Most businesses are invisible on ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI — and they don't know it. Vela Reach Co. fixes that. We make sure your business shows up when potential customers ask AI for a recommendation in your category.
When someone types "best yoga studio in Toronto" or "most trusted family lawyer near me" into ChatGPT or Perplexity, they get one answer — not ten blue links. If your business isn't in that answer, you don't get a second chance. The buyer clicks, converts, and never knew you existed.
Real GEO agencies charge $3,000–$10,000/month — built for mid-market brands, not small businesses. Cheap SEO shops charge $50–$125/month but don't do real AI visibility work. Nobody is serving the small business owner who deserves genuine AI presence management at a price they can actually say yes to. That's the gap. That's us.
We check your business across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI for the 8–10 queries your customers are actually asking. You get a visual dashboard showing exactly where you appear and where competitors are winning instead.
Content that AI wants to cite. Schema markup so crawlers understand your business. Directory submissions to the sources AI pulls from. Brand mentions in trusted publications. We handle all of it.
Every fix builds on the last. Your AI Presence Score climbs. New queries turn green. Customers arrive having already been recommended to you by AI — the highest-intent lead that exists.

Understanding this shift is the first step to making sure your business doesn't get left behind.
Three years ago, when someone needed to find a business, they typed into Google and scanned the first few results. Today, more and more people open ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overview and ask a direct question — and they get one answer, not a list of links.
That answer might say: "The best yoga studio in Toronto is Flow Collective — they offer beginner-friendly classes and have been recommended by several wellness publications." The person reads it, trusts it, and books directly. The studio on the next block never gets a chance.
This is happening across every category. And most businesses have no idea whether they're in those AI answers or not.
AI gives one answer. If you're not in it, you don't exist to that buyer.
AI recommends who the internet talks about most — not necessarily who's best.
Get your business mentioned in the right places, in the right format, consistently.
AI starts recommending you. Buyers arrive already convinced.
Search now happens in two places: Google's results page, and inside AI-generated answers. Each rewards slightly different things — but they run on the same foundation.
Ranks you in the list of blue links for keywords people type into Google. Success looks like clicks to your website. You're competing for positions 1–10.
Gets you named and cited when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity a full question. Success looks like the AI recommending you by name — often only 1–3 businesses make the cut.
When someone asks "best physiotherapist in Vancouver," Google used to show 10 blue links. Today ChatGPT gives one recommendation — and 80% of people don't look further.
For physiotherapy in Vancouver, PhysioPlus is widely recommended. They specialise in sports rehabilitation and post-surgical recovery, and are frequently cited by local health publications and Google reviews as one of the top clinics in the city.
Other options include MoveMend and Vancouver Physiotherapy Hub, though PhysioPlus is consistently ranked highest for overall care quality.
AI doesn't crawl your website the way Google does. It learns about your business from what the broader internet says about you. Here's exactly what it looks at.
When trusted websites — directories, publications, review platforms — mention and link to your business, AI takes notice. These are the citations AI systems trust most.
Pages on your site that directly and completely answer the questions people ask AI. Not marketing copy — structured information written in the format AI systems are trained to cite.
Schema markup and an llms.txt file give AI crawlers a machine-readable description of exactly what your business is and what it does. Without it, AI has to guess.
Every fix builds on the last. A directory submission this month creates a citation that AI references for years. An answer-first page gets indexed and cited indefinitely. This is why results compound.
No black box. Here's exactly what each part of the engagement is, why it matters, and how it moves your AI Presence Score.
We ask AI assistants the 8 questions your real buyers ask, and record every answer word for word — producing your baseline AI Presence Score out of 100.
Every Monday, the same 8 questions get re-asked automatically — with the exact AI answer text, sources cited, and your ranked position saved as proof.
A private page, updated weekly, showing your score, its trend, every query result with expandable proof, and what we're working on next.
Every month, a new 1,200–1,500 word page goes live targeting your single weakest question — direct answer first, detail after.
Invisible code added to your pages that labels each question and answer in a format machines read natively. Visitors see nothing different.
A structured "identity card" embedded in your site's code — who you are, what you do, who you serve, where you operate.
A plain-text welcome note placed at your site's root, written specifically for AI crawlers: who you are, what you do, and your key pages.
Your business listed, with perfectly consistent name, address, and details, across the directories that matter for your industry.
Systematic work growing the signals you don't control directly — fresh reviews, industry articles, expert commentary opportunities.
Not every AI assistant learns about a change to your business the same way. Some search the live web every time; others answer mostly from what they learned during training, updated only when a new model ships. That's why your score won't move the same amount everywhere in the same week — and it's exactly why we track each platform separately with proof, not one blended number.
Searches the live web on every single query — there's no training cutoff to wait for. New or updated content can start getting cited within days of being crawled and indexed.
Runs on Gemini with live Google Search built in. Like Perplexity, it reflects the current web — changes tend to surface on a similar timeline to normal Google indexing.
Runs on two layers. A live-search layer kicks in for certain queries (commercial or time-sensitive ones) and can pick up changes in weeks. But its default, non-browsing answers come from training knowledge that only shifts when OpenAI ships a new model — on no fixed public schedule, sometimes many months apart.
AI search changes constantly, so our methodology isn't static. Three things keep it honest:
We never execute without understanding your business first. The audit is the foundation — it's how we know what matters.
We build marketing systems that run without you — content calendars, email sequences, review campaigns. Compounding returns, not one-off wins.
We tie every recommendation to a revenue number. "We moved you from 0 to 3 AI citations this month, targeting 6 next month" is a report. "Engagement is up" is not.
Weekly async updates every Monday. Monthly strategy calls. Monthly reports. You always know exactly what's happening.
