Port Hardy is the service town for the North Island, with the BC Ferries terminal at Bear Cove for the Inside Passage run to Prince Rupert, commercial fishing and aquaculture, and the trails at Cape Scott and the North Coast Trail. A site here has two audiences: residents who already know you, and travellers deciding on a patchy signal, often the night before a sailing. I would put your hours, location and phone number at the top of every page, and keep the pages light enough to load on a weak connection.
I work out of Ucluelet, at the other end of Vancouver Island, so we would talk by phone or video and handle revisions by email. Port Hardy and the west coast share a pattern: a busy season, and visitors who check you on a phone before they arrive.
It changes the priorities. Someone arriving the night before a sailing wants your hours, your location and a way to book or call, all on a phone, so those go at the top of every page, and the pages are built to load fast on a weak signal rather than to show off.
Yes. A lot of Port Hardy businesses serve the whole Mount Waddington region, and the site can be written around every community you work in, rather than pretending your customers all live inside town limits.
Yes. For a North Island business the work covers two groups: residents searching nearby, and travellers planning a ferry crossing or a Cape Scott trip from somewhere else. Acuity Local SEO is from $149/month on a 3-month first term, and no one can guarantee rankings.
