About Monarx Media
What does Monarx Media do?
Monarx Media is an award-winning traffic and conversion agency in Calgary, Alberta. We drive traffic to businesses through paid ads, SEO, AI search optimization and social media, then convert that traffic into clients with the strategy we build into websites, sales funnels, copywriting and marketing automation.
What is a traffic and conversion agency?
A traffic and conversion agency focuses on two things: bringing qualified visitors to a business (traffic) and turning those visitors into leads and paying clients (conversion). Every ad, search ranking and social post is connected to a website and funnel built to convert, so marketing spend turns into revenue.
Where is Monarx Media located?
Monarx Media is based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and works with businesses across Canada and the United States, mostly over Zoom.
Who founded Monarx Media?
Monarx Media was founded by Christine Johanson, Founder & CEO, a mechanical engineer turned digital marketer. Today the agency is run by a team of growth strategists, SEO and AI search specialists, copywriters, designers and automation experts.
What industries do you work with?
We work with psychology and therapy practices, healthcare and wellness clinics, coaches and course creators, e-commerce and beauty brands, B2B and fintech companies, non-profits, engineering firms and post-secondary institutions.
Can you work with our existing marketing team?
Yes. We can support and direct an existing team, or handle everything from start to finish.
How do we get started?
Book a free marketing audit. We’ll review your business’s current traffic and conversion, discuss your goals, and recommend next steps.
Fractional Marketing Team
What is a fractional marketing team?
A fractional marketing team is an outsourced marketing department. Instead of hiring several specialists, your business works with one coordinated team that handles strategy, traffic, conversion, creative and automation on an ongoing basis.
How is this different from hiring a fractional CMO?
A fractional CMO typically provides strategy and direction. A fractional marketing team provides that strategy plus the specialists who execute it, so plans turn into campaigns, websites and results.
How much does a fractional marketing team cost?
It depends on scope: which channels your business needs and how much support is involved. We recommend a plan after a free marketing audit.
Can you work with our existing marketing team?
Yes. We can lead and support your existing team, or handle everything from start to finish.
Website Design & Development
Do you write the website copy too?
Yes. Copywriting is one of our core services. We write every page in your brand voice, with a clear call to action on each one.
Will my new website be optimized for SEO and AI search?
Yes. We structure each page with clear headings, service-specific pages, FAQs and schema markup, so search engines and AI assistants like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity can understand what you do and who you serve.
Can you connect the website to our CRM and booking system?
Yes. Our automation team connects forms, calendars and email follow-up to your CRM, including GoHighLevel, so no lead slips through the cracks.
Do you offer website support after launch?
Yes. Many clients keep us on for ongoing website support, updates and campaign pages.
Sales Funnels, Webinars & Launches
What is the ClickFunnels 2 Comma Club Award?
ClickFunnels gives the 2 Comma Club Award to entrepreneurs whose funnel has generated more than $1 million. Monarx Media wrote, designed and built the funnel that earned Fixe Beauty this award in 2022.
Which funnel platforms do you work with?
We build on ClickFunnels and GoHighLevel. If you already use a platform, we can work inside it.
Can you help me launch an online course?
Yes. We handle course strategy, the sales page funnel, course design assets, email campaigns and the membership area, so you can focus on teaching.
My funnel gets traffic but few sales. Can you help?
Yes. Each step of a funnel should focus on one action. Small changes to headlines, offers and follow-up emails can raise conversion rates significantly. We start with an audit of your current funnel.
Branding & Copywriting
Can you rebrand an established organization?
Yes. We've led complete rebrands for organizations like HTAi (Health Technology Assessment International) and OsteopathyBC, covering branding, copy and website.
Will the copy sound like me?
Yes. We learn your voice before we write. Clients often tell us our sales pages, video scripts and emails sound exactly like them.
What is your copywriting approach?
People buy based on emotion, logic and urgency. We use storytelling to create connection, facts to build trust, and a clear reason to act now.
SEO & AI Search Optimization
What is AI search optimization?
AI search optimization, also called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) or Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), is the practice of making your business easy for AI assistants to find, understand and recommend. It covers tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude. It builds on good SEO, with extra focus on clear answers, structured data and consistent information about your business across the web.
What’s the difference between SEO and AI search optimization?
SEO helps you rank in a list of search results. AI search optimization helps you get named inside the answer an AI assistant gives. Both depend on a fast, well-structured website with clear, trustworthy content, so we work on them together.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes can take effect within weeks. Rankings and AI visibility usually build over several months, depending on your competition and where your website starts. We report progress monthly.
Do you offer local SEO?
Yes. For practices and local businesses, we optimize your Google Business Profile, location pages and local listings so you show up when nearby clients search.
Social Media & LinkedIn Marketing
Which platforms do you manage?
Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn are our core platforms.
Do you create the content or just post it?
We do both. We plan the strategy, write the captions, design the graphics, and schedule and publish everything.
Can social media alone grow my business?
It can. One of our coaching clients regularly runs $20K–$30K launches entirely from organic social media. It works best as part of a connected strategy with your website, email and funnels.
Marketing Automation & Sales Systems
What is GoHighLevel?
GoHighLevel is an all-in-one CRM and marketing platform. It combines websites, funnels, contacts, email and SMS, calendars, payments and social media management in one place.
Can you improve our sales process, not just the software?
Yes. Christine has done internal sales consulting for companies like Beta Machinery Analysis, where reviewing client communication opened a new upsell channel.
Will automation make our marketing feel impersonal?
Not when it's done well. Good automation sends the right message at the right time in your brand voice, which frees your team to have more personal conversations.
Corporate Training & Leadership Development
Do you design training for post-secondary institutions?
Yes. The Monarx team has developed, designed and delivered curriculum for SAIT's certificate programs, corporate training and continuing education.
Can you coach our executives for public speaking?
Yes. Christine has written speeches and coached executives, including the Dean of the Schulich School of Engineering, whose events helped the school exceed its multi-eight-figure fundraising target.
Is Christine available as a keynote speaker?
Yes. See the Keynote Speaking page for her talk on Renaissance Leadership.
