The Ginger Agency
Largest full-service marketing agency in New Brunswick. Fredericton + Saint John offices. ~25 employees post-Bonfire acquisition.
Best for
Mid-sized NB businesses, public-sector clients, and brands that need a full marketing engagement (strategy + PR + media buying + creative + video) under one roof.
Scope
Strategic marketing, PR, media buying, digital strategy, creative, video production. SEO is one capability among many. They are a brand + marketing shop first.
Pricing model
Project-based and retainer engagements. Pricing not published. Likely starting in mid-four-figures-per-month for a meaningful retainer based on agency-of-record positioning.
Who you talk to
Account director. Day-to-day work routed through the relevant department (digital, creative, PR).
Where SEO fits
Inside a broader brand or campaign engagement. SEO can be excellent here when bundled with paid media + creative for a launch, but is not the core specialty.
TRL Solutions
Atlantic Canada IT services + digital marketing shop. Headquartered in NB.
Best for
Businesses that already use TRL for managed IT (network, cybersecurity, support) and want to extend the relationship to digital marketing rather than add another vendor.
Scope
IT services as the primary line of business. Digital marketing including SEO is one of several offerings. SEO is not their core specialization.
Pricing model
Custom quotes. Pricing not published. Likely bundled with IT engagements when sold to existing customers.
Who you talk to
Sales engineer or account manager. SEO work likely subcontracted or handled by a junior team member given it is not the core service line.
Where SEO fits
Side-offering inside a broader IT relationship. Reasonable if you are already a TRL customer. Not where you go if SEO is your primary need.

How to Pick
When Ginger is the right call
You need a brand refresh, a multi-channel campaign, PR plus paid plus creative, or you are running a six-figure annual marketing budget and want one agency holding the rope.
When TRL is the right call
You already work with TRL on IT and trust them. The SEO work is incremental to a relationship that already exists. Adding a separate SEO vendor would be more friction than it is worth at your scale.
When Fredericton Local SEO is the right call
Local SEO is the actual problem. Your customers are in Fredericton or Greater Fredericton. You want flat-fee pricing, no contract, and direct access to the practitioner. Not a brand refresh. Not bundled IT services. Just the local SEO work, done well, every month.
