Ontario.Contact was set up for one reason: so that the owner of an Ontario trades business can reach a senior marketing strategist directly, by phone, text or email, and get a straight answer. There is no sales team in between, no scripted discovery call and no handover to someone junior after the contract is signed.
Who we are
Ontario.Contact is a marketing and business consulting service for trades and home-service businesses in Ontario. It is a Canadian business, part of the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group of companies, and it is run from the group's headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The group has two halves. Sedighi.ca is the company through which Ali consults on growth, marketing and technology; Trades.Agency, HVAC.Agency, HVAC.Digital, BusinessConsulting.ca and Conv.ca are among its brands. SAZ.ca, short for Strategy & Acceleration Zone, is the Canadian firm Ali founded for strategy, AI and revenue acceleration work, and he runs it as Founder & Managing Partner.
Our plans and prices are the ones published by Trades.Agency, and they are listed on our pricing page.
Ali Sedighi, MBA
Ali Sedighi leads Ontario.Contact. He holds an MBA in Technology Management and has worked in digital marketing for 17+ years, since 2007, when he founded ONE.ir, a full-service digital marketing agency.
Later ventures include Conv.ca, his conversion-rate optimisation agency, and MyAutomation.ca, alongside his role at SAZ.ca. He has worked with clients in Canada, the USA and Dubai, and he has built 150+ live HVAC websites, including CombiBoiler.ca, GasBoilers.ca and HeatLand. He lives and works in Vancouver.
That HVAC background is why our case studies are HVAC results. We describe them that way, and the results page explains what they show for other trades.
What we are not
We are not a contractor. We don't install, repair, inspect or service anything, and nobody from Ontario.Contact will ever turn up at a customer's home with tools. We will never compete with a client for a job.
We are also not a regulator, a lawyer or an accountant. When a question is really about licensing, safety rules or contracts, we point you to the right body, such as the TSSA or the ESA, and we don't give compliance advice.
How we work
Five habits shape every engagement, and you can hold us to all of them.
- You reach a senior person. The strategist who answers your first call is the one who plans your work.
- Everything is in your name. Your domain, website, Google Business Profile, ad accounts and analytics belong to your business, from day one.
- Numbers before tactics. We start with what a booked job is worth to you, and judge every channel by cost per booked job.
- Month-to-month. Plans have no long-term contract, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.
- Plain reporting. Monthly reports lead with calls, texts, booked jobs and cost per job, and say clearly what didn't work.
Why a contact-first brand
Most trades owners we speak with have had the same experience: a slick website, a request for their details, then a week of calls from different salespeople before anyone looks at their business. We think that wastes an owner's time, and it hides the person who would actually do the work.
So Ontario.Contact is built the other way round. The phone number, the text line and the email address are the whole front door. You can use the contact page to see what to put in a first message, or read the FAQ for the questions owners ask most. If you would rather just talk, call, text or email. A senior strategist will reply, usually within one business day.
Who we suit
We are most useful to owner-run Ontario trades businesses that already have a reputation worth showing: steady referrals, crews they trust, and an owner who wants to grow without losing control of the business. Size matters less than attitude. A three-truck company in Sudbury and a forty-person firm in Vaughan can both be a good fit.
We are a weaker fit for businesses that want a guess at the cost of marketing without sharing any numbers, or that need more work than they could possibly staff. We will tell you either way, often in the first conversation, which is what the free consultation is for.
Frequently asked questions
Who will I actually talk to?
A senior strategist, not a call centre or a junior account rep. Ontario.Contact is led by Ali Sedighi, MBA, and the person you reach is the one who would plan your marketing.
Where are you based?
We are a Canadian company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, and we work with clients across Ontario. You can meet us by video call or in person. Phone, text and email work too.
How are you connected to Trades.Agency?
Both belong to the Sedighi.ca group. Trades.Agency is the group's agency brand for trades businesses, and our plans and prices are the ones it publishes.
Do you take every client who calls?
No. We take on clients when we believe the plan will pay for itself. If your numbers or timing don't support that, we will tell you and suggest what to do instead.
