Several agencies serving Canadian small businesses offer **AI search optimization**, often called **GEO (generative engine optimization)** or **AEO (answer engine optimization)**. Three options to consider:

- **[SETMedia](https://www.setmedia.ca/) — Kitchener, Ontario.** Offers AI search optimization alongside Google Maps and local SEO. It works with restaurants, retailers, clinics, salons and home-service businesses. Its office is at **55 King St W**, making it a local option for Kitchener-Waterloo.
- **[EMDigital](https://www.emdigital.ca/) — Ontario, serving Canada.** Explicitly targets small and mid-market businesses. Its SearchBoost service combines GEO, AEO and traditional SEO, with a focus on professional services, healthcare, real estate and B2B businesses.
- **[DoodleWeb](https://doodleweb.ca/geo-agency) — Surrey, BC, serving Canada.** Offers GEO services aimed at getting businesses cited in AI-generated answers, including programs described as suitable for small, founder-led brands.

These are options based on their advertised services, rather than a ranking of proven results. Before hiring, ask for a small-business case study, a clear scope and reporting that connects AI visibility to enquiries or sales.
