EXCELLENT Based on 80 reviews Posted on Google Daniel HartleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Have worked with the first rank team for years and they are a great partner for our business.Posted on Google Brian HanniganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Google David Towler Via GmailTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Google Evan TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had many conversations with Mickey about the value that First Rank can add to an organization. Professional, knowledgeable, honest and dedicated staff. I highly recommend this business.Posted on Google Mark LoewenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very interesting and timely topic. These guys know their stuff. And their Brand Brain audit on my company was impressive. Well done guys!Posted on Google Staci BrelinskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoyed the workshop that Donnie and his team put on regarding GEO. I learned a lot and thought it was done really well. I would love to attend more!Posted on Google U.N. LuggageTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been using First Rank and their SEO team for over a year and have seen some really positive results. They are very upfront and transparent with both expectations, and the work they put in. We would highly recommend.Posted on Google chris YaholkoskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today I attended the First Rank SEO Presentation through the Winnipeg Chamber. The session was informative, well-structured and delivered in a highly professional manner. I walked away with valuable insights and a much better understanding of how SEO can support business growth. I highly recommend First RankPosted on Google Logan KaisserTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Google Corey WytinckTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
Google Ads gives your business the opportunity to appear when someone is actively searching for what you offer. That intent is valuable, but only when the campaign is built properly. At First Rank, we manage Kelowna Google Ads campaigns to help businesses:
Kelowna can be a highly seasonal market, which means campaign strategy should be flexible. Budgets, targeting, messaging, and campaign priorities may need to change as customer demand moves throughout the year. Our job is to keep your campaign aligned with those opportunities.
We don’t use the same campaign setup for every client. The right mix depends on how your customers search, what you sell, and what you need your advertising to accomplish.
Search Ads put your business in front of people actively searching for your products or services. We manage keyword targeting, campaign structure, ad copy, negative keywords, bidding, budgets, and search terms to help generate more relevant traffic and qualified leads.
If you sell products online, Shopping Ads can help you reach customers who are already searching for what you carry. We manage campaign structure, product targeting, feeds, and optimization to improve visibility for the products that matter most to your business.
Performance Max can expand your reach across Google’s advertising channels. We use it strategically when the campaign has strong tracking, appropriate creative assets, and enough data to make automation useful rather than wasteful.
For eligible businesses, Local Service Ads can create another valuable placement above traditional search results. We can help integrate LSAs into your overall Google Ads strategy, so your paid channels work together rather than competing for attention.
Not every visitor converts on the first visit. Remarketing helps your business stay visible to people who have already visited your website or shown interest in a specific service or product.
Strong Google Ads performance requires ongoing management. At First Rank, we actively monitor and optimize your campaigns rather than launching them and leaving them alone. Our Google Ads management can include:
We use this data to understand which campaigns, keywords, locations, and ads are producing the strongest results. Then we put more focus on what is working and reduce spend where it isn’t.
There are plenty of agencies that can set up Google Ads. The difference is what happens after the campaign launches.
Clicks and impressions are useful indicators, but they are not the end goal. We focus on the actions that matter to your business, such as:
Our campaign decisions are built around generating more of those actions efficiently.
A strong campaign can still struggle if the landing page doesn’t convert. We look at the full customer journey, including:
The objective is not simply to generate traffic. It’s to turn more of that traffic into customers.
You should know which campaigns are actually producing business. We configure and review conversion tracking so important actions can be attributed back to the campaigns, ads, and keywords that generated them. Better tracking means better decisions.
Kelowna has its own search patterns, service areas, and seasonal demand. A campaign targeting Kelowna should reflect that rather than using a generic national strategy. Depending on your business, we can also target surrounding Okanagan communities and separate markets when performance needs to be managed independently.
Search behaviour changes constantly. New search terms appear. Competitors change strategies. Seasonal demand shifts. Some keywords become stronger while others stop producing. We regularly review the account and make adjustments based on what the data is telling us.
Your Google Ads account should belong to you. You maintain access to your campaign history, conversion data, and advertising information. We manage your account on your behalf without holding your data hostage.
You shouldn’t have to dig through complicated reports to understand whether your advertising is working. We focus our reporting on meaningful metrics and clearly explain what is performing, what we are changing, and where we see opportunities.


If your existing campaigns are spending money but not generating enough quality leads, First Rank can help identify what needs to improve. Some of the most common issues we see include:
An existing account doesn’t always need to be rebuilt. Sometimes better structure, tracking, targeting, and ongoing management can make a significant difference.
Your customers are already searching Google. The question is whether your business is showing up for the right searches and whether your campaign is turning that visibility into real opportunities.
At First Rank, we help Kelowna businesses create and manage Google Ads campaigns built around qualified leads, accurate tracking, ongoing optimization, and transparent reporting.
Whether you’re launching Google Ads for the first time or want stronger performance from an existing account, our team can help you build a better strategy.
