Meet Michael

Hi, I'm Michael Coombe.

Founder · Lead Local SEO

I'm based right here in Vancouver. After 18 years building 7-figure businesses and mastering digital growth across SEO, Google Ads, and Meta campaigns, I created this agency with one mission: help great local businesses get found, trusted, and chosen.

We don't just get you on the map — we turn your online presence into a lead-generating machine. Whether it's ranking #1 in Google Maps, running high-ROI Meta Ads, optimising your website for conversions, or leveraging AI for smarter targeting, we build custom strategies that actually work in 2026.

Let's get you seen. — Michael

Why we exist

We built the agency we wished existed.

Most local business owners have the same story. They signed with an agency, got locked into a contract, and were handed off to a junior they never met. Months went by. The reports arrived full of impressions and rankings — numbers that looked busy but never turned into a single phone call. Sound familiar?

Lead Local SEO is the opposite of that. We keep our roster deliberately small so every client gets real focus, and Michael builds and runs your strategy personally — no outsourcing, no overseas teams, no middlemen. When search shifted from ten blue links to Google Maps, AI Overviews and ChatGPT recommendations, we shifted with it. Today we combine local SEO, AI search (AEO/GEO), paid ads and conversion into one system with a single goal: more customers, more revenue, and a business you can actually grow.

We don't think you should have to take a risk to find out if we're the right fit. That's why there's no contract, and a 1st-month money-back guarantee. If you're not happy in the first month, you get your money back — no questions asked. We'd rather earn your business every month with results.

The Lead Local difference

Three promises we actually keep.

One expert, start to finish

Michael builds your strategy and does the work — no outsourcing, no junior hand-offs. The person who plans your growth is the one you actually talk to.
