Search Engine People

Since 2001, Search Engine People has worked with Canadian businesses of all sizes on SEO and PPC. The agency is listed in Toronto, Ontario, and says its team is based in Canada and works out of Pickering, Ontario. Its declared work is divided between SEO, PPC and broader digital marketing.

Search Engine People describes itself as a full-service agency, meaning clients can decide how involved they want to be. It says it was Google's first partner in Canada and holds a Google Premier Partnership, along with partnerships with Microsoft, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, Waze and other niche platforms, which gives it reach across a wide range of advertising channels. Its process starts with learning about the client's business, competitors and goals, whether the company operates globally, nationally or locally, and then building a custom strategy. The agency stresses transparency: it shows clients exactly what it plans to do and gives pricing that is easy to understand.

The team is in the 50-249 band, with a $1,000 minimum project size and hourly rates of $150-199. It suits Canadian companies, from owner-led businesses to marketing teams in larger firms, looking for an established Ontario SEO and PPC agency with a straightforward, personable style.
