Keyo Agency was born from frustration — and a spark of curiosity.

I hired a web designer to build my photography portfolio, and every time I wanted to update something — add photos, tweak a layout, change a sentence — it came with another invoice. The site wasn’t even mine. I was renting my own domain and had zero control over my business online.

That experience hit me hard. I hated feeling powerless. So I turned to YouTube, determined to figure out how websites worked. I taught myself how to design on Squarespace, and soon I was helping fellow graduates build their own sites too.

But something was missing. The sites looked great — yet no one was visiting them. That’s when I discovered SEO, a buzzword that became an obsession. I realized design meant nothing without visibility. So I went all-in, teaching myself SEO from scratch through late nights, trial and error, and years of testing.

Eventually, my photography website started ranking — and leads started coming in. Other photographers noticed and asked for help. One by one, I helped friends and peers grow their traffic and client base, and I started to see real results.

Then came a pivotal moment. I partnered with Johny Watches, a Toronto-based luxury watch retailer specializing in pre-owned Rolexes. Our goal was simple but ambitious — rank for “Rolex Toronto.” Within months, their website traffic skyrocketed from a few hundred visitors to thousands.

The results were so effective that Rolex’s corporate legal team actually sent a cease and desist letter, thinking Johny Watches was posing as an official Rolex retailer. We weren’t — we’d just optimized so well that we outranked some of Rolex’s authorized sellers. It was wild, humbling, and proof that SEO done right can level the playing field — even against billion-dollar brands.

That success sparked the official launch of Keyo Agency in 2024. What started as one referral turned into a growing list of clients across Ontario, each looking to build visibility, drive leads, and grow sustainably.

At Keyo, we combine creative perspective with technical strategy. My background in photography taught me to see from different angles — to understand how presentation, emotion, and detail connect with people. That same mindset drives how we build digital strategies: we look deeper, think differently, and focus on what really matters — helping our clients grow revenue and protect margins.

Today, Keyo partners with businesses of all sizes — from local service companies to national brands — helping them turn visibility into measurable growth.

Because when creativity meets strategy, great things happen.
