Someone in your market is asking ChatGPT who is the best company hire right now. If your business isn’t the answer, you’re invisible before your customer ever opens Google.
That’s what AI SEO is for. We built this practice around getting businesses named in those answers, the same way we’ve spent 14 years getting them ranked on Google. Search interest in “AI SEO” has grown fast this year. In a recent survey of over 2,200 consumers, 62% said they trust an AI model’s brand recommendation about as much as they trust a traditional search result.
Why this is different from the SEO you already know?
For twenty years, ranking well meant showing up on page one of Google for keywords. That’s still true. But a growing share of searches never make it to Google at all. AI search doesn’t work the same as traditional SEO. It works like asking a friend who already did the homework. When someone asks an AI model for the best HVAC company in their city, it doesn’t hand over a list. It picks three, maybe four, and moves on.

★★★★★ Rated #1 Agency in Dufferin County
AI SEO is a service that optimizes your website, pages and content so AI engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity AI choose your business as a trusted source.
We go deep into the research of how your product or service is being cited in the LLM’s, how users are asking about your business and then structuring content to earn visibility inside AI-generated answers.
Traditional SEO and AI SEO aren’t rivals competing for your budget. They share a foundation: clear structure and content that answers the question being asked. AI SEO adds a layer on top, built specifically for how these models read and cite a page.
When someone searches for a product or service in 2026, they are increasingly doing it by asking ChatGPT, Google or Perplexity a question. The way they are asking has changed too, they may ask: “Who is the best bakery in Orangeville that has a large selection of gluten free products”.
AI platforms generate an answer, it cites several sources. If your business is not in the top 3 sources, a competitor is. That competitor gets the recommendation, the phone call, and the sale from a buyer who already trusts the AI’s recommendation.

How We Compare to Other AEO Agencies
| What Most Agencies Call "AI SEO" | What Wild Mango Does |
|---|---|
| Use ChatGPT to write content faster | Use AI to find content gaps competitors missed |
| Automate meta descriptions | Optimise content structure so AI engines cite it |
| Run AI-powered technical audits | Build AI-first content architecture (AEO + GEO) |
| Report on Google rankings | Track citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google AI Overviews |
AI citations tend to show up faster than a traditional Google ranking climb. Our quickest result was a client cited within 48 hours. Most see movement within three weeks.
Traditional Google rankings still take three to six months to show real movement. That part hasn’t changed. AI SEO doesn’t replace the long game. It runs alongside it.
The best approach is to layer your SEO/Local SEO and AEO into a compounding structure. Ranking for not only for keywords, but being cited in Google’s Ai Overview & chatGPT will give your brand total coverage.
Most business owners have no idea whether they appear in AI-generated results. Most agencies do not know either, because they are not tracking it. Here is a five-minute check you can run right now.
Open ChatGPT and type “best [your service] in [your city].” Is your business mentioned? Run the same search in Perplexity. Then search your main keyword on Google and look for an AI Overview box at the top of the page. Finally, open Google Search Console and filter for AI Overview impressions to see whether your content is triggering them.
If you do not appear in any of these, you have an AI SEO gap. That gap will get harder and more expensive to close as competitors lock in those citation positions.

We were early, and our clients are already in the results. Wild Mango adopted AEO and GEO before most Canadian agencies had heard the acronym. That head start means our clients are already being cited in AI-generated answers today.
What is the ChatGPT search market share in 2026?
You get a full team, not a freelancer. Steve, Ryan, Spencer, are the people who own your results. You deal with the same team every day.
Canada-wide, Ontario-based. We understand Canadian search behaviour, Canadian buyer intent, and the competitive landscape for businesses in Ontario, BC, and Alberta and coast to coast.
We treat this the way we've always treated SEO: research first, then build, then track what's working.
Research. We study how AI models are already answering questions in your industry, and where your business is missing from that conversation.
Build. We restructure your content so it's easy for both Google and AI models to read, trust, and quote. That includes on-page work plus digital PR, the kind of third-party mentions AI models weigh heavily when deciding who to trust.
Track. You get a monthly report showing what's actually being cited, plus ongoing visibility into how people in your market are using AI to search.
YES! We work with home service businesses like plumbers and HVAC companies, professional services, e-commerce, retail, health and wellness practices, restaurants, in-home care services, real estate and construction services of all types.
Picture a local dentist. Someone new to town asks ChatGPT which dentist to see. If that practice's site never explained its approach in a way an AI model could pick up and repeat, it doesn't get named. AI SEO is the work that gets it named. Call us to find out. tel:647-557-7657
I already do SEO. Do I need this too? Probably. Ranking well on Google doesn't guarantee an AI model knows you exist. We've seen well-ranked sites stay invisible in AI Overviews and ChatGPT.
How long does it take? As little as 48 hours for a first citation. Most clients see results within three weeks. It depends on your business.
AI SEO is the practice of optimizing a website to rank in Google AND to be cited by AI platforms like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity. It combines two approaches: using AI tools to uncover smarter keyword and content opportunities, and structuring content so AI engines select it as a trusted source when generating answers for users.
Traditional SEO focuses on ranking keywords on Google or Bing. AI SEO also optimizes for AI-generated answers, the responses ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity generate when someone asks a question. Businesses cited in AI results see 4 to 8 times higher conversion rates than traditional organic traffic, because the buyer already trusts the AI's recommendation when they arrive.
Yes. Your current SEO may perform well in Google's standard results based on keywords, while you remain completely invisible in AI Overviews and ChatGPT. A growing share of high-intent buyers now begin their searches in ChatGPT. Our AEO service closes that visibility gap.
AI citation results can appear in as little as 3 weeks.
Our quickest cited source was 48 hours. But speed is not the angle. Being the most trusted source for your industry and location is where you want to be.
AEO Only Packages start at $1,500 per month, this includes research, content strategy, digital pr, full citation monitoring, and detailed AI visibility reporting.
