How does the FIRME growth diagnostic work?
The diagnostic is done online, in 8 short steps, grouped below into 6 main blocks. You give the name of your business, your city and your goal. FIRME then looks for the public data about you, and asks you a few simple questions about your marketing and your sales.
- Your verified profile: contact details, business profile, reviews and social networks found online.
- Your nearby competitors: businesses of the same type near you, their ratings and their reviews.
- Your competitor analysis: what they offer that you don’t, and your advantages.
- Your website audit: speed on phones, clarity of the offer, contact and local SEO.
- Your marketing and your sales: five tap-to-answer questions, then three about following up with your customers.
- Your result: the AI connects all these facts to set your growth score, your #1 priority and your first 3 actions, free.
A diagnostic powered by artificial intelligence
FIRME uses artificial intelligence where it is truly useful: identifying your business’s exact niche, picking your real competitors among nearby businesses, summarizing what your customers and your competitors’ customers say in their reviews, then ranking actions by your goal, your budget and your time. The questions also adapt to your type of business: a restaurant, a clinic and a contractor don’t get the same ones.
The AI never works alone: it starts only from verified facts and every finding shows its source. Your complete action plan is then reviewed by a marketing expert before it is sent.
Why small businesses use FIRME
A small business owner mostly lacks time. They know they should improve their Google profile, their website or their posts, but they don’t know what to do first. FIRME answers that question with verified facts about your own business, not general advice. Every finding cites its source: your business profile, your website, your reviews or the real competitors in your area, and the AI connects them to find what matters most.
The diagnostic stays free. If you want to go further, the FIRME subscription ($47 CAD per month) gives you the complete 90-day action plan and all the tools in plan.firme.ca. Your website on FIRME is free. It is reviewed by a marketing expert and activated in your space within 3 business days.
To go further: the official Google Business Profile help and the Google PageSpeed Insights, which FIRME uses to measure your website’s speed.
Who is it for? Shops, restaurants, salons, clinics, garages, contractors and service firms across Canada and the US.

Yes. The complete diagnostic is free and doesn’t require a credit card. Only the FIRME subscription ($47 CAD per month) is paid, and it is optional.
