Our full name is Search Engine People but most people call us SEP these days. We are a full service digital marketing agency located in the GTA.

We got our start as an SEO Agency and quickly became Canada’s top SEO Agency with a track record for driving exceptional results. While we still wear that crown our service model has expanded over the years. PPC and Social Media Marketing didn’t exist when we were founded in 2001 but we were early adopters and not several years later are recognized as leaders in the space.

We believe in providing our work with in-house staff. No outsourcing, no secret partnerships. We have team members in Toronto, The GTA (Toronto Suburbs), Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, South of the Border and Abroad.

We believe in driving real results for our clients. We do this by focusing on meaningful goals and warehousing/processing more digital marketing data than other agency out there. Our proprietary tech helps us to lead the charge on our clients’ behalf. In fact, we have invested over $2,000,000.00 into our technology to date.

If you are looking for a digital marketing agency with a proven track record, industry leading tech and strategies that work you have come to the right plan.

At a high level: SEO, PPC, Creative (landing pages and ads), CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization), Content, Social Media Marketing, Display Advertising, Video Advertising and Programmatic.

We are most known for our Search efforts, it’s in our name after all. We have been widely regarded as Canada’s best SEO Agency since 2001 and Canada’s best PPC Agency since 2006.

Our clients look for us to provide the right service based on their goals/needs. We are platform and solution agnostic agency and take pride in putting the client’s outcomes first. Where this means focusing on one strategy or ten strategies simultaneously, we are up to the task.

In other words, if you are looking for a digital marketing agency that can drive true/measurable results… that’s us.

We are an agency for most but not all. We look for clients that are servicing an established market with known demand.

For example, if you invent a better mouse trap we can help you find clients with a rodent problem and sell your product. If you invent a widget that cleans Kazoos there is likely very little we can/would do for you regardless of how big your budget is. Don’t get us wrong, we think a kazoo cleaning widget sounds amazing, we just don’t think there are many buyers out there for it.

As far as company size goes, we have a large range. We take pride in the fact that we have helped countless small business owners grow. We also take pride in the fact that we are able to help enterprise brands lead their industries.

The best way to determine if you are a fit is to reach out to us and have a chat.

Our main office is in Toronto, and we have satellite offices across the country. As Canada's largest digital marketing agency, we aim for both local relevancy and national/international reach. Our entire team is available to work with clients anywhere in the world and in any time zone. Our broad range of SEO services and our deep expertise ensures we are equipped to deliver SEO solutions for businesses of all sizes, regardless of their location.

Most of our staff work out of our Toronto office or one of our satellite offices. We also have employees who work remotely from various locations in North America. Regardless of where we are at the time, we work together seamlessly to deliver high-quality, timely results for our clients.

Our cross-country and international presence allows us to stay connected with a wide range of trends and audiences, giving us richer insights and a broader knowledge base. Each project is project-managed centrally so that we always stay on message and on schedule. We are proud of the team we have built at Search Engine People, which allows our employees an excellent work-life balance without compromising our services.

The cost of our services depends on how large and complex the project is, what your website is like now, and what you want us to do for you.

For example, if your website is fairly simple, and you just want us to do a one-time audit and make some simple changes to move you up in the search engine rankings, our services are quite affordable. For more extensive improvements and ongoing monitoring, you might start at $1000/mo.

Conversely, a business in a very competitive industry that has thousands of web pages and needs a lot of architecture restructuring and an ongoing supply of content might be spending $30,000/mo. or more.

Before you choose an SEO agency, shop around and get estimates. Our approach is to connect you with one of our strategists, who will collect information about your business, the market you are in, who you want to target with your SEO, your competition, your goals, and your website. We will explain our range of services to you and provide you with an estimate.

Absolutely! We want you to make an informed decision, so we are happy to provide an estimate based on your needs and the complexity of the project. First, we will need to consult with you about the size of your business, the current state of your website, and the goals you're hoping to achieve with SEO.

We want you to make the best decision for your business, so we encourage you to shop around and get estimates from other agencies as well. We hope that you give us the opportunity to show you what we can do!

Certainly! We will conduct a thorough audit of your current SEO strategies and identify what has already been done, what is working and what is not. From there, we will design a plan that will help you meet your goals and fill in any gaps that exist.

Whether you are looking to restart SEO from scratch or you just need a few tweaks, we're happy to work with you!

We do not have minimum terms, but we do recommend a minimum period of engagement (4, 6, or 12 months, depending on the project) so that our SEO strategies have time to deliver meaningful results.

In addition, our contracts include a clause that requires a short notice period before we stop working together. That allows us to wrap things up and prepare you to either go it alone or partner with another agency.

That said, clients tend to stay with us for at least a few years or longer because we deliver the results that help them meet their business goals. It is always our hope that we develop an ongoing relationship with our clients so that we can grow along with you.

We do guarantee superior work quality and excellent customer service, but we cannot guarantee specific rankings or outcomes. SEO success is influenced by many factors, including changing search engine algorithms and what your competitors are doing with their SEO and paid search ads, and we have no control over these variables.

However, our track record and our long-term client relationships speak to our success in getting the results our clients are looking for. Our proprietary software also gives you quick, detailed insights into how our SEO strategies are working, so you always have this information at your fingertips. We are committed to transparency and relationship-building, meaning that we will always be straightforward with you about how our SEO strategies are doing.
