Courtenay anchors the Comox Valley and serves a mix of long-time residents, retirees, and the steady influx from CFB Comox families. Search volume is small but buyer intent is high. The territory winner is usually the business with the most Comox Valley-tagged content — reviews from named clients, photos of jobs in specific neighbourhoods (Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland), and AI-search citations referencing the valley.
What we'd do for restaurant in Courtenay
Restaurant search is split between local pack (booking intent), AI search (recommendation intent — 'best [cuisine] in [city]'), and reservation platforms (OpenTable, Yelp). Most independent restaurants we audit have weak Google Business Profiles, no Posts, no menu uploaded as text (just PDFs Google can't read), and reviews they never respond to. Fix those four things and the rest follows.
Specifics adapt to the business. This is the general shape — the actual 90-day plan comes out of the audit we run before signing.
