First Page SEO

Based in Orillia, First Page Digital works with trades and home service companies across Simcoe County and Muskoka, including Barrie, Collingwood and the surrounding area. The agency is run by Stephen Roome, who has a background in the trades — having grown up around a custom home building company and worked on construction crews — combined with a marketing degree and 14 years of SEO experience, most of it focused on trades and home service businesses. Industries mentioned include fencing, roofing, landscaping/hardscaping, and bathroom/kitchen renovation companies. Team size is small, at 1-10 people. Services centre on local SEO, including Google Business Profile management, local landing pages and a reviews strategy aimed at helping companies appear when homeowners search for services in their area. Google Ads campaigns are built around lead value, with the stated aim of keeping cost-per-click aligned with what a job is worth. The agency also offers website design intended to convert visitors into phone calls, described as fast and simple rather than heavily designed. A further service is AI search optimization, aimed at influencing how tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI answer questions about who to hire. The agency offers a free visibility audit comparing a company's search rankings against competitors before any engagement.
