#1: PPC Pros Canada, best for Langley businesses that want leads from paid ads

PPC Pros Canada is a Canadian paid advertising agency. We build and manage Google Ads, Local Services Ads, Performance Max, Microsoft Ads and Facebook and Instagram ads, and we measure success by calls, leads and booked jobs rather than clicks.

  • Facebook and Instagram ads for offers, seasonal pushes and retargeting
  • Call, form and booked-job tracking set up and tested
  • Landing pages written for each service and area

  • Ad accounts in your name: you keep the history and data if you ever leave
  • A free audit of your current Google Ads before you commit

How we approach Langley

  • Township and City coverage. Both municipalities targeted, with neighbourhood bid adjustments for Willoughby and Walnut Grove.
  • Acreage campaigns. Excavation, drainage and land-care keywords for rural properties.
  • Nearby cities. Separate Surrey and Abbotsford campaigns if you serve them.

What our ads look like

Below are examples of the kind of Google Search ad, Local Services ad and Facebook ad we build for Langley. Every ad repeats what the customer searched for, shows proof such as reviews and licences, and gives one clear next step.

Not the right fit if: you mainly need a new brand identity, organic social media posting or a full website rebuild. A full-service agency is usually better for that.

#2: Full-service local marketing agencies

Pros

  • One team for branding, website, SEO, social media and ads
  • Face-to-face meetings are often possible
  • Good when you are starting from nothing

Watch out for

  • Paid ads may be one small part of what they do well
  • Bundled retainers make it hard to see what you pay for ads management
  • Account work is sometimes handed to junior staff

Ask who manages paid ads specifically, and how many ad accounts that person handles.

#3: Large national and global agencies

Pros

  • Deep teams: analysts, designers, video, strategy
  • Strong processes and reporting
  • Good for multi-location and franchise brands

Watch out for

  • High minimum budgets and fees
  • Smaller Langley businesses may get little senior attention
  • Slower changes because of process and approvals

#4: Freelance Google Ads and Facebook ads specialists

Pros

  • Usually the lowest monthly fee
  • You speak directly to the person doing the work
  • Flexible and quick to start

Watch out for

  • No backup when they are sick, on holiday or too busy
  • Tracking, landing pages and design may not be covered
  • Quality varies widely, so check their work carefully

#5: Hiring an in-house marketer

Pros

  • Full-time focus on your business
  • Knows your services, staff and customers deeply
  • Can handle marketing beyond ads

Watch out for

  • Salary, benefits and tools usually cost more than an agency fee
  • One person rarely masters Google Ads, Meta ads, tracking and landing pages
  • Knowledge leaves when they leave

#6: Lead-generation platforms and shared-lead services

Pros

  • Leads can start within days
  • No campaigns to manage
  • Useful to fill a slow month

Watch out for

  • The same lead is often sold to several businesses
  • You pay per lead forever and build no ad history or brand
  • Little control over lead quality and area

What a well-built Google Ads account looks like in Langley

The first thing to check in any agency proposal is the campaign structure. A good agency splits your services into separate campaigns so each one gets its own budget, ads and landing page. A weak one puts everything in one campaign and lets Google decide. Here is the structure we would start with (example: landscaping companies in Langley).

Homeowners rarely search for a landscaper until they have a project in mind, so the people who search are close to hiring. Google Ads puts you in front of them at the exact moment they are comparing quotes, and lets you choose which work you want: large design-build projects, recurring maintenance or seasonal cleanups.

Budget math: what you can afford to pay per lead

A good agency starts with your numbers, not a package price. The question is simple: how much gross profit does one job bring, and how many leads become customers? That gives you the most you can pay per lead and still make money. Below is a worked example for an interlock patio. Your own numbers will differ.

Use our cost per lead guide to work out your own target, and see what Google Ads costs in Canada.

Google Ads Settings › Bidding Example account
What do you want to focus on?Conversions
Bid strategyMaximize conversions
Set a target cost per action $500.00

Recommended from your numbers: $4,000 profit per job × 25% of leads that become customers = $1,000 breakeven. We start around half of that.

Worked example: an interlock patio

When to spend: the landscaping marketing calendar

Demand for landscaping is not flat through the year. The best agencies raise budgets before the busy season, not during it, and cut spend in slow months instead of wasting it.

Your first 90 days with a marketing agency

  1. Week 1

    Audit and tracking

    Review past campaigns, set up and test call, form and booked-job tracking. Nothing else matters until this works.

  2. Weeks 2–3

    Launch the core campaigns

    Search campaigns for your most profitable landscaping services, plus Local Services Ads where eligible.

  3. Weeks 4–6

    Clean up and learn

    Weekly search terms review, negative keywords, ad testing and first landing page improvements.

  4. Weeks 7–12

    Scale what works

    Move budget to the campaigns with the lowest cost per booked job, and add Facebook and Instagram for offers and retargeting.

By day 90 you should know your cost per lead and cost per booked job for each service. If an agency cannot tell you those numbers, that is a warning sign.

How to score agency proposals side by side

Give each agency you speak to a score out of 5 on each line, multiply by the weight, and compare totals. It keeps the decision about results, not sales presentations.

What to scoreWeightWhat a 5/5 looks like
Tracking plan×3Calls, forms and booked jobs tracked and imported into Google Ads
Understanding of landscaping×3Talks about your job values, seasons and rules without being prompted
Account ownership×2Ad accounts in your name from day one
Contract terms×2Month-to-month or a short trial period
Reporting×2Monthly report on leads, cost per lead and booked jobs, with search terms shared
Who does the work×1You know the name of the specialist managing your account
Price transparency×1Management fee separate from ad spend

What your monthly report should show

Every month you should receive numbers that connect ad spend to revenue. For landscaping companies, these are the conversions and metrics that matter:

Ask to see these every month:

  • Quote requests by project type
  • Phone calls over 60 seconds
  • Booked site visits
  • Signed project value

If your report only shows clicks, impressions and click-through rate, ask for more. See the conversion tracking checklist.

What marketing costs in Langley

132,603Township of Langley 132,603 and City of Langley 28,963 (2021 Census)
Highadvertising competition (our assessment)
BCBritish Columbia rules apply

Langley is more competitive every year as it grows, but costs are usually lower than Vancouver and Burnaby.

Langley budgets should favour exterior and property projects, with seasonal increases in spring and fall.

Your total cost has two parts: ad spend, paid directly to Google or Meta, and the management fee you pay the agency. Keep them separate. For typical numbers, see how much Google Ads costs in Canada and try our cost per lead calculator.

What the best Langley agency should know about your market

Langley covers two municipalities, the City of Langley and the much larger Township of Langley, with fast-growing Willoughby subdivisions, established Walnut Grove neighbourhoods and rural acreages. Acreages and new builds create strong demand for landscaping, excavation, fencing and exterior work.

Searches that bring Langley customers

  • “landscaping langley”
  • “excavation langley bc”
  • “roofing langley”
  • “pressure washing langley”
  • “renovation contractor willoughby”

A good agency will ask which of these services make you the most money, then build campaigns around those first. Nearby areas like Surrey, Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Fort Langley should be targeted only if you actually serve them.

How to choose the right marketing agency in Langley

A simple way to choose1Know your goalLeads, brand or website?2Shortlist 2–3Matching that goal3Ask the questionsAccounts, contract, tracking4Get an auditSee how they think5Review at 90 daysCost per booked job
Figure: Decide what you need first, then compare only agencies built for that job.

Ask every agency these questions before you sign:

  • Will the Google Ads and Meta ad accounts be in my name, and do I keep them if I leave?
  • Is the contract month-to-month, and what is the notice period?
  • Is my ad spend billed separately from your fee, so I can see what goes to Google and Meta?
  • How will you track calls, forms and booked jobs, not just clicks?
  • Who will actually manage my account day to day, and how many accounts do they handle?
  • What will you report each month, and will you show me the search terms report?
  • Can you show me work for a business like mine, with permission from that client?
  • What happens in the first 30, 60 and 90 days?

Red flags to avoid

  • They keep your ad account. If you leave, you lose years of data. Your accounts should always be in your name.
  • Long lock-in contracts with high cancellation fees before they have shown any results.
  • Guaranteed rankings or guaranteed lead numbers. Nobody controls Google’s or Meta’s auctions.
  • Ad spend and management fee mixed together on one invoice, so you cannot see what Google was actually paid.
  • Reports full of clicks and impressions but nothing about calls, leads or booked jobs.
  • No questions about your business: margins, service area, capacity, which jobs you want more of.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best marketing agency in Langley?

For Google Ads, Local Services Ads and Facebook ads, our pick is PPC Pros Canada, and we wrote this guide. The best choice depends on your goal: a full-service agency may suit you better if you mainly need a brand and website.

How much does a marketing agency cost in Langley?

It depends on the scope. Paid ads management is usually a monthly fee, separate from the ad spend you pay Google or Meta. Full-service retainers that include websites, SEO and social media cost more.

Should I hire a local Langley agency or a Canada-wide agency?

What matters most is whether they understand your market, service area and province’s rules. Paid ads are managed online, so a Canadian agency that knows Langley well can serve you as effectively as one down the street.

Should I sign a long-term marketing contract?

Be careful. Month-to-month terms, or a short trial period, protect you if results do not come. Make sure you own your ad accounts either way.

What is the best marketing mix for Langley?

Google Search for active searches, Facebook project showcases, and Local Services Ads for trades.
