Why nothing is moving
It is not a product problem. It is a visibility problem — and visibility problems
have solutions.
Maybe your website loads slowly on a phone. Maybe your logo was designed by a nephew in 2019. Maybe
you have never run a single Google Ad or posted on Instagram with any consistency. Maybe you have done
all of that and none of it is working the way it should. None of that means you have a bad business.
It means you have not had the right partner yet.
We are an Edmonton-based marketing agency that builds the systems behind brands that grow
— SEO, web design, paid media, brand identity, social media marketing and video production
— all under one roof, all pulling in the same direction.
The difference is how we build them. We use the best creative and strategic talent in the city,
paired with AI systems that eliminate the busywork, the bloat and the bloated timelines that
traditionally make great marketing unaffordable. The result is the same calibre of work that Edmonton
and Toronto agencies charge twice as much for, delivered faster, at a price that does not require a
board meeting to approve.

What month eleven actually costs
A new logo, a fresh website, a single good month of Facebook Ads — every agency can deliver
that. What separates the brands that scale from the ones that stall is month eleven.
Same voice. Sharper numbers. On an ordinary Tuesday when nobody feels inspired and the work still
compounds. That is what you are actually hiring when you hire a marketing agency in Edmonton. Not a
project. A system that gets better every month and costs less to run each quarter than the last.
We pour our hearts into every client and every project — not because it sounds good in a
headline, but because the only way to build something that lasts is to care about the details nobody
else notices. And because our AI-enhanced workflows handle the repetitive production work, our
strategists and creatives spend their time on the parts that actually move your business: thinking,
writing, designing, and making decisions a template never could.
DIAGNOSIS 01
“Nobody can find us.” → Visibility
Your SEO is unfocused, your Google Business Profile is unclaimed or unoptimised, and your paid
campaigns either do not exist or are spending money on clicks that never become customers.
You do not have a demand problem. You have a search problem. Someone in Edmonton is Googling
exactly what you offer right now — the question is whether the search, and the AI answering it,
points to you or somewhere else entirely.
Search & web →
Paid media →
DIAGNOSIS 02
“They find us and leave.” → Conversion
Your website takes six seconds to load on mobile, your call-to-action is buried below the fold,
and your contact form has nine fields. A visitor arrived ready to buy and you made them work for it.
They did not.
Half of mobile visitors leave before a heavy page finishes loading, and the ones who stay judge you
for the wait. Speed is not a technical nicety — it is the first impression.
Web design & development →
DIAGNOSIS 03
“They see us and shrug.” → Desire
Your brand looks like every other brand in your category. Same stock photos. Same font. Same
claim about being passionate and client-focused. Nothing wrong with any of it — and nothing that
makes someone choose you over the alternative.
We diagnose which of the three it is, then we fix it. That is the whole job, and there is always a
reason — we find it in the first twenty minutes.

T+00:02:04 · SEPARATION
Campaigns end. Systems compound.
Most marketing agencies sell you a campaign — a burst of activity that flares up and dies.
We build the engine instead: offer, creative, channels, data — then stay and keep tuning it, so
growth costs less each month than the last.
This is the difference between hiring a freelancer who runs your Google Ads for three months and
disappears, and building the kind of digital marketing system that feeds your pipeline every
single week — whether someone is managing it that day or not.
We do not disappear after launch. We stay. We watch the numbers. We adjust. That is the job.
T+00:06:30 · ABOVE THE WEATHER
What the reporting actually looks like
Every marketing decision we make ties back to a number you can bank. Not a feeling. Not a vibe.
A metric that shows up in your revenue and your bank account.
We report weekly, in plain language, with a written note on what changed and what it means. If you
can read a text message, you can read our reports.
You should never wonder whether your marketing is working. The answer should be in your inbox every
week: leads generated, cost per acquisition, revenue attributed, and a clear note on what we are doing
next.

Fifty milliseconds is a revenue decision
This is why web design is not a cosmetic expense. It is a revenue decision. A slow, confusing or
generic website does not just look bad — it costs you real money every single day it stays
live.
And this is why every website we build in Edmonton is designed mobile-first, tested on real devices
over real cellular connections, optimised for Core Web Vitals, and built to convert — not just to
impress your board.

01 — VISIBILITY
Get found by the people already looking
Demand for what you sell exists today. Someone in Edmonton is Googling exactly what you offer
right now. The question is whether the search — and the AI answering it — points somewhere
useful, or somewhere else entirely. Our SEO services and local search optimisation make sure it points
to you.

02 — ATTENTION
Get seen by the people who aren't
Search only catches people already shopping. This reaches everyone else — ideally before
they have heard of anybody else. Your social media marketing should not be a chore you dread every
week. It should be the single most visible part of your brand — the thing that makes people in
Edmonton say, “I keep seeing them everywhere.” That is not luck. That is a system.
- Social media management — strategy, content creation, posting and community management across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube
- Creator & influencer partnerships — connecting your brand with local and national voices your audience already trusts
- UGC production at volume — authentic, lo-fi content that outperforms polished ads in every feed
- Short-form video & motion — Reels, TikToks, Shorts and Stories that people actually watch and share
- PR & reputation management — media outreach, review management and narrative control
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GETA market that knows your name before you call. Brand recognition that compounds into revenue.
Social & content →
03 — DESIRE
Be the one they actually want
Being seen is worth little if you look like everyone else. This is the work that makes choosing
you feel like common sense. Your brand is every touchpoint someone has with your business: your logo,
your website, your signage, your invoices, your Instagram grid, the way your team answers the phone.
Most businesses have never had all of those aligned. We align them.
- Brand identity & positioning — logo design, visual identity systems, brand strategy and messaging that differentiates you from every competitor in your category
- Web design & development — custom WordPress, Shopify and headless builds. Fast, conversion-focused, mobile-first. Not templates with your logo on them.
- Photography & videography — commercial shoots, product photography, team portraits and behind-the-scenes content
- Campaign creative — ads, landing pages, print materials, signage: every format, one consistent brand
- Podcast production — strategy, recording, editing, distribution and promotion
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GETA brand people screenshot and send to a friend. A website that looks like it cost three times what you paid.

04 — REVENUE
Turn all of it into money
Attention that never converts is a hobby, and an expensive one. This is the plumbing between
interest and revenue — the conversion rate optimisation, email marketing, CRM automation and
analytics that make sure every dollar you spend comes back with friends.
- Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) — A/B testing, heatmaps, session recording and landing page optimisation that turns more visitors into customers
- Email & SMS lifecycle — welcome sequences, abandoned cart flows, re-engagement campaigns and newsletters that actually get opened
- CRM & marketing automation — HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, GoHighLevel: the systems that nurture leads while you sleep
- AI agents & chat concierge — automated response systems, lead qualification and customer support that works 24/7
- E-commerce growth — Shopify optimisation, product page strategy, checkout flow improvements and retention campaigns
- Analytics & attribution — GA4, server-side tracking, conversion APIs and custom dashboards that show you exactly what is working
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GETA number you can bank, not a vibe you can hope for. Revenue you can trace to the exact campaign, ad or page that generated it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Questions Edmonton business owners actually ask
How much does a marketing agency in Edmonton cost?
Edmonton agencies typically charge $900–$4,000 a month for paid media management, $1,000–$4,800 a month for social media management, and $5,500–$45,000 for a website build. RISE publishes both the industry-standard range and our own fee on every service page, and our fees run roughly 55–65% below the traditional range because AI-assisted production removes the overhead rather than the expertise.
Do you only work with businesses in Edmonton?
Edmonton and the surrounding region is home — St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan and Strathcona County included — but we work with clients across Alberta and the rest of Canada. Local knowledge matters most for local search, Google Business Profile and geo-targeted campaigns.
How long does SEO take to work in a market like Edmonton?
Local search improvements — Google Business Profile, map pack visibility, service-area pages — often move within 30 to 90 days. Competitive organic rankings usually take six to twelve months of consistent technical work, content and links. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is describing paid ads, not SEO.
Do I own the website, ad accounts and creative you build?
Yes, all of it, in your name, from day one — domain, hosting, repository, CMS, Google Ads and Meta accounts, pixels, raw footage and source files. There are no lock-in contracts and nothing is held hostage if you leave.
What makes RISE cheaper than other Edmonton marketing agencies?
Traditional agencies staff an account manager, a strategist, a creative director, a designer and a copywriter against every account, and that overhead is what you pay for. We keep the senior thinking human and hand the repetitive production — reporting, transcoding, asset organisation, first-draft creative iteration — to AI systems. Same deliverables, same seniority, far less drag.
Can I hire you for just one service instead of a full package?
Yes. Every service — SEO, paid media, social, brand identity, web design, video — is available on its own, and the three packages can be started individually, combined over time, or adjusted as the business grows.
What happens on the free consultation?
Twenty minutes, no slides. You tell us where growth is stuck; we tell you the first three things we would do, a rough number, and an honest answer on whether we are the right team. You keep the plan whether or not you hire us.
