I had tried running Google & Facebook Ads for my laser skincare business but kept burning through my budget without getting many leads. The Marvel team reviewed my campaign, and within a couple of weeks found where I was going wrong. They restructured everything—recommended better keywords, created way better ads, and edited my ad copy. Within the 3rd week, I started seeing real leads at a much better rate than I was getting before. Id like to give a special thanks to my PPC manager, Jake. It’s very clear to me that both Jake and the rest of the Marvel team is experienced and know what they are doing. I have already recommended that my husband look into Marvel Marketing for his landscaping business!

With our 6 locations across Canada we needed a marketing agecy that was able to take on our SEO and Google ads and achieve some measurable results. After almost 7 months, we are very happy to say that all 6 locations have positive ROI with 2 locations having beyond exceptional ROAS with Google ads. We were worried giving all 6 locations to one agency, but the team at Marvel has really come through and impressed us. We need to get the Marvel team out to Toronto for a party to celebrate the success!

My company, SAD Entertainment Inc., operates out of the same building as Marvel Marketing. Upon moving in, we were pleased to find out we'd be sharing a commercial building with such pleasant people. The team at Marvel Marketing is currently working on a website for our audio production facilities, and they are some of the most easygoing, creative, ambitious people I've ever met. Ryan, Selina, and Josh make a wonderful team, and we here are thankful beyond words for the wonderful work they're doing. From SEO, to website design and creation (and absolutely everything in between), you can absolutely bet on the Marvel Marketing team to elevate your business to the next level commercially!

A friend recommended Marvel Marketing to us when we were having a really bad experience with another Marketing company. We spoke with Ryan and he understood exactly what we were looking for. He recommended options based on our business model and also created a new eCommerce website, which was one of the best decisions we have ever made in our business. Despite the challenges that we faced during the transition, Ryan handled everything professionally and did his best to work with us. He is transparent with his services and very responsive. His communication and interaction with us has been absolutely amazing. We continue working with Marvel Marketing and would highly recommend anyone out there looking for eCommerce services.

I hired Marvel Marketing to help our real estate brokerage Oceanside Real Estate with website development and search engine optimization. The web design process went really well and they completed what the previous web developer was not able to finish. Marvel Marketing is now managing our social media along with our monthly blogging creating content to build our brand. We are a few months in and their marketing team is working diligently, and consistently meeting my expectations. If you're looking for marketing services I would recommend Marvel Marketing.

Ryan was extremely knowledgeable, supportive and patient throughout the process. He guided me with what he needed from me and clarified everything for me each step of the way. In addition to all of that, I truly LOVE my website and it definitely checked all the boxes of what my needs and goals were with it.

Frequently Asked Questions

We Have The Answers You're looking for

Most Calgary businesses invest between $2,500 and $5,000 per month for full-service digital marketing. This typically includes local SEO, Google Ads management, and monthly content creation. While entry-level packages exist, this budget range is necessary to compete aggressively in high-value industries like trades, legal, and medical services in a city like Calgary that has over 1.5 million population.

Local knowledge wins when it comes to successful marketing campaigns. We understand the specific seasonality of Calgary industries (like the winter slowdown for trades) and the geography of the city for local map rankings. A global freelancer won’t know that ranking for ‘Beltline’ is different from ranking for ‘Deep South,’ whereas we build hyper-local strategies that target your actual service areas. Our founder is born and raised in Calgary, and our team members have all lived here for many years or their entire lives. If you want the advantage of local expertise, we are your best partner.

The timeline depends on which specific strategies we implement for you. Here is a typical breakdown by service:

  • Google Ads (PPC): This is the fastest method. You can expect to see traffic and leads within 72 hours of your campaign launch.
  • Web Design: A custom website project typically takes 4 to 8 weeks to design and build. Once launched, the impact on your brand image and conversion rate is immediate.
  • Social Media & Email Marketing: These rely on consistency and audience building. You will typically see engagement metrics and open rates improve within the first 30 to 60 days.
  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO): This is a long-term investment. Meaningful movement in search rankings usually begins between months 3 and 6 as search engines index your new content.

We use AI for velocity, not for strategy. We utilize private, secure AI models to accelerate data processing, pattern recognition, and initial auditing. This allows us to cut through the noise 3x faster than traditional methods.

However, we maintain a strict ‘Human-in-the-Loop’ (HITL) protocol. 100% of strategic decision-making, campaign builds, and final deliverables are executed by our marketing team. We do not input client data into public models (like standard ChatGPT), ensuring full SOC-2 and GDPR compliance.

At Marvel Marketing, we focus on revenue and profit, not just vanity metrics like ‘clicks.’ We integrate your campaigns with Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and call-tracking software to measure actual booked appointments and sales. You will receive a live dashboard showing your Cost Per Lead (CPL) and total Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) so you know exactly where every dollar goes.
