Why Trust Clutch

At Clutch, we believe trust is the foundation of every business relationship. Our mission is to help buyers make confident, data-backed decisions informed by real client experiences.

Every review on Clutch undergoes a rigorous, human-led verification process to make sure it’s valid. Our team of specialists confirms the identity of each reviewer, ensures the project is legitimate, and only publishes reviews that meet our strict criteria.

Verification doesn’t stop at the point of publication. Our Trust & Safety team routinely audits older reviews against our guidelines. When reviews fall short of our standards, we remove them.

We evaluate service providers using a structured methodology that combines:

  • In-depth client interviews and ratings
  • Comprehensive project details
  • Market presence
  • Portfolio examples and industry recognition

This data powers tools like the Leaders Matrix, which helps you compare agencies directly. Our research team curates rankings by weighing verified reviews most heavily, so the most trusted and experienced providers rise to the top.

Using this unique combination of verified client feedback and provider-supplied insights, Clutch distills the most important details into clear, digestible summaries so you have everything you need to make confident, informed decisions quickly.

We take fraud seriously. Providers who violate our guidelines may face lower rankings, restricted visibility, or removal from the platform altogether.

Clutch’s commitment to transparency is ongoing. We’re constantly refining our systems to protect the integrity of reviews and support you in finding the right agency.

Montreal Digital Marketing Agency FAQs

Montreal-based digital marketing firms understand Quebec’s language laws (Bill 64, Bill 96) and cultural nuances that impact copy, creative, and ad targeting. They also have insider connections to influencers, media outlets like La Presse, and Montreal Tech events.

If your brand targets francophone buyers or operates in regulated industries (e.g., gaming, fintech), a home-grown partner can navigate compliance faster than an out-of-province vendor.

Budgets for hiring a Montreal-based digital marketing team vary because of factors like team size, creative requirements, and project scope. Based on data gathered by Clutch, most agencies charge:

  • Hourly rates: CAD$100 – CAD$149
  • Monthly retainers: CAD$4,000 – CAD$15,000 (ideal for engagements like integrated SEO + PPC campaigns)
  • Project-based engagements (e.g., a 3-month social launch): usually start at CAD $12,000

Compared with Toronto or major U.S. cities, Montreal’s cost of living keeps rates competitive without sacrificing talent quality.

Montreal-based digital marketing agencies often work with a variety of clients thanks to the city’s rich economy, including sectors such as:

  • SaaS and AI startups clustered around Notman House
  • Gaming and VR studios in Mile-Ex
  • E-commerce brands in fashion and lifestyle
  • Aerospace and manufacturing companies tied to Bombardier’s supply chain
  • Nonprofits and cultural institutions like museums and festivals

Many service providers offer bilingual content production to reach both English- and French-speaking audiences.

  1. Define your project’s unique KPIs (e.g., 40% lead growth, 3x ROAS).
  2. Shortlist agencies with relevant case studies and a minimum 4.5-star Clutch rating.
  3. Ask about their experience with Quebec privacy rules and language compliance.
  4. Request a sample reporting dashboard to gauge transparency.
  5. Meet the account team—not just the sales rep—to confirm cultural fit and communication style.

  • Guaranteed rankings or overnight results (SEO and paid media require testing).
  • Vague pricing with hidden platform fees.
  • No bilingual capabilities when your audience is mixed.
  • Limited access to campaign data or refusal to share ad accounts.
  • High staff turnover that could disrupt continuity.
