How a ENoptimize SEO Strategy Helped a Metal Fabricator Beat Tariff Losses
When shifting international trade policies and new tariffs put heavy strain on Canadian manufacturers, one Ontario-based metal fabrication company lost a significant portion of its business. Rising costs and reduced cross-border orders left them searching for new ways to reach clients, without competing solely on price. That's when ENoptimize Digital Marketing stepped in with a targeted SEO and local digital marketing plan designed to attract high-value customers in Ontario. The strategy redirected the company's efforts away from broad, low-margin bidding and toward generating a steady flow of qualified inbound leads from their core audience, including direct clients, architects, designers, and trade professionals. ENoptimize executed a targeted campaign that combined high-intent keyword optimization (focused on both industry terms and specific product categories), Google Business Profile enhancements with service area targeting, and dedicated landing pages for each core product, such as architectural panels, railings, staircases, structural components, and custom metal features. These were supported by location-specific service pages for priority regions, authoritative backlink acquisition from trade associations and industry publications, and a full restructuring of on-page SEO for the company's main product pages. Detailed project case studies and geo-targeted ad campaigns further boosted visibility among their target audience. Within six months, the company's search rankings rose for over 50 competitive industry keywords, leading to a 40% increase in domestic inquiries that could be fulfilled without prohibitive tariff costs. "Tariffs made it clear that relying on one type of client or one market was a risk,' said the owner of the metal fabrication firm. 'ENoptimize helped us completely reframe our marketing approach, and we are now working with more clients nearby who can no longer order custom metal products from the U.S. This has allowed our company to grow steadily while eliminating the challenges of shipping across the border, and our clients benefit from receiving high-quality products at a better price.' The campaign not only replaced lost revenue but positioned the fabrication company as a go-to supplier for specialized, custom projects within their region. This digital-first pivot has allowed them to maintain profitability and even expand production despite industry headwinds. About ENoptimize Digital Marketing ENoptimize specializes in helping manufacturing, fabrication, and construction companies increase visibility, attract qualified leads, and grow revenue through strategic SEO and targeted digital marketing campaigns. By combining data-driven strategies with industry-specific expertise, ENoptimize delivers measurable results that directly impact the bottom line.

‘Need immediate action': Sask. premier says Ottawa must act as China announces more canola tariffs
Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Moe speaks to media prior to the First Minister's Meeting in Saskatoon on Monday, June 2, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Liam Richards Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is pleading with federal officials to take action – as China has rolled out further tariffs against Canadian canola. China's provisional duty rate will be set at 75.8 per cent and will go into effect on Thursday. Speaking with reporters in Saskatoon Tuesday afternoon – Moe said the escalation comes at a hard time for producers – as many farmers are actively preparing or have already begun harvest. 'I was hoping that this could be avoided. That doesn't appear to be the case this morning, and so there's a shift in tone and a shift in urgency in the work that needs to happen in the days and weeks ahead,' he said. 'We need immediate action on this file. This is a significant Canadian industry,' he added. China's new anti-dumping duties mark a fresh escalation in the year-long trade dispute that began with Canada's imposition of tariffs on Chinese-produced electric vehicles last August. The new tariffs are temporary – and will be finalized after a probe into anti-dumping officially wraps up next month. The probe, launched last September, found that Canada's agriculture industry, particularly the canola sector, had benefited from 'substantial' government subsidies and preferential policies. Moe went on to say that the new tariffs not being set in stone – makes immediate talks that much more important. 'This is a temporary tariff put in place until the finalization and review of the anti-dumping report and study that they have, which, to me, is an opportunity for Canada to engage ambitiously as that report comes forward,' he explained. 'Herein lies our opportunity. Everything is temporary at the moment, let's see if we can have it removed before it becomes permanent.' China sources nearly all its canola products from Canada. Saskatchewan produces 55 per cent of Canada's canola, according to statistics from the province. Moe called on Ottawa to work with the province and begin negotiating with the Chinese – citing that the canola sector is too valuable to squander. 'I would say that our federal government cannot sacrifice a $43 billion canola industry, 200,000 jobs in that industry that is largely based, in fairness, in Western Canada to protect a fledging electric vehicle industry largely based on eastern Canada,' he said. The announcement's impact on the price of canola was already evident Tuesday. The global benchmark for canola trading – Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) November canola futures RSX5 – fell to a four-month low after the announcement. The Saskatchewan NDP believe the government should make use of its trade office in China and send a diplomatic mission to end the tariffs on canola, pork and peas. 'China is our second largest trading partner, and these tariffs have the potential to crush entire farms and communities,' Leader Carla Beck told reporters Tuesday morning. 'What's the point of paying millions of dollars for a trade office in China if we don't use the thing?' Moe says he expects to speak with Prime Minister Mark Carney in the next 24 hours. -With files from Reuters

B.C. court squelches Vancouver bylaw that forced ride-hailing firms to pay fees
Article content The B.C. Supreme Court has invalidated a City of Vancouver bylaw that imposed a fee on ride-hailing companies working on city streets during peak hours. Article content Uber Canada took the city to court over the bylaw, saying it overstepped a municipal government's power by regulating 'transportation network services.' Article content The bylaw banned ride-hailing vehicles from picking up or dropping off passengers in the core of Vancouver between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. unless they had a 'congestion and curbside management permit.' Article content The provincial government made the Passenger Transportation Board the 'centralized authority' to regulate ride-hailing in 2019, but the city later imposed the bylaw, which Uber challenged in B.C. Supreme Court. Article content Article content The court decision says the province made the changes to eliminate regulatory overlap, which the transportation minister at the time said had 'plagued the passenger-directed vehicle industry for years.' Article content The ruling says there is no 'rational pathway' for the city to claim it didn't intend to regulate the number of ride sharing vehicles operating in Vancouver with the bylaw because its stated intention was to reduce traffic congestion. Article content 'Given the specifics of this particular bylaw, it is unreasonable for the city to decide it was authorized to invoke its powers to regulate stopping on city streets to defeat the purpose and text of its governing legislation,' the ruling says. 'Therefore, the bylaw is invalid and the decision to adopt it was unreasonable.' Article content The city said in a statement that it 'respects the judicial process and acknowledges the B.C. Supreme Court's decision.' Article content
