Atlantic Canada · East Coast

Web design & local SEO for Atlantic Canada.

Presence builds mobile-first websites and improves local search visibility for small businesses across New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, and Newfoundland & Labrador. Custom design, honest local SEO, and ongoing care — no templates, no long contracts, no fake promises of first place.

Who this is for

Small businesses that need to be found — not just have a website.

If you run a restaurant in Halifax, an inn on the Cabot Trail, a trades company in Saint John, a boutique in Charlottetown, or a tour operator on the Avalon, we build the site that turns Google searches and Instagram taps into real customers. Every project starts with a free audit, so you know where the gap is before you spend a dollar.

What we do

Websites, redesigns, local SEO, and ongoing care.

  • Website design & rebuilds

    Custom, mobile-first designs. Nothing built on a template. Redesigns keep the pages Google already trusts.

  • Local SEO across Atlantic Canada

    On-page location signals, one page per real service, and content that names the town or region — not keyword soup.

  • Google Business Profile

    Categories, service areas, photos, and posting habits set up right. We don't guarantee first place; we make sure the fundamentals are honest and complete.

  • Mobile performance & Core Web Vitals

    Real speed on real phones — the ones people use on rural or ferry Wi-Fi. Images sized properly, fonts loading without blocking, no unused JavaScript.

  • Hosting & Monthly Care

    Backups, updates, small edits, uptime monitoring. Plans from $50 CAD/mo. Cancel anytime.

  • Conversion improvements

    The button, the phone link, the form — the details that decide whether the visit turns into a customer.

Who we work with

Industries we know on the East Coast.

  • Restaurants & cafés

    Menus that load in one second, real photos, and reservation flows that don't lose the booking.

  • Tourism & hospitality

    Sites that convert visitors reading on a phone from Toronto, Boston, or the UK — before they land.

  • Trades & home services

    Clear service pages by town, quote forms that don't leak leads, and Google Business Profiles set up properly.

  • Retail & boutiques

    Fast, mobile-first shops with real product photos and honest pickup / shipping details.

  • Professional services

    Clinics, accountants, real estate, law. Trust-first design and booking that works.

  • Seasonal operators

    Sites that shine in-season and quietly do the work in the off-season so next year starts warm.

Where we work

All four Atlantic provinces.

We're based in Moncton and work remotely with local operators across the region. Every project is tuned to the town, not the country.

New Brunswick

Moncton, Dieppe, Riverview, Fredericton, Saint John, Shediac, Sackville. Presence is based here, so most of our client base is bilingual English/French-friendly, small, and local.

Nova Scotia

Halifax, Dartmouth, Truro, Sydney, Wolfville. We work with restaurants, tour operators, trades and professional services — the same playbook, tuned for a bigger metro and the South Shore visitor economy.

Prince Edward Island

Charlottetown, Summerside, and the tourism belt. PEI's short, intense season rewards sites that are ready and profiles that never went quiet in the winter.

Newfoundland & Labrador

St. John's and the Avalon, plus visitor-facing businesses across the province. Time-zone friendly, and we're set up to work remote with local operators who need someone who returns their emails.

How we work

A short, honest process.

  1. 01

    Free audit

    You send the current site or profile. We send back the specific gaps — no upsell, no obligation.

  2. 02

    Scope & fixed quote

    A written quote with pages, timelines, and what's included. Priced at start — no surprise invoices.

  3. 03

    Design draft

    You see the actual site (not a mockup) before we build it out. Feedback in your own words.

  4. 04

    Build & launch

    Usually 1–3 weeks. Redirects and analytics handled. You keep the domain, the content, and the code.

  5. 05

    Optional Monthly Care

    Backups, updates, edits, uptime. From $50/mo CAD. Cancel anytime.

A note on rankings

Local map results are decided by Google based on relevance, distance from the searcher, and the prominence of a business. Rankings can shift day to day. No agency, Presence included, can honestly guarantee a first-place map result. What we can promise is that the fundamentals — your site, your Google Business Profile, your review habit — will be done properly.
