Independent SEO expert · British Columbia
Hi, I'm Alireza Kiyanmanesh. I help BC businesses get found on Google.
People nearby are searching for exactly what you do, and they keep finding someone else. I work directly with owners to change that, through local SEO, technical fixes and content that answers real questions.
Services
What I can help you with
Most businesses don't need more SEO. They need the one or two fixes holding everything else back, and a clear order for the rest.

Urgent searches, seasonal spikes, and a Map Pack that decides who gets the call.

About me in 30 seconds
Five years in SEO, from in-house to independent
I started by leading SEO and content for a fintech company, managing a team of 10 to 12 writers. Then I spent two years on Canadian client sites for a Vancouver agency before going independent in 2026. I work in English and Persian, and build some of my own tools, including the daily rank tracker I use for reporting.

FAQ
Common questions
What business owners ask most on a first call.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes can show up in weeks once Google recrawls your site. Ranking for competitive local searches usually takes months, depending on your competitors. After the audit I'll give you a realistic estimate for your market instead of a generic number.
Do you only work with businesses in BC?
Most of my clients are in British Columbia and Ontario, and I also work with businesses elsewhere in Canada and the US. The local SEO pages on this site focus on BC cities where I have real experience.
Can you work with my current web developer?
Yes. I can hand over clear, prioritised tickets to your developer, or make changes directly in WordPress if you prefer.
Not sure where to start?
Book a short call. I'll look at your site before we talk, so the time goes into real issues rather than a sales pitch.
