01

A marketing agency built for West Island business owners

The West Island runs on local service businesses, clinics, retailers, and eCommerce brands owned by people who built them from the ground up. You don't need a downtown agency that bills you for slide decks and outsources the actual work to a freelancer overseas. GrowthLab is a Montreal agency that does everything in-house — strategy, ad creative, video, web, and reporting — and we speak your customers' language, whether that's the predominantly anglophone West Island or a bilingual campaign that also reaches francophone buyers across the island.

  • Everything done in-house — no subcontracting, no hand-offs, no mystery middlemen
  • Built for SMBs and eCommerce brands already doing $10k+/month
  • Fully bilingual (EN + FR) so you can run English campaigns locally and French ones when you need reach
02

Facebook & Meta ads that bring in real customers

Most West Island businesses we talk to have either never run Meta ads properly or got burned by someone who set up a boosted post and called it a strategy. We build the full system — pixel, audiences, creative, and tested offers — then manage the spend with the same discipline we use on our own brands. We've put over $5M through Meta and generated 1B+ views, so we know what makes a Pointe-Claire clinic, a Kirkland retailer, or a DDO service business actually book more clients.

  • Full-funnel Meta campaigns: account setup, pixel, audiences, and creative
  • Ad creative and UGC produced in-house, not stock and templates
  • Tracking and reporting so you see cost per lead, not just vanity metrics

Google Ads for the searches happening right now

When someone near Fairview Pointe-Claire or along the Highway 40 corridor searches for what you sell, you want to be the result they click. We build and manage Google Ads campaigns — Search, Performance Max, and local — that capture high-intent demand and turn it into calls, bookings, and sales. For Apogee Invest we launched a new landing page paired with paid search and drove a low cost per call. We bring that same focus on profit, not just clicks, to every West Island account.

  • High-intent Search campaigns built around what your customers actually type
  • Landing pages designed to convert the traffic, not just receive it
  • Ongoing optimization toward cost per lead and return on ad spend
04

Websites and eCommerce stores that convert

A lot of West Island businesses are running on a website that looks fine but doesn't sell. We build custom-coded sites and Shopify/eCommerce stores designed around one job: turning visitors into customers. When we launched the custom Bump store it went live above a 4% conversion rate — well past the typical eCommerce benchmark. Whether you're a local retailer, a clinic, or a brand shipping product, we build the site and then drive the traffic that makes it pay off.

  • Custom-coded websites and Shopify stores built to convert, not just look good
  • Conversion-focused design proven on real launches like Bump (4%+)
  • One team for site, ads, and tracking so everything actually works together
05

Video, UGC, and content that earns attention

Ads only work if the creative stops the scroll. We produce video and user-generated-style content in-house — the same approach that helped generate over 1B views across social. For West Island brands, that means real, native-feeling content that speaks to local customers instead of generic stock footage. We shoot, edit, and plug it straight into your Meta and Google campaigns, so your creative and your media buying are never out of sync.

  • In-house video and UGC production — no separate creative agency needed
  • Content built for the platform and the local audience, not recycled templates
  • Creative tied directly into the ad strategy that runs it
06

SEO, lead generation, and automation that compound

Paid ads bring customers today; SEO, lead gen, and automation keep them coming and stop the ones you've earned from slipping through the cracks. We help West Island businesses rank for local searches, capture and nurture leads, and automate the follow-up that turns an inquiry into a booked customer. It's the unglamorous infrastructure most agencies skip — and it's exactly what compounds your results month over month instead of starting from zero every time.

  • Local SEO so you show up when West Island customers search
  • Lead generation systems that fill your pipeline predictably
  • Marketing automation that follows up so no lead goes cold

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with businesses based in the West Island?

Yes. We work with SMBs and eCommerce brands across Pointe-Claire, Dollard-des-Ormeaux (DDO), Kirkland, Beaconsfield, Pierrefonds, Dorval, and Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue. We're a Montreal agency, so we know the local market, the Highway 40 corridor, and the kind of customers West Island businesses are trying to reach. Most of our work is done remotely with regular check-ins, and we can meet when it makes sense.

The West Island is mostly English — do I need French campaigns?

Not necessarily, but it's an advantage you should have on the table. The West Island is predominantly anglophone, so most of your local advertising will run in English. But Montreal is a huge bilingual market, and the moment you want reach beyond the West Island, French campaigns open up a lot more customers. We're fully bilingual and produce both, so you're never limited to half the island.

I've been burned by an agency before. How are you different?

Everything is done in-house — strategy, ads, creative, video, and web are all handled by our own team, never subcontracted out. You're not paying for an account manager who forwards your work to a freelancer. We also built and scaled our own brands to $10M+ online before taking on clients, so we manage your money the way we manage our own: focused on profit, not just clicks and impressions.

What does it cost to work with GrowthLab?

It depends on what you need — ads management, a new website, video production, or a full system across all of them. We work best with businesses already doing $10k+/month, because that's where our work moves the needle fastest. The best next step is a free strategy call. We'll look at your situation and give you a straight answer on what would actually drive growth and what it would take.

Which services do most West Island businesses start with?

It varies by business. Local service businesses and clinics usually start with Google Ads and Meta ads to capture demand right away. eCommerce and retail brands often start with a conversion-focused website or Shopify build plus paid traffic. We'll recommend the highest-leverage starting point for your specific situation rather than selling you everything at once.

How fast will I see results?

Paid ads can start producing leads and sales within the first few weeks once campaigns are live and tracking is in place. SEO, content, and automation compound over a longer horizon but build a foundation that keeps paying off. On the strategy call we'll give you a realistic timeline for your specific goals — no inflated promises, just what we've seen work across $5M+ in managed spend.

Do you only do ads, or can you build the website too?

Both, and they work better together. We build custom-coded websites and Shopify/eCommerce stores designed to convert — our Bump store launched above a 4% conversion rate — and we run the ads that drive traffic to them. Having one in-house team handle the site, the tracking, and the ad strategy means nothing gets lost between vendors and your whole funnel actually works as a system.
