Gatineau and the Outaouais
Marketing agency in Gatineau, on both sides of the river
Your customers may live in Gatineau or in Ottawa. We prepare your ads, your website and your Google Business Profile accordingly.

The short answer
Falia supports businesses in Gatineau and the Outaouais with advertising, web design and SEO, from its offices in Montreal and Saint-Sauveur. Our prices are shown further down this page.
The sectors of Gatineau
Since the 2002 merger, Gatineau has brought together several former cities. We adapt your targeting to each sector.
Hull
Hull is downtown Gatineau, with its offices, its restaurants and its shops.
Your Google Business Profile and your reviews can bring you customers who work downtown.
Aylmer
Aylmer is the most English-speaking sector of Gatineau.
This is often where an English version pays off the most.
Gatineau, the sector
This sector corresponds to the former city of Gatineau, east of the Gatineau River.
For a neighbourhood business, appearing in Google's local pack (the three businesses shown at the top of the results) can count as much as the website. We work on your Google Business Profile to increase your chances of appearing there.
Buckingham and Masson-Angers
Buckingham and Masson-Angers form the east end of the city.
If you travel to your customers, we can target your ads according to the distance you are willing to cover.
Ottawa
Some of your customers may live or work in Ottawa.
Your ads can reach them on the other side of the river.
Service in English or in French, with Ontario in the plan
We work with you in English or in French and we prepare a version in the other language when your customers need one.
Being served in your language
Your meetings and your reports are in English or in French, as you prefer. We write each language version of your site for the customers who will read it, rather than translating word for word.
An approach designed for the Outaouais
What works in Montreal does not necessarily work here: we take that into account from the start.
With Ontario in the plan
If you have customers in Ottawa, we target them in your campaigns and we design your site for them too.
Pricing and timelines
Here are our prices in Canadian dollars, with the timelines.
| The engagement | The price | The timeline | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|---|
| The first call | Free of charge | 30 minutes, this week | You want to know whether there is something to be done |
| The marketing consultation | $595 | 90 minutes, summary within 48 hours | You also want to reach your customers in Ottawa |
| The SEO audit | from $2,995 | 2 to 6 weeks | Your site exists, but it does not bring you customers |
| A new website | between $5,900 and $22,000 | at least two months | Your site no longer looks like you or does not speak to your English-speaking customers |
| The SEO engagement, per month | from $1,600 | First calls possible after a few weeks | You want your site and your Google Business Profile to bring you customers every month |
A version in a second language raises the starting price of a website. Your advertising budget is discussed separately and billed separately.
What we do
We offer four services. You will not necessarily need all four: on the first call, we look with you at which ones can help you.
Paid advertising
We prepare your Google Ads and Meta campaigns to reach your customers in Gatineau as much as in Ottawa. We track the results separately for Quebec and for Ontario.
Web design
We build your site in French, with an English version of the pages that need one.
Organic search (SEO)
We work on your Google Business Profile and the pages of your site to increase your chances of showing up in searches, in French as well as in English.
GEO and AI visibility
When a buyer asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude to name suppliers in the region, your business can appear in the answer or be missing from it. We check what these AIs say about you. We ask them the question in French and in English.
Who it is for
Is your situation a fit for Falia?
Who we work with
An engagement requires seven conditions, including a minimum budget. For every situation we turn down, we say who is better placed.
See the conditions →Owners and entrepreneurs
You have nobody in house to run marketing, and no time to micromanage it yourself. You approve the business direction, we handle the execution.
What we do for you →Marketing teams
Your team is in place, but you are missing a specific expertise or the hands to move forward? We fit in naturally to get your projects unstuck.
How we fit in →What business owners in the Outaouais ask us
My market spills over into Ontario. Do you know how to target it?
Yes, and it is the first setting we check. Google Ads and Meta let you target an area around your business rather than a province. Many campaigns target Quebec only and forget the Ottawa customers who are right next door.
Do I need a bilingual website in the Outaouais?
An English version is often useful, but not necessarily for the whole site. If you have customers in Aylmer or in Ottawa, it can bring you new ones. We look with you at which pages deserve an English version.
Do you have an office in Gatineau?
No, our offices are in Montreal and Saint-Sauveur. One of the two partners can come and meet you at the start of the engagement. Follow-ups are held by video call.
Would an Ottawa agency be a better fit?
If most of your customers are English-speaking and live in Ontario, an Ottawa agency can be a good choice. If your customers mostly read you in French, we can look after your French-language market and also reach your clientele in Ottawa.
Many of my customers work for the government. Does that change my advertising?
Yes, it can. These customers may be more sensitive to your reviews and your reliability than to your discounts: in that case, we put your reputation forward. The public service calendar can also influence the right moment to launch your campaigns.
How long before it pays off?
Your Google Business Profile can start bringing you calls after a few weeks. For the pages of your site, it often takes 3 to 6 months before you see your rankings move. Stable results generally take 6 to 12 months. The Gatineau market is smaller than Montreal's: results can come faster there.
