AI SEO agency · Toronto · ChatGPT and Google's AIAI SEO. Built to get you named.
When customers ask ChatGPT or Google's AI who to hire, are you named? Redline Toronto, an AI SEO agency in Toronto, checks across repeated runs. Then we work on what decides it: your Google rankings, your Business Profile and what other sites say about you. No one controls what an assistant says, so we never promise a mention.
Free and written. Within 1 business day. No call needed. It checks whether ChatGPT and Google's AI name you.
GEO and AEO, in plain English.
GEO helps AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity mention, cite and recommend your brand. It takes SEO past blue links. The goal is to be the source the AI trusts and quotes.
AEO shapes your content so machines can pull out a clean, direct answer. It uses short answer blocks, FAQ and how-to formats, schema markup and clear entities. It earns featured snippets, People Also Ask spots and AI citations.
How they fit: SEO is the base, AEO is the format, and GEO is the result across AI platforms. Same roots: Google says its AI search depends on its core ranking systems, with no special schema or AI files required. So we run them as one program.
| Compared | SEO | AEO | GEO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goal | Rank in Google's links | Win the direct answer | Be recommended by AI |
| Where | Organic search results | Snippets, PAA, AI answers | ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews |
| Levers | Authority, content, technical | Answer blocks, schema, structure | Entities, authority, citations, consistency |
| Wins you | Clicks | Featured placement | The recommendation |
Search split in two. Be in both.
When someone asks an assistant, the answer cites a handful of sources. If you aren't one of them, that customer may never see you.
The businesses that get named tend to have clear pages, consistent facts across the web and mentions on the sites assistants cite. All three take steady work.
No one controls what an assistant says, and answers change from run to run. So we take a fixed set of your customers' questions and run each one several times on each assistant. Then we compare against a dated baseline every month.
How our AI SEO works.
1 · Answer-first content
We rewrite your key pages so each section opens with a short answer that stands on its own. That's the format AI tools lift into replies. It helps featured snippets too.
2 · Structured data
We add valid structured data (JSON-LD): Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, Article, Breadcrumb, Person and more. It makes your facts unambiguous to Google. Google says its AI search needs no special schema, so we treat it as groundwork, not a shortcut.
3 · The same facts everywhere
We make your business easy to describe. Your name, description and details match on your site, in your structured data and on the profiles AI models learn from. When every source agrees, models are more likely to describe you accurately.
4 · Authority and digital PR
We go after mentions in the publications, roundups and directories that rank on Google and feed AI answers. These often decide whether a model knows you, or recommends you.
5 · Freshness and coverage
We keep your content current, with visible update dates. And we fill the gaps, so your site answers your category's questions end to end.
6 · Measurement
We track how often each assistant mentions and cites you. You see the trend each month, next to your rankings, traffic and leads. Our published case studies are Google results; we haven't published AI visibility results yet.
The AI platforms we optimize for.

OpenAI's assistant, plus its search features.

How we audit your AI visibility.
First, we measure. We collect the real questions your customers ask an assistant, like these:
- "Which SEO agency in Toronto should I hire?"
- "Which digital marketing company should I use for a Toronto dental clinic?"
- "Compare the top web design firms in Toronto."
- "What's a good agency for Google Ads and SEO?"
- "Recommend a marketing agency that does AI search optimization."
Then we check each engine's answers. Are you mentioned, and cited? Who gets named instead, and from which sources?
Next, we audit what drives citations: answer-first content, valid schema, consistent business facts and third-party mentions. You get a roadmap of changes, ranked by impact.
For the full playbook, read our LLM SEO guide.
Is AI SEO right for your business?
If your customers compare providers or ask for recommendations, some already ask AI assistants. GEO/AEO suits considered purchases: professional services, healthcare and dental, legal, SaaS and tech, real estate, home and trades, moving and logistics, and automotive.
Three numbers from 2026:
- 45% of US consumers use ChatGPT or other AI tools for local business recommendations (BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey).
- Nearly 6 in 10 small business owners say they don't know where to start with AI search (Squarespace survey).
- 40% of owners who checked found wrong information about their business in AI search (the same Squarespace survey).

Comparing agencies? Read our guide on how to choose an AI SEO agency.
What does an AI SEO agency do?
It makes your business easy for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews to find, trust and recommend. That means answer-first pages, consistent business facts, mentions on the sources AI tools cite, and tracking how often you appear. At Redline Toronto, it's built on classic SEO, because AI tools lean on pages that already rank.
What is LLM SEO?
LLM SEO, or LLMO, is optimizing for the models behind ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity so they name and cite you. It overlaps with GEO and AEO: clear entities, specific answers, structured pages and strong third-party presence. Our LLM SEO guide covers the steps.
How much does AI SEO cost?
At Redline Toronto, AI search is part of every package, not sold separately. Redline's packages start with a three-month Qualification period at $5,000 USD a month, then Growth at $20,000 or Scale at $55,000 a month. See our guide to how much SEO costs in Toronto for what drives the price.
How do you get a brand cited by ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?
Make your brand the clearest, most trusted source on your topic. That means answer-first content, the same business facts across the web, mentions on the sites AI tools cite, and pages kept up to date. AI engines favour sources that are well-structured, consistent and credible.
Do I need llms.txt or special markup for AI search?
No. Google says you can ignore unnecessary AI text files like llms.txt, and that structured data isn't required for its AI search. Clear pages that rank, consistent business facts and an up-to-date Google Business Profile matter more.
Can you measure AI search visibility?
Yes. We track how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Copilot and Grok mention and cite you. We use the prompts your customers actually ask, and report the trend next to your rankings and traffic.
How will I know if AI sends us customers?
Ask every new lead how they found you. Some people read an AI answer, then search your name or type your address, so analytics shows a Google or direct visit. Every form on this site asks "How did you hear about us?", with ChatGPT and Google's AI as options.
Do I still need traditional SEO if I do GEO/AEO?
Yes. Classic search still drives most high-intent clicks, and AI engines lean on the same signals SEO builds: authority, structure and relevance. So we run both together, in every program.
Does GEO/AEO help with local searches too?
Yes. AI assistants now answer questions like 'which [service] in Toronto should I call?' They draw on local SEO signals: your Google Business Profile, reviews, citations and local content. We work on those so you show up on the map, in organic results and in AI answers.
How quickly can we see AI visibility improve?
It depends on where you start. AI engines re-crawl often, so answer-first content and valid schema can get picked up within weeks. Consistent business facts and earned mentions take longer, which is why starting early helps.
