GEO Agency in Montreal: Be the Business the AI Engines Recommend.
When a client asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity which agency, firm or supplier to choose, the AI only gives a few names. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) makes sure yours is one of them. We are a development agency in Montreal: we code what we recommend ourselves, and we measure what the AI engines say about you every month.

What is GEO?
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization, or AI search optimization) covers everything that makes an AI understand your business, trust it and cite it in its answers. Generative engines don't rank ten blue links: they write an answer and name two or three options.
Getting in takes two things. A site that AI crawlers can read and cite: server-rendered content, structured data, direct answers. And outside sources that confirm who you are: rankings, directories, reviews, media. Good SEO gives you a head start, but it isn't enough: AI engines mostly compile what others say about you.
Your clients are already asking an AI for advice.
The question isn't whether your clients will use AI to shop, it's whether you'll be in the answer.
- Invisible in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity's answers
- Content ages, AI cites what's kept current elsewhere
- No data on what AI engines say about your business
- Traffic depends entirely on your Google ranking
- ✓Cited as a trusted option in AI answers
- ✓Content optimized and refreshed every month
- ✓Monthly tracking of your mentions and citations
- ✓A second acquisition channel, independent of Google
What our GEO includes
We markup your services, reviews, and business so AI agents understand exactly who you are and what you offer.
We structure your pages with clear, direct answers, the format AI agents prefer to cite in their responses.
llms.txt files and technical setup so major AI platforms' crawlers can read your site correctly.
We strengthen the expertise, experience, and trustworthiness signals AI models use to decide who to recommend.
Google reviews, directories, professional networks: we optimize the sources AI tools consult to shape their answers.
We monitor how and when your business is mentioned in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Copilot's answers.
Our strength
GEO is on-site and off-site too.
An AI recommends a business it can read, and that others talk about. In an Ahrefs study of about 75,000 brands, brand mentions across the web correlate most with appearing in Google's AI Overviews (0.664). So we work on both: what your pages say, and what the rest of the web says about you.
On your website
Making your business readable and citable by AI crawlers.
- ✓AI crawlers allowed (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) and an llms.txt file
- ✓Server-rendered pages, structured data and FAQ
- ✓Content written to be cited: direct answer first, sourced figures
Beyond your website: public relations and reputation
Getting sources AI engines trust to confirm who you are.
- ✓Public relations: press releases and mentions of your brand in the media
- ✓Directories and associations that confirm who you are
- ✓Google reviews and testimonials that confirm your reputation
- ✓Presence where people look for you: LinkedIn, YouTube and forums
Our audit measures both: what an AI reads on your website, and what it finds about you elsewhere.
Our GEO method, in four steps.
GEO Monitor asks ten of your clients' questions to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode in a fresh session, and records who gets cited, how you are described and what is wrong.
AI crawlers allowed, server-rendered pages, structured data (business, services, prices, FAQ), direct answers at the top of each section and an llms.txt file. We code it ourselves.
Rankings and directories the AI engines cite, Google reviews, media mentions and consistent profiles (legal name, address, logo, team): AI engines cross-check sources before recommending.
Every month, the same questions are asked again. We measure share of voice against your competitors, fix what the AI engines get wrong about you and adjust the plan.
AI engines get things wrong about you too. We see it, and we fix it.
An AI can mix your business up with a namesake, quote an outdated price or send your clients to the wrong website. It happened to us: for Oriana Solutions, ChatGPT showed the logo of a Florida firm, photos of namesakes for our co-founders and an old price that had been withdrawn. Our monthly tracking spots these errors and fixes them at the source.
Entity confusion
Another company has a name close to yours and the AI merges the two profiles. Fix: legal name, logo, address and founders declared in structured data, then the same information on LinkedIn, Crunchbase, The Org and your Google listing.
Outdated price or offer
The AI quotes an old page or an old rate. Fix: a 301 redirect served by the server, reindexing requested from Bing and Google, an up-to-date price list in structured data.
Wrong link or wrong client
The AI attributes a project to the wrong company or points to an unrelated site. Fix: clients named in full, a link to their site in the case study, a backlink requested from their site.
We apply what we recommend, on our own site.
Most agencies talk about GEO without proof. We code our own sites with the structured data, server-side rendering and agentic navigation we recommend to clients, and we measure the result: close to a quarter of our inbound leads tell us an AI referred them. An agency that builds software understands GEO from the inside.
Marketing agency, GEO specialist or a development agency that does GEO?
Three ways to approach AI visibility, three different results.
| Classic marketing agency | GEO specialist | Oriana (development agency) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical fixes (schema, rendering, crawlers) | Recommendations sent to your developer | Recommendations, sometimes fixes | Coded directly into your site, by us |
| Measurement in AI engines | Rarely, or by hand | Third-party tools, often expensive | GEO Monitor: 10 questions, 4 engines, your competitors, every month |
| Misinformation about your brand | Not tracked | Sometimes flagged | Spotted and fixed at the source every month |
| Price | On quote | Audit $1,500 to $5,000, monthly $1,000 to $5,000 | Audit $750, then $2,500 per month, SEO and GEO included |
| Who does the work | Marketing team | Consultants | The three co-founders, no subcontracting |
Price ranges for other agencies come from their public pages consulted in October 2026; they may change.
An audit, then the package of your choice. GEO is included in each.

The details of each package, the audit's value and the guarantee are on the Digital Visibility page.
Based in Montreal. Clients across Québec.
GEO is played in French and in English: a Montreal business is searched in both languages, and AI engines answer differently in each. We test both, for Montreal and for every city you serve.
« Since we optimized our own site for GEO, several clients have told us they were referred by ChatGPT. That's now close to 25% of our inbound leads. »
Why work with us?
In 2025, our team won first place nationally at the OSEntreprendre challenge, the largest entrepreneurship competition in Québec. We designed and delivered a mobile application from scratch, up against the best teams in the province. If we can win at a national scale, we can deliver your project.
Frequently asked questions
A GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) agency makes sure a business is understood, cited and recommended by AI engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews. In practice: making the site readable by their crawlers, structuring content for citation, building reliable external mentions and measuring results.
No, it complements it. AI engines rely largely on the same signals as Google (clear content, authority, technical structure) and, for ChatGPT, on Bing's index. A well-ranked site starts with a head start; GEO adds what AI engines look at on top: structured data, direct answers and what other sites say about you.
The visibility audit is $750. Then one subscription at $2,500 per month, paid monthly, with a 12-month commitment. GEO is included, with SEO and the GEO Monitor dashboard.
The first citations can appear within weeks when the site was blocked or unreadable for crawlers. For solid, stable gains, allow three to six months, as with SEO: external mentions and authority take time.
With GEO Monitor: every month, ten questions your clients ask are submitted to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode in a fresh session. We record whether you are cited, which competitors are, how you are described and what is wrong. You get the share of voice, the six gaps and the action plan.
No, and nobody can: each AI picks its sources and its answers vary. We guarantee the work and the measurement: if, after six months of fully executing the plan, no measurable improvement appears (traffic, rankings or AI mentions), we keep optimizing at no extra cost.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews, and Copilot. The technical work (allowed crawlers, rendering, structured data) benefits all of them; the monthly tracking covers the four engines most used in Québec.
Yes. Since advertising opened in ChatGPT, we prepare and manage those campaigns alongside organic GEO: being cited for free and buying a placement are two ways to occupy the answer when your client asks their question.
Because half of GEO is technical: allowed crawlers, server-side rendering, structured data, marked-up FAQs, agentic navigation. A marketing agency sends a list of fixes to your developer; we code them. And since we build our own tools, including GEO Monitor, we understand what AI engines actually read.
