What should I look for in a marketing agency in Ottawa?
Look for real, checkable results, clear pricing and plain reporting. Ask who will do the work and how often you will get updates. Be careful with anyone who guarantees rankings, because Google says no one can guarantee a number one position. You can compare our approach with the checklist above.
How much does marketing cost for a small business in Ottawa?
Digitalise publishes its packages on the pricing page, in Canadian dollars. Marketing packages are Starter at C$999, Growth at C$1,499 and Premium at C$1,899. SEO-only plans are C$999 and C$1,199. The right fit depends on your goals, so we confirm details on a free consultation.
How long does it take to see results?
It depends on the channel. Paid ads can send visitors soon after launch. SEO takes longer, and Google says changes can take anywhere from a few hours to several months to show up. A good agency sets realistic expectations and shows progress in regular reports.
Should I choose SEO or paid ads?
SEO improves your website so you can show up in search and maps over time. Paid ads put you in front of people sooner, but the traffic stops when the budget does. Many businesses use both, and we help you decide the right balance for your goals.
Should I hire an agency or someone in-house?
One in-house hire gives you a dedicated person, but marketing needs several skills at once: strategy, design, web, ads and reporting. An agency gives you a team of specialists for one monthly cost. Many small businesses start with an agency and add in-house staff later.
Do you work with small local businesses?
Yes. Our published case studies include Ottawa Valley Pools, two denture clinics and a food business. Each one wanted more local visibility and more enquiries, which is a goal most small businesses share.
Can you help my business show up in ChatGPT and Google AI answers?
We offer AEO and GEO services for this. Google says there are no extra requirements for AI Overviews and AI Mode beyond standard SEO basics, and nobody can guarantee a mention in an AI answer. What helps is clear, accurate pages and up to date business details. In our Ottawa Valley Pools case study, service pages also appeared in AI Overview results for selected searches.
