dNOVO Group
dNOVO Group is a Toronto agency that describes itself as Toronto's top SEO and digital marketing agency, building integrated client acquisition systems for professional services businesses. Its practice is concentrated in legal, medical and home services marketing, and it lists two Toronto offices on its own site.
dNOVO publishes separate Toronto AEO and GEO optimization pages alongside a broader AI search optimization service, so the AI work is a real service line rather than a mention. Its Clutch profile shows 67 reviews at a 5.0 average, the highest review volume at that score among the Toronto firms checked.
You run a law firm, clinic or home services business and want a vertical specialist that already ranks clients in your niche.
- Two Toronto offices listed on its own site
- Dedicated AEO and GEO optimization pages plus a standalone AI search optimization page
- Clutch Premier Verified, with 67 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5
- Focused on legal, medical and home services verticals, so ecommerce or SaaS teams are likely a poor fit
- Clutch lists 10 to 49 employees spread across four cities, so senior capacity covers several markets
Search Engine People
Search Engine People is a Toronto digital marketing agency with its head office on Bloor Street East and a second location in Pickering, Ontario, describing itself as a Canadian digital marketing agency specialising in SEO and paid search. It runs a separate AI SEO practice with its own service pages for answer engine optimization, generative engine optimization and AI Overviews.
It has the most fully built out AI search practice of any Greater Toronto agency checked, with published AEO and GEO packages, a free AI visibility tool, and individual pages for ranking in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. Clutch lists it at 4.9 out of 5 across 56 reviews.
You want one established Toronto team running classic SEO, paid search and AI search visibility under a single retainer.
- Founded in 2001, with a Toronto head office and a second Ontario location in Pickering
- Separate published pages for AEO, GEO, AI Overviews and per-platform optimization
- Clutch profile lists 50 to 249 employees and Google Premier Partner status
- The service mix spans SEO, paid search, social, web and data, so it is not a pure AI search boutique
- Clutch lists a most common project size of 10,000 to 49,000 dollars, above a very small business budget
Major Tom
Major Tom is a full-service digital agency with offices in Toronto, Vancouver, New York and San Francisco. Its search practice is marketed directly as SEO, GEO and AEO, and the agency states it has been doing SEO for over 25 years.
Its primary search service page is titled SEO, GEO and AEO and explains answer engine and generative engine work in depth, covering schema, site structure, experience signals and AI-generated results. Clutch lists 4.9 out of 5 from 51 reviews and names Toronto as one of its two Canadian locations.
You are an enterprise or well-funded brand that wants AI search handled inside a broader strategy, creative and media engagement.
- Staffed Toronto office with its own local phone line and contact address, not just a city landing page
- Search page treats technical SEO, AEO and GEO as one integrated offering, with reporting adapted for AI results
- Clutch lists 50 to 249 employees and a 4.9 rating from 51 reviews
- Headquartered in Vancouver, so the Toronto office is one of four North American locations
- Clutch lists a 50,000 dollar minimum project size, which rules out small and mid-size budgets
Parachute Design
Parachute Design is a Toronto web design company on Dominion Road that has been building websites since 2003, focused on custom WordPress design and development, branding and print design. Alongside that it sells an AI search optimization service covering both GEO and AEO.
Its AI search page explicitly separates GEO, aimed at large language models such as ChatGPT and Claude, from AEO, aimed at Google AI Overviews and featured snippets, and it maintains a standalone SEO service page as well. Clutch lists it at 4.9 out of 5 from 34 reviews with Premier Verified status.
Your site needs a rebuild and you want AI search structure designed in during the redesign rather than retrofitted later.
- Founded in 2003 and operating from a fixed Toronto address
- Runs both a standalone SEO page and a dedicated GEO and AEO page, so search is a real service line
- Clutch Premier Verified with 34 reviews at 4.9 out of 5
- Clutch lists 2 to 9 employees, so it is a small studio and large ongoing retainers may be limited in scale
- Design and development make up the bulk of its Clutch service mix, with SEO a smaller share
Jumpfactor Marketing
Jumpfactor Marketing is a B2B digital agency on Duncan Mill Road in North York, Toronto, working exclusively with managed service providers, IT firms and cybersecurity companies. It sells a combined AEO, GEO and LLM optimization service alongside SEO, paid search, content and marketing automation.
It is one of the few Greater Toronto agencies with a named AEO, GEO and LLM optimization service line rather than an AI add-on, and its about page states a team of over 105 full-time staff and eight national growth awards.
You are a managed service provider, IT services or cybersecurity firm and want an agency that already understands your buyer.
- Toronto area office with Clutch listing Toronto as headquarters and a 2009 founding year
- Dedicated AEO, GEO and LLM optimization service page separate from its SEO page
- About page states over 105 full-time staff across North America, India and the Philippines
- Works only with managed IT, technology and cybersecurity clients, so it is not an option outside that niche
- Its 5.0 Clutch rating rests on only 4 reviews, a small sample compared with others here
SEOLogist
SEOLogist is a search-focused agency with a Toronto office on Finch Avenue West and a second office in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. Its own company history page states the firm was established in 2003 and was recently acquired.
It publishes a complete AI SEO section with separate pages for generative engine optimization, answer engine optimization, AI Overviews optimization and per-platform work for ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, sitting on top of roughly forty traditional SEO service pages.
You want a search-only shop with deep technical and enterprise SEO coverage plus a fully mapped out AI search offering.
- Separate published pages for GEO, AEO and AI Overviews rather than one catch-all AI page
- Toronto office listed at a fixed Finch Avenue West address
- Company history page states continuous operation since 2003
- Its own page describes a team of over ten professionals, smaller than the larger Toronto agencies
- No Clutch or GoodFirms profile was found, so third-party review volume is harder to verify
How we ranked these agencies
- How central answer-engine work is to the practice, not a bolt-on service line
- Third-party review score on Clutch, GoodFirms or G2 where published
- Named services and a clear, public description of the offer
- Company longevity and team size
- Fit for enterprise versus small and mid-size brands
- Pricing transparency
- Evidence of real, named client work
Every agency listed is real and operating. Founding years, ratings and services come from the agency website or a third-party review platform, verified 2026-09-17. Where a figure is not published, the page says so rather than estimating.
Why work with a AEO agency in Toronto
Toronto has the deepest AI search coverage of any city in this directory. All six agencies below publish both a generative engine page and an answer engine page on their own sites, which no other market matched.
Vertical specialists are common here. Two of the six work only with specific industries, legal and medical in one case, managed IT services in the other, which is worth knowing before you shortlist.
Published minimums run from 1,000 dollars to 50,000 dollars per project, with most common engagements in the 10,000 to 49,000 dollar range.
