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.

PPC Agencies in Canada FAQs
Partnering locally offers unmatched strategic benefits that could be game-changing for your project. Clients can expect Canadian PPC agencies to bring:
- Market insight into Canadian search behaviour, including bilingual queries in Quebec.
- Familiarity with privacy rules like PIPEDA and province-specific CASL email regulations.
- Easier collaboration across time zones (Pacific to Atlantic) and access to in-person strategy sessions in major hubs such as Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal.
- Currency alignment (CAD billing) that simplifies budgeting for home-market campaigns.
Most PPC agencies in Canada charge CAD120 – CAD200 per hour or offer monthly retainers from CAD1,500 – CAD7,500. Smaller local campaigns (e.g., a single province) may start around CAD1,000 per month, while national ecommerce or multilingual efforts can exceed CAD10,000 per month once media spend and management fees are combined.
Pricing is influenced by several factors, including industry competitiveness, ad spend, and agency expertise. Before signing any agreement, request a quote for your project to review the cost breakdown and avoid financial strain.
Because Canada’s economy is diversified, many agencies routinely support businesses and organizations from all sorts of sectors, including:
- Technology and SaaS (Toronto-Waterloo Corridor)
- E-commerce and DTC brands (leveraging Shopify)
- Natural resources and energy (Calgary & Edmonton)
- Tourism and hospitality (Vancouver, Banff, Atlantic Canada)
- Financial services and fintech (Toronto, Montreal)
Specialized teams also exist for healthcare, higher education, and government projects requiring bilingual compliance.
- Define your project’s specific goals and KPIs—CPL, ROAS, or revenue growth.
- Shortlist top agencies with verified Clutch reviews matching your industry.
- Request case studies that include Canadian market examples or bilingual campaigns if needed.
- Clarify which tools they use for their workflow (e.g., Optmyzr, Search Ads 360) and their reporting cadence.
- Compare pricing models—percentage of ad spend vs. flat monthly fee—to ensure transparency.
- Promising “instant first-place” results or guaranteeing exact ROAS figures.
- Lack of clarity on ownership of ad accounts or data.
- One-size-fits-all keyword lists that ignore regional spelling (e.g., “colour” vs. “color”).
- No experience with bilingual ads if Quebec is a target market.
- Minimal reporting detail—look for agencies that share impression-level data, not just high-level metrics.
