    L'agence de Référencement No1 au Québec

    Augmenter le trafic sur votre site web en améliorant votre positionnement sur la recherche Google. Demandez un audit SEO gratuit de votre site. Vous demandez-vous pourquoi votre site web reçoit peu de trafic ? Pourquoi vos compétiteurs se retrouvent-ils devant vous sur les recherches Google ? La réponse : leur SEO est tout simplement supérieur au vôtre. Pourquoi faire équipe avec ProStar SEO? - Explications précise de la situation SEO de votre site. - Meilleurs référencement de votre site sur Google et Bing. - Pas de contrat à long terme, ce qui nous pousse à performer. - Les prix les plus compétitifs sur le marché. Le SEO c’est un marathon. Des résultats seront visibles dès le début, mais multiplier le trafic sur un site est un travail de longue haleine. Le référencement, c’est une bataille qui ne se termine jamais. Capturez la première position sur Google, c’est une chose, la garder c’en est une autre…Le référencement, c’est le seul « free lunch » que nous offre l’internet. En quoi sommes-nous différents des autres agences SEO? Si vous vous demandez s’il est important de figurer dans les premiers résultats lors d’une recherche sur Google, rappelez-vous cette statistique : la première et la deuxième position naturelle sur la première page des résultats Google capturent 57 % des clics ! Il y a très peu d’agences spécialisées dans le référencement au Québec. Il y a cependant des centaines d’agences Web qui offrent les services SEO.Quelques-unes sont excellentes, plusieurs n’offrent qu’un service de référencement superficiel. La majorité des agences Web se targuent d’exceller dans tous les domaines : Conception de site Web, Référencement, Marketing Web, Publicité, Réseaux sociaux, Rédaction, Traduction, Gestion de communautés, et plus encore. Chez Prostar SEO, nous croyons qu’il est préférable d’exceller dans un seul domaine plutôt que d’être moche dans plusieurs. C’est pourquoi toutes les actions que nous posons visent l’augmentation du trafic vers votre site.

Insights from Our Expert: Online Advertising Agencies in Edinburgh

Edinburgh, renowned for its rich history and vibrant culture, is also making a mark in the digital marketing sphere. As a pivotal city in the UK for innovation, Edinburgh boasts an impressive array of online advertising agencies. With a base consisting of numerous providers, showing 12 projects and 18 client reviews, Edinburgh is a critical player in the online advertising industry.

Key Players and Their Achievements

Diverse Range of Agencies

In Edinburgh, online advertising agencies offer a wide array of services tailored to meet diverse business needs. From large, well-known firms to specialized boutiques, each agency brings its unique flair and expertise to the market.

Prestigious Clients and Awards

Edinburgh agencies have worked with renowned clients such as local tourism boards, major educational institutions, and leading tech start-ups, demonstrating their capability to handle substantial projects successfully. They are also recognized by prestigious accolades such as the Drum Digital Trading Awards and the European Search Awards, underlining their excellence and proficiency.

Client Reviews

Client feedback is crucial for choosing an online advertising agency. With 18 reviews, Edinburgh's agencies receive significant recognition from their clients, highlighting the quality and effectiveness of their services. This feedback is vital in assessing the performance and reliability of agencies.

Choosing the Right Online Advertising Agency

Evaluating Your Budget

Budget is a key factor in selecting an online advertising agency. In Edinburgh, pricing can vary depending on the agency's size and reputation. It's essential to clearly define your budget and expectations before choosing an agency. Here are some tips for businesses of different sizes:

Small Businesses and Startups

For small businesses and startups, working with medium-sized or specialized boutique agencies can be a wise choice. These agencies often offer competitive rates while delivering high-quality services. For example, a basic online advertising campaign might cost between £2,000 and £10,000.

Mid-sized Enterprises

Mid-sized businesses might have more complex needs and accordingly larger budgets. Partnering with agencies that have a robust experience and a diverse team can prove to be beneficial. Costs for a comprehensive online advertising strategy, including display ads, PPC, and social media marketing, can range from £10,000 to £50,000.

Large Enterprises

Large enterprises may require sophisticated, large-scale online advertising strategies. Working with top-tier agencies ensures top-level reach and quality. Budgets for such extensive campaigns can start from £50,000 and scale up to much higher figures depending on the complexity of the project.

Reviewing Past Work

Reviewing previous works of an agency is a key step. The 12 projects showcased on their profiles provide a valuable insight into each agency’s skills and style, allowing businesses to find an agency whose creative vision aligns with their own brand.

Whether a sprawling enterprise seeking a global outreach strategy or a small business aiming to boost online presence, Edinburgh has an agency that fits your needs.
