Hi Tim and Phil,
Tim — thank you again for taking the time to meet with us today and share
your insights. It was very helpful!
Phil — as a next step, could you please share a list of priority SEO
keywords for Canada? If possible, it would be great to have them further
localized by each of the five regions: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal,
Winnipeg, and Calgary. These lists will help us ensure each post is
optimized for both national and local search performance.
Getting these early next week will allow us to move quickly and keep to the
August delivery timeline.
Thanks both,
Natalya
