Google Ads for Ottawa businesses

Campaigns built around the local jobs you actually want.

I’m Stu, a New Zealand-based Google Ads specialist. I run campaigns for businesses across New Zealand and Canada, targeting the local searches that bring profitable work and blocking the ones that just burn budget, the difference between a click and a real customer.

I’m not based in Ottawa, but Google Ads is managed entirely online, so distance is no barrier. You deal with the person running your campaigns, not a faceless agency or an account manager reading from a script.

Ottawa is Canada's capital and one of its most stable, prosperous markets, powered by government, tech and a steady construction and home-services sector serving a well-educated, growing population. From downtown and the ByWard Market out through Centretown and the Glebe to surrounding communities like Gatineau, Nepean, Barrhaven and Kanata, customers search locally for services near them. In a competitive market, a sharp website and strong local SEO are what get you found first.
