CAN-TAP solution path

Local SEO Strategy for Canadian Small Businesses

Local SEO has 3 pillars: on-page (your website), off-page (backlinks), and Google Business Profile (reviews). Most small businesses neglect the GBP pillar because getting reviews is awkward and manual. CAN-TAP automates the asking part with NFC hardware that customers tap. Pair that with CAN-TAP’s free SEO backlink program and you have a complete local SEO stack.
