The Online Exterminator — SEO

How a Quebec store opened English Canada with 7,250 organic clicks

A second language is not a translation job. It is a second search market, with different competitors, different phrasing, and no inherited authority.

Timeline

11 months — 2025-2026

01 — The challenge

Entering Ontario from Quebec, with none of the French site's authority.

The Online Exterminator is the English-language face of the same Quebec business that sells professional-grade pest-control products online. The French store had years of accumulated authority. The English one started with none of it.

Worse, Ontario is a different competitive set. The French store's rankings transfer nothing, and English pest queries are contested by national retailers and service brands operating at a completely different scale.

“My French customers found me years ago. In Toronto I am a stranger competing with names people already trust, and translating my product pages was never going to fix that.”

So the English store was built as its own property, not as a mirror.

02 — Our approach

A separate English footprint, built for Ontario phrasing and geography.

The English store was treated as a distinct property with its own keyword research, because English-Canadian pest terminology, product naming and regulation language do not map cleanly onto the French originals.

Geographic coverage was pointed at Ontario specifically — Toronto and the surrounding region — rather than at "Canada" in the abstract, which is where the impression volume came from.

Eleven reported months, no prior year, so absolutes only. The French store's figures are reported separately on its own case study and are never blended into this one.

03 — What we did

Independent English research, Ontario geography, no translation shortcuts.

A second market treated as a second business.

Independent keyword research

Refused to translate the French site

English-Canadian pest terminology and product naming were researched from scratch, because translated French keywords describe searches nobody makes.

Ontario geography

Targeted a region, not a country

Toronto and surrounding Ontario were the focus, which is what produced 639,058 impressions on a new domain footprint.

Product-page substance

Gave the English store its own reason to rank

Treatment guidance was rewritten for the English market rather than mirrored, so the pages compete on merit against national retailers.

Separated reporting

Kept the two storefronts apart

The French store's established figures are published on its own case study. Nothing is blended, and this property is reported in absolute figures.

04 — The results

Eleven months: 7,250 organic clicks in a market entered from zero.

Period covered: the eleven months with reported data through Jul 31, 2026. No prior-year comparison exists for this property.

Source: Google Search Console and GA4 via AgencyAnalytics, client property (ID withheld) — Search Console clicks and impressions for the English property only; the French store is reported separately. Organic only; paid traffic excluded.
