Why Your Kamloops Business Needs SEO in 2025

If you're not showing up on Google when potential customers search for your services, you're losing business to competitors who are.


Here's why SEO is critical for Kamloops businesses:


  • Dominate Local Search: When someone in Kamloops searches "plumber near me" or "best restaurant in Kamloops," you want to be in the top 3 results. That's where 75% of clicks go.


  • Compete with Bigger Cities: Kamloops businesses often compete with Vancouver, Calgary, and even US companies for online attention. Smart local SEO levels the playing field.


  • 24/7 Lead Generation: Your website works for you even while you sleep. Proper SEO turns your site into a lead-generating machine that attracts qualified customers automatically.


  • Better ROI Than Paid Ads: Unlike pay-per-click advertising that stops working when you stop paying, SEO delivers long-term results that compound over time.



  • Build Trust and Authority:  Businesses that rank highly on Google are perceived as more trustworthy and established than those buried on page 3.

FAQs About SEO, AI, and Getting Found Online

What is the difference between traditional SEO vs AI Search Engine Optimization?

Traditional SEO gets you ranked. AI SEO gets you quoted.


Search is changing. People now ask full questions, and AI tools give them instant answers - by pulling info from websites like yours.


But here’s the twist:


Clicks are down, citations are up. AI pulls your content into its answers - even if no one visits your site. Multiple sources get blended. You’re either part of the answer... or left out completely.


Being clear, helpful, and quotable is the new SEO superpower.


So yes - ranking is great. But being AI-friendly? That’s next-level visibility.

Do I need both: traditional SEO and AI SEO?

In the new digital reality of search, yes, you need both. The hybrid plans Elite Marketing Projects offers Traditional SEO and SEO for AI Overviews.

How fast will I see results?

Generally, traditional SEO shows traction in 3–6 months. AI can generate spikes in weeks. We had a client who showed up in local AI Overview within 3 days! Scroll down to read the Case Study.

Elite Marketing is awesome!! Their SEO is fantastic! My retail fashion business is thriving and it has a lot to do with the work they do.

I am day spa business owner and our website wasn’t being found on Google search. I booked a consultation with Elite Marketing Projects (Elena) to hear their suggestions on how to start showing higher in search results. She suggested search engine optimization of the website and blog articles to add to our website. This company has awesome blog writers! Thanks to the combination of these 2 services we booked, we are finally visible! Business is growing and now we also use pieces of the blog articles for our social media.


Thank you for everything you do for my business!

Elite Marketing built a great website for us earlier this year. Everyone compliments us on it!


We are now using them for search engine optimization SEO and we are already improving our rankings and getting clicks. Our niche is highly competitive and we are impressed with their work. It is also very easy to communicate with them, always replying fast and truly caring for their clients. They only recommend services that we need, and not the entire line of services they have. It is so refreshing to work with a company that we can trust will not upsell us when it's not in our company interest.


We highly recommend Elite Marketing! We've had a great experience with them.

Case Study: Getting Elite Events BC into AI Overview for Bartending in Salmon Arm

SEO for AI Overviews Success Story

Overview

Elite Events BC, a Kamloops-based event planning company offering mobile bartending services, was already serving weddings and events throughout Salmon Arm, Merritt, and Kamloops. However, despite their presence in the area, Google’s AI Overview wasn’t recognizing or citing them for relevant searches - especially around bartending services in Salmon Arm.


About the Client

Elite Events BC is a well-established wedding and event planning company based in Kamloops. In 2022, they expanded their offerings to include mobile bartending services for weddings, corporate parties, and private events across the region.

The Challenge

While Elite Events BC had a growing reputation and real experience bartending in the Salmon Arm area, they weren’t showing up in AI Overview search results - specifically for terms like “bartending in Salmon Arm.” As bartending was a newer service under their brand, they were now competing with vendors who had been ranking and referenced for much longer.

Even with consistent work on traditional SEO, the business was being overlooked by AI-driven search tools.


Goals

To get Elite Events BC cited in Google’s AI Overview for bartending-related searches in Salmon Arm.
