Want more people to find your business online? Our global and local SEO services help your website show up when your ideal customers are searching for products or services like yours. We work on everything from on-page SEO and technical improvements to link building and local search strategies. Whether you want to reach customers in your area or grow your business across different markets, we create an SEO plan that fits your goals.
Social media is more than just posting content. It’s about giving people a reason to notice your brand, follow you, and eventually become customers. We help manage your social media presence with engaging content, regular updates, and targeted ad campaigns. From Facebook and Instagram to TikTok, LinkedIn, Meta Ads, and Google Business, we help you stay active on the platforms where your audience spends time.
Need to bring more people to your website without waiting months for organic traffic? PPC advertising can help you reach potential customers at the right moment. We create and manage targeted Google Ads campaigns designed to bring in relevant traffic, generate leads, and increase conversions. We also keep an eye on campaign performance and make adjustments along the way so your advertising budget is put to good use.
For local businesses, being easy to find on Google can make a big difference. Your Google Business Profile helps potential customers discover your business, check your services, read reviews, get directions, or give you a call. We help create, update, and optimize your profile so it accurately represents your business and has a better chance of appearing in local searches. The goal is simple: help more nearby customers find and choose you.
Search is evolving beyond traditional 10 blue links. Our Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and AI SEO services ensure your business is directly cited, recommended, and sourced across AI search engines—including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude. We optimize your entity authority, structured JSON-LD schema, direct-answer architecture, and digital citations so AI engines choose your brand as the definitive answer.
Your website is often the first place people go to learn about your business, so it needs to make a good impression. We create professional websites that are easy to use, mobile-friendly, fast, and built with SEO in mind. From WordPress development to custom website solutions, we focus on creating a site that looks like your brand, gives visitors a smooth experience, and helps turn them into customers.

We’ve seen a noticeable increase in booked jobs since they started managing our Google Ads. Ottawa is a competitive market, but they’ve been able to bring in a steady flow of real leads. I’m very happy with the results and plan to keep working with them.Posted on Google![]()

I've been very satisfied with the SEO services provided by Profit Parrot for my Toronto-based company. In under half a year, our domain authority has increased and careful research into keywords we were lagging behind revealed opportunities to increase our total traffic volume, which has grown both impressions and traffic to our website noticeably. JM was a pleasure to work with and was highly consultative, and Faiz, our account manager, was highly responsive and educational, keeping me informed and updated on important page structure strategies, Google My Business optimization, and even AI search optimization. Furthermore, they don't require long term contracts, so they earn your business and trust month after month, which is different than many marketing companies which require upwards of a 1 year commitment before even starting.Posted on Google![]()

Logan SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Profit Parrot helped us through the initial lease-up and long term stabilization of several coworking businesses, driving consistent traffic as the businesses shifted to maintain occupancy, steady revenue, and cover turnover. They worked with us on strategy, on-site execution, SEO, and Google Business Profile optimization for several years across multiple companies. JM, Lark, and the rest of the team at Profit Parrot are responsive, practical, and easy to work with. The results were clear in both visibility and lead generation. I’d recommend Profit Parrot to anyone looking for real, practical SEO and GBP support that actually drives results.Posted on Google![]()

Jean Marc and Faiz were amazing to work with. I was referred to them by a trusted colleague in the industry who spoke highly of their SEO/GMP services. They are professional and I appreciated the monthly updates to see the growth & analytics of what they were working on for me. While working with them I have noticed a steady influx of organic clientele in my business, finding us through google. Anytime I had a question they were quick to respond. Highly recommend Profit Parrot for your SEO and GMP needs. Thanks for everything.
SEO builds long-term organic growth, while paid ads drive immediate traffic and conversions. A combination of both is often the best strategy for sustainable success.
The best service depends on your goals. SEO is great for long-term organic traffic, paid ads drive immediate results, and social media builds brand engagement and customer loyalty.
The cost will vary from one plan to another. We have plans starting from $650. A total SEO plan will include strategies, on- and off-page SEO, account management, and monthly reporting. The weekly reports and documentation you’ll be provided include updates on traffic, impressions, ranking positions, and more. This will help you analyze the campaign’s success and prepare for future expansion. Through this process, you can maximize the return on your investment with our efforts.
SEO is a long-term strategy, and while it takes time to build momentum, the results are well worth the investment. Generally, it takes around 3 to 6 months for our clients to see significant improvements in their rankings, traffic, and conversions. This timeframe allows for the implementation of foundational SEO tactics, including on-page optimization, technical improvements, and high-quality content creation.
Paid ads are online advertisements—like Google Ads or social media ads like Meta—where you pay to appear in front of your target audience. They’re great for quick results, like boosting sales or promoting a new product, because you can control who sees them and when.
Paid ads give you instant visibility but stop when you stop paying. SEO builds lasting traffic over time but takes longer to kick in. Many businesses use both for a balanced approach—short-term wins with ads and long-term growth with SEO.
An Ottawa SEO company helps businesses improve their visibility on Google, increase organic traffic, and generate more leads through search engine optimization strategies.
No. Profit Parrot operates on a 100% month-to-month, contract-free agreement with no mandatory 6-to-12-month lock-in retainers
We use 100% manual, white-hat outreach to real, relevant websites and industry publications. Depending on the campaign, this may include local, national, or international websites. We strictly avoid Private Blog Networks (PBNs), automated link blasts, and other manipulative link-building tactics.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing your website so AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite your business as the direct answer to user queries. Profit Parrot optimizes your brand entity, schema markup, and authoritative citation footprint to ensure maximum visibility in AI-driven search.
Profit Parrot differs by offering 100% contract-free, month-to-month SEO and white-hat link building led directly by founders Lark and Jean-Marc Begin, eliminating the risk of long-term agency retainers.
While traditional SEO focuses on ranking in standard search engine results pages (SERPs), AEO optimizes your brand's entity signals, schema, and content so AI models like ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend your business as the direct answer.
As an Ottawa SEO company, we start by getting to know your business, your goals, and the people you want to reach. From there, we create a practical SEO plan and put it into action. We keep things clear, straightforward, and focused on helping your business grow.
