Montreal Agency
Montreal marketing built for a bilingual market.
Montreal is Canada's second-largest market — and the only major one where a single-language strategy leaves half the audience on the table. Between Quebec's French-language requirements for commercial websites, a thriving AI and gaming tech scene, and one of the country's strongest e-commerce and fashion bases, Montreal rewards businesses that get the details right. We build search-first campaigns that work in both languages — from Ville-Marie head offices to Mile End startups — and turn search intent into measurable revenue.

Why Montreal is different
Bilingual campaigns double the work
Every keyword list, ad group, landing page, and negative list exists twice in Montreal — once in French, once in English. Agencies that machine-translate English campaigns waste budget on queries Quebecers never actually type.
French-language website requirements
Quebec law requires commercial websites serving the province to be available in French, with French displayed at least as prominently as other languages. Many Montreal businesses are running English-only sites that create both legal exposure and a conversion gap.
Treated as an English afterthought
Toronto agencies routinely run Montreal as a geo-extension of their English campaigns. The result: weak Quality Scores on French queries, no presence in French search results, and half the market handed to local competitors.

What makes us different
Accounts touched every business day
Monthly check-ins don't cut it in a two-language market. We adjust bids, mine search terms in both languages, and test copy every single business day.
No percentage of ad spend
We never take a percentage of your ad budget. Growing your spend benefits you — not our invoice — and every dollar goes to performance.
Visible in AI search, both languages
Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity answer Montreal queries in French and English. We structure your content so it gets cited in both — not buried in either.
Marketing run by engineers
Sub-second Next.js builds, structured data from day one, and proper hreflang for bilingual sites. Technical depth most agencies outsource, we do in-house.

Common questions
No — our offices are in Toronto and North Vancouver, and we serve Montreal clients remotely. Montreal shares Toronto's time zone, so strategy calls, daily optimization, and support all happen on your schedule, with a real-time dashboard you can check anytime.
Yes — keyword research, campaign structure, ad copy, and optimization can all run in French, and we build bilingual accounts with properly separated French and English campaigns. To be transparent: we're not a native French content studio, so for long-form French content production we work with your in-house team or recommend a Quebec copywriter while we handle strategy and execution.
Quebec's Charter of the French Language (strengthened by Bill 96 and overseen by the OQLF) requires commercial websites serving Quebec to offer French versions, with French at least as prominent as any other language. We build bilingual sites with proper localization and hreflang from the start. We're marketers, not lawyers — for compliance specifics we recommend confirming with legal counsel, but our builds are designed with these requirements in mind.
Our pricing is public — our pricing page lists the real starting price for every service, and every plan is scoped to your business and goals. Tell us what you need and we'll send a tailored proposal with transparent pricing, usually within 48 hours. No contracts, and a 30-day guarantee — pay only if satisfied.
In many categories, yes. Less English-language competition and a partially bilingual auction often mean lower CPCs than the GTA for comparable keywords — especially in home services, e-commerce, and professional services. The catch is that capturing the full market requires running French campaigns properly, which is exactly where most accounts fall short.
E-commerce and DTC brands, restaurants and hospitality, SaaS and tech companies, professional services, and local service businesses are our strongest fits. Montreal's fashion, retail, and AI/gaming ecosystems map well to the search-first strategies we run every day.
