Get found first — with smarter SEO and AI-powered local search
Most people don’t scroll past page one of Google. If your business isn’t there, you’re invisible. For small businesses in Ottawa, that often means losing customers to national chains or competitors who figured out search before you did.
That’s why SEO (search engine optimization) — and especially local SEO — is critical.
What SEO really is (plain English)
- Content → Helpful pages, blogs, and answers
- Speed & Mobile Design → Fast-loading, phone-friendly sites
- Links & Mentions → Trusted sites pointing back to you
- Images & Media → Optimized visuals with the right tags.
How AI changes SEO
Search is shifting fast. Tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity are already influencing how people get answers online. Instead of scrolling a list of links, customers are reading AI-generated overviews.
That means SEO now needs to be agentic — optimized not just for humans, but for AI engines that summarize and recommend.
Salient AI helps you:
- Structure content so AI can pull and credit it.
- Generate fresh blogs, FAQs, and product descriptions with AI. See: AI Blog & Email Drafts.

- Automate reporting, so you know what’s working. See: Reporting & Analytics.
Why local SEO matters in Ottawa
Most searches today are local: “restaurant near me,” “electrician Ottawa,” “best physiotherapist.” If you don’t show up in Google Maps or the local pack, customers won’t even know you exist.
Local SEO ensures:
- Your Google Business Profile is fully optimized.
- Your reviews and ratings boost visibility.
- You appear in local searches when people are ready to buy.
