Most businesses know they need to be doing more marketing. The harder part is knowing where to put the effort and the budget. What works for one business in your industry might not be right for yours, and the last thing you want is to spend money on a service that was never the right fit to begin with. We help you figure that out. We listen first, research your market, look honestly at what your competitors are doing, and recommend only the services that make sense for your specific goals.

Every business we work with is in a different place. Some know exactly which service they need. Others just know their marketing is not producing what they hoped and are not sure why. Either way, we can help you figure out the right path forward.
FPM was great to work with, they are great communicators and have a team of professionals that work hard for the end goal of the client. We needed a top notch website and feel that we got one.
There is no service package here. If a service does not make sense for your goals or your budget, we will tell you. We have been doing this long enough to know that the clients we help most are the ones we were honest with from the start. A recommendation that is not right for your business does not serve either of us.
We have been helping businesses in the Fraser Valley and across Canada with their marketing since 2001. That history means we have seen what works and what does not across industries, economic cycles, and major platform changes. We bring that perspective to every engagement, and it shows in the quality of what we recommend.
When your SEO, paid advertising, and social media are all managed by the same team, everything is aligned. No gaps between providers, no one optimizing their piece in isolation while the bigger picture suffers. We see how each channel connects to the others because we are working on all of them, and that integrated view changes the quality of the decisions we make.
We are based in the Fraser Valley, with offices in Abbotsford, Langley, and Calgary. You can call us, meet us, and hold us to account in a way that is much harder with a distant provider. That proximity matters more than most people expect until a question comes up and they need a real answer from a real person the same day.
They significantly improved our Google rankings, moving us from the third or fourth page to now the top of Google searches. Our new website is easy to follow and I would highly recommend Steve and FirstPage Marketing to any business. The returns for growth are phenomenal!

After meeting with FirstPage Marketing, we realized that a new website and rebrand was necessary in order to get to where we wanted to be as a company. FirstPage helped us through this process with great service along the way. Since the launch of our new website and rebranding action, the results have been excellent. Not only are we seeing a great inflow of leads, the leads we are getting are much more qualified and better aligned with our target audience.

You can absolutely start with one. Many of our clients begin with a single service and add others as their business grows and their marketing develops. We’ll tell you honestly which service makes the most sense as a starting point for your specific situation, and we won’t push you toward more than you need.
It depends on what your business most needs right now. If you’re not showing up in Google search results, SEO is usually the right starting point. If you need leads quickly and have budget to put behind ads, PPC gets results faster. If your social media presence has gone quiet or you don’t have time to manage it, social media marketing addresses that directly. If you’re not sure which of those applies, a marketing strategy engagement is designed to answer the question. We assess your situation and tell you clearly where the biggest opportunity is.
No. We work without contracts on all our marketing services. You should stay because the results are worth it, not because you’re locked in. We’re confident enough in what we deliver that we don’t need a contract to keep clients around.
It depends on the service. Paid advertising can produce results within the first month. SEO typically takes three to six months before meaningful movement, with results building steadily from there. Social media presence builds over time rather than producing immediate leads. A marketing strategy engagement produces a deliverable, not ongoing performance, so the timeline is different again. We give you honest expectations upfront for whatever we’re recommending so you know what to commit to before you do.
We handle the work and keep you informed without pulling you into the details unless you want to be there. At the start of an engagement, we’ll have a thorough onboarding conversation to understand your business and your goals. From there, you receive monthly reports covering what we did and what it produced, and we reach out when something needs your input or approval. Most clients describe the relationship as low-maintenance on their end: they’re kept informed but not buried in updates. If something isn’t working the way we expected, we tell you directly rather than waiting for you to notice.
Digital marketing is the practice of promoting a business through online channels to attract customers and generate leads or sales. It includes search engine optimization (SEO), which improves your visibility in Google’s organic results; pay-per-click advertising (PPC), which places paid ads in search results and on social platforms; social media marketing, which builds your presence and audience on platforms like Meta and LinkedIn; content marketing, which creates useful material that draws people to your site; and email marketing, which nurtures existing customers and prospects. Most businesses use a combination of these channels depending on their goals, their industry, and their budget.
Digital marketing costs in Canada vary widely depending on which services you use, the size of your business, the competitiveness of your industry, and the scope of the work. SEO and social media management are typically priced as monthly retainers. Paid advertising involves both a management fee and an ad spend budget that goes directly to the platforms. A one-time marketing strategy engagement is priced differently again. We give you a clear, itemized quote before any work begins so you know exactly what you’re committing to. There are no hidden fees and no percentage markups on ad spend.
SEO (search engine optimization) improves your website’s ranking in Google’s unpaid, organic search results. It takes time to build but produces results that compound over months and years without ongoing ad spend. PPC (pay-per-click advertising) places paid ads at the top of search results or on social platforms, and you pay each time someone clicks. PPC produces results faster than SEO but stops generating traffic the moment you stop spending. Most businesses benefit from both: PPC for immediate visibility while SEO builds long-term organic rankings. The right balance depends on your timeline, your budget, and your goals.
The most important things to look for are transparency, a clear process, and evidence of real results. A good digital marketing company will explain what they’re doing and why, give you access to your own accounts and data, report on outcomes rather than just activity, and be honest when something isn’t working. Watch out for companies that promise guaranteed rankings, charge a percentage of your ad spend as their management fee, or lock you into long-term contracts. We’ve been helping businesses across BC with their digital marketing since 2001. We work without contracts, charge flat management fees, and provide plain-language monthly reporting so you always know what your investment is producing.
