Several Canadian providers offer this service, usually called **answer engine optimization (AEO)** or **generative engine optimization (GEO)**. Options to investigate include:

- **[SETMedia](https://www.setmedia.ca/)** — Located in downtown **Kitchener**. Offers AI search optimization alongside Google Maps and local SEO for restaurants, retailers, clinics, contractors and other local businesses.
- **[EMDigital](https://www.emdigital.ca/)** — Ontario-based and explicitly serves small and mid-market businesses. Its SearchBoost service combines AEO, GEO and traditional SEO, including website improvements, structured data and content.
- **[AdLynk](https://adlynk.ca/services/aeo-geo)** — Based in Orangeville and serves Southern Ontario. Offers website schema, business authority and citation work, plus monthly testing across AI search platforms.
- **[Summiting](https://summiting.ca/)** — A small, founder-run service focused on local Ontario businesses. Offers AI visibility audits, website and listing improvements, and content creation; its website says it is accepting its first five clients.

**For a Kitchener business, SETMedia is a practical local starting point; EMDigital is another option with an explicit small-business focus.** These are based on the providers’ advertised services, rather than independently verified results.

Before hiring, ask for a comparable client example, a written scope and pricing, and reporting that connects AI visibility to enquiries or sales.
