The marketing agency for Ottawa businesses on both sides of the river

We’re a marketing agency for Ottawa businesses that sell in English and French, in Ontario and across the river in Gatineau. Our co-founder Alia Seffar worked with the University of Ottawa, and we run your SEO, website, ads and follow-up as one plan, in both languages.

Example with a made-up business.

One city, two provinces, two languages

Ottawa sits on the Québec border. A customer in Kanata may search in English while one in Gatineau expects French, and only a bridge separates them.

That changes the work. If you sell across the river, Québec’s French language rules apply to what you publish for those customers, so your site, your ads and your follow-up need a plan for both sides from day one.
