Web Design, SEO & Google Ads in West Vancouver

Last updated

Behnam Dehghan is a Greater Vancouver digital marketer and web developer specialising in home services and trades businesses. I help West Vancouver companies get found on Google, turn visitors into enquiries and save time with automation. I have 14 years of experience in web design, SEO, Google Ads and IT, and I work with North Shore clients in person or remotely.

Doing business in West Vancouver

West Vancouver is mostly residential, and its commercial life is concentrated in a few walkable villages along Marine Drive. Ambleside and Dundarave have independent shops, cafés, clinics, galleries and professional offices. Park Royal is the main shopping destination on the North Shore, Horseshoe Bay serves ferry traffic and visitors heading to the Sea-to-Sky corridor, and Caulfeild and the British Properties are largely residential.

That shape matters for marketing. Many West Vancouver businesses serve a small, affluent, quality-focused local market, and a lot of the demand comes from homeowners: renovations, landscaping, heating and cooling upgrades, property maintenance and high-end interiors. Customers here tend to research carefully, compare reviews and expect a polished website before they ever pick up the phone. The North Shore also has a large Persian-speaking community, and I can build and market sites in both English and Persian.

How local search works in West Vancouver

Searches here are often very specific: “renovation contractor West Vancouver”, “dentist Dundarave” or “heat pump installer North Shore”. Google shows a map pack for most of these, and the businesses in it are chosen mainly by relevance, distance and prominence. Because West Vancouver is long and narrow and borders North Vancouver, many searchers see results from both, so a well-optimised Google Business Profile, consistent listings and genuine reviews make a real difference.

Local businesses also compete with Vancouver companies that serve the whole region. A clear service-area strategy, with pages that genuinely describe your work in West Vancouver, helps you show up for the right searches without stuffing keywords. My guide to local SEO in Vancouver explains the basics.

Services for West Vancouver businesses

  • Website design and development: fast, mobile-first WordPress or custom sites with a premium feel that matches the local market, built to pass Core Web Vitals and to convert visitors into calls and bookings.
  • SEO and local SEO: Google Business Profile optimisation, technical fixes, schema markup and useful content targeted at West Vancouver and North Shore searches.
  • Google Ads: Search and Performance Max campaigns with tight geographic targeting, so your budget reaches West Vancouver and nearby North Shore customers rather than the whole Lower Mainland.
  • AI and automation: website chat assistants trained on your own content, automatic lead follow-up, CRM integrations and workflows built with n8n, Make or Zapier.
  • Custom software: client portals, booking and quoting tools, dashboards and internal apps for businesses that have outgrown off-the-shelf software.

Home services and trades in West Vancouver

My main specialty is marketing for home services and trades. West Vancouver’s housing stock includes many large and older homes, which creates steady demand for renovation contractors, HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers and restoration specialists. Homeowners here usually want proof of quality: before-and-after galleries, clear licensing and insurance information, detailed service pages and strong reviews.

For trades I typically combine Google Local Services Ads (Google Guaranteed), an optimised Google Business Profile, service-area pages and seasonal campaigns, such as furnace and heat pump service in the fall or air conditioning in summer. I also set up call tracking, quote request forms and missed-call text-back or AI assistants so after-hours enquiries are not lost.

Frequently asked questions

Do you meet clients in West Vancouver?

Yes. I work across Metro Vancouver, including the North Shore, and I am happy to meet in person when it helps. Much of the work can also be done remotely by video call.

Can you build a bilingual English and Persian website?

Yes. I speak English and Persian and build bilingual sites with proper right-to-left layout and separate SEO for each language. See my Persian web designer page.

Should a West Vancouver business start with SEO or Google Ads?

It depends on how quickly you need leads and how competitive your service is. Ads can produce enquiries within days, while SEO builds over months. My article on Google Ads vs SEO walks through the trade-offs.

How much does it cost?

Every quote is fixed and transparent, and it depends on the scope of the project. I will explain exactly what is included before any work starts.
