Questions buyers ask.
- Are you a Vancouver agency?
- Saskatchewan-based, with an active BC client base and history of BC-region digital PR (see Carooga above). Honest trade-off: no Yaletown office in your fees, no junior-AM relay between you and the person actually running your campaigns. Most BC clients are fine with that.
- Vancouver CPCs are brutal — how do you make a budget work?
- Yes — Vancouver CPCs sit close to Toronto for legal, real estate, finance, healthcare ($25-$120/click range). The play is conversion-rate optimization on the landing page + tight conversion tracking + ruthless negative-keyword discipline + retargeting at lower CPMs to recover the click cost. Throwing more budget at a leaky funnel is the most common Vancouver-agency mistake.
- Which Vancouver / Victoria agencies do you actually recommend?
- The articles below name specific agencies with honest pros and cons — that's editorial, not paid. We don't take referral fees or affiliate commissions. If a guide says "strong on Performance Max but expensive," we mean it. If it says "avoid for SMBs," same.
- Do you cover Victoria, the Island, or just Vancouver proper?
- Both — published guides for Victoria as well as Vancouver. Victoria is a thinner competitive landscape (closer to Saskatoon than Vancouver in CPC + competition) but has its own GBP and review-pipeline patterns. Same framework, different execution intensities.
- What's a typical Vancouver SMB marketing budget?
- Most Vancouver SMBs we work with run $2,000-$5,000/mo total (fees + ad spend) during growth and $1,500-$3,500/mo at steady state. Higher than Saskatchewan or Calgary because BC CPCs are higher across most categories. Worth pricing the difference into your model before signing with a regional-priced agency that quotes you a national-priced budget.
