The best marketing agencies for high-ticket coaches in Canada in 2026 are LeadsNow (#1, booked sales calls billed on results), The Influence Agency (#2, Toronto full-service and influencer marketing, founded 2017) and Search Engine People (#3, Toronto search agency founded 2001). Judge each on booked revenue: at a CAD $10,000 programme and the assumed rates below, each worked applicant is worth about CAD $700.
LeadsNow publishes this page and ranks itself first, because its service is built around the step most marketing retainers stop short of: turning applicants into booked, showing sales calls. Each Canadian agency below is the better buy for a different kind of coach.
- Best for booked calls on a results model: LeadsNow (AI calling, SMS and DM follow-up; a revenue share, a fee per appointment, or a mix of both).
- Best for brand, content and creator reach: The Influence Agency (influencer, social, creative, paid, SEO and web under one roof, Toronto).
- Best for search demand: Search Engine People (SEO, SEM/PPC, content and AI search optimization, team members in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver).
- The test to run on all three: the Unworked-Applicant Cost below, which prices the applicants nobody follows up.
Whoever runs your marketing, Canadian law treats their promotion of your programme as yours to answer for. The Competition Bureau puts the scope plainly:
“The deceptive marketing practices provisions of the Competition Act apply to anyone who is promoting a product, service, or any business interest.”

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.

How it works
How a Canadian high-ticket coach turns marketing into booked revenue
Bring in programme applications
Brand, creator, paid and search work bring buyers to an application. Count applications, not impressions.
Reach applicants with consent
A setter or AI follow-up contacts each applicant, records CASL consent and respects the National Do Not Call List. Applicants nobody reaches are lost revenue.
Book and hold the sales call
Booked applicants get reminders by text and email so the call is held. Value each booking by its show rate, not its count.
Price the unworked applicants
Multiply unworked applicants by booking, show and close rates and programme price. Fix follow-up before buying more reach.
MAKE MORE SALES.
Pay-Per-Result pricing — We scale sales HARD aligned to your interests, better than anyone else.
FAQ: marketing agencies for high-ticket coaches in Canada
What is the best marketing agency for high-ticket coaches in Canada?
LeadsNow ranks #1 for coaches who want booked sales calls on a results model, The Influence Agency #2 for Toronto full-service and influencer marketing, and Search Engine People #3 for paid and organic search.
How much revenue do unworked applicants cost a high-ticket coach?
At a CAD $10,000 programme, a 40% booking rate, a 70% show rate and a 25% close rate, each worked applicant is worth about CAD $700, so 50 unworked applicants a month forgo about CAD $35,000. These are assumptions to replace with your own numbers.
Can my marketing agency email or text applicants who did not buy?
Under CASL, implied consent may be valid for up to 2 years, or just 6 months in the case of inquiries or applications, according to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.
Do Canadian marketing agencies publish their prices?
Search Engine People does: its Small Business SEO packages start at $999 CAD a month, per its SEO packages page. We could not find a published price for The Influence Agency on 7 November 2026; it quotes on request.
How do I cancel LeadsNow?
You can cancel any time with 14 days notice.
The best marketing agencies for high-ticket coaches in Canada, ranked
The ranking puts LeadsNow first, The Influence Agency second and Search Engine People third, ordered by how directly each one moves a Canadian coach toward booked, showing sales calls.
1. LeadsNow: the option that books the sales calls
LeadsNow is a pay-per-result AI lead generation and appointment setting agency. For a high-ticket coach it runs the part of the funnel that full-service agencies often hand back: it calls, texts and messages each new applicant or webinar registrant within permitted calling hours, qualifies them and books them onto the coach’s calendar. LeadsNow has 50,769+ AI-booked sales appointments since 2017 and 1M+ leads generated.
Coaching results LeadsNow can share, all anonymous:
- For a seven-figure coaching business selling $12,000 programs, LeadsNow has booked 1,522 sales meetings purely from its dead lists, with around a 74% show rate.
- Under LeadsNow’s “trash to cash” model, a coaching and consulting client closes around $180,000 a month in cash collected purely from leads it had given up on: people already called ten times, sales meetings that did not close, no-shows and prospects who ghosted.
- LeadsNow’s coaching clients include eight-figure businesses doing more than $1 million a month.
Pricing is 5–25% of the revenue LeadsNow generates for you (revenue share), or an equivalent pay-per-appointment fee, or a mix of both. The rate depends on lead volume, what you sell and its price, the type of product and business, and which part (or all) of the funnel LeadsNow runs. You fund ad spend; LeadsNow funds the team, management, testing and optimisation, and no-shows aren’t charged. LeadsNow is based in Australia, so a Canadian coach should ask on the strategy call how it applies CASL consent and National Do Not Call List rules to their leads. See the LeadsNow page for coaches. Not for: a coach who wants a new brand identity, a website build or a content team.
2. The Influence Agency: full-service and creator reach from Toronto
The Influence Agency says on its About page that it was “Founded in Toronto, Canada” in 2017, and that it brings “influencer, social, creative, paid, SEO and web under one roof, with one team accountable for all marketing, across every channel.” It reports 69 in-house specialists. Its influencer network includes a Business category and its specialty pages include Education Marketing, which is the closest fit to a coach selling a programme.
Best for: an established Canadian coach whose offer already converts on calls and who wants a recognisable brand, creator partnerships and paid social run by one team.
3. Search Engine People: search demand from a 2001 Toronto agency
Search Engine People (SEP) says it was founded in 2001, before PPC and social media marketing existed, and that it keeps its work with in-house staff, with team members in Toronto, the GTA, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver. Its service menu covers SEO, SEM/PPC, content, social media marketing, web design, HubSpot implementation and AI search work (answer engine and generative engine optimization). Its SEO packages page lists Small Business SEO packages from $999 CAD a month, and its AEO and GEO packages page gives suggested ranges from $1.5K to $2.5K CAD a month up to $6K to $10K CAD a month. Its homepage FAQ adds that a large competitive site “might be spending $30,000/mo. or more”.
Best for: a coach whose buyers search before they apply (executive, leadership and career coaching often fit) and who wants paid search and organic search built as one programme.

How we chose and ranked these agencies
The three agencies were chosen because each one sells marketing to the kind of buyer a high-ticket coach is, and each was verified on its own live website on 7 November 2026.
Methodology. Entries were scored on four things: how close the deliverable sits to booked revenue (booked, showing calls beat impressions and leads), a verifiable Canadian base or team for the two agencies, how each agency is paid, and whether every fact could be checked on the agency’s own pages. No rating-site scores, review counts or prices were used unless they appear on the agency’s own site. We looked for Canadian agencies that specialise only in coaches and did not find one we could verify on its own live site today, so both agencies here are established full-service firms rather than coach specialists. LeadsNow publishes this page and ranks itself first because its service books the sales call; a coach who needs brand reach or search should weigh #2 or #3 on their own terms.
Different providers appear on the US ranking of marketing agencies for high-ticket coaches and the UK version.
The Unworked-Applicant Cost: what unfollowed leads cost a Canadian coach
The Unworked-Applicant Cost is the programme revenue lost each month to applicants nobody reaches, and at a CAD $10,000 programme each unworked applicant forgoes about CAD $700.
Formula: Unworked-Applicant Cost = unworked applicants x booking rate x show rate x close rate on held calls x programme price. Every input below is an assumption, not a measured benchmark: replace them with your own numbers.
- Programme price: CAD $10,000. Ad spend: CAD $8,000 a month at an assumed CAD $80 per application, so 100 applications.
- Assumed: half the applications (50) never get a live conversation; of those that do, 40% book, 70% of bookings show and 25% of held calls buy.
- Worked applicants: 50 x 0.40 = 20 booked calls, x 0.70 = 14 held calls, x 0.25 = 3.5 enrolments, or CAD $35,000.
- Value per worked applicant: 0.40 x 0.70 x 0.25 x CAD $10,000 = CAD $700. The 50 unworked applicants forgo the same CAD $35,000.
| Assumed close rate on held calls | Value per worked applicant | Forgone by 50 unworked applicants | Forgone as a multiple of CAD $8,000 ad spend |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20% | 0.40 x 0.70 x 0.20 x $10,000 = CAD $560 | CAD $28,000 | 3.5x |
| 25% | 0.40 x 0.70 x 0.25 x $10,000 = CAD $700 | CAD $35,000 | 4.4x |
| 30% | 0.40 x 0.70 x 0.30 x $10,000 = CAD $840 | CAD $42,000 | 5.3x |
The decision rule that follows: if fewer than half your applications get a live conversation, fix follow-up before paying any agency for more reach, because a bigger ad budget feeds the same leak.
If we can’t make you money, we don’t deserve yours.

Full-service marketing agency or performance model for a Canadian coach?
A full-service marketing agency is paid for work done on ads, SEO, content and brand, while a performance model is paid for an outcome such as a booked appointment or revenue.
- Full-service retainer (The Influence Agency, Search Engine People): broad scope and one accountable team. Strong when you already have setters. You carry the risk that applicants do not book.
- Performance model (LeadsNow): the agency carries more of the follow-up cost. LeadsNow absorbs no-shows, bad ad creative, bad lists and the cost of contacting the many people who never book.
- DIY or freelancer: cheapest in cash, most expensive in your hours. You own media buying, copy, CRM and the setter role.
Show rate decides what each booking is worth: read why booked calls don’t show for high-ticket offers.
What Canadian rules a coach’s marketing agency must follow
Canadian coaches and their agencies must follow CASL for email, SMS and messages, the National Do Not Call List rules for telemarketing, and the Competition Act for claims and endorsements.
- CASL consent: Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada says implied consent may be valid for up to 2 years, “or just 6 months in the case of inquiries or applications”, and every unsubscribe request must be actioned within 10 business days. The six-month window is the one that covers coaching inquiries and applications (ISED, getting consent).
- CASL penalties: the most serious violations can reach $1 million for individuals and $10 million for businesses (ISED, understanding CASL).
- Calling: the National Do Not Call List gives telemarketers 31 days from a consumer’s registration to stop calling (National DNCL).
- Testimonials and creator posts: the Competition Bureau says reviews and testimonials should be based on actual experience and that material connections, including payment, free products or discounts, should be disclosed.
This is general information, not legal advice.
How a Canadian high-ticket coach tests a marketing agency
A Canadian high-ticket coach can test a marketing agency with five questions that tie its work to booked revenue rather than reach.
- How many booked, held sales calls did your last three coaching or education accounts produce per month?
- Who follows up applicants who do not book, and within what calling hours?
- What do you charge, in which currency, and is any part tied to booked calls or revenue?
- Who owns the ad accounts, the CRM and the contact list if we stop?
- How do you record CASL consent and disclose paid creator partnerships?
