Curve Communications

What Curve Communications does

Curve Communications Group Ltd. is a Vancouver, BC-based founder-owned digital marketing agency founded in 2000 by George Affleck. The company operates as a managed lead-generation services provider for small and mid-sized businesses across Canada, with explicit mention of US availability on its pricing materials. Its positioning centers on the thesis that most small businesses have a follow-up problem rather than a traffic problem, and it sells integrated marketing systems rather than individual services. The offering includes conversion-focused website design, local SEO including Google Business Profile optimization, Google Ads management, Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Ads management, and a unified CRM/automation platform branded as CedarCRM that is built on GoHighLevel infrastructure. The product suite is delivered through four publicly disclosed monthly subscription tiers: Foundation at $497, Google Ads at $997, Google and Meta at $1,497, and Full Operation at $1,997, with ad spend billed separately at cost pass-through. Curve added AI Voice AI Receptionist and AI Web Chat capabilities in 2024 to provide 24/7 automated lead capture and qualification, and has introduced Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) targeting AI-search platforms. Primary customer segments are home services and trades, professional services, health and wellness practices, and educational and non-profit organizations, all addressed through a horizontal SMB segmentation approach. The company currently maintains 40+ active retainer clients and reports 500+ businesses supported cumulatively over its 25+ year history. The legal entity is Curve Communications Group Ltd., incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, and remains privately held under its founder with no disclosed external investment or institutional backing.
