Startemup
Startemup is a full-service Canadian digital marketing agency that runs local SEO, social media management, Google and Meta advertising, web design and email marketing from one team. The agency says its Toronto work focuses on med spas and aesthetic clinics, where it builds the whole system around attracting new patients, filling the booking calendar and bringing past patients back.
It was founded by CEO Emily Bassett, with co-founder Connor Rutledge, and its in-house team covers creative direction, account management, graphic design and paid ads. The agency says it has worked with more than 75 brands, mostly startups and small and medium businesses, and its client testimonials go back to 2020.
What people praise
- Covers SEO, paid ads, social media, web design and email marketing in-house
- Says it focuses on med spas and aesthetic clinics in Toronto
- Dedicated paid ads specialist and creative director on the team
- Built for small and medium businesses rather than enterprise budgets
- Free cost calculators on its site for SEO, PPC and social media budgets
Our take: Startemup makes the most sense for a clinic or small business that wants one team handling search, ads and social together instead of splitting them across separate vendors. Its focus on aesthetic clinics is a real advantage if that is your industry, since the patient-booking funnel works differently from ecommerce. The Google review count is small next to the larger agencies on this page, so ask for case studies from businesses like yours and agree on the metrics they will report before you sign.
