🍁 Built for Hamilton small business

A real website and steady social, for Hamilton shops that'd rather run a business than run an agency.

Hamilton's a city that punches well above its weight — independent shops, working-class trades, a food scene that gets better every year. But the polished competition is real, and most local owners are juggling Instagram on their phone between jobs. We build you a real website and run your Facebook, Instagram, and Google Business Profile so you actually show up when somebody Googles your neighbourhood.

No contracts. No big-agency markup. $500 for a website. $149/mo for social. Or both free with the Zero Cost Plan. No Toronto-agency pricing. Just Canadians who get Hamilton.

★ WE GET HAMILTON

You're behind the counter. Competitors close by. Customers picking from their phones.

Most Hamilton small businesses we meet have the same problem: solid work that gets lost in the noise. The shop down the street with worse work, worse service, worse prices is the one ranking first on Google — because they show up online more polished.

"There are competitors all around me. People decide from Google Maps before they even leave the house. My listing has 12 reviews from 2020. I'm invisible."

You get a real website in 1–2 weeks

A clean, modern, mobile-first 5–7 page site that tells the story of your Hamilton business — your neighbourhood, your hours, your team, your reviews. Built specifically to convert the Hamilton crowd: fast, polished, and click-to-call from the top of the page. $500 one-time and you're done.

"My Instagram had four posts last year. Hamilton runs on Instagram — every café, every salon, every gym is constantly posting. I can't keep up with running my business AND that."

We keep your social alive — across three channels

Send us photos when you can. Behind-the-counter shots, customer moments, new menu items, day-in-the-life. We turn them into 12+ posts a month on Facebook, Instagram, AND your Google Business Profile. Three channels of presence, written by Canadians who get the Hamilton vibe.

"The agency that pitched me wanted $1,200/mo just for social. I'm paying my staff. I can't afford that. But I also can't afford to be invisible."

Hamilton pricing without big-agency markup

$500 for the website, $149/mo for social. That's it. No retainers, no setup fees, no "campaign management" charges, no contracts. We're not an agency with junior account managers — we're two Canadians who do the work ourselves and keep prices honest.

★ STRAIGHT TALK

Why honest Hamilton businesses lose to slicker competitors with worse product.

Hamilton is more competitive than most local owners realize. Every neighbourhood has a polished competitor with a tight Instagram and a clean website. Which means the businesses that win aren't always the best — they're the ones who LOOK the best from a customer's phone.

If your website is broken or your social is dead, you lose Hamilton customers before they ever set foot in your door. Meanwhile, the chain or the well-funded newcomer with worse product and a great feed gets the work — at premium prices.

The gap isn't quality. It's online presence. Closing it doesn't require Bay Street agency money or a marketing degree. It requires a real website and consistent posting on the channels Hamilton customers actually check before they buy.

  1. 01

    Hamilton Google search is more competitive than you think

    "Coffee shop Locke St" returns 30+ options. "Mechanic Hamilton Mountain" returns 40+. Without an active Google Business Profile, you're not even in the conversation.

  2. 02

    The bar for "polished" keeps rising

    Hamilton customers compare your website to the place next door, then the chain across town, then the polished competitor a neighbourhood over. Your site has to clear that bar in 5 seconds.

  3. 03

    Hamilton agency quotes are out of reach

    Hamilton agency quotes sit in the $1,000–$2,500/mo range. That's twice what most owner-operators can stomach. So you DIY, you fall behind, and you stay invisible.

  4. 04

    You're doing your own social on Sundays

    You're a baker, a stylist, a contractor — not a content strategist. Sunday night Instagram isn't a growth strategy. It's burnout with a side of inconsistent posting.

★ SIMPLE PRICING

Two services. Plain pricing. Cancel anytime.

No tiers within tiers. No "Hamilton strategy retainer." Just a real website and steady social.

★ WHAT HAMILTON OWNERS SAY

Real words from real Hamilton shops.

Locke St has six cafés in two blocks. My website was a Squarespace template from 2020 that never got finished. Wingman rebuilt it in two weeks and now my Google profile actually gets weekly posts. Saturday morning traffic noticeably up — most of it people who said they found me online.

Owner — Independent Café
Locke St, Hamilton

I run a mechanic shop in the east end. Local agency quoted me $1,800/mo just for social. Wingman is $149. Three months in my Google listing is on the first page for 'mechanic Hamilton Mountain' and I haven't had to think about Facebook once.

Owner — Auto Repair Shop

★ "DOES THIS APPLY TO MY HAMILTON BUSINESS?"

Built for Hamilton owner-operators — solo shops to small teams.

🏪

"I'm a one-person operation. Is this overkill?"

The opposite. Hamilton is competitive enough that solo operators need to look polished or they get steamrolled. A real website plus active social makes a one-person shop look 10× more legit. $149/mo costs less than one slow weekday.

📍

"My neighbourhood is its own micro-market. Do you get that?"

Yes. Locke St isn't Westdale isn't Stoney Creek isn't East End. Different vibes, different customer expectations, different price points. On the kickoff call we tune your messaging to match your specific area — not generic "Hamilton."

"I barely have time to sleep. How much time does this take me?"

About 10 minutes a week. Mostly just sending us photos when you can. We write the captions, schedule posts, handle Facebook, Instagram, and Google. If you're spending more than 30 minutes a month on us, we're doing it wrong.

💰

"I don't want to lock into another monthly bill."

Month-to-month. Cancel whenever. No setup fees, no contracts. And if you take card payments — most Hamilton businesses do — check the Zero Cost Plan. You might qualify to get this entire service free.

🤷

"I tried a Hamilton agency before. They ghosted me by month three."

Heard this one a lot. Bigger agencies churn fast. The account manager who pitched you isn't the one doing your work two months in. With us, it's the same two Canadians from kickoff to month 36. No layers, no juniors, no handoffs.

★ HAMILTON FAQ

The stuff Hamilton owners actually ask on the first call.

Yes. We work with Hamilton small businesses across every area — Westdale, Hess Village, Locke St, James St North, Stoney Creek, and the rest. Everything's done remotely so we can serve every corner of the city without geography being a barrier.
Yes. Wingman Agency Inc. is an Ontario-incorporated company. Our copywriters and designers are Canadian. We're not an offshore shop with a Canadian-sounding name. Done by Canadians, for Canadians is the whole point.
We work with businesses across Canada, and Hamilton is one of our markets — restaurants on Locke St, contractors in Stoney Creek, salons on James North, dentists in Dundas. We get the competition and the kind of polish Hamilton customers expect.
1–2 weeks from kickoff. We need a few things on day one (services, hours, photos, brand colours, links to existing review profiles), then we take it from there.
Hamilton local search is competitive. Our approach is consistent posting to your Google Business Profile (we handle that automatically as part of social), a properly structured website, and the right neighbourhood-level keywords. Most Hamilton clients notice ranking lift within 60–90 days. We don't make page-1 guarantees because nobody honest does.
No. Everything's done over Zoom and email. Kickoff call is 30 minutes, photo and content sharing is by phone/email. That's how we keep prices low — no commute time, no office overhead.
Restaurants, contractors, auto shops, salons, clinics, professional services — anything that fits an owner-operator small business. We're not built for enterprise. If you've got 1–10 employees and you're tired of agency pricing, you're our people.
Hamilton businesses process a LOT of card payments

You might qualify to get all of this free.

If you accept card payments — and almost every Hamilton business does — you might qualify for our Zero Cost Plan. Switch your card processing to our Canadian sister company Dough Payments (rates guaranteed lower than what you pay now), and we build your website AND run your social media for $0/mo.

Two line items improved in one move. Smart money move.
