Most Toronto small businesses come to us with the same two questions: how long will this take, and how will I know it is working? The honest answer is that marketing compounds — but the first ninety days follow a predictable rhythm, and we want you to know it before you sign anything.
In the first two weeks we do the listening. You get a scope call, a written audit of where you stand today — your website, your Google presence, your competitors — and a fixed quote in Canadian dollars. If the audit shows you do not need us yet, we say so. Several businesses a year take the audit, act on it themselves, and come back when they are ready to scale; that is fine with us, because it is how we would want to be treated.
Days fifteen through sixty are the build phase. A website project moves from wireframes to a design you approve, then to a private staging link you can click through while we develop. An SEO or social engagement starts with the unglamorous foundations — technical fixes, keyword mapping, a content calendar — because the visible wins in month four are built on quiet work in month two. You will see everything as it happens; nothing sits behind a curtain.
By day ninety you have live deliverables and a baseline. Websites launch with analytics wired in. SEO clients see their first ranking movement and a clean, plain-language report they can actually read. Social and video clients have a month or more of published content and an early read on what their audience responds to. Then we review the numbers together, adjust the plan, and keep going — month to month, with no lock-in, because by then the results are the reason you stay.
If that pace sounds reasonable, the next step is a single conversation. Tell us what you are trying to grow — more calls, more orders, more bookings — and we will tell you plainly whether we are the right team to grow it, what it would cost, and what we would do first.
A word on budgets, since it is usually the unspoken question on these calls. Our website projects start in the low thousands of Canadian dollars, and ongoing marketing — SEO, social media, video — typically runs between eight hundred and twenty-five hundred a month depending on scope. Those are real working numbers, not bait ranges: the quote you receive after your consultation will land inside them unless your project genuinely needs more, in which case we explain why before you commit to anything. There is no discovery-fee hustle, no pressure close, and no follow-up sales sequence. One call, one written quote, and a clear decision you can take to your business partner, your accountant, or your kitchen table.
