SEO + AI visibility (GEO) for small and medium businesses
You ask AI for answers. Your next client is doing the same.
Same questions, same trust in whatever comes back. So when someone asks who to call for what you do — will they find you? Will you be the preferred choice?
The answer names two or three firms. There is no second page, no list to scroll, and no way to appeal it.
Your website was optimised for search engines. Your clients are asking for answers.
Where are you starting from?
Fixing the site you have, or building a new one?
Two different jobs. Pick yours and the next step is one page away.
I have a site. I want to be named.
Start with the free first measurement: we ask your buyers' real questions, record who the assistants name today, and show you where you stand before anything is spent.
02I'm building or redesigning a site.
Read the four silent killers of a rebuild first. Then have the new site checked before it goes live, so the visibility you already have does not leave with the old one.
For small and medium businesses
What does an assistant need to name a small business?
Be Preferred is designed for small and medium businesses. The questions are practical: what are assistants saying today, what should change next, and can a buyer actually find you?
The work in three clear moves
- Start with real questionsThe full sentences your buyers ask, in the language they use.
- Check today’s answerSee what assistants say now, without dressing up the result.
- Correct, then check againMake your facts clearer and measure the change every month.
See the product
See what is at stake in a single answer.
This example is deliberately fictional. It shows how a short answer can include or leave out a business before a buyer opens a result.
Who should I talk to about commercial financing in Montreal?
A few firms come up consistently for commercial financing in the Montreal area:
- A competitor — mid-market lending, downtown.
- Your business — commercial and multi-unit financing, Saint-Laurent. Works in French and English.
- Another competitor — construction lending.
Three names. Whoever is not in the list was never considered, and will never know the conversation happened.
Ten blue links were a shortlist. One answer is a decision.

Measured, not promised
Real measurements, from real client files
Our own site, when we started
We ran the same test on ourselves: named in 0 answers. We publish our own baseline — and the month it changes, this line changes with it. Read that test case.
Named client work
The pre-launch rebuild verdict for Shaffer Capital, commercial financing in Montreal — read the case — and ongoing visibility work for crossborderloans.ca, U.S. mortgage financing for Canadian buyers.
The questions buyers ask, answered in plain words
Who offers GEO services in Montreal? · Which GEO consultant should I hire? · Why doesn’t ChatGPT mention my business? · How do I get mentioned by ChatGPT? — and what we have measured for named clients, with what we refuse to claim.
Every number above comes from a dated, recorded measurement of what the assistants actually answered. When a client goes from unnamed to named, this section will show the before and the after.
Starting
We will run the assessment before you commit to anything.
Send us your details and we put your buyers' questions to four assistants. You get back what they said verbatim — whether you appeared, who did, and what they got wrong — together with the three changes that would make the largest difference.
There is no charge for this and nothing to sign. Take the three recommendations and implement them yourself if that suits you.
