How we work · Start with a free audit

From first call
to booked work.

Seven steps. No jargon, no lock-ins, no surprises, and the first three, including a full audit of your marketing and your competitors', cost you nothing.

The journey

Here's exactly what happens.

Scroll, the truck runs the route, from hello to booked work.

Free

Step 1

You get in touch.

A 30-minute call. You talk about your business, we listen. No deck, no pitch, no obligation.

Step 3

You get the plan and the price.

What's missing, what it'll take to fix it, and one clear quote, every service spelled out in plain English. Working with a set budget instead? Tell us the number and we'll show you exactly what it buys, and what to do first. No surprises, no pressure.

Everything above this line costs you nothing.

Step 4

We build the strategy.

Which buyers, which message, which channels, mapped and approved by you before anything gets made. Like drawings before the build.

Step 5

We create and launch.

Website, photos, video, emails, ads, made for your trade, in your vocabulary. Then it goes live where your buyers actually look.

Step 6

Leads land in your CRM.

Every call, form and quote request is captured, tracked and followed up automatically, nothing slips. You watch it happen live, not in a report.

Step 2, up close

What the free audit covers.

Not a sales brochure, a teardown. You get the same document whether you hire us or not.

  • Your website, graded. Speed, mobile, and whether an estimator can find a data sheet in two clicks.
  • Your Google & AI presence. Where you rank, where you don't, and whether ChatGPT and Google's AI mention you at all.
  • Your reviews & reputation. What buyers see in the first 30 seconds of checking you out.
  • Your 3 closest competitors, same teardown. Who's winning the searches, the specs and the bids you should be in, and how.
  • The gap list. What's missing, ranked by what it's costing you, in plain English, with a recommended order of attack.

Don't see the exact thing you need? If it's marketing for this industry, it's in scope, ask us.

What it costs

Engagements start at $5,000/month, scoped to the plan,
or worked backwards from your budget.

The audit and quote are free either way. We're not the cheapest option, and if budget is the only deciding factor, we're probably not the right fit.

The schedule

Your first 90 days.

You read construction schedules for a living. Here's ours.

Leads in your CRM

Leading indicators move in months 1-3. Spec & bid cycles pay out over 6-18. We tell you which is which, every month.

Who you'll deal with

One number to call. A full crew behind it.

Your account lead

One person who knows your business, your sector and your numbers. They answer the phone, run the monthly call, and own your results.

The specialists

Writers, designers, developers, ad buyers, shooters, pulled in when your plan calls for them. You don't manage them. Your lead does.

The industry network

Years of relationships across Canadian construction, design and hardware. When it helps, your work gets put directly in front of the people who decide.

Fair questions

What owners ask before starting.

About two hours in week one, the call and a walkthrough of your business. An hour to approve the plan. After that, roughly 30 minutes a month for the results call. Approvals happen by email. We build the marketing; you build the business.

Yes, all of it. Your domain, your website, your CRM, your content and your photography live in accounts under your name. If we ever part ways, everything stays with you and keeps working.

No multi-year lock-ins. Engagements run month to month after the initial build phase, we earn the next month, every month.

A 30-minute call, access to your existing accounts (or we set them up fresh, in your name), and one person who can answer product questions while we write. That's it.

Leading indicators, calls, spec enquiries, download requests, rankings, start moving in months one to three. Specification and bid cycles in this industry pay out over 6 to 18 months. We report both every month, and we tell you which is which.

Reviews

What working with us feels like

A sample of the feedback we hear from the sectors we serve across Canada.

"Every meeting starts with what moved and what's next, no vanity charts. When something underperforms they say so first. That honesty is why renewal took five minutes."

Farah Q. MalikBuilding products marketer, Mississauga, ON

"The free audit told us things about our own website in Vaughan that our last agency never mentioned, including why estimators couldn't find us. Signed two weeks later."

Marco DiStefanoTrade contractor, Vaughan, ON

"Onboarding was two working sessions and they had our vocabulary down. Three months in, Toronto clients were quoting the new site back to us."

Christine Wong-LauDesign studio, Toronto, ON

"The CRM and automations mean no enquiry dies in an inbox. Watched a Saturday night quote request from Hamilton become a Monday morning order."

Pavlo HordiienkoGlass fabricator, Hamilton, ON

"Weekly pricing note, pro account funnel, counter scripts. They set it all up in Saskatoon and taught us to run it. Feels like a marketing department we finally hired."

Leah Friesen-DyckDistributor, Saskatoon, SK

"They built the plan around sales centre appointments, not clicks. Our Gatineau launch beat the last one in a slower market, and I understood every report."

Mathieu CoteBuilder, Gatineau, QC
