Marketing in Nanaimo

The calls Nanaimo contractors miss without knowing it

  1. Newcomers don't know your name

    People moving up from Vancouver or over from Alberta have no one to ask. They search, and the company with the best reviews and photos gets the call.

  2. Oceanside is its own market

    Parksville and Qualicum Beach search for themselves. If your site only says Nanaimo, those jobs go to someone with a page for them.

  3. A thin Google profile

    A handful of old reviews and no photos look like a company that's winding down, even when you're booked solid.

  4. Slow replies

    Newcomers ask several companies at once. The first one to answer usually gets the visit.

Mack's Flooring website on a laptop and phone

An Island example · Mack's Flooring · Flooring store and installer

400+ leads and $1M+ from one website

  • 400+qualified leads from Google Ads
  • 120+projects in the first year
  • $1M+in revenue from the marketing

Mack's had a great reputation and no website. We built a page for every flooring type and every community they serve, then pointed Google Ads at the page that matched each search. In the first year: 400+ qualified leads, 120+ projects and more than $1M in revenue.

The website looks great, I get compliments on it all the time, and more importantly, leads are coming in every week! Outstanding service, outstanding results. I’ll recommend Evan every chance I get.

Get Your Nanaimo Plan
Do you work with contractors in Nanaimo?

Yes. We work with contractors across Vancouver Island and the rest of Canada from our base in Vancouver. Calls and planning happen by phone and video.

Do you cover Parksville, Port Alberni and the west coast too?

Yes. We build a page and, if you want ads there, a separate campaign for each town you work in, including Port Alberni, Tofino and Ucluelet.

How much does it cost?

Our prices are on this page: the Foundation Package is $3,500 by application, and ads management is $1,000 or $1,500 a month plus your ad budget.

What should I fix first?

Usually your Google Business Profile and reviews, because that's what newcomers check first. If your website is old or missing, the Foundation Package covers both.

I get enough referrals. Why bother?

Referrals don't reach people who just moved here. Marketing fills the gaps between referrals and lets you pick the jobs you want.
