North Okanagan
SEO and Web Design for Silver Star, BC
Silver Star is twenty-two kilometres up the hill from our Vernon office, and village businesses live by one moment: when a skier or mountain biker picks up a phone to find a place to stay, eat or rent gear. We make sure your lodge, restaurant, rental or shop is the one they find, in both seasons.
What getting found at Silver Star really takes
Most of your customers aren't searching from Silver Star. They're searching from Calgary, Edmonton, the Lower Mainland and Vernon, days or weeks before they arrive, with phrases like "ski-in ski-out condo Silver Star" or "where to eat at SilverStar". Then they search again once they're in the village, boots on, phone out. That's two jobs: a website that wins the planning search, and a Google Business Profile that wins the "near me" search on the mountain.
Seasons shape everything up here. Winter brings skiers to the 132 runs and Nordic skiers to the trails next door at Sovereign Lake, and summer brings mountain bikers and hikers once the lifts reopen at the end of June. Your Google photos, posts and hours should change with the season, your booking path has to work on a phone with cold fingers, and your reviews need to keep coming all year, not just in February.

Tourism businesses we already work with
We help tourism and hospitality businesses across the North Okanagan get found, from restaurants and visitor-facing shops in Vernon to a destination marketing website in Lake Country. The playbook is the same: a profile that's complete and current, pages built for how visitors search, and reviews that keep coming. Read how it plays out in our case studies.

Map results on the mountain are a small pond, so a complete, active Google profile can move up within a season. The planning searches from out of town take longer, usually six months or more, because you're up against the big booking sites. We go after both at once and tell you honestly which will land first.
Yes. Our office is in downtown Vernon, twenty-two kilometres down the hill, and Brooklyn, our B2B sales rep, is out across the North Okanagan regularly. We're happy to meet you in the village, ideally on a quiet weekday.
Both, on separate pages. One page for winter and one for summer lets Google match each season's searches, and lets you swap the homepage feature when the lifts change over.
For the planning searches, sometimes. For your own name and for searches made in the village, absolutely. Direct bookings save you the commission, so we make the book-direct path on your site short and obvious.
