Web design in Dartmouth, for businesses on this side of the harbour.
Dartmouth searches return a different set of names than Halifax searches do, even for businesses ten minutes apart. If your site says Halifax and you work out of Burnside or off Portland Street, you are competing in the harder market and missing the easier one. This page is for Dartmouth, Nova Scotia businesses that want one website company to handle the design and the development, from Burnside to Cole Harbour.
Dartmouth, Burnside and Cole Harbour $800 to build Then $99/mo
Dartmouth is its own search market, and that is an advantage.
A great many Dartmouth businesses market themselves as Halifax businesses. It is understandable and it usually costs them the results they would have won at home.

Common questions from Dartmouth business owners.
The ones that come up when a business is deciding whether to market itself as Dartmouth or Halifax.
Q.01Should my site say Dartmouth or Halifax?
Both, in the right places. Name Dartmouth on the pages about the work you do here, because those are the searches happening closest to you and the ones with the least competition. Say plainly elsewhere that you cover the whole region so nobody rules you out over the bridge.
Q.02Do you build websites for Burnside businesses?
Yes, and they usually need a different shape from a consumer site. Buyers, property managers and general contractors want scope, capability and a named contact rather than lifestyle photography, so the site is built to answer those first.
Q.03Will customers in Halifax still find me if I target Dartmouth?
Yes. Naming Dartmouth on your service pages does not remove you from Halifax results, it adds the searches you were previously losing. What costs you visibility is a site that names neither and hopes for the best.
Q.04Do you cover Cole Harbour and Eastern Passage as well?
Yes. If those are genuine parts of your service area they are worth a real page each rather than a line in a list, because people search them by name and a page with something specific to say about the area will outrank a mention.
