I have a niche service business in the Vancouver area. I had already made myself what I thought was an ok website on GoDaddy and I began approaching some companies about SEO. Most companies were only interested in selling me expensive Google Ads, or charging a lot each month for what I felt were very few keywords. Then I got in touch with Donnie Glennie at First Rank. Donnie recommended that instead of monthly SEO bills, I would do better with a high quality website with the SEO embedded. Donnie put the website design in the hands of Matt Wire, who put together an amazing site that has me coming up at the top of Page 1 or close in all the municipalities I operate in. I'm very happy with the results and the ongoing service that Donnie and Matt provide. I feel that I definitely made the right choice in going with First Rank.

To make a long story short, our website got broken by the current provider, in a bunch of ways. In an effort to identify the source of the problem we engaged First Rank SEO (amongst others) for review and assistance. Matt was highly responsive, helpful, appropriately instructive, thorough and detailed in his response and generous regarding his time spent on calls discussing it all. We didn't end up working with First Rank SEO (for a variety of reasons NONE of which had anything at all to do with their abilities, pricing, competence, or anything else). Had something else not transpired I've every reason to believe that they'd have been in the running (if not our top choice) for an SEO partner. The point of this review is to advise others that you may expect professionalism, an authoritative approach, great customer service, knowledge and expertise from them and I'm happy to provide this review and recommend them DESPITE the fact that we didn't end up doing business together. Every step of the interaction process with Matt and his team was entirely satisfactory and I've no doubt that they'd have been able to provide what we were needing had we proceeded with contracting First Rank SEO for the work. I was disappointed to have to say 'no' but again, this was for reasons other than anything at all related to their capabilities, expertise or professionalism.

I have been working with Donnie and team on my google ads management for the last month and a half. I can’t begin to express my gratitude to this crew. The countless phone calls, small tweaks and honest input with all my ideas has led me to increase my revenue tremendously in comparison to ad spend. I will forever recommend this company to anyone needing help with SEO, Google ads or any online management.

We've worked with First Rank for many years for SEO, and now more recently with GEO. One thing that stands out besides their clear expertise and forward-thinking mentality, is their core values / culture! My main contact Colton is trustworthy, enthusiastic and truly makes me feel our brand is in good hands. Happy to recommend First Rank SEO to anyone looking to grow their organization with a team that truly cares.

Results speak louder than any sales pitch, so we’ll let our clients do the talking.

How Google Ads PPC Works And Why It Converts

Pay-per-click (PPC) Google Ads are straightforward but powerful. You bid on keywords your potential customers are searching for, your ad appears at the top of Google’s search results, and you only pay when someone clicks.

What makes it effective is intent. Someone searching Google is actively looking for a solution right now. That’s why Google Ads consistently delivers higher conversion rates than almost any other digital advertising channel.

The system runs on an auction model, but it isn’t just about who bids the most. Google factors in your Quality Score, which considers ad relevance, expected click-through rate (CTR), and landing page experience. A well-optimized campaign can pay less per click than a sloppy competitor bidding higher.

At First Rank, we set up proper conversion tracking from day one using Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 (GA4). That means call tracking, form submissions, and purchase attribution. If we can’t measure it, we don’t run it.

Our Google Ads Services in Edmonton

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all campaigns. Our Google Ads services in Edmonton are built around your specific goals, audience, and competitive landscape.

Google Search Ads

Search ads are the foundation of most campaigns we run. We build tightly themed ad groups around specific keyword research clusters, write compelling ad copy with strong calls to action, and pair everything with optimized landing pages. Every search campaign includes sitelink extensions, callout extensions, and structured snippets to maximize your real estate on the results page.

Google Shopping Ads

For Edmonton e-commerce businesses, Google Shopping ads put your products front and center with images, prices, and reviews right in search results. We optimize your product feed, structure campaigns by margin and performance, and use negative keywords aggressively to keep unqualified clicks from eating your budget. Shopping campaigns consistently deliver some of the strongest return on ad spend (ROAS) numbers we see.

Performance Max Campaigns

Performance Max campaigns reach your customers across Google’s entire inventory: Search, Display, and Maps, all from a single campaign. We layer in audience signals and creative assets so Performance Max targets the segments most likely to convert rather than spraying your budget everywhere.

Remarketing And Retargeting Campaigns

Visitors don’t always convert on their first visit. Remarketing keeps your brand in front of people who’ve already shown interest. We build segmented remarketing audiences so your messaging matches where each visitor dropped off. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to recapture lost leads.

Why Pay-Per-Click Is Essential For Edmonton Businesses

Edmonton is a competitive and highly seasonal market. HVAC companies see demand surge during temperature swings, landscapers compete for attention throughout the warmer months, and retailers experience significant spikes during holiday shopping periods. When potential customers are actively searching for your services, appearing at the top of search results directly impacts lead generation and revenue.

The businesses that win with pay-per-click in Edmonton are not always the ones with the largest budgets. More often, they are the ones with well-structured campaigns, strategic keyword targeting, compelling ad copy, and landing pages built to convert. Ongoing optimization ensures campaigns keep performing as market conditions and customer behaviour evolve.

Whether your goal is generating leads, increasing phone calls, driving online sales, or building brand awareness, a well-managed PPC campaign connects you with high-intent customers at the exact moment they’re searching. The right Edmonton PPC company can help you reach the right audience and stay ahead of local competitors.

Why Choose First Rank For Google Ads Management Edmonton

There are plenty of agencies that can run ads. The difference is whether they can build a strategy that fits your market, explain performance clearly, and improve the campaign over time.

We Focus On Real Business Outcomes

Clicks and impressions only matter if they lead somewhere. We focus on the metrics tied to actual business growth: calls, leads, booked consultations, sales, and cost per conversion.

We Prioritize Lead Quality

More traffic is not always better. We aim to bring in the kind of searchers most likely to become customers, not just visitors.

We Build Around Local Intent

Campaign strategy should reflect how people search in Edmonton. We account for local service areas, search language, demand shifts, and intent patterns when shaping campaigns.

We Continuously Optimize

Search terms change, competitors adjust, and campaign performance moves quickly. We review data, test new opportunities, and make changes that keep performance moving in the right direction.

You Keep Ownership

Your account and data should belong to you. We believe in transparency, visibility, and straightforward reporting.

We Add Clear Calls To Action Throughout The Funnel

Strong PPC performance is not just about the ad. It is also about the message users see after the click. We look at landing-page alignment, offers, trust signals, and CTAs so the campaign has a better chance of converting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Google Ads In Edmonton

How Much Does Google Ads Management Cost In Edmonton?

Most businesses have two separate costs: ad spend paid directly to Google and a management fee for strategy, setup, reporting, and ongoing optimization.

Yes. Google Ads lets you reach potential customers at the exact moment they’re searching for your products or services. Whether you serve a specific neighbourhood, the entire city, or surrounding communities, campaigns can be targeted to the areas that matter most. 

Google Ads puts you at the top of search results immediately through paid placement. Search engine optimization (SEO) builds organic rankings over time without paying per click. Think of Ads as turning on a tap and SEO as digging a well. 

At First Rank, we offer both SEO and Google Ads Management. We recommend both for Edmonton businesses that want sustainable growth, but if you need leads this month, PPC is the faster path.

A freelancer can work for low budgets with simple search campaigns. Once you’re managing multiple campaign types and needing weekly optimization, a freelancer’s bandwidth becomes the bottleneck. Most Edmonton small and mid-size businesses get the best value from a PPC management agency, a full team’s expertise for less than one full-time hire.
