What “AI SEO” should mean

Optimizing for AI search, not writing SEO with AI

What we do not sell

  • AI-written articles at volume. Engines get nothing from text they could have produced themselves.
  • Guaranteed ChatGPT mentions. Nobody controls what an engine says.
  • A special file or a trick. llms.txt is hygiene, not a lever.

What we do

  • Pages that answer first and prove it, written by staff writers.
  • Press, reviews, forums and video that corroborate you.
  • One statement of what you do, everywhere an engine reads.
  • A baseline and monthly share of answer on two instruments.

The engines

Five AI engines, one question panel

Each engine picks sources differently, so we track each one separately against the same questions your buyers ask.

Google AI Overviews and AI Mode

Answers drawn from Google’s own index, so the SEO foundation matters most here. The engine most Canadians see first.

ChatGPT

Searches the web when it needs to and cites what it used. Rewards clear, well-sourced pages and brands the web agrees on.

Perplexity

Shows its sources next to every answer, which makes it the easiest place to see who gets cited instead of you.

Gemini

Google’s assistant, increasingly where research starts on Android and in Workspace.

Copilot

Microsoft’s assistant, built into Windows, Edge and Office. Common for B2B buyers at work.

Why an agency, not a tool

AI search reads the whole web. An SEO shop can only fix the site.

SEO and web

Speed, structure and structured data.

SEO

Content

Answer-first pages, written by people.

Content

PR

Press an engine can check you against.

Social and creators

Third-party proof on the platforms engines read.

How to choose

Five questions to ask any AI SEO agency

  1. How will you measure whether AI names us, and what is our baseline?
  2. Who writes the content, and how much of it is AI?
  3. What will you do off our website?
  4. Which result in your case studies was not yours?
  5. What happens in month one, and what do we have at the end of it?

AI SEO, the short answers

What is an AI SEO agency?

An agency that gets your business found and recommended in AI search: Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot. Some agencies use the label to mean they write SEO content with AI. We mean the first thing.

Is AI SEO the same as LLM SEO, GEO or AEO?

Yes, they are names for the same work. LLM SEO and ChatGPT SEO describe the engine, GEO is the research term, and AEO is the business term we use.

Can you get us mentioned in ChatGPT?

We can make you the clearest, best-supported answer for the questions your customers ask, and measure how often ChatGPT names you every month. Nobody can guarantee a mention, and an agency that promises one is guessing.

Do we need to replace our SEO agency?

For our plans, yes, because accountability for results has to sit with one team. If you want to keep your SEO agency, we offer a social and embedded content package that follows their plan.

How long until we see movement?

Month one is setup and ends with a baseline. Movement usually shows within three to four months and compounds over twelve.

How much does an AI SEO agency cost in Canada?

Our plans run from $5,000 a month for one market to $20,000 to $30,000 for national programs. Month one is setup, with no setup fee, and ninety days’ notice if you leave.
