Why timing matters

Be visible before the rush, not after

Counseling is between peaks right now. The next strong window opens in September, so now is the time to get the campaign built and learning.

Best months to advertise: January, February, March, September, October, November. Demand starts building in April, August, December.

Search vs. buying: For counseling, people search and buy around the same time, near February. Start a few weeks early so you are already the familiar name when they look.

We launch your campaign on a calendar that already works, so your budget lands when counseling buyers across Canada are actually searching.
