Why it matters here

Okotoks Keeps Growing, But Your Next Customer Doesn't Know Your Name. Yet.

About 2,600 more people live in Okotoks than five years ago. They don't know who the good electrician is, where to get a decent haircut or which bookkeeper picks up the phone. So they search the internet, or ask AI.

The businesses that show up get the call. The ones that don't are a well-kept secret, no matter how good the work is. Signal + Site exists to fix exactly that, for the businesses that make this town run. Local supporting Local.

What we do

SEO and websites: the signal and the site

Imagine creating a masterpiece, then hanging it in your home. Only the people you invite over will ever see it. That's your website right now. To bring in clients, it needs to be suggested by search engines and AI to the people looking for the services you offer. The masterpiece belongs in a museum.

A well designed site that nobody finds is a missed opportunity, and great Search Engine Optimization pointed at a site that doesn't convert becomes a loss. You get both pieces, from the same person, and the work doesn't stop at launch.

The Signal

The technical work that helps put you in front of them to begin with.

  • Google Business Profile set up and kept sharp, so you show up in Google Maps
  • The technical groundwork Google reads: page titles, site structure, structured data and speed
  • Content that answers what people in the Foothills actually search for
  • Built so Google and AI search can clearly understand who you are, what you do and where you work, improving how they suggest you in results
SEO

The Site

A website that earns the call once someone lands on it.

  • Designed and built from scratch for your business, no page-builder template
  • Fast on a phone, because that's where your audience is
  • Written so a stranger knows what you do, where you do it and how to reach you
  • Contact forms and quote requests that land in your inbox

Where

Serving Foothills & Calgary

Home is Okotoks. The work reaches up and down the Highway 2 corridor and west into the hills, and anywhere else over a video call.

Who you'll deal with

One Person. Start to Finish.

I'm Alex Richinski. I build every Signal + Site website myself, along with the SEO work. The person on the first call is the person doing the work.

No account managers and no hand-offs. When something needs changing, one message gets it straight to me.

Questions People Ask

Do you only work with businesses in Okotoks?

No. Okotoks is home, and most of the work is across the Foothills and Calgary: High River, Diamond Valley (Black Diamond and Turner Valley) and the city. Anywhere else in Canada works too, over a video call.

What's the difference between web design and SEO?

Web design is the site: how it looks, how it reads and whether a visitor picks up the phone. SEO is the signal: the work that helps put the site in front of people searching Google Search, Google Maps and AI tools like ChatGPT. One without the other is half the job, so Signal + Site does both.

Can you do SEO on the website I already have?

Yes. If your site is sound, SEO can go on top of it. If it's holding you back, you'll hear that straight, along with what it would take to fix it.

Does SEO help with ChatGPT and Google's AI answers?

It's part of the job now. AI tools pull from sites they can read and trust, so the work covers clear answers on your pages, structured data and making sure your business details match everywhere they appear online.

What happens after the site launches?

The work keeps going. Your site is hosted for you, SEO is ongoing month to month and site care covers updates and fixes as your business changes. You're never left with a site and nobody to call.

What kind of websites do you build?

Everything from one-page sites to full builds, including e-commerce stores & full web development.

Who actually builds my website?

Alex Richinski, the person you talk to on the first call. There's no hand-off to a junior team or outsourced agency.
