Here’s what we did to achieve these results
We followed a 7-step strategy, starting with the website itself.
Keyword Research and Competitor Analysis
Before any design work began, we studied the search market for staffing in Canada. We used different tools to find what employers were searching for, and analyzed the national and local agencies ranking for those terms.
The findings were clear. Broad terms like “staffing agencies in Canada” were held firmly by legacy brands. However, industry-specific searches and searches from smaller cities had far less competition. We built our plan around these low-hanging opportunities first, with the aim of moving to competitive terms once the website had earned trust with Google.
Website Redesign with Content Built In
The old website was not presentable and gave search engines very little to work with. We collaborated with BITS Recruiting to redesign it, and wrote the content while the design was in progress rather than after it.
This meant every page was planned around a clear search intent, with a primary keyword, supporting keywords and a logical place in the site structure. The new website went live in February 2026.
Industry Pages
Each industry BITS Recruiting serves got its own dedicated page. These pages were not generic. For each industry, we covered the roles and functions BITS hires for, the hiring challenges employers in that sector face, and how BITS solves them.
This level of detail is what search engines and AI tools look for.
Localized City Pages, Not Templates
Every city page was written for that specific location, reflecting its local job market, the industries that drive hiring there and the kind of talent employers in that city need.
Content for Enterprise Decision-Makers
BITS Recruiting’s target audience is HR leaders and hiring managers at mid-size and large enterprises. We worked closely with the BITS team to plan blog topics that answer their real questions.
Technical SEO and AI Readiness
We made sure Google could crawl, understand and index every important page. Heading tags, meta titles and descriptions, image alt text, canonical tags and internal links were set up across the website.
We added Organization, Local Business and Service schema to the location pages, kept the sitemap and robots.txt file up to date, and resolved indexing issues reported in Google Search Console. Together with detailed page content, this has helped BITS Recruiting appear in AI-generated answers.
Business Directories and Google Business Profile
We are consistently listing BITS Recruiting in relevant business directories, making sure the name, address and phone number match the website exactly. Alongside this, we publish helpful articles on trusted content platforms to build brand mentions and links.
The Google Business Profile is updated regularly with posts and accurate business information. Together, these efforts strengthened BITS Recruiting’s local presence in Mississauga.
