The Speed Train started with a simple mission: to optimize websites for speed and performance. But as our clients saw results, those quick wins turned into deeper partnerships — managing their websites, guiding strategy, and helping them grow.
That’s how The Speed Train got its name: once momentum starts, we keep building it.
From those beginnings, we grew from a family-owned Canadian business into a growth agency with global clients. Today, we partner with entrepreneurs, e-commerce brands, and service providers across North America, Europe, and beyond — helping them scale from 5 figures to 7 figures and beyond. Through long-term partnerships, in-house expertise and training the next generation of digital entrepreneurs, we stay true to our roots while driving measurable growth worldwide.
We believe in partnership, not transactions.
















Divernet didn’t just need a nicer website. It needed a digital foundation strong enough to support a major brand evolution, a large content archive, and international growth.
Armeen’s Cake needed a website that felt as polished and inviting as the brand itself, while also giving the business a better platform for customer engagement and ongoing growth.
Inclusive ASL had strong services and a meaningful mission, but its digital presence needed to do more than inform. It needed to support visibility, usability, and growth.
Working with Pooya and The Speed Train has been a game-changer for our roofing business. He completely redesigned our WordPress website, organized and showcased our roofing portfolio and made the site load faster and look more professional. Beyond design, he provides monthly SEO consulting, and helped us generate new leads through LLM networks and by optimizing our Google Local Services Ads. Since working with him, our Google rankings have improved and we’ve seen a real increase in qualified roofing leads. Highly recommend Pooya if you want results-driven website and SEO support for local contractors.
I took delivery of my website today. I am very happy Pooya's professionalism, expertise & patience! Looking forward to our future collaborations!
Customer service and after sales support are great - they were able to accomodate some last minute requests without pushing the delivery date. Recommended.
The Speed Train has been able to re-vamp our outdated and overloaded website. We have been working with them for about 5 months now and we have completely made a new website that is better optimized for SEO, more updated and modern look and are now integrating AI and automation to make our sales workflow more seamless. Very happy with the work Pooya and the Speed Train team have been able to provide.
It’s been over four years working with The Speed Train, and they’ve truly helped transform how we operate at Mitra Salon. Their team redesigned our website, made booking appointments a breeze and really stepped up our SEO game — our online presence has never been better! I'm especially grateful for their ongoing growth consultations and outstanding communication, which have been instrumental in our growth. Highly recommend!
I have worked with Pooya now going on 9 months and he has been nothing by kind to me and I really feel taken me in as family based on our interactions and how he does business. My website traffic performance when we first starting working together was in free fall. In just a couple of months my website traffic had bottomed out and we started moving up in the rankings. One of the best parts is that it was completed all by the book. Some call it white hat SEO but I call it redesigning a website with a great user experience, quality content, optimized products for those shopping on the website, and an easy where for visitors to find what they are looking for. The secret Google recipe is to create a good website and not to game the system. Pooya reads SEO blogs, studies the Google SEO handbook to be sure he is keeping up with the most recent trends, algorithm updates, and building a website that Google feels is the best for the customer. That mark is always changing with algorithm updates but by building a good site in the right manner you can feel secure sleeping at night even with Google updates because the search engine optimization is completed in the most ethical way. Alright, so to finish this up I am going to say that my website is my livelihood and prior to meeting Pooya every SEO company I worked with was always trying to game the system and looking for fast results. Many would sandbag results just to keep the money rolling in with little to no results and many times negative results. So, I would love to keep Pooya a secret but others deserve to receive the proper treatment when it comes to SEO. And to get emotional for a moment... To make the internet a better place.
I'm thrilled with 'The Speed Train'! They expertly set up my website and provided innovative digital solutions that drove real results and growth for my online business. Their expertise, creativity and passion for digital excellence shine through. Prompt, friendly and knowledgeable support too! A reliable partner for elevating your online presence. Five stars isn't enough. They're a game-changer!
Whenever I have a problem with my website for my non-profit organization I send an email to speed train and they always respond very quickly . I have been working with them for a couple of years now and I'm very happy with the service I received.
Pooya and the Speed Train team have been instrumental in our company’s growth and a dependable resource for success. Prior to using The Speed Train, I cycled my company through multiple SEO sources, all promising growth and a strong online presence. After years of run-of-the-mill services that were rushed, lacking in innovation and simply ineffective, I was beginning to think it was hopeless. SEO companies would run generic reports, show meaningless graphs to insist their approach was working, and provide irrelevant solutions. All the while, our online presence remained static and our Niche market was completely unaware of our existence. On the contrary, with The Speed Train we were able to organically grow our online presence with strategies that made sense for our industry. The Speed Train team listened to our goals and concerns, and took a customized approach to our SEO and website development. My company has seen incredible growth since bringing on The Speed Train team.
Have worked with The Speed Train a few times now and have been so impressed! Pooya is a pleasure to work with and really wants to get things done right to improve your site. Would highly recommend for any website/Shopify help.
Pooya was a pleasure to work with! He doesn't stop until it's right. His work is truly impressive. My site runs smoother and faster thanks to his recommendations and efforts. Appreciate his work so much! Book with him! You won't regret it.
Every extra second your site takes to load costs you traffic, conversions, and trust. A sluggish website isn’t just bad for users — it’s bad for Google SEO, AI visibility and your bottom line.
- Slow servers drag your site down, no matter how good your design is.
- Unoptimized code & heavy assets create friction that drives visitors away.
- Poor Core Web Vitals mean Google ranks you lower and AI platforms skip over your content.
- A fast competitor site will always win the click.
- Server-level optimization (faster hosting, caching, CDN like Cloudflare)
- Asset + code cleanup for leaner, faster performance.
- Core Web Vitals tuning so you meet (and beat) Google’s benchmarks.
- AI-ready structure so your content loads fast enough to be indexed everywhere it matters.
The digital world moves fast. Between SEO updates, AI platforms, and shifting algorithms, one question remains: where should you focus? Our blog cuts through the noise with clear answers to the questions business owners are asking right now.
