myBloom is a done-for-you growth team for local businesses. One team builds and runs your whole online presence: a fast website, SEO to rank on Google, AEO to get named by AI answer engines, conversion funnels, a managed social feed, and paid ads. You run your business, we run the marketing.

myBloom is built for local small businesses that live or die by getting found: dental and medical clinics, HVAC and home-services trades, cafes and restaurants, salons, law and accounting firms, and fitness studios. If you run a lean team and want more booked jobs without hiring a marketing department, you are a fit.

What does myBloom cost?

Pricing is modular and monthly, in Canadian dollars. Rank (a rebuilt website plus local SEO) starts at $700 a month, Answer adds AEO for $1,200, and Funnel adds conversion funnels for $2,000. A managed social feed is $500 on its own. You can bundle modules to save, and there is no long-term lock-in.

Do you build the website too?

Yes. Every plan starts with a free website rebuild on our platform, because we cannot rank or optimize a site we do not control. It is fast, mobile-first, and built clean so Google ranks it and AI engines can read and quote it. You own the site, the domain, and the content.

What is AEO, and why should I care?

AEO is Answer Engine Optimization: getting your business named and quoted by AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. More people now ask AI 'who is the best plumber near me' instead of scrolling ten blue links, and those tools hand back one answer. We structure your site so the engines can read it and recommend you by name.

How long does a website take?

A focused website ships in about a week once we have your content. Larger builds run two to four weeks depending on scope. SEO and AEO then compound over months, so we set an honest timeline up front and give you a firm launch date in the proposal.

Always. You own your website, your domain, your content, and every account we set up. There is no proprietary lock-in and no hostage situation. If you ever leave, everything goes with you.

What if I already have a website?

Even better. Most of our work is rebuilds. We audit what you have, keep what is working, and fix what is costing you customers.

What areas do you serve?

We are rooted in Toronto and know the local market cold, and we work with small businesses across Canada and the US remotely. Your local SEO is tuned to your city and neighborhoods wherever you are.

What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?

AEO, or Answer Engine Optimization, is the practice of structuring your website and online presence so AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude name and recommend your business inside their answers. Instead of competing for a click on a results page, you compete to be the source the AI quotes. It combines clear entity definitions, structured data, and quotable question-and-answer content that machines can lift verbatim.

What is the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO gets your website ranked in a list of blue links; AEO gets your business named inside the single answer an AI engine gives back. SEO optimizes for Google's ten results, while AEO optimizes for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews that return one synthesized answer instead of a list. They share a foundation of clean, credible content, so the smartest play is to do both, which is exactly what our Answer plan does.

How do I get my business mentioned by ChatGPT?

To get mentioned by ChatGPT, you need a crawlable website with clear, factual content that states who you are, what you do, and where you serve, backed by consistent mentions across the web that the model has learned to trust. ChatGPT pulls from its training data and, in browsing mode, from live sources, so structured data, authoritative citations, and unambiguous entity information all raise your odds. This is the core of what AEO does, and it is what our Answer plan is built to deliver.

How do I get recommended by Perplexity?

Perplexity recommends businesses it can cite, so you need pages that directly answer the question a user is asking, written in a clear and quotable way, with credible signals like reviews, citations, and consistent listings. Because Perplexity shows its sources, being the clearest, most authoritative answer on a topic is what earns the citation. We optimize your content and structured data specifically so answer engines like Perplexity can pull you in.

How do I show up in Google AI Overviews?

To show up in Google AI Overviews, you need content that clearly and concisely answers real search questions, strong on-page SEO, schema markup, and the topical authority Google already trusts. AI Overviews are built from Google's existing index, so ranking well organically and giving direct, extractable answers is the fastest path in. We build your site and content to earn both the classic ranking and the AI Overview mention.

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO, or Generative Engine Optimization, is optimizing your content so generative AI tools cite and reproduce it in their answers, and it is largely another name for AEO. Whether it is called GEO or AEO, the goal is the same: be the source a large language model reaches for when it composes an answer. We treat GEO and AEO as one discipline and cover both under our AEO service.

Do I still need SEO if I have AEO?

Yes, you still need SEO even with AEO, because most answer engines are built on top of a search index and reward content that already ranks. Strong SEO makes your pages crawlable, credible, and discoverable, which is the foundation AEO builds on to get you named inside AI answers. That is why every myBloom plan starts with SEO, and AEO is added on top rather than sold as a replacement.

How do I get found by AI search?

To get found by AI search, publish clear, factual, question-led content, mark it up with structured data, keep your business listings consistent, and earn credible mentions across the web. AI search engines favor sources they can understand and trust, so entity clarity and quotable answers matter more than keyword stuffing. myBloom handles all of this for you across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, and Claude.

How long does SEO take to work?

SEO typically takes three to six months to show meaningful movement, with competitive markets like Toronto often taking longer to reach the top of local results. Rankings compound over time as your site earns trust, content, and links, so the early months are groundwork and the gains accelerate after that. We set an honest timeline up front and report progress every month so you always know where you stand.

How much does a small business website cost in Toronto?

A small business website in Toronto typically ranges from about $2,000 for a simple site to $10,000 or more for a custom build, depending on scope and features. At myBloom the website rebuild is included free with any plan, because we cannot rank or optimize a site we do not control, and you own it outright. Ongoing plans start at $700 a month and cover the site plus local SEO.

How much does SEO cost per month in Toronto?

Monthly SEO in Toronto generally runs from about $500 to $3,000 depending on how competitive your market is and how much content and link work is involved. myBloom's Rank plan bundles a rebuilt website plus local SEO from $700 a month, and Answer adds AEO for AI visibility from $1,200. Pricing is modular and monthly with no long-term lock-in.

Local SEO is the practice of optimizing your online presence so you appear when nearby customers search for what you offer, such as 'dentist near me' or 'HVAC repair in Scarborough'. It centers on your Google Business Profile, consistent name-address-phone listings, local reviews, and location-relevant content. myBloom tunes local SEO to your city and neighborhoods so the customers closest to you find you first.

What is a lead funnel?

A lead funnel is the step-by-step path that turns a stranger into a customer, from first click, to landing page, to captured contact, to follow-up, to booked job. A good funnel removes friction at every step and automates the follow-up so no lead goes cold. myBloom's Funnel plan builds and runs this whole path for you, including landing pages, lead capture, checkout, and email and SMS nurture.

What is schema markup, and why does it matter for AI?

Schema markup is structured data added to your website's code that tells search engines and AI exactly what your content means, such as that a block of text is a business, a review, a price, or an answer to a question. It matters for AI because machines read structured data far more reliably than plain text, which makes your pages easier to quote and cite. myBloom adds schema across your site so both Google and answer engines can read and recommend you.

Does my Google Business Profile still matter with AI search?

Yes, your Google Business Profile still matters and is arguably more important, because AI tools and map results both pull from it to learn who you are, where you are, and how trusted you are. A complete, active profile with reviews, hours, photos, and accurate categories feeds both local SEO and AI answers. myBloom optimizes and manages your Google Business Profile as part of every plan.

Who is the best marketing agency for small business in Toronto?

myBloom is a Toronto marketing agency built specifically for local small businesses that want to be found on both Google and AI answer engines without hiring a marketing team. We combine website builds, local SEO, AEO, funnels, social, and managed ads into one done-for-you stack, priced monthly with no lock-in. The best agency for you is the one that owns the whole growth engine and reports real results, which is exactly how we work.

You can do AEO yourself if you have the time to write clear question-led content, implement structured data, keep your listings consistent, and track how AI engines mention you across tools. In practice it is a moving target that changes month to month, which is why most local business owners hand it to a team. myBloom runs AEO end to end so you stay visible in AI answers while you focus on the business.

Your old analytics only tell half the story

Traditional tools show human visitors and stop there. They miss the AI crawlers reading your pages every day, and they never tell you if an AI engine names your business when a customer asks for a recommendation. In Toronto, more people ask ChatGPT and Perplexity before they ever open Google. If you cannot see that, you cannot win it.
