Melissa's attention to detail and creativity truly set my salon apart from the competition.

The website she designed for me is not only visually stunning but also highly functional, making it easy for my clients to book appointments and learn about our services.

Having someone you trust in your corner is invaluable, and I cannot recommend Melissa and BuzzMate Marketing highly enough.
“I had the pleasure of working with Melissa on the design and maintenance of my business website, as well as the creation of branded collateral such as handbooks, presentations, and other documentation. As a small business owner, you can't always do it all yourself. Having someone you trust in your corner is invaluable, and I cannot recommend Melissa and BuzzMate Marketing highly enough! From the outset, she took the time to understand my business, my brand, and my goals and created a strategy that was perfectly aligned with my vision. Her attention to detail, creativity, and technical expertise were all top-notch, and I was consistently impressed by her ability to deliver high-quality work on time and within budget.
What I appreciated most about working with Melissa was her collaborative approach - she was always open to feedback, suggestions, and new ideas, and worked tirelessly to ensure that I was completely satisfied with the final product. As a result of Melissa's work, my business now has a beautiful, functional, and user-friendly website, as well as a suite of professional-looking branded materials that help me stand out from the competition.
If you're looking for a talented and reliable marketing services professional who truly cares about your success, look no further than BuzzMate Marketing. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to take their business to the next level!”

Melissa at Buzzmate marketing has been the most cost-effective and responsive website support person.
“Melissa at BuzzMate Marketing has been the most cost-effective and responsive website support person the Collaborative Divorce Alberta Association (CDAA) has ever had. In addition to maintaining the website, Melissa has also been providing the CDAA with a modest social media campaign, prepares newsletters, and coordinates contact by email with the CDAA membership across Alberta. Melissa has provided the services that the CDAA needs and can afford, and been willing to work for us without a fixed-payment monthly contract. The CDAA board is very satisfied with the business relationship it has with Melissa and BuzzMate Marketing.”

With her help, I actually landed a #1 SEO ranking in Calgary for one of my main keywords something I’ve been trying (and failing) to do on my own.
Melissa is my go-to whenever my brain starts to melt over SEO and all the behind-the-scenes website tasks I just can’t wrap my head around. I actually love working on my own website design, copy, layout and I’d call myself pretty tech-proficient, but some of this SEO stuff? Absolutely not my lane. That’s when I email Melissa, and she just pops in and works her magic.
With her help, I actually landed a #1 SEO ranking in Calgary for one of my main keywords something I’ve been trying (and failing) to do on my own for over a decade, despite blogging and tweaking my site for years.
She’s an absolute gem to work with so sweet, professional, and just a genuinely good human who makes you feel great about supporting her business. If you’re even thinking about hiring her… just do it already.

It’s been such a relief to have someone who gets it and makes everything easier.
"Tyler Pollock at HDP Law recommended Melissa, and I’m so glad he did. Managing our social media and online presence was becoming one more thing on my plate, and she has taken that weight off. Melissa helped us build a consistent, professional presence across Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and our Google listing. Now we’re seeing more people find and engage with the firm online. She’s also become a great sounding board for our marketing ideas, from hiring campaigns to new lawyer announcements. It’s been such a relief to have someone who gets it and makes everything easier."

Melissa quickly understood what I needed and brought the expertise to ensure my site performs consistently and continues to grow its reach.
"Before working with BuzzMate Marketing, I struggled to find the right technical support to manage my website and keep it running smoothly, especially while I host client workshops and trainings. Melissa quickly understood what I needed and brought the expertise to ensure my site performs consistently and continues to grow its reach. With regular health checks and thoughtful SEO improvements, my website is now reliable and easy to manage, more discoverable to new visitors, and better able to engage and serve my existing clients.

I do, too!"

She saved me an incredible amount of time and energy, and the cost for her services are very reasonable.
“Working with Melissa at BuzzMate Marketing made my job as a private practice owner 100 times easier. Melissa designed a logo for me and evaluated my current website. I am a particular person and she did a great job of designing my logo. She perfectly captured my personality and the feeling I wanted to come across when potential clients looked into my business. The report provided for my website was easy to understand, thorough, offered different options, and was well-researched. She saved me an incredible amount of time and energy, and the cost for her services are very reasonable.”

Having them in my corner has made a huge difference. They keep my brand looking professional and help more deals faster.
Big thanks to Melissa and the BuzzMate Marketing team for keeping my online game looking sharp. Shoutout to Sofia Katherine for connecting us; she knows talent when she sees it. Between helping clients buy and sell and everything else that comes with the job, I just don’t have time to keep my site and listings up to date. These guys make it look easy. They keep my Sotheby’s and topcalgaryrealestateforsale.com listings fresh and put together some great social posts for my new, purchased, and sold homes. Having them in my corner has made a huge difference. They keep my brand looking professional and help move deals faster. Couldn’t recommend them more.

Melissa exceeded our expectations by managing our marketing campaigns, social media, e-newsletters, website updates and Hubspot accounts with very little guidance.
“Melissa was a tremendous asset for us at Alberta IoT Association. In a very short timeframe, we needed someone who could not only step in quickly but also fully understand and adapt to our marketing processes.

Thanks to Melissa’s efforts, our team was fully supported, and we continued operating effectively without missing a beat.”

I had a particular look and feel I wanted, she listened to what I was asking for and delivered exactly what I wanted.
“Melissa and BuzzMate Marketing were amazing to work with on my company’s new website. I had a particular look and feel I wanted, she listened to what I was asking for and delivered exactly what I wanted. In areas where I was unsure about how a section would look she provided multiple options/layouts to find something that worked for me. Would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a new website!”

The result is a more professional image, stronger visibility, nd a website that truly reflects my practice and connects with the people I want to reach.
“I was unhappy with my website and Sue with Healing Hooves recommended Melissa. Melissa created a logo and cohesive brand identity, updated my website, and performed SEO updates so that new clients can find me online. The result is a more professional image, stronger visibility, and a website that truly reflects my practice and connects with the people I want to reach. The process was simple and efficient.

The results have been fantastic: Lower costs, stronger ROI, and a professional brand presence that truly reflects who we are and the support we provide.
“At Cowie Psychological Group, we provide our clients with Support for Life’s Challenges. Coincidentally, that’s exactly what BuzzMate Marketing has done for us. I was trying to manage our Google Ads but wasn’t doing it effectively. Melissa stepped in, audited and optimized our campaigns, and immediately improved our targeting while reducing wasted spend. That first project was so successful, we hired Mel and the team to help us with more projects, including a full brand refresh, a new logo, a refined name, and website updates to match. The results have been fantastic: lower costs, stronger ROI, and a professional brand presence that truly reflects who we are and the support we provide.”
