Emicode makes your website findable and keeps it running, from $400 CAD. That covers technical SEO, keyword research, competitor analysis, and content optimised in your own tone of voice — plus managed Canadian hosting so the site stays fast, secure, and visible in both Google and AI search. We're a web development studio based in Winnipeg.
Who This Is For
Getting found and staying online is ongoing work, not something you do once and forget. This service suits businesses that:
- Have a site that's losing it's positions in search, loading slowly, or throwing errors
- Don't actually know what their customers type into a search bar, and want the keyword and competitor research to find out
- Need their pages optimised for search engines
- Care about showing up in AI search tools not just the traditional Google results
- Would rather hand off Canadian hosting entirely and have it run on Canadian infrastructure
- Want one team responsible for both search visibility and the technical health of the website
What's Included
Technical SEO. Crawlability, site speed, structured data, semantic markup, and on-page issues that quietly hold rankings back — found, prioritised, and fixed.
Keyword research. We find the words your customers actually use, to target real demand.
Competitor analysis. A clear read on who you're up against in search, what's working for them, and where the openings are for you.
Content optimisation. We work the right keywords into your pages while keeping them in your business's voice — content that explains what you do to customers, not keyword-stuffed filler made for an algorithm.
Blog content writing. Where you need it, we write posts that are built to rank and worth reading, so publishing actually builds your search presence instead of sitting there.
GEO — AI search readiness. We structure and mark up your site so AI search tools can understand and cite it, not just traditional search engines (more on this below).
Managed Canadian hosting. Your site hosted, monitored, patched, and secured on Canadian infrastructure, with performance monitoring that catches slowdowns early instead of after they've cost you.
GEO: Getting Found by AI Search
Search isn't just a list of blue links anymore. Tools like Google's AI overviews, ChatGPT, and other AI engines increasingly answer the question outright — and they pick which sites to understand and cite based on how clearly each one is structured. Generative engine optimisation (GEO) means building and marking up your content so those engines can read it, trust it, and quote it. The technical grounds that feed GEO — fast, well-structured, properly marked-up pages with clear, accurate content — is the same groundwork that feeds traditional SEO. That's why we build for both Search and Generative engines from the start.
How It Works
- Assessment. We audit the site's technical health, speed, search findability, and hosting setup, then run keyword and competitor research to see where the opportunities are. You get a prioritised list of findings.
- Setup. We fix the technical issues, optimise the content you already have, and migrate hosting to managed Canadian infrastructure if needed.
- Ongoing work. Monitoring, updates, security, technical SEO maintenance, and content as agreed, on a monthly basis.
- Reporting. Regular, plain-language updates on what is done, how the site's performing, and what's next.
What Drives the Price
SEO, GEO, and managed hosting start at $400 CAD. What moves the number: the size and complexity of your site, the hosting resources it needs, how deep the SEO and content work goes, and whether it's a one-off audit or ongoing management. We lay out exactly what's included before anything starts — no unexpected expenses.
What We Don't Do
To be clear about where the line sits: we make your own site and content findable and clear. We don't run paid ad campaigns, buy backlinks, or manage social media. If you decide you want that kind of marketing later, your site will be in shape to make it work — but it isn't what we sell.
FAQ
No. We take on SEO, GEO, and managed hosting for sites we didn't build, starting with an audit so we understand what we're working with before committing to a plan.
SEO optimises your site to rank in traditional search results; GEO optimises it to be understood and cited by AI search tools. The technical foundations overlap heavily — fast, well-structured, clearly written pages serve both — so we build for both together rather than charging for them separately.
On Canadian infrastructure, which helps performance for Canadian visitors and keeps your site's data hosted within Canada — something many Canadian businesses prefer or require.
