Hernan Cespedes founded Amauta Marketing in Montréal in 2005 and still runs it as president and marketing strategist, giving the agency two decades of continuous operation serving small and medium-sized businesses in Montréal and Laval. Services are delivered in French, English, and Spanish, matching the multilingual client base the agency works with in the region.
The service list runs from référencement web (SEO) and Google Ads management to paid campaigns on Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Amauta also builds turnkey websites for SMEs and manages ongoing social media accounts, so the advertising work sits alongside the site and content it runs against. The agency holds Google Certified Partner status, which covers how its SEM and Google Ads accounts are set up and managed.
Amauta frames this mix of SEO, SEM, and social advertising as a direct response to the marketing frustrations SMEs run into when different pieces are handled by different vendors. The agency has been recognized in web marketing rankings tied to website design, pay-per-click, and SEO in Canada, and was named among the top three advertising agencies in Laval, along with a TechBehemoths 2025 award. Two decades in, the pitch remains the same: search visibility, paid media, and website delivery handled from a single shop rather than split across specialists.
