About VS Maciel
What services does VS Maciel offer?
VS Maciel is a digital marketing agency offering website design and development, SEO, paid advertising (Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), AI automation, visual identity and branding, and social media strategy. Most clients start with one service and expand as their needs grow, though many prefer having everything managed under one team for consistency.
Do you only work with businesses in Winnipeg, or can you help companies in other countries?
We're headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, but the majority of our work happens remotely. We currently support clients across Canada, the United States, and other countries, using video calls and shared project dashboards to keep communication clear regardless of location.
What industries does VS Maciel work with?
We work with businesses across a range of industries rather than specializing in one niche. Our process is built around understanding each client's specific market and audience, so the strategy is shaped by your business, not a generic template.
How do you communicate with clients in different time zones?
We schedule calls around your availability and keep projects moving with written updates, shared dashboards, and clear milestones, so you're never stuck waiting on a live meeting to know where things stand.
Getting Started & Pricing
How much does it cost to work with VS Maciel?
Cost depends on the scope of the project, a website, for example, is priced differently than an ongoing SEO or advertising engagement. We provide a free quote after learning about your goals, so pricing reflects what you actually need rather than a flat package.
Do you require long-term contracts?
Website and branding projects are typically completed as a one-time build, but we don't disappear once it's live. Ongoing updates, tweaks, and support are always available if you need them. SEO, advertising, and automation are ongoing services by nature, and across the board, we don't lock clients into long-term contracts, we earn the relationship through results.
What information do you need from me before starting a project?
Generally, we need a clear picture of your business goals, target audience, and any existing brand assets, like a logo or previous website. We'll walk you through exactly what's needed during your free consultation.
Do you offer a free consultation or quote?
Yes. Contact us with a bit about your project and we'll follow up with a free, no-obligation quote.
Can small businesses work with VS Maciel, or do you only take on large clients?
We work with businesses of many sizes. What matters more than company size is whether there's a clear goal we can help you reach, from a first website to a full digital marketing strategy.
What's the best service to start with if I have a limited budget?
For most new businesses, a well-built website is the right starting point, since it's the foundation everything else, SEO, ads, social, points back to. If you already have a solid website, SEO or paid advertising are usually the next highest-impact investment.
SEO & Rankings
Can you guarantee first-page Google rankings?
No, and any agency that guarantees specific rankings is worth treating with caution, since no one controls Google's algorithm. What we can guarantee is a transparent, data-driven process: technical fixes, keyword strategy, and content built to improve visibility over time, with regular reporting so you can see exactly what's working.
What's the difference between SEO and paid advertising, and which one do I need?
SEO builds organic, unpaid visibility over months and keeps working long after the initial investment; paid advertising delivers traffic immediately but stops once the budget stops. Many businesses benefit from both, ads for quick results while SEO builds momentum in the background.
Working With Us
Do you offer ongoing support after a website launches?
Yes. We offer post-launch support for updates and fixes, and many clients continue with us for SEO or advertising once the site is live.
How long does a typical project take?
Most website projects take 3–6 weeks depending on scope. Branding projects typically take 2–4 weeks. SEO, advertising, and automation are ongoing services, with the first strategy phase usually completed within the first 2–3 weeks.
