1997 was a note from the IIAS team reflecting on progress with Fraser Valley clients, websites launched, SEO campaigns refined, and local businesses helped get found online.

What we were focused on

Around this year, our work centered on practical digital marketing: clearer websites, stronger local SEO, and advertising that actually produces enquiries.

Why it still matters

Small businesses still win when their website loads quickly, explains the offer clearly, and shows up for the searches people actually type. Those fundamentals have not changed.

Key takeaways

Use these checkpoints to turn 1997 into action:

  • Focus on pages that match real customer questions, not just keywords.
  • Improve titles, internal links, and local signals before buying more content.
  • Track rankings and leads monthly so you know what to double down on.
