Coverage: Ontario. Contact: call or text (604) 632-4959, or email Ali@Sedighi.ca. There are no forms: call, text or email only. ## Key pages - [Home](https://ontario.team/): Ontario.Team gives established Ontario businesses the growth roles they can't justify hiring yet (strategy, search, ads, website and follow-up), run on a weekly rhythm and led by Ali Sedighi, MBA. - [Services](https://ontario.team/services/): Start with the job that's costing you the most enquiries today. Most Ontario clients begin with an audit or two or three active roles, then add coverage once the scorecard shows where the next gain is. - [Areas](https://ontario.team/areas/): We work with businesses anywhere in Ontario. The province behaves like several markets at once, so the growth plan for a Brampton contractor, an Ottawa clinic and a Kitchener manufacturer starts from different places. - [About](https://ontario.team/about/): Ontario.Team is a growth consulting brand in the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group of companies, headquartered in Vancouver, BC. Ali Sedighi, MBA, leads every engagement personally; production work is organised by role and reported weekly. - [Results](https://ontario.team/results/): Our published results come from our HVAC work, because that's where the method was built and measured. Below are four of them, what each one shows about running a growth team, and which lessons carry over to other Ontario businesses. - [Pricing](https://ontario.team/pricing/): Consulting runs from $175 an hour, projects from $3,500 and monthly team retainers from $2,500, in Canadian dollars before tax. The number of active roles is the biggest driver of where you land. - [FAQ](https://ontario.team/faq/): These are the questions owners actually ask on a first call: what it costs, whether there's a contract, who does the work, who owns the accounts, how long results take and what happens if a previous agency let them down. - [Contact](https://ontario.team/contact/): Call or text (604) 632-4959, or email Ali@Sedighi.ca. Hours are Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific (noon until 9 p.m. on an Ontario clock), and we usually reply within one business day. ## Services - [Website and conversion](https://ontario.team/services/conversion-and-website/): Before you buy more traffic, make the traffic you already have convert. We find the pages where visitors leave without calling, texting or emailing, fix them in order of value, and measure the change. - [Search and ads](https://ontario.team/services/demand-engine/): This is the recurring demand work an outsourced growth team does every week: keep your Google presence accurate, build pages for the Ontario towns you serve, run paid search tightly, and publish content that answers what buyers actually ask. - [Embedded team](https://ontario.team/services/embedded-growth-team/): For a monthly retainer, Ontario.Team covers the growth roles your business needs, led by Ali Sedighi, with a Monday plan, midweek shipping and a Friday scorecard you can read in five minutes. - [Growth audit](https://ontario.team/services/growth-audit/): The growth audit is a fixed-scope project: we measure where your enquiries come from, check who owns your accounts, find the leaks, and hand you a 90-day plan you can run with us, with someone else or in-house. - [Lead follow-up](https://ontario.team/services/lead-follow-up/): Many businesses lose more work after the enquiry arrives than before it. This role maps what happens to every call, text and email, sets response targets, builds simple follow-up rules, and keeps consent records in line with Canada's anti-spam law. ## Coverage - [Halton](https://ontario.team/areas/halton-region/): Oakville and Burlington are mostly detached-home cities with strong main streets and steady growth around GO stations. Buyers here research carefully, so a Halton growth plan leans on proof, clear process and patient follow-up. - [Ottawa](https://ontario.team/areas/ottawa/): Ottawa is really several markets inside one city boundary: a dense core, large suburbs such as Kanata, Barrhaven and Orléans, and wide rural wards. A growth plan here needs careful area targeting and, often, a bilingual approach. - [Peel Region](https://ontario.team/areas/peel-region/): Mississauga and Brampton sit side by side but sell differently. Mississauga mixes corporate centres, waterfront villages and high-rise growth; Brampton is mostly detached and semi-detached homes with a large multilingual population and busy logistics corridors. - [Toronto](https://ontario.team/areas/toronto/): Toronto rewards businesses that pick a few neighbourhoods and win them properly. Because clicks are costly and buyers compare quickly, a Toronto growth team usually spends more effort on conversion and follow-up than a team elsewhere in Ontario. - [Waterloo and Guelph](https://ontario.team/areas/waterloo-region-guelph/): Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph are separate cities that many buyers treat as one area. The mix of technology, manufacturing, universities and rental housing makes this a strong market for B2B plans and for services aimed at landlords and young households. - [York Region](https://ontario.team/areas/york-region/): York Region's three largest cities are suburban in housing but dense in business parks, with fast-growing centres like the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and Markham Centre. Growth plans here usually pair strong local search with careful B2B and multicultural targeting. ## Guides and articles - [Guides](https://ontario.team/guides/): Three long-form guides that teach the mechanics of a growth team, whether you hire us, another firm or your own staff: the cost decision, a safe onboarding, and the weekly scorecard that keeps the work honest. - [In-house vs outsourced](https://ontario.team/guides/in-house-vs-outsourced-growth-team/): Comparing a salary with a retainer understates what a hire really costs and ignores how many roles one person can cover. This guide gives you a worksheet for the full annual cost, a way to count roles, and the signals that say it's time to build in-house. - [Onboarding guide](https://ontario.team/guides/onboarding-an-outsourced-team/): A good first month leaves you owning every account, with tracking that works, a baseline you trust and a written plan. This guide walks through it week by week, with checklists you can use with any agency. - [Scorecard guide](https://ontario.team/guides/weekly-growth-scorecard/): A growth team is only as good as its weekly scorecard. This guide gives you a one-page layout with seven numbers, explains where each comes from, shows how to run a 20-minute check-in around it, and lists the traps that make scorecards lie. ## Optional - [Full text](https://ontario.team/llms-full.txt) - [Parent company](https://sedighi.ca)
