Hey, I’m Andrew, and I want to take a minute to tell you why Windsor-Essex means so much to our team at YQG Digital Inc. and why we’re so passionate about helping local businesses thrive.
Most of our team members were born and raised in Windsor-Essex. We grew up here, had our first, second, and third jobs at local spots such as:
- 🐶 Support Staff (Doggy Daycare)
- 🌳 Lumberjack (Tree removal)
- 👨💼 Insurance Agent
- 📺 TV and Audio technician
- 📤 Mail Sorter
- 🚑 Paramedic EMS
- 👨🚒 Firefighter
Spent our weekends at the same festivals, restaurants, and events that make this area so special. The businesses that shaped our community also shaped us, and now, we want to give back by helping them succeed in an ever-evolving digital world.
Windsor Has So Much to Offer. Let’s Not Forget That.
It’s easy for some to look at Windsor and miss what makes this community truly great. Sure, you hear the occasional grumbling from younger folks (I know I am/ was one ⏳), but Windsor has more to offer than it often gets credit for.
From the vibrant food festivals and our local hockey team (Go Spits) to the incredible local shops and vendors, Windsor-Essex is bursting with opportunities for businesses to thrive. We’ve got Christmas light festivals, fairs, live music, and so much more—there’s always something to do or explore, thanks to our local businesses that keep this community alive and kicking.
We’re Not Here for “Just a Website”
At YQG Digital, our mission goes beyond creating pretty websites and checking off boxes. We don’t want to just hand over a website and call it a day. We’re here to help local businesses grow. We want to partner with businesses in Windsor-Essex, watch them thrive, and contribute to their long-term success.
Sure, we’ll create a great website (the best in Windsor-Essex 🏆)—whether it’s a custom design, a one-pager, or an e-commerce platform—but that’s just the start. The real goal is to ensure your business is found. We specialize in SEO, helping businesses get seen in search results, and we’re always expanding our offerings to include social media, paid ads (coming soon!), and general marketing advice.
Sometimes, we meet with potential clients, chat over coffee, and give them free advice if we’re not the right fit for them at the moment. It’s all about doing what’s right for Windsor businesses.
Building Windsor’s Digital Real Estate
One of our core values is building digital real estate in Windsor-Essex. Just like the city’s physical businesses and storefronts, your website and online presence form your digital storefront. If your website is the foundation, then your SEO, Google Business Profile, and social media act as the signs that help people find you. We want Windsor businesses to take control of that digital real estate and stand out.
When we work with local businesses, we’re not just setting them up for today—we’re setting them up for tomorrow and years to come. We want to see businesses grow from small, local shops to thriving powerhouses that dominate Windsor and beyond.
Why We’re Committed to Windsor-Essex
We’re a company built by Windsorites, for Windsorites. We’ve seen businesses grow, plateau, and unfortunately, some even close. The truth is, we don’t want that for any business. We want every local shop, restaurant, or service provider to be as successful as possible. We know firsthand what Windsor-Essex businesses are capable of, and we’re here to help them reach their potential.
Right now, we’re focused on making sure that the services we offer—like SEO and web design—are top-tier and accessible to local businesses. We only offer services we know will make a tangible difference. And when we’re confident we’re delivering the best to Windsor-Essex, we’ll look to expand our services even further (social media and paid advertising coming soon!).
What’s Next for YQG Digital and Windsor Businesses
We’re always thinking about what’s next for YQG Digital and how we can continue to grow alongside the businesses we work with.
Our goal is to bring even bigger and better solutions to Windsor businesses in the months and years to come. We’re committed to finding new innovative (more than just a buzz-word to us) ways to help local businesses thrive and stand out in an increasingly competitive landscape.
