In Calgary you pay big-city prices for a click. Then the page has to do its job.
Sundayable runs marketing for Calgary small businesses from $1,000 CAD a month, with ad spend separate and in your own account. Local service keywords here are priced like a big city, and you can check what yours costs in ten minutes inside Google’s own keyword planner. Every visit that lands on a slow page, a half-finished profile or a form nobody answers is money already gone.
That price changes the order of the work. For 17th Ave restaurants, Kensington shops and Beltline clinics, the free side carries more weight in Calgary than almost anywhere: the Google Business Profile, the reviews, the pages people find without you paying for the visit. Get those right and the ads you do run cost less per booking, because they land somewhere that converts.
The usual arrangement sends most of a retainer into ad management, and the owner never quite sees where the money went. We would rather build the thing that keeps working after you pause the campaign. If you searched for a marketing agency near you and got four firms who would not quote a price, that is the pattern you were running into.
Search takes about 90 days to move. Ads are the one line built to move a number inside the month, and we will not pretend the others do. What the first month gives you is the work: the pages, the posts and the review replies that shipped, week by week.
Organic Growth is $1,000 a month, printed on the page, no long contract. Paid Growth is a separate $1,000, and the ad spend stays in your own account.

Where the budget goes, in order
Ads come last on purpose. In a market this expensive, paid search magnifies whatever is already true about your page.
The page that receives the click
One page per service, loading fast on a phone, with the price range, the hours and a booking button above the fold. We build the site and keep editing it, so a seasonal offer goes live the same week you ask for it.
The visits you don’t pay for
Local SEO and your Google Business Profile: categories, services, current photos, and reviews that keep arriving and getting answered. These bring people in at no cost per click, which is the whole point in Calgary.
One paid channel, run properly
Paid Growth is $1,000 a month and runs a single ad channel rather than four half-tended ones, with the spend on your own card. Tight geography, tight keyword list, and we stop what is not booking instead of letting it ride. No setup fee on it.
How much does a marketing agency cost in Calgary?
Ours is $1,000 a month with no long contract, and ad spend is separate. Comparable agency work here usually starts around $2,500 a month before media. For $1,000 the website is built, hosted and edited for you, our team makes the content by hand, and your local SEO and reviews are run for you.
Are Google Ads worth it in Calgary?
They can be, once the page and the profile can hold the traffic. At Calgary click prices, sending paid visitors to a thin page is the fastest way to spend a month’s budget on nothing. Paid Growth is its own line at $1,000 a month and runs one channel properly, and we say so plainly when a business is better off spending that money on reviews and content instead.
What does local SEO actually include?
Your Google Business Profile, your reviews and the pages on your site that answer what people search for. In practice: categories and services and photos kept current, a reply written for every new review, one page per service instead of one page trying to cover six, and the same name, address and phone everywhere. Rankings take about 90 days, and Google publishes three things that decide a local result — relevance, distance and prominence — not a timetable.
Do you work with businesses outside downtown Calgary?
Yes. Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere and the whole Calgary area. Work happens remotely with a monthly strategy call. A smaller town is often easier to win, because the search that matters is narrower and fewer businesses have bothered to complete their listing.
