The Way People Find Businesses Has Changed. Here's How to Make Sure They Find Yours.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

I already work with an SEO agency. Do I still need AI SEO?
In most cases, yes. Traditional SEO agencies focus on Google organic rankings through keyword targeting, link building, and on-page optimization. That work remains valuable and creates the domain authority that AI platforms also consider. But AI search optimization requires additional specific work that most traditional SEO agencies are not yet doing: structured data beyond basic schema, entity authority building, FAQ architecture for AI citation, and brand monitoring across AI platforms. If your current agency is not actively addressing how your business appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, that is a gap worth filling. AI SEO can run alongside your existing SEO engagement without conflict or duplication.
Is AI SEO relevant for my type of business?
If your customers use search to find you, whether that is Google, ChatGPT, or Perplexity, AI SEO is relevant. It is particularly high-value for businesses in competitive local markets, professional services, healthcare, home services, financial services, legal, and e-commerce. In these categories, AI platforms are increasingly being used to shortlist providers and make recommendations. The businesses showing up in those recommendations have typically invested in AI search optimization. The best way to assess relevance for your specific situation is to run the free AI Search Audit tool, which checks your site against real AI platform signals and gives you an honest score across five key categories.
How is AI SEO priced and what does an engagement look like?
AI SEO engagements are scoped based on your goals, competitive landscape, and which services are most relevant to your situation. Most clients start with an AI Search Audit, which establishes the baseline and shapes the strategy. From there, ongoing work is structured as a monthly retainer covering the services that make the most sense, which might include content optimization, schema implementation, entity authority building, and brand monitoring. Pricing is transparent and there are no long-term lock-in contracts. Billing runs month-to-month. We provide a clear scope of work before any engagement begins so you know exactly what is included and what you are investing.
How long does it take to see results?
The first meaningful results from AI SEO typically emerge within 3 to 6 months, though some improvements, particularly from schema implementation and FAQ content, can influence AI citations within 4 to 8 weeks. Speed depends on your starting position, industry competitiveness, and the pace of implementation. Businesses with strong existing authority tend to see faster movement. AI platforms also update their retrieval mechanisms on their own schedule, which makes timing less predictable than traditional Google SEO. We track progress monthly via RankScale and include AI citation rate changes in monthly reporting so you always have a clear picture of what is moving and why.
How do I know if AI SEO is actually working?
We measure AI SEO performance through RankScale, which systematically tracks your brand's visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Monthly reporting shows your AI citation rate for target queries, how AI platforms describe your business, and how these metrics are trending over time. This is combined with your standard Keyword Ranking Report tracking Google organic positions. Beyond the numbers, you will often notice qualitative changes: AI platforms describing your business more accurately, prospects mentioning they found you through an AI recommendation, or competitors appearing less frequently alongside you in AI responses. These signals, combined with the quantitative tracking, give a complete picture of progress.
What if my website is quite new or my business is relatively unknown?
Newer businesses can absolutely benefit from AI SEO, and starting early creates a compounding advantage. The foundational work, including schema markup, FAQ architecture, entity signals, and Google Business Profile optimization, is largely independent of how long your business has been around. Where it becomes more challenging is in the authority and citation-building aspects of GEO, which favors established brands with more web presence. For newer businesses, the recommended starting point is getting the technical and content foundations right while gradually building entity signals through consistent presence and citations. The AI Search Audit identifies exactly where to focus first given your current starting position.
Do you work with businesses across Canada or only in Toronto?
We work with businesses across Canada and internationally. While the firm is based in Toronto, AI SEO and digital marketing engagements are not constrained by geography. We have clients in major Canadian cities including Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, and Montreal, as well as clients in the United States and internationally. For businesses targeting local markets, we tailor the AI SEO strategy to their specific geographic area, including local entity signals, Google Business Profile optimization, and location-specific content and schema. For national or international businesses, the strategy focuses more on topical authority, entity building, and content architecture across the full service area.
What does the AI Search Audit cover and should I start there?
The AI Search Audit is a comprehensive assessment of how your business currently appears across AI-powered search platforms. It covers schema markup, content structure, entity authority, brand citations, and technical readiness, scoring you across five key categories and delivering a prioritized recommendations roadmap. For most businesses new to AI SEO, the audit is the right first step. It replaces guesswork with data: you will know exactly which gaps are most critical and which services will have the highest impact for your specific situation. We offer a free automated version of the tool that scans your site and gives you an instant score, a useful starting point before committing to a full professional engagement.
