How we work with businesses in Alberta
- Audit (week 0–1). We review your ad accounts, analytics, tracking, website and competitors in Alberta, and send a written audit: what's broken, what's wasted, and the three moves we'd make first.
- Plan (week 1–2). A measurement plan, break-even ROAS and target CAC, a channel mix for Alberta, creative planned in English, Punjabi and Tagalog, and a 90-day roadmap with owners and dates.
- Launch (week 2–4). Clean campaign structures, verified conversion tracking, the first creative sprint and landing-page fixes that remove obvious friction.
- Optimise (months 2–3). Weekly tests across audiences, bidding, creative and pages, with budget shifting toward the cheapest incremental results.
- Scale (month 3 onwards). New channels, cities and markets and retention loops — added only when the economics hold at higher spend.
Live working-hours overlap with Alberta: Your evenings from 7:30pm and mornings until 9:30am MT (an hour earlier in winter). Every client gets a shared WhatsApp group, a weekly 30-minute call with the strategist who runs the account, a live dashboard and a written change log. See how we work for the full process.
Why businesses in Alberta work with PMG
- Measurement first. Break-even ROAS, target CAC and clean tracking before any budget is scaled.
- You own everything. Ad accounts, data and creative stay in your name, and ad spend goes straight to the platforms.
- Senior people on your account. The strategist who runs your campaigns is the person you talk to every week.
- Weekly transparency. A scorecard, change log and test board every week — no vanity metrics.
- Short minimum terms. We would rather keep clients with results than with contracts.
- A long working day. Mon–Sat, 7am–9pm IST, giving real overlap with Alberta and overnight progress on your campaigns.
What does digital marketing cost for a business in Alberta?
We quote after a free audit, based on scope rather than geography: the number of channels and markets, your monthly ad spend, creative volume, languages and tracking complexity. Your ad spend is paid directly to Google, Meta and other platforms from your own accounts, in Canadian dollar (CAD) — it never passes through us.
PMG charges a fixed monthly fee, a percentage of ad spend or a hybrid — whichever keeps incentives cleanest — and many clients add a performance-linked component once tracking is reliable. Minimum terms are short. See pricing for what drives cost and how to compare agency quotes.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with energy-sector suppliers?
Yes — B2B pipeline and recruitment campaigns. See B2B manufacturing.
Can you help Banff and Canmore hotels?
Yes — direct-booking campaigns for domestic and international visitors.
When should Stampede campaigns start?
In spring, with peak spend in the weeks before July.
Can you target people moving to Alberta from other provinces?
Yes — relocation-focused campaigns for real estate, home services and employers, aimed at Ontario and BC.
Does Alberta have provincial sales tax?
No — Alberta charges only the federal GST, which can be a selling point in retail campaigns.
Is Alberta growing?
Alberta has attracted many interprovincial migrants, supporting housing and services demand.
How much does it cost to hire a digital marketing agency in Alberta?
PMG quotes after a free audit — a fixed monthly fee, a percentage of ad spend or a hybrid, depending on channels, markets, creative volume and tracking. Ad spend is paid directly to the platforms from your own accounts.
How long does it take to see results from digital marketing in Alberta?
Tracking fixes and search campaigns often show improvement within two to four weeks. Prospecting on Meta or YouTube usually needs three to six weeks of creative testing, and SEO compounds over three to nine months. We agree leading indicators for each channel so you are never guessing.
Do we need to sign a long contract?
No. Minimum terms are short, because we would rather keep clients with results than with contracts. Ad accounts, data and creative stay in your name throughout.
Will we own our ad accounts and data?
Yes. Campaigns run in your own Google, Meta and other ad accounts with partner access for PMG, and you can see everything at any time.
When can we talk to PMG live from Alberta?
Our team works Mon–Sat, 7am–9pm IST. Live overlap with Alberta: Your evenings from 7:30pm and mornings until 9:30am MT (an hour earlier in winter). Day-to-day questions are handled on a shared WhatsApp group.
