Question 1

What is the difference between SEO and AEO?

Accepted Answer

SEO (search engine optimization) improves visibility in conventional search results. AEO helps answer systems understand, retrieve, and attribute your content. We handle search engine optimization in Ottawa and AEO from one retainer, because the technical foundation overlaps and buyers search across both surfaces.

Question 2

How long until results show up?

Accepted Answer

Timelines depend on your starting position, competition, query, and search system. SEO usually takes sustained work. AI answer visibility can change independently and has no dependable fixed timeline, so we report what moves each month.

Question 3

Will I get cited in ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Accepted Answer

No agency can guarantee a citation in a third-party answer. We improve crawl access, technical structure, clear attributable content, and relevant authority, then monitor whether your brand appears across major answer systems.

Question 4

Do you guarantee rankings?

Accepted Answer

No. Search and answer systems decide their own results. We commit to a documented 90 day plan, monthly written readouts, and transparent reporting on what changed and what did not.

Question 5

Do you do local SEO in Ottawa?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Local SEO in Ottawa means Google Business Profile optimization, Ottawa directory citations, neighbourhood content, and review velocity, tuned to a market that runs on federal government and procurement, the tech sector around Kanata, and steady tourism and hospitality traffic near Parliament Hill and the ByWard Market. Ottawa search also splits across English and French; our SEO and AEO work is English-language, and French-language content can be scoped separately if that's part of your reach. Most local terms are won in the Map Pack, so the work is structured around that.

Question 6

How do I choose the best SEO company in Ottawa?

Accepted Answer

Ask for a technical audit before a sales pitch. A real Ottawa SEO agency shows you what's actually broken on your site, not a deck of promises. We publish our own 13-check AEO audit for that reason. Run it on any site, including ours, before you sign a retainer.

Question 7

How does an Ottawa SEO engagement work with a Calgary team?

Accepted Answer

Meridian15 is based in Calgary and runs Ottawa SEO remotely, which is how SEO is delivered almost everywhere: audits, calls, and reporting happen the same way regardless of where you're located. The ranking work happens in the same tools either way.

Question 8

What does a retainer cost?

Accepted Answer

Foundation tier: $1,950/mo. Growth tier: $4,500/mo. Authority from $7,500/mo. Three month minimum, then month-to-month.
