What is different here
- 01
French is the main search language. Keyword research, ads and pages need to be written natively in Quebec French, not translated from English, to rank and convert. Under the Charter, commercial advertising and websites must be available in French, and trademark display rules were tightened from June 2025.
- 02
Privacy rules are stricter. Quebec’s Law 25 sets strong requirements for consent, cookies and personal data, on top of CASL for commercial email and texts, so tracking and lead capture need careful setup.
- 03
Tech and food lead the scene. Montreal’s AI, gaming and SaaS companies sell nationally and internationally, while its restaurants and cafes compete locally on Instagram, Google Maps and reviews.
Common roadblocks
Local competition, language and regulation shape what works. These issues come up most.
English-first marketing
Campaigns and websites that lead in English underperform and can breach language rules.
Machine-translated French
Translated copy sounds foreign to Quebec readers and loses trust.
Law 25 consent
Cookies and tracking without proper consent put data and campaigns at risk.
Crowded food and retail scene
Restaurants and shops compete for attention in dense neighbourhoods.

A written plan covering priorities, channels, budget split, timelines and the KPIs we will be measured on. You approve it before anything goes live.

Measurement

Optimization
We double down on what works, fix or cut what does not and test new ideas each month. Growth comes from this loop, repeated consistently.
