Meerkat Marketing

What Meerkat Marketing does

Meerkat Marketing is an Ottawa-based boutique full-service marketing agency founded in 2014. The firm delivers B2B and B2C marketing services including Virtual CMO engagements, marketing strategy and audits, branding, website and graphic design, content marketing, social media management (with a deep LinkedIn specialization), digital advertising, and SEO. It added a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) line aimed at improving client visibility in AI-powered search platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Technology stack centers on WordPress and Shopify for site builds, LinkedIn Premium's AI writing features, and third-party generative AI tools used in content workflows.

The firm targets small and mid-sized businesses in the National Capital Region and across North America, with a customer roster that includes local SMBs (e.g., TerraHR Consulting, Floodlight Electric, Jennings Real Estate, numbercrunch) alongside enterprise references (Bell, BMO, Nissan Canada, Moosehead). Its employee base is small (1-10), with leadership structured around CEO Kyle Turk and Director of Content Marketing Amanda Foget. Pricing is quote-based and engagement-scoped rather than published. Distribution is consultative and referral-driven, with no disclosed paid acquisition channels; the agency generates inbound interest via its website (meerkatmarketing.ca), thought-leadership content, awards, and community visibility through Ottawa Business Journal and the Ottawa Board of Trade.

On August 28, 2025, Meerkat Marketing was acquired in an all-cash transaction by Ottawa-based digital marketing agency seoplus+; Meerkat now operates as a division of seoplus+, leveraging the parent's broader SEO, PPC, geo lead-generation, and AI tooling capabilities. Prior to the acquisition, the firm reported 668.86% revenue growth between its first and third fiscal years, the basis for its #2 ranking in OBJ's 2026 Fastest Growing Companies list. No external venture funding rounds were disclosed.
