Kamloops, BC · Digital Marketing
Digital marketing for Kamloops businesses that want more customers.
Most Kamloops small businesses have a website, a Google profile, and maybe some social media — and still wonder why the phone isn't ringing. The problem is usually not one missing tactic. It is that the pieces do not connect: a website that does not rank, a Google profile that is half-complete, no system to follow up on missed calls or collect reviews.
I build and manage the full digital marketing picture for Kamloops trades, restaurants, and service businesses — website, local SEO, Google Ads, Google Business Profile, email, and AI automation — so every piece reinforces the others. One person does the work. No agency hand-offs.
The starting point for most businesses is a free review of where the site stands right now, what is suppressing leads, and what to fix first. No pitch, no obligation.
What digital marketing covers.
Each service below can stand alone or run as part of a coordinated strategy. Most Kamloops businesses start with two or three and expand as those produce a return.
Web design and development
A fast, mobile-ready website is the foundation of every other digital channel. Without it, your ads have nowhere to land and your SEO has nothing to optimise. Every site I build is designed to rank and convert from day one.
Learn more →Local SEO and Google Maps
When someone searches for your service in Kamloops, you should appear — on the map and in the organic results. Local SEO is the sustained work that makes that happen without paying for every click.
Learn more →Google Business Profile
Your GBP controls how you appear on Google Maps, in the local pack, and in search results across Google. A properly optimised profile generates calls and direction requests without any ad spend.
Learn more →Google Ads
When you need leads this week, not in six months, search campaigns deliver. I handle keyword research, campaign setup, landing pages, and monthly optimisation — built around phone calls and local intent.
Learn more →Email marketing
Your email list is the one channel you own outright. Past customers already trust you — a monthly newsletter or promotional sequence is the lowest-cost way to keep them coming back and referring others.
Learn more →AI automation
Every missed call is a lost lead. Automated text-back, review requests after every job, and 24/7 booking confirmation turn the gaps in your day into revenue — without adding headcount.
Learn more →Why one person, not an agency.
Digital marketing agencies in Kamloops — and most cities — run on account managers. You brief the account manager, the account manager briefs the designer, the designer passes to the SEO team, and three weeks later you get a deliverable that nobody owns. Every hand-off loses context.
I do not operate that way. I write the copy, build the site, set up the SEO, run the ads, and wire the automations. When something is not working, I know why, because I built it. When you need a change, one message gets it done. For a Kamloops plumber or restaurant owner, that is worth more than an agency's org chart.
The trade-off: I take on a limited number of clients so I can actually do the work. The free review is how we figure out if it is a good fit.

Common questions about digital marketing in Kamloops.
What does digital marketing include for a Kamloops small business?
For most local businesses, digital marketing covers four areas: (1) a fast, well-built website, (2) local SEO and Google Business Profile so you rank when people search for your service, (3) Google Ads for faster lead flow, and (4) automation to follow up on leads and collect reviews after every job. You do not need all four at once — the right starting point depends on what you already have and where the biggest gap is. That is what the free website review covers.
How much does digital marketing cost for a Kamloops business?
A new website typically runs CAD $1,500–$3,000 for a 5-page small-business site. Monthly SEO management starts around $500–$800/month. Google Ads management starts at $400–$600/month plus your own ad spend to Google. AI automation (text-back, review requests, booking) is quoted per setup. Many Kamloops businesses start with a website and one ongoing channel, then layer in more as they see results. Everything is quoted clearly before you commit.
Should I do SEO or Google Ads first?
If you need leads in the next 30 days, start with Google Ads — they generate calls within 48 hours of going live. If you can wait 3–6 months for results and want a lower long-term cost per lead, start with SEO. Most Kamloops businesses benefit from both: ads fill the pipeline while SEO builds. The free review call covers which applies to your situation.
Do I need a marketing agency or can one person handle this?
Most agencies pass your project between account managers, designers, and copywriters who do not know your business. I do the strategy and the work myself — one person, accountable for the result. For a Kamloops trades business, restaurant, or service provider, that means faster decisions, consistent execution, and no finger-pointing between departments. The trade-off is bandwidth — I take on a limited number of clients at a time.
How long before digital marketing generates leads in Kamloops?
Google Ads: 24–48 hours after going live. A properly optimised Google Business Profile: noticeable within 2–4 weeks after accumulating reviews. Local SEO: typically 60–120 days before rankings move meaningfully. Email marketing to an existing list: immediately. AI automation (text-back, review requests): from the moment it is turned on. The fastest-returning combination is a Google-optimised website plus GBP plus a text-back system — often generating leads within the first two weeks.
Do you work with businesses outside Kamloops?
Yes — I serve businesses across the BC Interior: Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Salmon Arm, and surrounding communities. I also work with founders and operators across Canada and the US on marketing systems and web architecture. The service model is the same: one person does the work, not a team of hand-offs.
