Blink Digital Consulting Executive Interview
Jacobus Fourie
Owner
Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the company?
Blink Digital Consulting was founded in Calgary with the express goal of facilitating marketing solutions to entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses. Our slogan is, “Go Beyond your Dreams”. We don't want to simply offer a service or solution, we want to be part of our clients' growth journey, and that is why we see ourselves as marketing consultants, striving to foster strong and lasting relationships with our clients.
Mention the objectives or the parameters critical in determining the SEO Strategy for a client.
Optimization is the very first step, and we audit the client’s website, optimize the website and the SEO strategy in terms of keywords within the website. We also use software that allows us to track our clients’ ranking, analytics, traffic, competitors, and backlink monitoring. This allows us to optimize effectively in an ongoing manner. We align all of this with an effective marketing strategy consisting of SEM, backlinks, articles, and organic marketing.
How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?
We provide marketing packages that are:
- Tailored for startups and small businesses
- We include ad spend (we pay this) starting from $100.00 per month in all our affordably priced packages, and this is increased up to $300.00 on our larger marketing packages.
- We offer Paid and Organic Marketing as a strategy in everything we do.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?
- Clinics
- Bookkeeping/Accounting
- Celebrity
- Artist
- Trades
- Pharmaceutical

What do you find to be some of the most key factors for running a successful SEO agency?
Setup, optimization, management, and analytical reporting.
Most important: Results!
Most important: Results!
What are the key factors that you consider before deciding the cost of a project?
Website, SEO, and Social Media Audit will determine if there are additional services required that fall outside of our standard SEO pricing. An example is if we need to do additional work on the client’s website or social media.
What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients?
We have carefully crafted marketing packages that essentially dictate this structure.
If, however, the client’s needs do not match any of our existing packages, we offer a stand-alone pricing structure that enables the client to put together a plan they feel comfortable with. We send all our prospects a marketing proposal that outlines what we do and a brief description of each of the services we offer. This is followed by the marketing packages, and last but not least, the stand-alone price list.

Blink (Jacob) definitely, did wonders for my business. He worked within my budget and was able to provide many extras for me, with all my social media platforms. His communication was excellent and he always treated me with respect. From day one Jacob, was 100% invested into showing the internet what my company was. He put us on the map. If you're stuck finding the right company to provide you something great, or you just require another voice to provide you some direction of wisdom. Jacob is the one.
