MRC SEO Consulting

Based in Calgary's Killarney area at 4911 30 Ave SW, MRC SEO Consulting has worked with local businesses since 2010, when founder Mike Chrest established the company. The team, sized at 1-10, focuses on search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising, and digital strategy for a range of sectors including therapists, oil and gas companies, lawyers, contractors, HVAC and siding/exterior businesses, e-commerce operators, and other small businesses across Calgary and, through dedicated service pages, in Vancouver, Kelowna, Edmonton, Victoria, and Red Deer. Clients work directly with Chrest rather than through a rotating account team, and the agency holds Google Partner certification and a BBB A+ rating. Service delivery starts with a site audit and market research used to build a strategy tied to specific ranking opportunities rather than fixed keyword packages. Core offerings include local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, technical SEO audits, AI search optimization, content marketing, email marketing, social media marketing, and web design, alongside PPC and broader digital strategy work. For multi-location clients, the agency has built geo-targeted landing pages and addressed citation inconsistencies across directories. Reporting is issued monthly and tracks rankings, traffic, leads, and conversions, with adjustments made when results fall short. Described project outcomes include moving a service contractor into the Map Pack and increasing organic traffic, and resolving structured data and thin-content issues to move a professional services client from page two to page one.
