Google Ads and paid media in Ottawa.

Google Ads and Meta campaigns for Ottawa businesses in a competitive market, built on real conversion tracking and reported in leads.

Ottawa is one of the more expensive markets in Canada for search advertising in professional services, health and home services. That makes waste costly and tracking essential. Before spending a dollar we set up measurement that follows a visitor from the ad to the call, form or booking, so budget flows to the keywords and neighbourhoods that actually produce customers.

We also run French campaigns for Ottawa clients who want the east end and Gatineau, an audience most local agencies leave to chance. Management is a flat monthly fee rather than a percentage of spend, and the accounts are yours. You get a plain-language monthly report and a live dashboard, never a forty-page PDF.

What makes the Ottawa market different

Ottawa is a crowded market for web and marketing services, and a distinctive one. Buyers include professional firms, clinics, contractors and studios competing city-wide, plus a large public-sector and tech workforce that shops with high expectations and reads in both languages. A generic template site does not stand out here.

We work with Ottawa clients from just across the river in Gatineau, which comes with an advantage most Ottawa agencies cannot offer: native French. A site that serves Orleans, Kanata, the Glebe and Gatineau in both languages reaches customers your competitors quietly ignore.

  • English-first search with a significant francophone audience in the east end and across the river
  • Dense competition in professional services, health, construction and hospitality, where reviews and page speed decide who gets the call
  • Bilingual capability is a real differentiator for firms working with government, associations and NCR-wide clientele

Questions from Ottawa businesses

Do I need a bilingual site for an Ottawa business?

It is not required in Ontario, but it is often worth it. Roughly one in six Ottawa residents speaks French at home, the east end and Gatineau are heavily francophone, and government or association clients expect it. We can build English-only and add French later without rebuilding.

Can you meet in Ottawa?

Yes. We are minutes away in Gatineau and meet clients across Ottawa, from downtown and the Glebe to Kanata, Barrhaven and Orleans, or work fully remotely if you prefer.

Do you charge a percentage of ad spend?

No. A flat monthly fee, so our advice on budget is never influenced by our own invoice.
