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.
These aren’t cherry-picked wins. They’re what happens when your PPC agency treats your ad spend like their own money. We’d love to share more specific case studies during a strategy call, including video testimonials from London, Ontario business owners who’ve been with us for years.
Google Ads PPC is straightforward in concept: you bid on keywords your potential customers are searching for, and you only pay when someone clicks your ad. But the gap between “straightforward” and “profitable” is where most businesses get stuck. If you’re new to paid search, our Google Ads Canada guide explains how campaign strategy, bidding, Quality Score, and optimization work together to improve results.
When someone in London searches for “emergency plumber near me” or “family lawyer London Ontario,” Google runs an instant auction. Your ad’s position depends on your bid and your Quality Score, which Google calculates based on ad relevance, expected click-through rate, and landing page experience. A higher Quality Score means you can pay less per click and still outrank competitors who are bidding more.
That’s why campaign structure matters. Throwing keywords into a single ad group and hoping for the best is like buying a billboard on a road nobody drives. We build tightly themed ad groups where the keyword, the ad copy, and the landing page all tell the same story. This alignment pushes your Quality Score up and your cost per click down.


Someone clicking your ad already knows what they want; that’s why they typed it into Google. When your campaigns are structured properly, Google Ads becomes the most predictable lead generation channel in your marketing mix.
We manage the full spectrum of Google Ads services so your campaigns cover every stage of the buyer’s journey.
Search ads put you at the top of Google when someone types in a high-intent keyword. We build search campaigns around tightly clustered keyword groups, write ad copy that matches the searcher’s intent, and send traffic to landing pages designed to convert.
If you sell physical products online, Google Shopping Ads display your product image, price, and store name right in the search results. Shoppers can compare before they click, which means the traffic you get is already pre-qualified. We optimize your product feed, set competitive bids by product category, and structure your campaigns to prioritize your highest-margin items.
Most visitors don’t convert on the first visit. Remarketing keeps your business in front of people who’ve already shown interest.
We also manage Performance Max campaigns, which use Google’s machine learning to serve ads across Search, Display, and Maps from a single campaign. Performance Max works well for e-commerce and lead generation but needs careful oversight; left on autopilot, it can burn through budget on low-quality placements. We layer audience signals and asset group structures so Performance Max works for you, not against you.
London, Ontario, is a competitive market that’s growing fast. With a population of more than 420,000 and a diverse business community spanning healthcare, legal services, e-commerce, and skilled trades, standing out online isn’t optional anymore.
When potential customers search for products or services, they usually choose from the businesses they see first. Google Ads helps put your business in front of high-intent customers at the exact moment they’re looking for what you offer, making it one of the fastest ways to generate qualified leads.
Unlike SEO, which takes time to build momentum, pay-per-click advertising delivers immediate visibility and measurable results. You maintain control over your targeting, budget, and campaign goals while gaining valuable insights into what’s driving conversions.
For London businesses competing with both local companies and larger national brands, a professionally managed Google Ads campaign creates opportunities to reach the right audience, maximize your advertising investment, and grow your business with confidence.
Before we launch anything, we audit your market. We analyze competitor ads, identify keyword gaps, and benchmark London-specific CPCs in your vertical. If you’re coming from another agency or managing campaigns yourself, we’ll run a full account health check: wasted spend percentage, search term relevance, impression share, and conversion tracking accuracy. That audit alone has saved clients thousands before we even touch a bid.
We build campaigns from scratch with proper structure: separate campaigns for Search, Shopping, and Remarketing. Each ad group targets a tight keyword cluster. We set up conversion tracking through Google Tag Manager and GA4 (Google Analytics 4), configure call tracking, and verify that every lead source is measured. We also configure negative keyword lists, add ad extensions like sitelinks and callouts, set geo-targeting by postal code and radius for London, and adjust device bids and dayparting schedules based on your peak hours.
Successful Google Ads campaigns require ongoing attention, not a set-it-and-forget-it approach. Every week, we review search term reports, Quality Score, impression share, click-through rates, conversion data, and landing page performance to identify opportunities for improvement.
We make keyword-level bid adjustments, refine audience targeting, pause underperforming search terms, and optimize ad copy based on real campaign data. This hands-on approach helps improve lead quality, increase efficiency, and ensure your campaigns continue delivering strong results as market conditions and customer search behaviour change.
You get direct access to your Google Ads dashboard. We don’t hide behind PDF summaries. You see live spend, live conversions, and live cost-per-lead. Your campaigns live under your own Google Ads Manager account (MCC), and if you ever leave, everything comes with you: data, campaigns, and conversion history. Most agencies make you start from scratch. We don’t.
Watch out for agencies that won’t share search term reports, guarantee first-page rankings, or insist your campaigns run inside their MCC with no transfer option. Those are red flags that should end the conversation.
Our monthly reports go beyond vanity metrics. You’ll see total leads generated and cost per lead, which keywords drove conversions (not just clicks), revenue attribution connecting ad spend to closed deals where possible, competitor benchmarks for impression share, and a clear action plan for the next month. Everything’s written in plain English.


The cost of Google Ads management depends on several factors, including the size of your campaigns, the number of services or locations you’re advertising, your competition, and the level of ongoing optimization required.
You’ll start getting clicks and impressions within days of launch. Meaningful optimization data typically takes 60 to 90 days to accumulate. The first month builds a data foundation. Months two and three are when performance really accelerates.
PPC is one of the few channels where you control exactly how much you spend and can tie every dollar directly to a lead or sale. Even with a modest budget, a well-structured campaign targeting the right keywords in London can generate a strong return. The key is smart targeting, not a massive budget.
Google Ads gives you immediate visibility at the top of search results, but you pay for every click. SEO builds organic rankings over time and doesn’t cost per click, but it takes time to gain traction. They work best together: PPC fills the gap while your organic presence grows. First Rank offers both PPC and SEO services. We can help you find the right balance between the two.
Freelancers can be cost-effective for smaller campaigns, but you’re relying on one person’s availability and expertise. Large network agencies bring deep benches and enterprise tools, but smaller accounts sometimes get passed to junior staff. At First Rank, you get senior-level attention, direct access to the people managing your campaigns, and the flexibility to scale as your business grows.
That’s one of the most common reasons businesses reach out to us. We’ll start with a full account audit covering wasted spend percentage, search term relevance, impression share, conversion tracking accuracy, and campaign structure. From there, we’ll give you an honest assessment of what’s fixable and what needs rebuilding. We’ve turned around dozens of underperforming accounts and are happy to show you exactly what we’d change before you commit.
