ViewFAQ
What does an AEO agency actually do?
We make your business easier for AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity to understand and recommend. In practice, that means improving your site content, structure, and online presence. Much of it overlaps with good SEO, plus a technical layer specific to how AI reads and cites websites.
How is this different from SEO?
AEO builds on SEO rather than replacing it. The foundations are the same: strong content, clear site structure, real authority. Canonry adds the technical layer that helps AI tools specifically, including structured data, AI-readable content formats, and monitoring whether AI is actually recommending you.
Do you only work with NYC businesses?
No. We're based in New York, but we work with businesses anywhere. Location matters more for some industries than others. A local restaurant needs NYC credibility, while a SaaS company may not.
How do I know if AI is recommending my competitors but not me?
Try it yourself. Ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity who the best [your category] in New York is. If you're not in the answer, that's the gap we close. Our free audit gives you a more detailed technical baseline.
What's the first step?
Run the free audit. It takes a few seconds and shows you how AI-ready your site is today. From there, we can talk about what to fix first.
