Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about AI visibility, the Audit, the Quick Start, and the Retainer.
AI visibility is how clearly your business can be found, understood, and considered across Google, maps, AI assistants, and the online sources those tools may use. It is not a separate trick or one-time setting. Accurate business information, useful website content, technical accessibility, reviews, proof, and relevant profiles all contribute to the conditions that support visibility.
The $299 Audit diagnoses your current visibility and identifies the most important gaps. The $997 Quick Start implements the highest-priority one-time foundations that fit the signed scope. The Retainer starts at $597 per month and continues with genuine overflow and the largest remaining visibility or conversion gap.
Every business has different strengths, eligibility rules, audiences, platforms, and gaps. I use the Audit to decide where the available time and budget will create the most practical value instead of selling the same checklist to everyone.
I prioritize the work that matters most and clearly identify what remains. If you continue with the Retainer, those remaining priorities help determine the first monthly scope. Nothing is silently added or promised outside the signed Statement of Work.
It depends on the signed scope. Some projects include recommendations, ready-to-use copy, and technical specifications for your webmaster. Other custom projects may include direct implementation. Your Statement of Work will make the responsibility clear before work begins.
No. The AI Visibility System focuses on organic discoverability, business profiles, website clarity, proof, reviews, and AI search monitoring. Paid advertising setup and campaign management are not included unless they are quoted separately as a different service.
Possibly. If a project requires a third-party platform, software subscription, hosting plan, or API, I will identify it before implementation. Those costs are paid directly by you and are separate from my fee.
Most Quick Starts are planned over approximately two to four weeks from kickoff. Timing depends on the agreed scope, account access, verification steps, client approvals, platform reviews, and any webmaster work outside my control.
You receive a personalized report of at least six pages with four visibility scores, six customer-style prompts tested across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and Claude, competitor comparisons, Google and Apple checks where applicable, a verified website review, and a prioritized action plan. Eligible local businesses may also receive one Google Maps geo-grid scan for a priority service. The Audit is normally delivered within one to two business days.
No. I am based in Toronto and can meet clients within Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area by arrangement. I also work remotely with small businesses across Canada and the United States.
There is no guaranteed timeline. Some foundational corrections can be made quickly, but search engines and AI tools decide what they crawl, index, display, cite, or recommend. Competition, location, existing authority, reviews, content, and platform changes all affect timing. I measure observed results honestly instead of promising a ranking date.
I primarily work with local service businesses, professional service providers, and solopreneurs that need practical help improving visibility, simplifying work, or implementing an idea. The exact visibility strategy depends on whether the business is brick-and-mortar, service-area, remote, or online-only.
Not necessarily. AI visibility shares important foundations with good SEO, including crawlability, useful content, business information, and authority. I can identify where my work complements your existing provider and avoid duplicating tasks.
SEO helps search engines crawl, understand, and rank website content. AI visibility builds on those same foundations while also reviewing business profiles, public information, proof, reviews, relevant authority sources, and how the business appears in AI-generated answers. It is an extension of strong search fundamentals, not a replacement for them.
