Norpoint has protected Canada’s pipelines, tanks and vessels for 30 years. Online, buyers couldn’t find them. A new website, monthly SEO and AI SEO put Norpoint’s pipeline terms on page one, took it to #1 for mobile sandblasting in Alberta, and made it the contractor Google’s AI Overview names for industrial coatings across Western Canada and Ontario.

30+ years in coatings
BC to Ontario

Their work was national. Their search presence was not.

Norpoint Industrial Coatings is a Calmar, Alberta contractor with 30+ years protecting pipelines, tanks, vessels and structural steel against corrosion. Mobile field crews and a shop-and-yard facility serve oil and gas, petrochemical and municipal clients from British Columbia to Ontario, to AMPP, SSPC, NACE and CSA standards.

Buyers searching for industrial coating contractors across Canada rarely found Norpoint, and the old site, still carrying the Norpoint Engineering name, gave Google little to rank.

Approach

We rebuilt the site around how buyers search.

One team handled the website, the monthly SEO and the AI SEO, so every change pointed at the same goal: put Norpoint in front of the people who buy industrial coatings, on Google and in AI answers.

Website

A new site built around how buyers search

We rebuilt norpoint.ca as Norpoint Industrial Coatings, with a dedicated page for each service a buyer might search for: field coating, pipeline construction and maintenance, tank painting and vessel services, sandblasting, shop services, coating inspection and pro painting, plus FAQs, careers, case studies and a blog.

AI SEO

Found in AI answers

From January 2026 we audited how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews describe Norpoint, then strengthened the signals they rely on: named credentials (ISO 9001:2015, CSA Z245.30, AMPP and NACE), approved-operator lists, clear service pages and a consistent brand. GA4 now tracks AI-assistant referrals as their own channel, so the result is measured, not guessed.

Results

Wins came early. And kept building.

Norpoint didn’t wait a year for results. Within three months, the site was cleaned up and showing in a third more Google searches. By February it was #1 for “mobile sandblasting Alberta”. SEO builds on itself, so each month added to the last: clicks to key service pages rose as much as 700%, its core pipeline terms reached page one, and Google search now brings in 45% of all site visits.
