Use Extreme Caution
As someone who has owned and operated multiple businesses in Ottawa, I’ve worked with several SEO companies over the years. My experience with Soap Media was by far the worst. I strongly urge anyone considering this company to do thorough research before signing on. I fell for Jesse's sales pitch with fell incdrebibally short after signing on.
They hold significant control over your digital presence—control that can be easily misused or mishandled. In my case, the results were disastrous, both financially and operationally. What was promised was not delivered, and the lack of transparency and accountability was deeply concerning.
I rarely leave negative reviews, but in this case, I feel a responsibility to warn other business owners. Proceed with caution.
After reviewing our records, we could not find any recent engagement under your name. The only Sam Burland in our database appears to be associated with a project nearly a decade ago.
If this review is indeed referencing work from that time, we’re disappointed to hear that your concerns were not brought to our attention then—especially given how much we’ve evolved as an agency since. Over the past 10 years, our team, processes, and client relationships have grown considerably, with a strong emphasis on transparency, measurable performance, and long-term success.
That said, we are always open to dialogue. If this feedback is based on a more recent experience under a different name or company, please reach out directly to jesse@soapmedia.ca so we can better understand the situation and, if appropriate, take steps to make things right.
We appreciate your time and the opportunity to clarify.

Great experience working with SOAP media for the last 6 months. They’ve helped my business with our SEO, facebook and google ads. Could not recommend them more!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Daniel! It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you and watching The Wash Doctor grow. We’ve had a lot of fun along the way, and we’re excited to keep pushing for even bigger results together!
Mike Wiens2025.01.30
The SEO performance was poor at our Great Canadian Oil Change shop. Using their various techniques, SOAP improved our organic search results dramatically. I recommend Jesse, Keith and the SOAP team anytime.
Thank you for the amazing review Mike! We have enjoyed working with you a ton and are happy to have hit our SEO targets together. We hope to be managing some of your other Great Canadian Oil Change locations in the near future! 2025 looks pretty bright!

I just wanted to take the time to thank Jesse, Kerem and the rest of the team at SOAP Media for the last 6 months of booming business.
From start to finish their client experience was well tailored and seamless. Communication was always open and consistent and very friendly. On top of being great people to work with, they are undoubtedly experts in their field.
They optimized everything in a fraction of time it would’ve taken me to just research how do it poorly. All implementations moving forward were quick and effective and full service from website changes to keyword management for both PPC and SEO.
When it comes to SEO especially as a small business it’s daunting mainly because it’s never cheap but you also don’t get immediate results, that’s just the nature of it. From the start of SEO implementations they were able to display and show the significant progress we were making the whole way which took all the ambiguity and anxiety out of it.
Overall these guys are a great choice for full house marketing services and we highly recommend and we will be using there services moving forward.
P.S I own a small painting company and we have almost tripled revenue since signing on with SOAP. Aiming to hit 7figs next year with the help of this team.
Also, I graduated with a major in marketing so I understand everything they’re doing with great detail but managing this facet of my business with the rest isn’t optimal for tripling revenue.
Thanks again SOAP
We're thrilled to be part of your business's growth journey. Hearing that "business is booming" is music to our ears! It means a lot that you appreciate our commitment to clear communication and expertise—let’s just say we’ve put in our 10,000 hours, haha.
It’s exciting to see your revenue triple in such a short time working together. Here's to more successes ahead!

Absolutely endorse this team. Great communication, great response time, great results. Monthly reports on Google analytics we feel very connected to our website and it’s performance and results.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We love seeing the leads flow into your business from our teams efforts. It's important that you see the direct correlation between your marketing investment and the lead generation for your business. We are glad you feel that communication is solid. We look forward to ending 2024 off strong and growing even more in 2025 with you :)

I worked with soap media for 2 months and during that time they created a landing page and a google ad words campaign for my business. I spent thousands of dollars and did not get even a single client.
They say I did not get the clients I wanted because it takes at least three months to get referrals going but upon my questioning could provide no specific answers as to the mechanics behind how they would target the profile of the clients I needed. They make promises but, in the end, if they don't deliver, they also don't lose anything. Shahla and Keith did not seem to be invested in my success and took my concerns lightly. The landing page was a cut and paste from my website. I know another client who was a sole practitioner working with soap, initially I contacted him for a reference. Just a few days ago I found out he lost thousands of dollars over at least 8 months and still didn’t get clients so it’s not a matter of time as they say.
The owners offered around 15 percent of my money back after a series of emails back and forth, which in my opinion is not enough. Jesse's responses were generic and did not acknowledge the real mistakes that were made by staff. I appreciate that Jesse and Keith were always polite and quick to respond to me but I have sustained a loss of thousands of dollars which is hard as a sole practitioner.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review.
We are really sorry you did not get the results you were looking for in the 47 days of working together. As a boutique family owned and operated agency we value the risks entrepreneurs take growing their small and medium sized businesses. I am really sorry that you felt our responses were generic as we do care about the success of all of our clientele. I (Jesse) made sure I was a part of internal conversations with your dedicated account manager and our PPC Manager to ensure the second month optimizations would be as effective as possible.
Our team designed and developed a dedicated landing page and we configured all of the tracking and integrations, and created the initial launch strategy and media buying guide within the first couple of weeks. Ads ran for 30 days and generated 16 leads. We determined together that some were spam and others were not your ideal client. We had planned to optimize the ad account to further refine your campaigns to your specific ideal client and wanted to review the sales process for leads as well. I’m sorry you felt that our recommendations for the second month of running ads was not sufficient. We respect your decision to leave us and we would have loved the opportunity to grow together.
Landon Teranski2024.07.31
Collaborating with Jesse and the Soap Media team was a seamless and hassle-free experience. From the very beginning, their excellent communication and meticulous attention to customer needs stood out. The range of services they provide is extremely valuable for both startups and established businesses like ours. While our engagement with Soap Media was brief and we didn’t achieve the desired results we we're expecting, it’s important to note that every business and situation is unique. I highly recommend reaching out to Soap Media to see how they can help your business.
Likewise Landon! We love working with you and feel we have layed a strong foundation together. We look forward to phase 2 in the near future! :) Thank you for the kind words, it's greatly appreciated.
Meghan van der Heyden2024.06.21
Our organization needed to optimize its Google Analytics, SEO, PPC (Google Adwords), and revamp our website. Since day 1, we've been in great hands with the SOAP team: Jesse, Kerem, Abe, Jeff, and Chris. Huge shoutout to Saba for her help in developing our website too!
The overall experience has been great: the communication and guidance throughout the process have been fantastic.
We have taken off exponentially since partnering with SOAP and we look forward to our continued collaboration!
Thank you Meghan, we are so happy to be a part of the growth of Reliable Home Environment. We appreciate your kind words and the shoutouts to various team members. 😁
We can't wait for even further growth with the new website!
Mychael Mondala2024.06.06
Been working with Jesse and Keith for a few months and am having a great experience! Super happy with the results each month and look forward to working with them in the future! Would highly recommend!!
It has been a great experience working with you as well Mychael! We love seeing Gamers Getaway grow so much in the GTA from our paid advertising efforts. We are confident that the coming years will only get better and better! It's time to start working on more video game trailers to keep up with the demand. 😁
Faisal Al-Ramadhan2024.05.26
I hired Soap Media after seeing their glowing 5-star Google reviews, hoping they could boost my online sales. However, after five months of their service, I am extremely disappointed. Despite the high expectations set at the beginning, they generated no sales for my business. While their services might work for others, they did not work for my company. I spent a significant amount of money based on their promises, only to find that they lacked sufficient experience in online retail marketing.
Additionally, their posts often looked unprofessional, as if they didn't proofread them. It was obvious they relied heavily on ChatGPT, resulting in many errors. This lack of attention to detail was frustrating and did not reflect well on my brand.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review and provide your feedback Faisal.
We are sorry that you had a less-than-ideal experience in the three months we worked together. Although we started to see some traction, we understand it was not the results either party anticipated.
As a family-owned agency that takes great pride in what we do, we take your review very seriously. We see it as an opportunity to find holes in our processes and work to improve and grow.
I (Jesse) have reviewed everything from start to finish to find areas we could have improved upon. From what I see, the funnel traction did take longer than expected to pick up. In talking with the team, I can see that they were working very hard, and I know they were invested in the success of your business. The team had made significant pivots to the funnel and had just developed a new landing page and ad creatives, and I can see that sales started to occur in April from our ads.
Regarding paid advertising, our team generated the ad copy & leveraged the AI built directly into the paid advertising platforms for solid recommendations.
Thank you once again, Faisal. The whole team here at SOAP Media wishes you continued success in your business. You are evidently very talented at crafting your products, and we are confident that we will be seeing Imperial Ancient around more often. Please feel free to reach out if you wish to discuss further and we would be more than happy to chat. 😊
Nathan Smith2024.04.24
Sunset Docks Muskoka hired Soap Media not really believing in SCO, and not sure about how effective google and Facebook ads would be. Soap Media blew us away as a one stop shop for everything. From tuning up our website, getting us ranked higher for all our key products, creating ads that are professional, and most of all generating qualified leads for a reasonable investment. Lastly we appreciate the speed of communication from each team on our file. Thanks again.
Thank you Nate! You guys have been a blast to work with and we love seeing your business grow. The lead generation is flowing like the Muskoka river itself!
We are happy to be a part of the journey with you and we look forward to many more years of growth ahead!
