Looking for lead generation in Markham? Better Businesses is a Canadian agency helping Markham companies grow through lead generation that is measured on results, not activity. Markham is home to more than 1,500 technology and life-science companies, and its technology and life sciences businesses compete in one of Ontario's most active markets. We help you win that competition.

Buyers in Markham search, compare and decide fast. Our campaigns place your offer in front of Markham residents and businesses at the moment of intent, then route every call and form to your team within seconds.

Because ad costs in Markham vary widely between technology and life sciences, we build separate campaigns per service line and geography, so budget flows to the Markham neighbourhoods and offers that produce the cheapest qualified leads.

We geo-target Unionville, Markham Village, Cornell and Milliken and the wider Ontario market with tailored messaging, landing pages and offers, and exclude wasted clicks from outside your service area.

What is lead generation?

Lead generation is the process of attracting potential customers and converting their interest into contact information or a sales conversation. For most Canadian businesses this means paid advertising, search visibility and landing pages that turn visitors into enquiries, followed by fast, tracked follow-up.

Source: Statistics Canada, 2021 Census of Population (City of Markham (census subdivision)). Census Profile

Markham counted 338,503 residents in the 2021 Census, up 2.9 percent from 328,966 in 2016, living in 110,867 occupied private dwellings on 210.93 square kilometres. Growth is slow, so a local business competes mainly for existing households rather than newcomers.

Those households are affluent and mature, with a median age of 42.4 and a median household income of $104,000 in 2020. Markham's economy is anchored by corporate head offices and technology firms, which means both consumer and business customers expect a polished, professional presence and are willing to pay for quality once they trust a provider.

Since Markham grew only 2.9 percent between 2016 and 2021, lead generation should prioritize referrals, repeat business and displacement of incumbent providers over campaigns aimed at new arrivals.
