We do one thing, and we do it really well.
Ascentus is a Calgary-based Meta ads agency helping home service and local service businesses across Canada generate leads and grow.
One focus: helping local service businesses grow with Facebook and Instagram ads.
We handle the creative, targeting, and testing. You focus on serving the customers who come through your door.
How we operate.
Local service focus
We only work with local service businesses. That focus means we know what works in your market before we even launch.
Partner, not vendor
Month-to-month, no lock-in contracts. We stick around because the results keep coming, not because you're trapped.
Relentless testing
We test creatives, audiences, and budgets constantly — then double down on what actually books jobs.
Radical transparency
You see every dollar in and every lead out. No black-box reporting, no vanity metrics.
Built by founders who get results.

One mission.
We're Alex and Mark — two students at the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary. We've been entrepreneurs our entire lives, chasing ideas, building things, and learning the hard way what actually works.
For the last three years we've lived and breathed marketing — running Meta ads, testing creatives, and dialing in campaigns until the leads flow. What started as a side thing turned into a full-blown obsession with helping local businesses grow.
Today we work with businesses across Canada — and right here in Calgary — helping them scale and bring in more monthly revenue every single month. We're not a big faceless agency. We're two guys who care about your numbers as much as you do, and we treat every client like a partner.
