Mercado Monkey is a bilingual digital agency based in Torreón, Mexico that works with Vancouver businesses on E-commerce, Web development, SEO, Creative content — remotely, in your time zone, since 2017.
Vancouver has Canada's largest port, a film and TV industry busy enough to earn the Hollywood North nickname, a cluster of game and visual effects studios, and an unusually strong consumer brand scene: specialty coffee, natural foods, outdoor apparel and wellness products. Many of those brands started at a farmers market or a single storefront and now need online stores that handle national shipping, subscriptions and US orders without turning taxes, duties and currency into a headache.
That's where most of our Vancouver work sits. We build Shopify and custom stores with clear catalogs, region-specific shipping, pricing in Canadian and US dollars, and product storytelling that explains where things come from. We've done this for a specialty coffee roaster shipping to US customers. We also support local businesses with SEO in Burnaby, Richmond and Surrey, and help Latino entrepreneurs reach the city's growing Spanish-speaking community. Our nearshore rates leave more budget for inventory and ads than a local agency would.
Hispanic market. Vancouver's Latin American community is smaller than Toronto's but growing every year, with Mexican, Colombian, Chilean and Salvadoran residents in Vancouver, Burnaby and Surrey, many arriving as students or skilled workers.

Vancouver shoppers compare carefully: Instagram, Google reviews and the brand's story all matter before they buy. Origin, sustainability and fast shipping carry weight. In local search, each Metro Vancouver municipality is searched as its own market. Email marketing must follow CASL, Canada's anti-spam law. Within the city's growing Latino community, Instagram and WhatsApp groups drive a lot of recommendations for restaurants and services.
Vancouver is two hours behind Torreón in winter and one hour behind in summer, so your mornings line up with our midday and work has already moved by the time you start. We collaborate over video calls and a shared board. Invoices can be in CAD or USD, contracts in English or Spanish. Your store, domain and accounts are yours, and we train your team to manage products and orders.
