Marketing in Toronto

Why good GTA contractors still lose the job

The work in Toronto is there. So are a hundred other companies chasing it.

  1. Ads spread across the whole GTA

    A "Toronto" campaign spends in Pickering, Brampton and Oakville alike. If you only want Midtown and the west end, you're paying for clicks you'll never take.

  2. Looking like every other quote

    Homeowners here get four or five quotes. When the websites all say the same thing, they choose on price.

  3. Slow replies

    GTA homeowners send the same request to several companies. Whoever answers first usually gets the visit.

  4. Directories taking the margin

    Lead sites sell the same homeowner to several contractors. Your own website and Google profile get you leads nobody else is calling.

T City builds duplexes and multiplexes. We gave them a new brand and a website built around the question every lot owner asks first, "what can I build here?", then started local SEO and a review system. In 30 days they went from #97 to #4 for the search their buyers use.

Straight answers

Toronto contractor marketing questions

Do you work with Toronto contractors?

Yes. We're based in Vancouver and work with contractors across Canada. Planning happens by phone and video, and everything is set up for the GTA areas you choose.

Can my ads show in some neighbourhoods but not others?

Yes. We split campaigns by area, each with its own budget and page, so you only pay for clicks where you want to work.

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. Expect a bigger ad budget in Toronto than in smaller cities.

Should I buy leads from directories instead?

Directories sell the same lead to several contractors. They can fill gaps, but your own website and Google profile give you leads nobody else is calling.

Do you work with multiplex and suite builders?

Yes. T City, a duplex and multiplex builder, went from #97 to #4 on Google in 30 days after we rebuilt their website and started local SEO.
