Descriptiontext

RippleSmith Services is a privately held digital marketing agency headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, that has been operating since 2010. The firm provides B2B professional services to North American businesses, with an operating footprint spanning Canada and the United States. Its core service portfolio is split between organic Search Engine Optimization (covering SEO strategy and audits, keyword research, on-page optimization, technical SEO, and mobile optimization) and paid Digital Marketing (covering search engine marketing, PPC, display advertising, remarketing, paid social media, and online video). The agency delivers these services through a small team of 1-10 employees, with each PPC manager individually certified in Google AdWords and backed by stated backgrounds in mathematics and analytics.

The underlying technology stack is composed of third-party advertising and analytics platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure. RippleSmith is a Google Ads Certified Partner (Partner ID: 2524034190) and a Bing Ads Accredited Partner, and it leverages Facebook Ads, AdRoll for remarketing across 500+ ad exchanges, and Google Analytics for measurement. The company explicitly positions itself as a service-based agency rather than a software product company. It also dogfoods its own marketing capabilities, using its blog, SEO, and social media presence to generate inbound demand, while maintaining direct contact channels (toll-free phone, email, website form) for client acquisition.

The business model is professional services revenue generated through SEO, PPC, and broader digital marketing engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through contact-based quoting, with no published rate cards or tiered pricing. Customer segments span SMB, mid-market, and a small number of enterprise logos, and named customers include Specops Software, Teletics, Forge and Smith, Blackwave Creative, and Digital Hospitality. RippleSmith is horizontally segmented, serving clients across multiple verticals without disclosed industry specialization, and there is no evidence of external funding rounds, institutional investors, or M&A activity.
