Web first: websites that grow your business
Actif Marketing is a web design and SEO agency on Montréal’s South Shore. We know automotive, real estate and renovation particularly well — and with our Ready14 product, your website is ready in 14 days.
Our story
Actif Marketing was born from a simple observation: in Quebec, too many good businesses stay invisible online. Garages that have done solid work for twenty years, real estate brokers who know their territory inside out, renovation contractors whose job sites speak for themselves — and yet, when a potential customer types their trade and their town into Google, other names come up. Not because they are better, but because someone took care of their web presence.
We built our agency to correct that imbalance. Based in Sainte-Julie, on Montréal’s South Shore, we work with small and mid-sized businesses that have neither a marketing department nor time for the subtleties of SEO. Our job is to translate what they do well into an online presence that brings calls, quote requests and appointments — not just visits.
That is also where Ready14 came from, our in-house product: a complete professional website delivered in 14 days at a fixed price. Because a contractor who waits six months for a website loses six months of customers, and because an unpredictable invoice makes a lot of people back away. Design, content, SEO and launch are included, and you know upfront what you are paying.
Our mission
Give Quebec SMBs a professional website that gets found on Google and pays for itself — quickly, without jargon, at a predictable price.
How we work
We start by understanding
Before designing anything, we want to know who your customers are, how they look for you and what makes them choose you. A site built without that understanding is a nice brochure that doesn’t convert.
We write your copy
Copywriting is the number one reason web projects drag on for months. We handle it: your services, your pages, your answers to common questions, written for your customers and for Google.
SEO from the ground up
Page structure, speed, mobile, structured data, Google Business Profile: SEO is built in from the start, not bolted on later when it is already too late.
We speak plainly
No jargon, no cryptic reports, no promise of first position — nobody can guarantee that. Concrete actions and results you can verify yourself.
The industries we know best
We work with businesses in every sector, but three markets come back constantly — so much so that we built pages, content and processes specifically for them.
Automotive
Garages, repair shops and dealerships: online booking, per-service pages and visibility in “garage near me” searches.
Real estate
Brokers and agencies: strong personal branding, property listings and tools that capture sellers before your competitors do.
Renovation
Construction and renovation contractors: before-after galleries, pre-qualifying quote requests and credibility on display.
A local team
Our office is in Sainte-Julie, and most of our clients are less than thirty minutes away: Boucherville, Varennes, Saint-Bruno, Chambly, Beloeil, Longueuil, Brossard. We know the markets, the municipalities and the buying habits of the South Shore because we live here. We also support businesses in Montréal, Laval, Lanaudière, the Laurentians and the Quebec City area — the web has no borders, but understanding the local market changes everything. When you call, you speak to someone who knows your file, not a call centre.
Michel Aubin
Founder — obsessed with the web
No outsourcing.
Everything is made here, in Quebec.
Dozens of sites, from the simplest to the heaviest: the veterinary clinic or the construction contractor who needs a clear, fast presence, all the way to an online store carrying more than half a million products. Those are two different technical worlds. We work in both.
Nothing is sent offshore. The design, the development, the copywriting and the SEO all happen here, done by people you can call and meet. No time zones to work around, no middleman relaying your feedback to a team you will never see.
We are demanding about it, and we own that. About the design, about the visual detail, about loading speed. A beautiful site that crawls, or a fast site that looks like 2012 — both are failed sites.
