6 Answers Before You Spend Another Dollar

Why hire a Montreal PPC agency?

You get a team managing Google Ads, tracking enquiries and improving the pages people land on. We use search data to connect paid campaigns with SEO and AI-search visibility. Your free audit identifies where to start.

Do you run campaigns in French and English?

Yes. We align ads with your services and the Montreal boroughs you serve, then match each landing page to the ad's language.

What does management cost?

Your fee and ad budget vary by your goals, competition and account needs. We'll discuss the scope during your free audit.

When will my campaigns move?

Our scripts and AI tools help ship pages and fixes in hours or days. Results take longer; timing varies by your market, budget and account. We don't guarantee lead counts or ad positions.

Can I check where my money goes?

Yes. Your Glass Box Portal shows spend, leads, rankings and the change log 24/7. You don't need to decode technical reports to see the work.

Will you also manage my competitor's ads?

No. We take one major client in each niche and region, and we don't work for direct competitors. Ask about availability during your free audit.
