Web agency for Quebec City and the South Shore

Four things to settle

1. An institutional clientele calls for a different approach. A contract with a public or para-public body often follows a schedule of its own: we take this into account in the calendar of your campaigns.
2. Tourism makes demand vary from one sector to another. A shop in Old Quebec does not go through the same seasons as a supplier in Charlesbourg.
3. Lévis and the South Shore form a distinct market even though they are close by. Your ads and your SEO can target the two shores separately.
4. Local SEO plays out sector by sector as much as for the whole city. We adapt your targeting to where your customers work.

Old Quebec and Saint-Roch

Old Quebec lives largely on tourism, with peaks in the summer. Saint-Roch, close by, has rebuilt a place for itself around video game studios and technology companies, including Ubisoft.

An up-to-date Google Business Profile and good reviews count when it comes to attracting passing customers. For a technology company, your site also serves to attract job candidates.

Sainte-Foy and Sillery

Sainte-Foy is home to Université Laval (more than 56,000 students) and to many head offices, notably in insurance.

Part of your clientele can renew itself every year when the new students arrive. To sell to businesses, your site also has to convince a more corporate buyer.

Limoilou and Charlesbourg

These are mostly residential sectors, with neighbourhood shops and services.

Your Google Business Profile and your place on Google's map often count more than your website for this type of clientele.

Beauport and the east end of the city

The east end of the city has grown a lot and continues to do so, with new residential neighbourhoods.

A business that establishes itself early in the searches of a growing sector can take a good place there before the competition arrives.

Lévis and the South Shore

Lévis is a separate city, on the other side of the river, where Desjardins Group has had its historic head office since it was founded in 1900.

Your South Shore customers do not always look for the same things as those in Quebec City: we can target your ads and your SEO on both sides of the river.

Do you have an office in Quebec City or in Lévis?

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.

Do you also work with businesses in Lévis and on the South Shore?

Yes. Lévis and the South Shore are part of our market just as Quebec City is, even if your customers do not always look for the same things on one side of the river and on the other.

Many of my customers belong to an institution or to the government. Does that change my visibility?

It can, yes. These customers often follow an institutional schedule, with approval steps that slow the decision down: we take this into account in the calendar of your campaigns and of your SEO.

Is the Quebec City market different from Montreal's?

Often, yes. The region's economy relies mostly on services and institutions rather than on manufacturing. Competition there is also sometimes weaker than in Montreal on certain searches.

Do I need an English version of my site?

Rarely for the whole site. The vast majority of the region's clientele searches in French. We look with you at whether certain pages deserve an English version, for example for visitors from elsewhere.

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.
