Digital PR Services in Canada: One Asset, Two Media Markets, and Which of Your Pages Needs Which

English and French Canadian media do not share stories, sources or links. Twenty English placements do nothing for the French pages that compete in Quebec, and a proposal listing “Canadian media” as one outlet list has not noticed. This page covers how we decide which pages need which language’s links, how one asset is briefed for two presses, and what it costs. Campaigns are priced per campaign in Canadian dollars after a brief; the link-gap audit starts at CA$2,500; every meeting is a video call in your province’s business hours.

Frequently asked questions

How much does digital PR cost in Canada?

Per campaign, in Canadian dollars, quoted after a brief; a campaign that runs in both English and French media is scoped as two outlet lists with one asset. The smallest order is one campaign in one language. A link-gap and authority audit starts at CA$2,500; campaigns are scheduled inside managed SEO from CA$3,000 per month on plans that need them, and Canadian retainers generally sit between CA$1,500 and CA$5,000.

Do we need a French campaign if our site is in English?

Only if the pages you want to lift compete in French search results. If you sell in Quebec and the French versions of your pages matter, French-language media is where their links have to come from; English coverage rarely transfers. The audit checks where your French competitors’ links come from before any French outreach is proposed.

Is a paid placement in a Canadian publication digital PR?

No. Sponsored content must be labeled and should carry a sponsored link attribute, which passes no ranking value, and under the Competition Act and Quebec’s consumer rules undisclosed paid content is a risk for the advertiser too. Campaign placements are earned editorial decisions; paid placements are sold separately on our guest post and link insertion pages.

How do you measure a Canadian campaign?

Referring domains earned by language, with syndicated copies across newspaper chains recorded separately; the ranking change on the target pages at 8 and 12 weeks in Canadian English and French search results; branded search; and inquiries, calls, forms and sales attributed to those pages, in Canadian dollars.

Can you white-label digital PR for our agency?

Yes. Agencies brief us per client and per language, outreach runs without naming us, and the coverage log arrives in your template; per-campaign pricing applies. See the white label SEO page.
