The Lazor blog · Field notes
What marketing actually costs, in numbers.
This blog answers the questions owners actually type into Google: what SEO costs in Canada, what a website should cost, what a missed call is worth. Every post opens with the direct answer, uses the same published figures as our price list, and links to the service page it belongs to. No listicles written for other agencies, and no numbers we cannot show the working for.
Direct answer first, every post
Same prices as the price list
01The short answer
Direct answer
The Lazor Digital blog is a working notebook for Canadian small-business owners, in four topics: prices and budgets, local industry guides, AI and automation, and the prairie marketing calendar. The first two posts, the Canadian cost guides for SEO and for websites, are live below. The next eight are listed in the open, in the order they will be published.
02Categories
Four topics, each with a job
Service pages cannot rank for every question a buyer asks. The blog exists for the questions they cannot carry: prices, comparisons, how-tos and local specifics.
C.02 · LOCAL GUIDES
Local industry guides
Marketing by trade and city: plumbers in Winnipeg, clinics, contractors. The service and city playbooks, written from local numbers instead of generic advice.
C.03 · SYSTEMS
AI & automation
The follow-up layer, in plain terms: missed-call recovery, AI receptionists, review systems, and what GEO means for getting your business cited by ChatGPT.
C.04 · SEASONS
Prairie calendar
Manitoba demand is seasonal, and the calendar decides when campaigns have to be live. When home-services searches spike, when the freeze changes the phone mix, month by month.
03Published
Live now: the two cost guides
The cost guides publish first, because price questions carry the highest commercial intent: the reader is not browsing; they are budgeting.

Eight posts are briefed and queued. They are listed here without links, under the same rule as our unbuilt city hubs: a title becomes a link when the page exists.
