SEO in the age of AI search
What Is SEO, and Does It Still Work With AI Search?
Google describes SEO as helping search engines understand your content, and helping users find your site. That hasn’t changed. What has changed is where people see the answer: Google’s AI Overviews, AI Mode and tools like ChatGPT now answer many questions before anyone clicks.
The good news: Google says there are no additional requirements or special optimizations to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode. The same foundational SEO best practices apply. Businesses with clear, helpful pages, a strong Google Business Profile and good reviews are the ones that get cited.

Local SEO
Rank in the Google Maps Pack in Edmonton and Beyond
Google says local results are based mainly on relevance, distance and popularity, which it also describes as prominence: how well-known a business is. More reviews and positive ratings can help, and there’s no way to pay for a better local ranking.
We optimize every part of that: your profile, your reviews, your listings and the location pages on your website. Serving several cities? We build a page and a plan for each market, from Edmonton to anywhere in Canada.
Local SEO work
- Google Business Profile categories, services and photos
- Review generation and responses
- Consistent name, address and phone across directories
- Local landing pages for each city you serve
- Local links and citations
- Map-pack rank tracking by area
What to expect
How Long Does SEO Take?
Google itself says some changes take effect in a few hours and others could take several months. That’s why our SEO plans start with a 6-month minimum: enough time to fix the foundations and see real movement.
Month 1
Audit & foundations
Technical audit, keyword research, Google Business Profile and tracking set up, urgent fixes.
Months 2–3

Choosing an SEO company
Questions Google Says to Ask Any SEO Company
Google publishes a list of questions to ask before you hire an SEO. We’re happy to answer every one.
Ask your SEO (from Google's list)
- Can you show me examples of your previous work and share some success stories?
- Do you follow the Google Search Essentials?
- What kind of results do you expect to see, and in what timeframe?
- How do you measure your success?
- What's your experience in my industry?
- What's your experience in my country/city?
- How can I expect to communicate with you?
Red flags to watch for
- A guaranteed #1 ranking. Google says no one can guarantee that.
- Buying links. It breaks Google's spam policies and can get a site demoted or removed.
- Secret methods they won't explain.
- Reports with traffic but no leads or calls.
- Long contracts with no clear deliverables.
- You don't own your Google Business Profile or analytics.

Frequently asked questions
SEO Services FAQs
Straight answers about cost, timelines, AI search and what you get.
How much does SEO cost per month?
It depends on your competition, the number of locations you target and how much technical and content work your site needs. We give you a written proposal with a clear monthly scope after a free consultation.
How long does SEO take to work?
Google says some changes take effect in a few hours and others can take several months. Most businesses see meaningful movement over several months, which is why our SEO plans have a 6-month minimum.
Is SEO worth it for a small business?
For most local businesses, yes. Customers search before they call, and ranking in Google Search and Maps brings leads without paying for every click. We’ll tell you honestly if ads would be a better starting point.
What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?
Local SEO focuses on Google Maps and searches with local intent, like ‘IT support Edmonton’ or ‘near me’. Regular SEO targets wider searches across Canada. Most of our clients need a mix of both.
Can you guarantee first-page or #1 rankings?
No, and nobody honest can. Google says no one can guarantee a #1 ranking. We commit to clear work, transparent reporting and measurable improvements in visibility and leads.
Do I need backlinks?
Links still help Google understand your authority, but quality matters far more than quantity. We build links through local citations, partnerships and outreach, never by buying links, which breaks Google’s spam policies.
How do I show up in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT?
Google says there are no special requirements for AI Overviews: the same SEO foundations apply. Clear, helpful pages, a strong Google Business Profile and good reviews make your business more likely to be cited. AI search visibility is part of our SEO work.
What happens if I stop SEO?
Your existing rankings don’t disappear overnight, but competitors keep improving, so rankings can slowly slip. Unlike ads, the work you’ve paid for keeps some value after you stop.
What's in your monthly SEO report?
Keyword rankings, Google Search clicks and impressions, organic traffic, calls and form leads, Google Business Profile activity, the work completed and the plan for next month.
Do you work with businesses outside Edmonton?
Yes. We’re based in Edmonton and work with businesses across Canada, including multi-location businesses that need local SEO in several cities.
What's included in an SEO audit?
Technical health (crawling, indexing, speed, Core Web Vitals), on-page SEO, content gaps, local SEO and Google Business Profile, links, and a prioritized list of fixes.
Why choose an SEO company that's also an IT company?
Because technical problems like slow hosting, security issues, broken redirects and DNS mistakes quietly hold SEO back. Our IT team fixes them directly instead of handing you a report.
