A professional website typically costs between $2,000 and $8,000 in Montreal, before you even factor in hosting, SEO, and maintenance. That's a serious upfront cost for a small business just getting started, or simply trying to modernize its online presence. At DigiEvo Marketing, we built a different model with DigiEvo Starter: your website is entirely free, because it's never sold on its own — it always comes paired with long-term SEO, the part that actually brings customers to that website in the first place.
What DigiEvo Starter actually is
DigiEvo Starter is our entry-level service, built for Montreal businesses that want a professional online presence without the usual upfront barriers. It's not a free website handed out on its own, and it's not an SEO package sold separately — it's both, bundled into a single engagement designed to work together from day one.
Free business website
Up to 5 pages, professionally designed and fully mobile-friendly, with no design fees.
Long-term local SEO
Ongoing SEO work to build your visibility on Google, month after month.
Why the website isn't sold on its own
Most agencies sell a website as a finished product — delivered once, then left alone. The problem: a site that never gets touched again quickly loses relevance in Google's eyes, and a business that paid for it once has little reason to keep investing in its SEO afterward. With DigiEvo Starter, the free website and the long-term SEO are inseparable: your site is built from the start to be optimized, properly indexed, and to evolve alongside your content strategy, instead of sitting frozen after launch.

one-time setup fee
$500 / month
for the first 3 months
Pricing is reassessed after the initial period, based on results and scope of ongoing work. The domain name remains your responsibility, e.g. through GoDaddy.
What DigiEvo Starter doesn't include
To be transparent, this model doesn't include paid advertising (Google Ads or Facebook Ads), which DigiEvo Marketing doesn't offer. The first three months aren't about guaranteeing a top-3 Google ranking — they're about building solid SEO foundations. Reaching the top 3 is pursued progressively after that, with no ranking guarantee, but with measurable, tracked progress.
Who DigiEvo Starter works best for
- Montreal small businesses and local professionals with no website yet, or one that's badly outdated;
- Businesses that get most of their customers through online search (plumbers, electricians, real estate agents, clinics);
- Businesses that want to avoid a large upfront web design cost while still getting a professional result;
- Owners who'd rather have a long-term, invested partner than a one-off contract and a site left to rot.
The bottom line
DigiEvo Starter isn't a discount website with optional SEO tacked on — it's a single system built to work together: a professional website that serves as the foundation, and long-term SEO that gives it a reason to exist in the eyes of Google and your future customers. By removing the upfront design cost as a barrier, DigiEvo Marketing lets Montreal businesses focus on what actually matters: being found, at the right time, in the right place.
