have found another store and still purchased the product.
In reality, I wasn’t providing any added value to the manufacturer or the purchaser; I was just getting paid because my website had the most visibility.
After reading No B.S. Direct Response Marketing by Dan Kennedy, I began to realize how much of a difference my skills could make to local brick-and-mortar businesses. The book (which I highly recommend you read if you haven’t) is about direct marketing for non-direct marketing businesses.
One of the biggest mistakes most local businesses make is imitating the marketing strategies of big businesses. Throughout business school, I continually heard that “the purpose of advertising is to alter attitudes, not behaviours.” This may be true for a company like Coca-Cola that can afford to spend a million dollars on an ad to keep their brand in our evoked set, but for a business with a limited marketing budget, every dollar spent on advertising should be accountable for an increase in profit of more than a dollar.
The purpose of First Rank is to help businesses generate leads from their websites. We put a focus on SEO because we believe it is one of the most cost-effective and highest-converting forms of traffic generation. However, traffic alone is not enough on its own to grow your business. SEO should be combined with conversion optimization, email marketing, web design, and retargeting to maximize the ROI of your advertising dollars.
