OTTAWA CONTRACTOR MARKETING

Ottawa homeowners plan carefully, compare quotes and read every review, and many of them search in French. We help Ottawa contractors show up in the suburbs they want, in both languages when it fits, and look like the careful choice they're looking for.

Marketing in Ottawa

Where Ottawa contractors lose jobs online

  1. One page for a city of suburbs

    Kanata, Barrhaven and Orléans are different markets with long drives between them. A page for each brings in the jobs close to you.

  2. English only

    Many homeowners in Orléans and across the river search in French. If your site and ads don't, you don't show up for them.

  3. Not enough proof for careful buyers

    Ottawa homeowners read reviews and look for process. A site without either looks risky.

  4. A short outdoor season

    Exterior work packs into a few months. Marketing that starts in May misses the people who booked in March.

80% more website traffic in the first 3 months

  • +80%website traffic in the first 3 months
  • 3service pages, one for each trade
  • 1scroll animation that builds a pool

KCC builds high-end pools, hardscaping and carpentry, and their old template site showed none of it. We built a page for each trade, a gallery of their own builds and a homepage that builds a pool as you scroll. Website traffic went up 80% in the first three months.

Evan did a great job on our website and offered lots of wonderful advice and tips on how to promote website traffic, and improve our business. I would not hesitate to recommend him for all your website needs. We are extremely satisfied and pleased with the work Debut has done for us.

  • Debut made us a great website and got our construction company ranking locally. Couldn't be happier with the results

  • Evan made it very easy and simple to design the perfect website for my construction company. All within a great budget and timeline. Evan followed up after few weeks to even make better improvements to the site for free. Highly recommend!! Thanks Evan.

    Yannick G. YG Construction
  • Just over a year ago, I started my business. About six months in, things were going well, but I didn’t have a website. Then, out of nowhere, I got a call from Evan. He had seen my business on Google and noticed I didn’t have a website. Evan sent me a list of what he needed, but at the time, I was extremely busy, probably not the easiest client to work with. Eventually, we got everything in place, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. 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.

Straight answers

Ottawa contractor marketing questions

Do you work with Ottawa contractors?

Yes. We're based in Vancouver and work with contractors across Canada. Planning happens by phone and video, and your marketing is set up for Ottawa.

Can you run my marketing in French?

Yes, if you serve customers in French. We build French pages and ads to match, so you show up for people searching in French.

Can I advertise in Gatineau?

Yes, but working in Quebec usually means holding a RBQ licence. Check that first, then we can set up pages and ads for Gatineau.

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.

Which suburbs should I target?

Start with the ones closest to your best jobs. The drive between Kanata and Orléans is long, so most contractors pick one side of the city.
