SEO & GEO

Found on Google.
Named by AI.

Your customers search on Google, check the map, and more and more often ask ChatGPT. We help local businesses in Toronto and across Ontario show up in all three.

Example AI answer

If customers can’t find you, nothing else on your website matters. Search is still where most local work starts.

Show Up in the Map Pack

When someone searches “roofer near me”, Google shows a map with three businesses first. That spot gets a large share of the calls. Getting there comes down to a complete Google Business Profile, steady reviews and a website that backs it up.

We set up and manage your profile, build pages for each area you serve and keep your business details consistent across the web.

  • Google Business Profile setup and weekly posts
  • Review requests and reply templates
  • Consistent name, address and phone everywhere

What Is GEO?

GEO stands for generative engine optimization. In plain words: making sure AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews know your business and mention it when someone asks for a recommendation.

These tools build answers from what they can find and trust online: your website, your reviews, directories and articles that mention you. GEO makes that information clear, consistent and easy for AI to quote.

We track a set of real questions your customers might ask and check, every month, which AI tools name you. No one can guarantee an AI will recommend you, but you can make it much easier for it to.

Content and Schema That Machines Understand

Google and AI tools both reward pages that answer real questions clearly. We write service pages, city pages and helpful guides based on what your customers actually search for and ask.

Behind the scenes we add schema markup, a structured label that spells out your business name, services, area, hours and reviews in a format search engines and AI can read without guessing.

  • Keyword research for your trade and area
  • Service, city and FAQ pages that answer real questions
  • LocalBusiness, Service and FAQ schema

SEO and GEO Work Together

They aren’t separate projects. The same work that helps you rank on Google gives AI tools better information about you.

SEO: rank in search results

Classic SEO gets your pages onto the first page of Google for the searches that bring in work. It’s built on a fast site, useful pages, links from trusted sites and a strong Google Business Profile.

GEO: get named in AI answers

GEO helps AI assistants pick your business when someone asks for a recommendation. It leans on clear facts, consistent listings, reviews and mentions across the web. GEO vs SEO explained

Questions, Answered

Anything else? Ask us directly.

What is the difference between SEO and GEO?
SEO helps your pages rank in Google’s search results. GEO helps AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity mention your business in their answers. Much of the work overlaps. Read our full GEO vs SEO guide.
Can you guarantee first place on Google or in ChatGPT?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Google and AI tools decide their own results. What we can do is fix what holds you back, build what helps you rank, and show you clearly what changes each month.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes and Google Business Profile improvements can help within weeks. Ranking for competitive searches usually takes several months of steady work. Our guide on how long SEO takes goes into detail.
How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
Make your business easy to understand and easy to trust: clear service and area pages, schema markup, consistent listings, good reviews and mentions on sites AI tools read. Our guide on getting cited by ChatGPT walks through it.
How much does SEO cost?
Local SEO, Google Business Profile and GEO foundations start in our Foundation plan at $1,800 CAD per month. Full GEO for ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity plus advanced content is in Growth at $3,200. See pricing for details.
Do I need a new website to do SEO?
Not always. We often improve an existing site. If it’s slow, hard to edit or built on a platform that limits SEO, we may recommend a custom website, and we’ll explain why during your audit.
