Questions before hiring a marketing agency in Canada
What can a digital marketing agency do for my small business?
It helps a business win customers online: getting found on Google and Google Maps, making the website convincing and, when it pays off, running ads on Google or social media. We do SEO, Google Ads, web design, social media and AI search optimization (getting ChatGPT and Google's AI to name you) and coordinate them toward the same goal: more calls, messages and inquiries.
How much does a digital marketing agency cost in Canada?
It depends on what your business needs, so we don't publish rates: a five-page site and an online store are different jobs, and so is SEO for one city versus a whole province. After the free audit you get a fixed quote in Canadian dollars, in under a week and with no obligation. The website is paid once it's live; monthly work is month to month, and ad spend goes straight to Google. More on how we quote.
Who's behind Scalia, and where do you work from?
Two partners, Òscar Bordetas and Carles Encinas, both SEO specialists. We're based in Barcelona, Spain, and work remotely with small businesses across Canada: you deal with both of us by email, we reply on business days (we're six hours ahead of Toronto and nine ahead of Vancouver) and you're billed in Canadian dollars.
Do you work with businesses in Quebec, and in French?
We work in English. If you do business in Quebec, your website and ads also need French, and the audit tells you which pages and campaigns that affects and how the French text would be covered, before you accept anything.
What happens if something isn't right at the end?
Before you pay, you go through the delivery item by item with your proposal in hand. If anything in it is missing or doesn't work, we fix it before you pay. If you want something different from what we agreed, we tell you first what it involves and you decide.
Tomorrow someone will search for what you do. Make sure your business is what they find.
Tell us about your business in 2 minutes. In under a week we'll send you what we found, the plan and a fixed quote you don't pay until it's done.
