## Key pages
- [Home](https://ontario.business/): Ontario.Business helps owner-run Ontario companies decide where growth will come from, then builds the marketing and follow-up to get it. You get senior advice, plain numbers and no lock-in.
- [Services](https://ontario.business/services/): Start with the service that fixes your biggest constraint. For most Ontario owners that is a clear plan; for some it is the website or local visibility. This page helps you choose.
- [Areas](https://ontario.business/areas/): We work with owner-run businesses anywhere in Ontario. Because buyers, seasons and competition differ so much between regions, we plan each one on its own terms.
- [About](https://ontario.business/about/): Ontario.Business is the Ontario-focused consulting arm of the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group. It is led by Ali Sedighi, MBA, and built for owners who want senior advice without agency overhead.
- [Results](https://ontario.business/results/): Our published results come from heating and cooling companies. We show them because the methods behind them, local search, content, conversion and follow-up, apply to many Ontario service businesses.
- [Pricing](https://ontario.business/pricing/): Consulting from $175 an hour, projects from $3,500 and retainers from $2,500 a month, in Canadian dollars. The first 30-minute consultation is free and there's no lock-in.
- [FAQ](https://ontario.business/faq/): The questions Ontario owners ask most before hiring a consultant, answered plainly: cost, contracts, timing, ownership, reporting and what we won't do.
- [Contact](https://ontario.business/contact/): Call, text or email. You'll reach Ali Sedighi directly, and the first 30-minute consultation is free. Here's what to include and what happens next.

## Services
- [Advisory](https://ontario.business/services/growth-advisory/): A retainer that gives you a senior advisor every month: reviewing the numbers, keeping the plan on course and directing the marketing work where you want that.
- [Growth planning](https://ontario.business/services/growth-planning/): In three to six weeks we find where your Ontario business makes and loses money, then write a short plan with three to five targets you can check every month.
- [Local marketing](https://ontario.business/services/local-marketing/): Buyers in Ontario search town by town and often on a phone. We help you show up, and get chosen, in the places where you can deliver profitably.
- [Expansion](https://ontario.business/services/new-market-expansion/): Before you hire, lease or buy a vehicle for a new Ontario market, test demand with a capped budget and a clear stop rule. We design the test and read the results with you.
- [Conversion](https://ontario.business/services/website-conversion/): If people reach your site but don't call or buy, more traffic won't fix it. We find where visitors drop off, fix those pages first and measure the change.

## Coverage
- [Barrie–Simcoe](https://ontario.business/areas/barrie-simcoe/): Barrie is growing, its boundaries just expanded, and the 16 Simcoe County municipalities around it range from GTA commuter towns to lakeside cottage country. Plan each part on its own terms.
- [GTA](https://ontario.business/areas/gta/): The GTA has the most buyers in Ontario and the most competitors chasing them. Owner-run firms win here by choosing a few districts and owning them, not by trying to cover the whole map.
- [Hamilton–Niagara](https://ontario.business/areas/hamilton-niagara/): Between Hamilton and the Niagara River sit a large city, a region of 12 municipalities, busy tourist strips and quiet rural townships. Each part rewards a different growth plan.
- [Ottawa](https://ontario.business/areas/ottawa/): Ottawa is one city on paper and several markets in practice. Kanata, Barrhaven, Orléans, the core and the rural wards each need their own approach, and many buyers expect French.
- [Waterloo–Guelph](https://ontario.business/areas/waterloo-region-guelph/): Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph sit within a short drive of each other but behave like four different towns. A good plan uses that closeness without pretending they're one market.

## Guides and articles
- [Guides](https://ontario.business/guides/): Three long-form guides that let you do much of the planning yourself: a growth plan template, a plain-language tour of marketing rules, and a scoring method for expansion.
- [Next Ontario market](https://ontario.business/guides/choosing-your-next-ontario-market/): Before you expand to a second Ontario city, score the candidates on five factors, test the winner with a capped budget, and decide on the results. This guide shows how, with a worked example.
- [Marketing rules](https://ontario.business/guides/marketing-rules-ontario/): Three federal rule sets shape how Ontario businesses can market: anti-spam law, privacy law and the Competition Act. Here is what each covers, where to read the official text, and the habits that keep you on the right side of them.
- [One-page growth plan](https://ontario.business/guides/one-page-growth-plan/): You can write a useful growth plan in an afternoon with last year's numbers. This guide walks through the six steps we use, with a worked example and a blank template.
