Metro Vancouver, BC
Metro Vancouver is in range — the work just starts differently.
Ketweb is based in Abbotsford, not downtown. For Metro Vancouver that usually means remote support first, a planned visit when the building or the hardware is the point, and business projects that never needed anyone in the room.
Coverage
- Remote sessions for software, accounts and most computer work
- In-home visits by arrangement, not as a same-day default
- Business websites, SEO and automation delivered remotely
- Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam and neighbouring cities
The distance is real. Most of the work does not care.
A drive from Abbotsford into Vancouver, Burnaby or Richmond is a planned trip, not a quick one. Treating it as if Ketweb had a Vancouver shopfront would be dishonest. Treating Metro Vancouver as out of range would also be dishonest: most of the work — a slow laptop, a mail app that will not sign in, a website, a search listing, an automation — does not require anyone to sit in the same room.
That is why the first question is whether the problem can be solved over a secure remote session. If it can, it usually is, and often the same day. If it cannot — Wi-Fi that dies two rooms away, a printer that will not appear on the network, a new TV, a home office that needs to be physically arranged — a visit is booked with a realistic window, not an optimistic one.
For your home
Home tech support across Metro Vancouver
Households here are often helping a parent in the Valley, working from a condo or townhouse, or dealing with a building that was never designed around a mesh network. The useful split is still the same: software and accounts remotely; anything involving walls, cabling or hardware in person.
- Condos and apartments
- Concrete, neighbours' networks and a modem closet at the wrong end of the unit are a coverage problem more often than a speed-tier problem. That is usually a visit.
- Townhouses and newer builds
- Often already cabled, and often with the router in a utility cupboard. Placement and a second access point typically beat a more expensive box.
- Computers, phones and accounts
- Slow laptops, new device setup, photo transfers, email and the software that broke after an update — finished remotely whenever the machine can be reached.
- Home offices
- A connection that survives a full day of video calls, plus monitors, docks and meeting audio that actually work. Remote first; a visit when the desk itself is the mess.
- Helping a parent in the Valley
- Common for adult children living in Vancouver, Burnaby or Surrey. A visit to Abbotsford, Mission or Chilliwack with notes left behind, or a remote session they can sit in on.
- Printers, TVs and the building
- Physical equipment and anything involving walls or wiring is a visit, scheduled rather than squeezed into the same afternoon.
For your business
Business work in Metro Vancouver
Websites, search visibility, automation and custom software do not need a Vancouver office. The work is the same as it is for a Fraser Valley company: a site that gives a visitor a reason to make contact, listings that match how people actually search, and follow-up that does not depend on someone being back at a desk.
Metro Vancouver businesses compete in a thicker market. Looking professional is the baseline. The work that produces enquiries is specific about services and locations, measurable, and connected to whatever happens after someone gets in touch — which is why automation and lead handling show up as often as design.
Do you actually come into Vancouver, Burnaby or Surrey?
Yes, by arrangement. Remote support is offered first when it will solve the problem faster. A visit is booked when the building or the hardware is the point, with a realistic window rather than a same-day promise.
Is Ketweb a Vancouver company?
No. The studio is in Abbotsford. Metro Vancouver is part of the service area, not a second office. That is said up front so the travel and the remote-first default are not a surprise.
I am in Coquitlam / Richmond / New Westminster. Does that count?
Yes. Metro Vancouver coverage includes the member cities, not only Vancouver proper. Ask with the city name — if a visit does not make sense for the job, that is said before it is booked.
Can a website or automation project be done entirely remotely?
Almost always. The work happens in your existing tools and on the public internet. In-person meetings are optional, not a requirement.
