Our standard
If it does not lead to a call, a booking or a sale, we do not count it.
Most agencies report on activity. We report on outcomes, and you can check every number yourself.
- What most reports showWhat ours show
- Impressions and reach→Phone calls and quote requests
- “Rankings improved”→Each keyword, its position, month over month
- Followers and likes→Messages and enquiries from your area
- Clicks→Cost per lead, and which ad produced it

The Ground Floor
Just opened? Start on the ground floor.
Our prices are built so a new business can start small and grow into more. We would rather grow with you than price you out.
- Start with one service from $300 a month, and add more as the phone starts ringing.
- Spread a website over three equal monthly payments, with no interest and no fees.
- Upgrade any time without starting over. Your dashboard and history come with you.
- Still out of reach? Tell us, and we will find a way to help.
Who you work with
A data analyst who fell for marketing.
I’m Evan. I spent five years in data analytics and IT before I found the work I enjoy most: helping local business owners get found and chosen.
That background is why this agency runs on evidence. I know how search engines read a website, I know how to track where a lead came from, and I would rather show you a number than tell you a story. You deal with me directly, from the first audit to the monthly report.
It is also why I built a custom dashboard for every client. You can see your progress any time: the keywords you rank for, how they are moving, and a log of every change we make. No gatekeeping of your data. You will see our work and your results, and if you don’t like what you see, you are free to leave.
Questions
Quick answers.
What does Vertica Marketing actually do?
We build websites, get businesses found on Google and Google Maps, and run Facebook and Instagram marketing. You can hire us for one piece or have us run all of it from one plan.
Who do you work with?
Local service businesses in Ottawa and the surrounding area: renovators, contractors, trades, home services and real estate. We are also growing into clinics and other professional practices.
How long before I see results?
A new website or an ad campaign can bring calls within weeks. Ranking on Google takes longer. Google itself says most SEO work takes four months to a year to show its full benefit, so you get a progress report every month along the way.
Do I own my website and accounts?
Yes. Your domain, website, Google Business Profile and ad accounts are in your name. We are added as managers, never owners.
