Ottawa and Gatineau · AI search optimization Customers are searching. Make sure they find you, not a competitor.

More people now ask ChatGPT who to call, and it names only a few businesses. We optimize your website and Google profile so AI assistants find you, trust you, and recommend you.

Ten blue links. One answer.

More customers skip the results. They ask an assistant, and it names a few businesses. Here’s how it decides which.

How AI search works

How AI engines recommend and mention businesses like yours.

Fig. 01 · SEO → GEO → AEO

SEO ranks your page in a list of links. GEO gets your brand mentioned inside an AI-generated answer. AEO makes your page the source the answer cites.

What you're paying for

What does our local search optimization team actually do?

We run one program with three parts. The Diagnosis, in month one, decides what to work on. The build then runs every month on your site, your Google Business Profile, your listings and your content. The Proof is one monthly report from your own accounts and our own tracking: what we changed, why, and what it did.

01

Local search

Built to compete for visibility in local search.

Your Google Business Profile, set up properly and kept active. Your name, address, and phone matching on every listing. A consistent optimization plan.

Why this is hard

Keeping up with search is now a full-time job.

The businesses losing ground here are not bad businesses. They are usually the busiest ones. Learning how search works pays nothing directly, so it gets postponed, reasonably, until a competitor with a worse product starts showing up in answers you used to own. You should not have to become an expert in Google, ChatGPT, or whatever comes next just to stay competitive in your own trade.

That is the part we take off your desk.

Questions

Questions businesses ask about local SEO and AI visibility

  • Viziblty's SEO and AI search program costs $2,000 a month, one price for every client in Canada. That covers three parts: the Diagnosis in month one, The build on your existing site and listings, and Proof, a monthly report with AI citation, crawl and lead tracking. Month-to-month also carries a one-time $6,000 setup fee; commit to 12 months and we cover it. The full breakdown is on our pricing page.

  • Viziblty measures your rankings and AI mentions and reports them every month, but does not guarantee either. Your report shows Google and Bing figures from your own accounts, next to the AI citations and crawler visits from our own tracking. Google and each AI engine decide what they show, so what we promise is the work itself, and each month we tell you what we changed.

  • Yes, Viziblty launched a new site for our first client, 100th Meridian, a window film business, on July 11, 2026. On our October 11, 2026 check, 100th Meridian held 27.1% of the AI citations that went to window film businesses in its market, the largest share of the 25 businesses cited. The case study has the full dated figures, and the business itself is at 100thmeridianwindowfilm.com.

  • Viziblty works on what AI engines read before naming a business: your site, Business Profile, listings and content. We check that the search crawlers behind AI search, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot and PerplexityBot, can reach your pages. Every two weeks we ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity about 20 buyer questions each and check Google AI Mode on local keywords, to see who gets named.

  • Viziblty cannot promise customers, so every monthly report carries lead, call and form tracking next to the traffic figures. Our first client, 100th Meridian, shows what that tracking records. In the 26 days after its July 11, 2026 relaunch, the site received 6 inquiries that our server confirmed were delivered. By October 20, 2026 the total was 9, the same number the old site logged in its entire final year.

  • Yes, Viziblty works on the website and listings you already have; The build is not a new website. Each month that means technical fixes, site speed, schema, your Google Business Profile, new content, authority and backlink work, and index submission. You own your site. If you ever want a rebuild, it is an add-on to the program, quoted separately.

  • Yes, Viziblty is an agency with clients anywhere in Canada and a home base in Ottawa and Gatineau. We serve clients in French. If you searched for an agency near me and you are outside Ottawa and Gatineau, the work still happens on your site, your Business Profile and your listings, and your report comes by email each month.

  • Viziblty was co-founded by Alex, Nico and Josh. Our home base is Ottawa and Gatineau, and we work with clients anywhere in Canada. Alex runs strategy and client work, Nico runs product, and Josh runs the data behind your monthly report. The name is spelled Viziblty, with no i after the l. Our about page has more on each of us, including Alex's LinkedIn profile.

  • Viziblty's free AI visibility check runs five checks on your homepage and emails you the full report on every check. Crawler access, structured data and page weight count toward your score; llms.txt and platform are shown for information. It does not check indexing on Google or Bing or show what AI engines currently say about you. The program's Diagnosis records your AI visibility baseline in month one.
