Loubane is a web agency in Montreal offering website design, e-commerce, SEO, local SEO, digital marketing, maintenance and multilingual websites to businesses across Montreal, Quebec and the rest of Canada. Our office is at 3333 Cavendish Blvd in Montreal, and we work with clients by phone, by WhatsApp, by email and by video call, in English or French.
Where your business is located shapes what your website needs: the language your customers search in, how competitive your local market is, and how far your customers are willing to travel. Below is how we approach each region we serve.
Montreal: borough by borough
Montreal is a bilingual market where neighbourhoods have very different customer bases. A café on the Plateau and a law firm downtown do not compete for the same searches. We plan websites and local SEO around the specific areas where your customers live and work.
Côte-des-Neiges and Notre-Dame-de-Grâce
This is close to our office on Cavendish Boulevard. The area is home to universities, hospitals and a very diverse, multilingual population. Clinics, pharmacies, tutors, restaurants and service businesses here often benefit from content in English and French, and sometimes in Spanish or Arabic as well.
Downtown (Ville-Marie)
Downtown concentrates offices, professional firms, hotels, retail and tourism. Competition for searches is intense, and many visitors are from out of town or international. Sites here need to be fast, professional and clear about location, with strong service pages for searches like “accountant downtown Montreal”.
Plateau-Mont-Royal, Mile End and Rosemont
These neighbourhoods are known for independent shops, cafés, restaurants, studios and creative businesses. French is predominant in many parts of these areas. Strong visuals, mobile-friendly menus and booking, and an up-to-date Google Business Profile tend to matter most.
Saint-Laurent and the West Island
Saint-Laurent has a large industrial and business sector alongside residential areas, while the West Island has many English-speaking households. B2B companies, distributors and family services in these areas often need detailed bilingual service pages and quote request forms.
East End, Verdun, Sud-Ouest and beyond
From Verdun and Saint-Henri to Hochelaga, Anjou and Rivière-des-Prairies, we work with local merchants and service providers who mainly serve customers within a few kilometres. Neighbourhood-specific content and accurate map listings help them get found by nearby searchers.
Laval
Laval is Quebec’s third-largest city and a major shopping and residential area just north of Montreal. Many Laval businesses serve customers from both Laval and the north end of Montreal, so websites should make the service area clear without creating thin, near-identical location pages. Laval also has large French-speaking and multicultural communities, which makes bilingual and sometimes multilingual content worthwhile for clinics, contractors and retailers. We work with Laval clients by phone, WhatsApp, email and video call.
Longueuil and the South Shore
The South Shore, including Longueuil, Brossard, Saint-Lambert, Boucherville and surrounding towns, combines dense residential areas with growing commercial zones. Many residents commute or shop on the island, so South Shore businesses often compete with Montreal businesses in search results. A strong Google Business Profile, reviews strategy and pages that clearly name the communities served help local customers choose a nearby option. Brossard in particular has a diverse population, and some businesses there benefit from content beyond English and French.
North Shore (Rive-Nord)
The North Shore, including Terrebonne, Repentigny, Blainville, Boisbriand, Mirabel and Saint-Jérôme, is largely French-speaking and has many family-owned businesses, contractors and suppliers. For many of these companies, a French-first website with an English version is the right balance. Because customers often drive between towns, websites should present a clear service radius and make calling or requesting a quote easy on mobile.
Quebec City
Quebec City is the provincial capital and a predominantly French-speaking market, with a strong tourism sector and many government-related and professional services. For local customers, natural Quebec French content is essential. Tourism businesses such as hotels, restaurants and tour operators often also need English and sometimes Spanish versions for visitors. We work with Quebec City clients remotely through video calls, shared documents and regular check-ins.
Gatineau and the Outaouais
Gatineau sits across the river from Ottawa, which creates a cross-border market unlike anywhere else in Quebec. Customers may live in Ontario and shop in Quebec, or the reverse, and many people work in both languages. Businesses here often need fully bilingual sites and must think about how they appear in searches from both sides of the river. Since Quebec and Ontario apply different sales tax systems, e-commerce sites may also need tax settings that handle both QST and HST, which we configure on WooCommerce and Shopify stores.
Sherbrooke and the Eastern Townships
Sherbrooke is a university city and the main centre of the Eastern Townships, which also has historic English-speaking communities and a strong tourism economy. Local service businesses, agritourism, inns and outdoor activity providers benefit from bilingual content and seasonal pages that match how people search for trips throughout the year.
Trois-Rivières and the Mauricie
Located midway between Montreal and Quebec City, Trois-Rivières is a mostly French-speaking regional centre with manufacturing, retail, health services and a growing number of small businesses going online. French-first websites with solid local SEO are usually the priority, with English added when a business serves tourists or customers outside Quebec.
The rest of Quebec
We also work with businesses in Saguenay, Drummondville, Saint-Hyacinthe, Granby, Rimouski, Lanaudière, the Laurentians and other regions. In smaller markets, the right website and Google Business Profile can make a big difference, because there is often less competition. Remote collaboration works well: we gather your content and goals by video call and email, share previews of your site, and train you to manage it after launch.
Wherever you are in Quebec, keep in mind that the Charter of the French language applies to the commercial websites of businesses operating in the province. Our article on Quebec French language rules for business websites gives an overview, and our bilingual website service is built with this in mind.
Businesses across Canada
We also serve businesses outside Quebec, from Ontario and the Atlantic provinces to Western Canada. Many of our services do not depend on location at all: building a WordPress site, launching a Shopify store, improving SEO or managing Google Ads can be done entirely remotely.
- Remote collaboration: video calls, shared documents and staging previews so you can review work at every step
- Bilingual reach: companies outside Quebec that want to sell to French-speaking Quebec customers can rely on our French expertise
- Canadian e-commerce setup: GST, QST and HST configuration and Canadian shipping on e-commerce stores
- Time zone: we work Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern time
How we work with clients in every region
- Discovery call by phone, WhatsApp or video to understand your business and market.
- Proposal outlining the scope and the services that fit your goals.
- Build and review with previews you can check from anywhere.
- Launch and support, including training and ongoing website maintenance if you want it.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be in Montreal to work with Loubane?
No. We work with clients across Quebec and Canada. Most projects run smoothly through video calls, phone, WhatsApp and email.
Can you meet in person?
Most projects run smoothly by phone, WhatsApp, email and video call. If you are in or near Montreal and would prefer to meet, contact us during business hours and we will find the best option together.
Should I create a page for every city I serve?
Only if each page offers genuinely useful, unique information for that area. Copying the same text with a different city name rarely helps and can hurt. We help you plan location content that adds real value.
Do you work in French and English?
Yes. We work in both, and also in Spanish and Arabic.
