How To Review

If you want the fastest first pass, start with the 6 recommended pages, then work through the rest by section.

Why these pages

Andrew, Amber — a quick note on why we built what we built. Your online orders average $593 vs. $131 in-store — 4.3x the ticket. Online share grew from 4.6% to 17.7% over the past year without any content investment. The opportunity is clear, but right now almost none of that organic traffic converts to a tracked sale.

We audited every major Canadian firearms dealer online — Marstar, Switzer's, GTA Guns, Gotenda, GunPost. None of them publish educational content. Zero blog posts, no guides, no schema markup. Government sites dominate search results, but they give owners regulations, not practical next steps. That gap is wide open.

These 28 pages are designed to fill it — positioning Everything Old as the dealer who actually explains what owners can do, especially before the October 30, 2026 amnesty deadline. Pages published now reach ranking strength by July, giving us a 90-day window of peak relevance right when owners are searching hardest.

Start With These

If you want the shortest first pass, start with these 6 pages.

Why these 6 first

These pages sit at the intersection of highest search demand and strongest competitive moat — topics where Andrew's prohibited-firearms licence, Firearms Verifier certification, and 15 years of hands-on experience make Everything Old one of very few dealers in Canada who can speak with authority. Competitors can't create these pages even if they wanted to.

The moat

Most of these pages target keywords below Google Keyword Planner's reporting threshold — meaning we can't quote a monthly search number. We built them anyway because the logic is different here: these topics require a prohibited-firearms licence and direct regulatory experience to cover credibly. There are maybe two or three dealers in Canada who could create these pages, and none of them have. The competitive advantage isn't volume — it's that nobody else can write these. Each card below explains why that specific page exists.

See whether your handgun is 12(6), what transfer options still exist in Canada, and when to contact Everything Old before you make the wrong move.

Moat play. Below KP measurement threshold, but EO's 12(6) authorization is a key differentiator — only a handful of dealers nationwide can handle these transfers. When a 12(6) owner searches, they need to find a dealer who actually has this authorization. That's EO.

Province Pages

Why only 2 provinces

We originally planned 10 province pages. Then we pulled keyword data: measured search volume for province-level gun dealer queries was effectively zero across 8 of 10 provinces. Publishing thin pages with no demand behind them risks a Google "doorway page" penalty that would drag down your entire site — including the collection pages that drive actual revenue. Ontario and Nova Scotia are the only two with confirmed search intent.
