SEO and AI Search Agency in Toronto and Vaughan
Social Know How® is an SEO company in Toronto and Vaughan that helps established businesses rank on Google, win the local map pack and get cited by AI search tools like ChatGPT.
Traditional SEO gets you ranked. AI SEO gets you cited.
AI SEO, also called AEO or GEO, is the practice of structuring your website so AI engines can extract and trust your content. Ranking on Google no longer guarantees you get cited: most AI Overview citations now come from pages outside Google’s top 10. That makes AI visibility a new playing field your competitors haven’t claimed yet.

WHY SEO AND AI SEARCH MATTER
How SEO and AI Search Help Your Business Grow
When your customers ask an AI assistant who to hire, the answer names two or three businesses, not ten blue links. Being one of them is worth more than a page-two ranking, and far fewer of your competitors are working for it.
✓ Get recommended. By ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, reaching customers who now ask AI instead of Google.
✓ Fix how AI describes you. Correct your services, service area and pricing.
✓ Stronger SEO too. Cited authority strengthens your traditional search rankings at the same time.
✓ Fast and lasting. Technical fixes go live immediately, and cited authority builds over 2 to 6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does SEO take to show results?
Technical fixes (schema, llms.txt, crawler access) are live immediately and typically reflected in AI answers within weeks. Google rankings and cited authority usually build over 2 to 6 months, depending on how competitive your market is.
Is AI SEO different from regular SEO?
Yes. SEO targets rankings on a results page; AI SEO targets being quoted inside an AI's answer. They share foundations, but AI SEO prioritizes structured data, extractable answers, and entity trust.
How much does SEO cost in Toronto?
SEO and AI search starts at $2,500 per month. The final scope depends on your site's current state, so we start with an audit and then quote the fixes. Book a free discovery call for a quote.
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
Answer engine optimization is structuring your website so search engines and AI assistants can pull your content as the direct answer to a question. It relies on clear question-and-answer content, structured data and consistent business information.
What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
Generative engine optimization is getting your business mentioned and cited when AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity write an answer. It depends on your website, your reviews and what trusted third-party sites say about you.
How do I get my business to show up in ChatGPT?
Rank well on Google, keep your business details consistent everywhere, collect reviews, get listed on trusted directories, and answer customer questions clearly on your site. AI tools draw their answers from those same sources.
