Get found when buyers ask AI, not just Google.
When customers ask AI for a business like yours, is it recommending you or your competitor? Find out, then fix it.
32,800+ measured AI appearances in 3 months on a site I own: Copilot citations plus Google generative-AI impressions · public methodology · no retainer to start
AI visibility is how accurately and consistently your business appears when people ask Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Copilot to recommend a product or service. Hami Tahm is a Toronto-based AI visibility consultant who audits how those engines describe, cite and recommend Canadian businesses, then fixes the gaps.
Search is moving from links to answers.
When a homebuyer asks ChatGPT “best mortgage broker in Toronto,” it doesn’t show ten blue links; it names three. When a patient asks Perplexity “top dental clinic near me,” it cites two or three sources and moves on. Google’s AI Overviews now answer the query before the user ever scrolls. If you’re not one of the names, you’re invisible.

Proof: HomeCalc.ca, a site I own
HomeCalc.ca is a Toronto-based Canadian financial calculator site. I own it: this is an owned-property case study, not a client engagement, which is why the raw data can be published in full. It went from near-zero to 32,800+ AI appearances in 3 months, counted across two consoles: Bing Webmaster Tools' AI Performance report (Microsoft Copilot) for citations, and Google Search Console's Generative AI features report for impressions. The domain was under three months old when the audit began.
I identified a specific technical change that produced this lift. The methodology is part of what you receive in the audit.Read the full case study →
Why a Consultant, Not an Agency
Most AI visibility providers in Canada are agencies. You sign a retainer, meet an account manager, and your strategy is built by a team you may never speak to. That’s a different product.
Working with an individual consultant means the same person who reviews your data writes your action plan, runs the walkthrough call, and is reachable for follow-up questions. No handoffs, no retainer, public case study, public pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get my business to show up in ChatGPT?
Audit first, then fix the gaps. AI engines cite businesses with clear, consistent, well-structured information across the web. The audit shows what ChatGPT and the other platforms are missing about you, and what to change so you appear in their answers.
How do I get recommended by AI?
Being recommended means engines can tell what you do, for whom, and where, and find that description agreeing with itself across your site, your profiles, and third-party sources. There is no markup that buys this; Google says plainly that no special schema is required for generative AI search. The audit shows which of those signals are missing, wrong, or contradicting each other.
What is the difference between AI visibility and SEO?
They overlap more than the labels suggest. Google states that its AI features are rooted in its core Search ranking systems and that no special optimization is required for AI Overviews or AI Mode, so on Google's surfaces, this is largely SEO. Three things stay separate: the engines that don't use Google's index (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) and have their own crawlers and rules; whether what an answer says about you is accurate, which no ranking system addresses; and measurement, since most engines report nothing back to you.
Which AI platforms should my business be visible in?
The six that drive most AI-generated answers today are Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Bing Copilot, and Perplexity. Different platforms weight different signals; strategy is built per platform.
How do I check my AI visibility?
Start with an AI visibility audit. It reviews how your business appears across all six platforms and identifies what's missing, misrepresented, or invisible. Book an AI visibility audit for $1,500 CAD.
How much does AI visibility consulting cost?
Engagements start with a $1,500 CAD AI visibility audit: flat fee, one-time, no retainer to get started. If you want the findings turned into a prioritized action plan and roadmap for your team to ship, that starts at $4,500 (the audit fee is credited toward it). I don't take execution work; your developer or agency implements it. Optional monitoring and advisory is available afterward on a fixed 6–12 month term; never required.
