Practical answers about our services, process, packages, and how we help local Courtice businesses grow.

    Our focus is on local, community-driven businesses from Ajax to Newcastle, and we work with organizations of all sizes. If your goals and values fit our approach, we can usually help. Reach out for a free, no-obligation consult to learn more.

  • How do you measure campaign success?


    We use clear reporting tools to track impressions, website traffic, engagement, and leads across every active channel. You receive plain English summaries with each report so you always understand what your campaigns are producing and where we are improving performance over time.

  • Why are your services offered as bundles?

    We offer customized bundled packages because our marketing services work much harder together than alone. Search, social ads, print, and listings reinforce one another when they share a message and a team. Bundling also lowers your total cost and simplifies your monthly reporting.

  • Why do you offer long term contracts?

    Branding is about consistency over time, so longer commitments allow campaigns to mature and produce more accurate results. Our terms are flexible, but giving each plan enough runway is the surest way to see steady growth in traffic, leads, and lasting local brand recognition.

  • Where is The Local Edge located?

    We are headquartered in Courtice, Ontario, with a service area covering Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanville & Newcastle. We meet local clients in person, by phone, or online, based on what works best for your schedule.

  • What services do you offer?

    Our core services include digital advertising on Facebook, Instagram, Google, and Bing, along with SEO, website design, website management, business listing management, traditional print advertising, and local networking and education programs. Every service is customized and bundled to align with your unique goals, budget, and growth strategy.

  • Is the strategy consultation actually free?

    Yes. Every consultation is free with no obligation to continue. We review your current marketing, look for fast wins, and outline a clear custom plan. You walk away with practical next steps you can act on yourself or with our team if you decide to move forward.

  • How quickly will I see results?

    Some channels, like paid digital ads, can produce traffic and leads within days of launch. Others, like SEO and brand building, mature over several months. We set realistic expectations early and report progress every month so you always know exactly where your campaigns stand.

  • Do you handle both digital and print marketing?

    Yes. We design and place digital campaigns and traditional print campaigns under one roof. Combining channels keeps your message consistent and amplifies your reach across audiences who shop online, read local newspapers, or notice direct mail in their daily routine.

  • What are your business hours?

    Our regular office hours are Monday through Friday from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. Saturdays and Sundays are closed, but weekend appointments are available by request. Call our team to schedule a time that fits your work and family commitments around your business.
