Above The Fold Media Inc.

What Above The Fold Media Inc. does

Above The Fold Media Inc. is a privately held, boutique digital marketing agency headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with regional service delivery across seven Canadian cities. The firm provides SEO, pay-per-click (Google AdWords) management, inbound marketing, website consultations, and vertical-specialized marketing services for law firms, with a secondary footprint in healthcare (orthodontics) and background screening.

The agency's core offering is built around a tiered subscription service catalog rather than proprietary technology. Its tech stack relies on third-party platforms — Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, call tracking systems, and HubSpot inbound marketing software — supplemented by a HubSpot partnership for marketing automation workflows. Differentiated methodologies include an SEO Optimization Framework, a 90-Day Inbound Marketing Plan, and a Law Firm Marketing Solutions product line. No API, SDK, or proprietary AI/ML capability is offered.

Revenue is generated through monthly retainer subscriptions ranging from $1,500 to $12,000, organized into two pricing ladders (The Starter/Builder/Professional at $1,500-$4,000/month and Eighth Page/Quarter Page/Half Page/Above The Fold at $3,000-$12,000/month), each paired with a $1,500 setup fee. The go-to-market is sales-led and consultation-based, targeting small business owners, marketing professionals, and mid-market clients across legal, healthcare, and professional services. The firm is founder-led, has 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding, and is positioned as a hands-on boutique alternative to large marketing agencies.
