Most small businesses run ads or try SEO and wonder why neither is delivering what
they expected. The reason is simple: they're running one channel at a time, in isolation, with no
connection between them.
Effective lead generation doesn't come from a single channel. It comes from a connected traffic
system where your SEO, Google Ads, and Meta campaigns work together, reinforcing each
other, covering every stage of the customer journey, and delivering leads consistently.
At Curve Communications, we build these systems for Vancouver small businesses and clients
across Canada. We handle local SEO, Google Search Ads, Meta/Facebook campaigns, Google
Business Profile optimization, and retargeting. All managed as one integrated strategy.
Here's how a qualified lead actually finds your business, and why every channel matters.
A potential customer might see your Facebook ad on Monday. They search your business name on
Google on Wednesday. They read your reviews on Thursday. They call on Friday.
That journey crosses multiple channels. A single-channel strategy misses most of it.
A connected system captures all of it.
Search engine optimization builds the kind of visibility that compounds over time. When your business ranks at the top of local search results, including in Google Maps, you're capturing people who are actively looking for exactly what you offer. No ad spend required.
We optimize your site's technical foundation, target the right local keywords, build your Google Business Profile, generate reviews, and build citations that strengthen your presence across Vancouver and beyond.
Over time, SEO lowers your cost per lead across every channel and builds the trust signals that convert traffic into customers.
Google Search Ads put your business in front of people who are actively searching for your services right now. Not people who might need you someday. People who are ready to buy today.
We build and manage Google Search and Display campaigns focused on high-intent keywords, strong ad copy, and conversion-optimized landing pages. Every dollar is tracked. Every click is measured. We turn off what's not working and scale what is.
Not everyone searching for your services knows they need them yet. Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) let you get in front of the right audience before they start searching, building familiarity, generating demand, and keeping your business top of mind.
We build targeted Meta campaigns that reach your ideal customer profile, run retargeting to re-engage visitors who've already shown interest, and create lookalike audiences to reach new potential customers at scale.
Local SEO optimization: on-page SEO, technical fixes, content optimization
Google Business Profile management: setup, optimization, and ongoing updates

Meta/Facebook & Instagram Ads: audience targeting, creative, campaign management
Retargeting campaigns: re-engage website visitors across Google and Meta

Citation building & cleanup: consistent business listings across the web

Monthly reporting: leads, conversions, and ROI, not just clicks and impressions
Ongoing campaign optimization: continuous refinement to improve results over time
When your SEO, Google Ads, and Meta campaigns share a unified strategy,
the whole system performs better than its individual parts.
SEO lowers your cost per click: the stronger your organic visibility, the more efficiently your paid ads convert
Google Ads deliver data that improves SEO: your best-converting search terms inform your organic keyword strategy
Meta Ads warm up cold audiences: people who've seen your Meta content are more likely to click your Google Ads and convert on your website
Retargeting closes the loop: visitors who didn't convert on their first visit are re-engaged automatically
Reviews built through SEO increase ad conversion rates: social proof makes every channel work harder
This is why we don't sell SEO as a standalone service. It's most powerful
when it's part of a system.

We work with established small businesses in service industries where lead generation
is the primary marketing objective. Businesses where a phone call, form submission, or
booked appointment is worth real money.
Home services and trades looking to dominate local search in their service area
Healthcare and wellness clinics building a steady flow of new patient inquiries
Real estate and professional services firms competing in high-intent local search
Retail and hospitality businesses running geo-targeted awareness campaigns
Non-profits and associations building online visibility across BC and Canada
Most clients begin seeing measurable movement in local rankings within 60-90 days. Significant lead flow improvements typically develop over 3-6 months, with results continuing to compound from there. SEO is a long-term investment. The ROI is cumulative and durable in a way paid advertising alone can't match.
They serve different purposes and work best together. Google Ads deliver leads immediately while your SEO builds over time. Once your organic rankings are strong, your cost per lead across the whole system drops. We recommend the right mix based on your budget, timeline, and competitive market.
We work with a range of budgets. In most competitive Vancouver markets, effective Google Ads campaigns typically require a minimum of $1,000-$2,000/month in ad spend. We'll be direct with you in the strategy call about what's realistic for your goals and budget.
Yes. Google Business Profile is one of the most important local SEO assets for any small business. We set it up, optimize every field, manage your category and service listings, support review generation, and post regularly to keep your profile active.
Absolutely. We use geo-targeting in both Google Ads and Meta Ads to focus your budget on the service areas most valuable to your business, whether that's specific Vancouver neighbourhoods, the Lower Mainland, or a broader BC and Canada-wide reach.
