Vancouver businesses the models can actually describe.

1. 01.

   Ask the chats about you.

   We run a fixed set of prompts about your business across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini, then save the answers. That is the baseline. Most small businesses do not appear at all, or appear with the wrong facts. Either way we know the starting point.

2. 02.

   Set the crawl rules.

   robots.txt rules for each major AI crawler, plus an llms.txt and llms-full.txt written for your business. You decide which models are allowed to read the site. Most owners say yes to all of them.

3. 03.

   Build the entity layer.

   Schema markup that names the business properly: full Organization or LocalBusiness, sameAs links to the Google Business Profile, social profiles, and directory listings. The point is unambiguous proof that the business on the site is the business the model has seen elsewhere.

4. 04.

   Shape the content for citation.

   Rewrite the about and service pages so a model can lift a clean two-sentence answer out of them. Q and A sections where they fit. Plain, sourced facts. Models cite what they can quote without paraphrasing it into nonsense.

5. 05.

   Re-ask the chats.

   Same prompts, same models, four to six weeks later. The before and after lands in a short PDF you keep. Anything still wrong gets a second pass.

• Our listings say different things across different sites. Does that matter?

  It matters more here than almost anywhere, because Metro Vancouver's municipalities make location signals ambiguous already. A model faced with conflicting facts about your name, address, or category tends to leave you out rather than guess. Cleaning that up is often the single highest-return part of this work.
• Does this help with prompts in Chinese or Punjabi?

  Only if you have real content in those languages, which is exactly the point. Models answer in the language of the question and draw on sources in that language. A business with genuine multilingual content becomes a candidate for answers almost nobody else in the market is competing for. Without it, those prompts go to somebody else.
• Is this different from SEO?

  Related but not the same. Search ranking is about which page appears in a list. This is about whether a model names your business when somebody asks it a question and never sees a list at all. The technical groundwork overlaps. What you are optimising for does not.
• Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend us?

  No, and be careful with anyone who says otherwise. What is controllable is whether the models can find you, whether the facts they hold about you are correct, and whether your pages are written in a form they can quote. We measure the before and after and show you both.
• Is it too early to bother with this?

  That is a fair question and the honest answer is that it depends on your market. Where competitors have not touched it, the groundwork is cheap and the position is uncontested. Where nobody is asking chatbots about your kind of business yet, we will tell you to spend the money on the website instead.

We also do ai visibility in Toronto, Calgary, and Montréal.
