When the 2021 Census asked about the language spoken most often at home, 96,275 of 209,040 Richmond residents gave English alone and 95,675 gave only another language. 75,690 named a Chinese language: 37,000 Mandarin and 36,515 Cantonese. 21,870 residents can speak neither English nor French.
For many businesses in Richmond, Chinese pages are worth the effort. Ask your clients which written Chinese they read, then have a fluent writer prepare your main service pages in it. Say in your Google listing which languages your staff speak, and reply to each review in the language the customer used. Put your phone number and a booking link on every language version.
The City's reports to council counted 17,367 business licences on file in the first quarter of 2026. 14,451 were valid, 2,071 had expired and 845 were waiting on an application or a change. Richmond issued 2,105 new licences in 2025 and 437 more in the first quarter of 2026.
Each new licence is one more name a customer may weigh against yours. Keep your listing current: add photos when the shop or the menu changes, post holiday hours ahead of time, and answer every review, kind or unkind. If your own business is new, set up the Google listing before opening day, with the right category, real photos and a working phone number.
Richmond's Official Community Plan has area plans for City Centre, Steveston, Bridgeport, Hamilton, East Cambie and West Cambie, and the City Centre maps name villages like Brighouse, Aberdeen, Capstan and Lansdowne.
If you serve several of these areas, write one page for each area where you truly work, with details only a local business would know: parking near your Aberdeen office, a Steveston kitchen you renovated, how soon you reach Hamilton. One honest page per area helps a customer more than a long list of place names at the bottom of the home page.
Each fact links to the page where we read it.
We write a page for each area you serve, for example:
Their listing or website answers the search more clearly than yours. Richmond issued 2,105 new business licences in 2025, so new names appear all the time. Compare the two listings: category, photos, hours, reviews, and a website with the same name, address and phone. Then fix what yours lacks. The free Get Found Check compares your Richmond site with theirs and names the missing pieces.
Write one for each Richmond area where you actually take customers. The City's plan names City Centre, Steveston, Bridgeport, Hamilton, East Cambie and West Cambie, and people know them by those names. Each page needs facts from that place, such as a job you finished there or the route to your door. Skip any area you do not serve.
Ask your own customers, because Richmond has large groups of both. The 2021 Census counted 37,000 Richmond residents who speak Mandarin most often at home and 36,515 who speak Cantonese. Ask which written Chinese your clients read, have a fluent writer prepare your main pages, and say on your Google listing which languages your staff speak.
Show who you are and how you work before the first call. In Richmond, 21,870 residents can speak neither English nor French, so list the languages you speak in your Google profile and on every page. Add a page for each service, a photo, your licence details, and short answers to the questions clients ask at the first meeting.
It can, when the facts about your business are easy to read and the same everywhere. AI assistants such as ChatGPT gather what your website, Google listing, reviews and directories say. We write your services, the Richmond areas you cover and the languages you offer in short, plain sentences, and each month we check whether ChatGPT mentions you.
No, you keep it. We bring your Richmond website onto our platform with its design, its pages and its address, which protects what Google has already learned. It goes live on the new platform in two weeks. Then we fill the gaps with service pages, area pages and Chinese pages if you want them, and we keep adding every week.
Read the short report we send each month. It lists how many people phoned, wrote or booked through your Richmond website, and from where they arrived: Google search, Google Maps, ChatGPT or a directory. The language is plain, the numbers are yours, and we answer any question about them.
In less than a minute it gives your Richmond website a letter grade. It shows how well Google and AI answers can read your services and areas, which repairs to start with, and how you stand against businesses that compete with you. It is free, with no account needed, and a fresh check after each change shows the difference.
Keep giving customers fresh reasons to choose you. Richmond issued 2,105 new business licences in 2025 and 437 in the first quarter of 2026. Add new photos, answer reviews within a few days, update your hours before holidays, and write a new page when you add a service.
The Get Found Check is free and takes under a minute. It shows what customers see about you on Google and in AI answers, and what to fix first.
