How I work with Toronto teams
Toronto companies often rank decently in Canada and invisibly in the US, or the reverse. I set up hreflang for en-CA, en-US and fr-CA where appropriate, build pages that address Canadian pricing, support and data residency, and target the comparison searches where Canadian buyers weigh local options against US vendors. GEO work makes sure AI assistants know you serve Canada specifically.
What’s included
- AI visibility audit — how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews describe you and your competitors today
- Prompt set that tracks the questions your buyers actually ask AI assistants
- Entity consistency — name, description, offers, people and profiles aligned across the web
- Structured data (Organization, Service, Product, FAQ, Article) and an llms.txt file
- Answer-first content — pages that state the answer up front and back it with specifics
- Citation and brand-mention plan — directories, comparisons, reviews, communities and press
- Monthly AI visibility report alongside search and AI referral traffic
The Toronto context
- CASL is one of the world's strictest anti-spam laws: commercial emails and texts need express or implied consent, sender identification and a working unsubscribe, and implied consent expires after set periods.
- Selling into Quebec brings Law 25's consent and transparency rules as well as French-language requirements for commercial content, so a bilingual site is often a legal need rather than a nice-to-have.
Tracking and data collection follow PIPEDA, CASL & Quebec Law 25. PIPEDA requires meaningful consent and clear purposes for collecting personal data, while Law 25 adds stricter consent and privacy-by-default rules for Quebec residents. Email and SMS programs record consent type and expiry under CASL, and site tracking uses consent-aware tagging that works for both Canadian and US visitors.

FAQ
SEO & GEO Consultant in Toronto: FAQ
Should we have separate Canadian and US versions of our website?
If pricing, availability or regulations differ, yes. Separate versions with hreflang help Google show the right page to each audience. If your offer is identical, a single site with clear market signals may be enough.
Does SEO work differently in Canada?
The fundamentals are the same, but competition and search volumes differ, and Canadian buyers look for signs you serve Canada: CAD pricing, local support and Canadian data hosting. Content that addresses those points converts better.
Can you invoice a Canadian company in CAD?
I can invoice in CAD or USD. GST/HST is generally not charged on my invoices for cross-border services, and your accountant confirms whether any self-assessment applies on your side.
Do you understand CASL?
Yes. I set up email and SMS programs that record how consent was obtained, when implied consent expires and how people unsubscribe. Your legal counsel confirms the final consent language, but the systems make compliance routine.
