Why timing matters

The businesses AI recommends today are compounding a lead you'll have to buy back later.

AI models build durable associations. Once competitors become "the answer" for your category in Ottawa, displacing them takes months of authority-building — not a quick fix.

Citation improvements typically take 60–90 days to appear, so the decision you make this quarter shows up next quarter.

Adoption is early. Most Ottawa businesses aren't doing this yet, which is precisely the window.

Early isn't a marketing word here. It's a math word.

Common questions

Answer engine optimization, explained.

What is Answer Engine Optimization?

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of getting your business named inside AI-generated answers rather than only in a list of links. BlindSpot uses entities, schema and citations to make Ottawa businesses the answer that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews recommend.

How much does AEO cost in Ottawa?

AEO in Ottawa typically runs $1,000–$2,500 for an audit and $1,500–$6,000 per month for a retainer, depending on your industry. BlindSpot starts every engagement with a free automated visibility check so you see value first.

How does BlindSpot get businesses cited by ChatGPT?

BlindSpot restructures your content answer-first, deploys schema, cleans your entity data and builds citations on the third-party sources AI trusts. This is how it makes an Ottawa business the one ChatGPT names.

What's the difference between AEO and SEO?

SEO ranks a page in a list of links, while AEO gets your business quoted inside the AI answer itself. In Ottawa, BlindSpot treats AEO as the new layer above traditional SEO.
