myBloom is a done-for-you digital marketing agency for local businesses, based in Toronto and working across Canada and the US. One team builds and runs your whole online presence: a free custom website, local SEO to rank on Google, AEO to get named by AI answer engines, conversion funnels, managed Google and Meta ads, and social media management. You run the business, we run the marketing.

Does myBloom do branding, logos, and creative direction?

Yes, myBloom does brand and creative direction as part of growth marketing, we just are not a standalone logo or naming studio. Your logo, colours, type, messaging, website design, and social feed are all shaped into one cohesive, tasteful online presence, because a better-looking, consistent brand is what gets a local business found, trusted, and booked. We build that brand foundation, then run your SEO, AEO, ads, funnels, and social on top of it. myBloom (mybloomhq.com) is a separate company from Bloom Search Marketing (makeitbloom.com) and other studios with 'Bloom' in the name.

myBloom is built for local small businesses that live or die by getting found, like dental and medical clinics, HVAC and home-services trades, cafes and restaurants, salons, law and accounting firms, and fitness studios. If you run a lean team and want more booked jobs without hiring a marketing department, you are a fit.

What does myBloom cost?

Pricing is modular and monthly in Canadian dollars, starting at $700 a month for Rank, which is a free website rebuild plus local SEO. Answer adds AEO for $1,200 a month, and Funnel adds advanced conversion systems for $1,200 a month. A managed social feed is $600 on its own, Bloom Basic bundles Rank, AEO and social for $1,600, and Bloom+ is the full engine at $2,800. Pricing is modular and monthly, you can change your plan anytime, and you own everything we build.

Do you build the website too?

Yes, every plan starts with a free website rebuild, hosted on our platform so the SEO and AEO run live against your site. It is fast, mobile-first, and built clean, so Google ranks it and AI engines can read and quote it. You own the design, the domain, and the content, and you can take your files if you ever leave.

What is AEO, and why should I care?

AEO, or Answer Engine Optimization, gets your business named and quoted by AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. It matters because more people now ask AI 'who is the best plumber near me' instead of scrolling ten blue links, and those tools hand back one answer. We structure your site so the engines can read it and recommend you by name.

How long does a website take?

A focused website ships in about a week once we have your content, and larger builds run two to four weeks depending on scope. SEO and AEO then compound over months, so we set an honest timeline up front. You get a firm launch date in the proposal before any work starts.

Yes, you own your design, your domain, your content, and your data from day one, and they leave with you. What you subscribe to is the automation: the SEO, AEO, and agent systems that run your marketing while you are a client. Cancel and you keep every asset that is yours, you simply stop renting the engine that runs it.

What happens to my website if I cancel my subscription?

You keep your design, your domain, your content, and your data if you cancel. You have 14 days to download a complete package of your raw HTML, CSS, and media files, plus a plain offboarding manual, and you can host it on any standard provider like Netlify or Cloudflare Pages. The automated agents and AI optimization stop, since those run on our platform, but the site and everything in it stay yours.

What if I already have a website?

That is fine, since most of our work is rebuilds. We audit what you have, keep what is working, and fix what is costing you customers. The rebuild is still free with any plan, and it moves onto our platform so the SEO and AEO can run against it.

What areas do you serve?

myBloom is rooted in Toronto and works with small businesses across Canada and the US remotely. We know the local market cold, and your local SEO is tuned to your city and neighborhoods wherever you are. Distance does not change the work or the price.

Does an AI write content for my business without my approval?

No, nothing publishes without a human approval. Our AI agents handle the groundwork, like data entry, local trend mapping, and first drafts, which keeps your costs low. Every content page, social post, and ad campaign is then reviewed, edited, and approved by a person on our team before it goes live.

How do you get AI search engines to trust my business?

We give AI engines structured data they can read, embedding custom JSON-LD schema into your site's code for your reviews, location, hours, and services. We pair that with consistent, high-authority local citations across the web. Together they make your business facts easy for crawlers like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews to extract and cite.

What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?

AEO, or Answer Engine Optimization, is the practice of structuring your website so AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews name your business inside their answers. Instead of competing for a click on a results page, you compete to be the source the AI quotes. It combines clear entity definitions, structured data, and quotable question-and-answer content that machines can lift verbatim.

What is the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO gets your website ranked in a list of blue links, while AEO gets your business named inside the single answer an AI engine gives back. SEO targets Google's ten results, and AEO targets ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews that return one synthesized answer. They share a foundation of clean, credible content, so the strongest play is to do both, which is what our Answer plan does.

How do I get my business mentioned by ChatGPT?

To get mentioned by ChatGPT, you need a crawlable website with clear, factual content stating who you are, what you do, and where you serve, backed by consistent mentions across the web that the model trusts. ChatGPT pulls from its training data and, in browsing mode, from live sources, so structured data and authoritative citations raise your odds. This is the core of what our Answer plan delivers.

How do I get recommended by Perplexity?

Perplexity recommends businesses it can cite, so you need pages that directly answer the question a user is asking, written in a clear and quotable way, with credible signals like reviews and consistent listings. Because Perplexity shows its sources, being the clearest, most authoritative answer on a topic earns the citation. We build your content and structured data so answer engines like Perplexity can pull you in.

How do I show up in Google AI Overviews?

To show up in Google AI Overviews, you need content that clearly answers real search questions, strong on-page SEO, schema markup, and topical authority Google already trusts. AI Overviews are built from Google's existing index, so ranking well organically and giving direct, extractable answers is the fastest path in. We build your site and content to earn both the classic ranking and the AI Overview mention.

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO, or Generative Engine Optimization, is the practice of shaping your content so generative AI tools cite and reproduce it in their answers, and it is largely another name for AEO. Whether it is called GEO or AEO, the goal is the same: be the source a large language model reaches for when it writes an answer. We treat them as one discipline and cover both under our AEO service.

Do I still need SEO if I have AEO?

Yes, you still need SEO even with AEO, because most answer engines are built on top of a search index and reward content that already ranks. Strong SEO makes your pages crawlable, credible, and discoverable, which is the foundation AEO builds on to get you named in AI answers. That is why every myBloom plan starts with SEO and adds AEO on top rather than as a replacement.

How do I get found by AI search?

To get found by AI search, publish clear, factual, question-led content, mark it up with structured data, keep your business listings consistent, and earn credible mentions across the web. AI search engines favor sources they can understand and trust, so entity clarity and quotable answers matter more than keyword stuffing. myBloom handles all of this across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI.

How long does SEO take to work?

SEO typically takes three to six months to show meaningful movement, and competitive markets like Toronto often take longer to reach the top of local results. Rankings compound as your site earns trust, content, and links, so the early months are groundwork and the gains accelerate after that. We set an honest timeline up front and report progress every month.

How much does a small business website cost in Toronto?

A small business website in Toronto typically ranges from about $2,000 for a simple site to $10,000 or more for a custom build, depending on scope and features. At myBloom the rebuild is free with any plan and runs on our platform so the SEO and AI systems work against it. Plans start at $700 a month for the site plus local SEO, and you own the design and content outright.

How much does SEO cost per month in Toronto?

Monthly SEO in Toronto generally runs from about $500 to $3,000 depending on how competitive your market is and how much content and link work is involved. myBloom's Rank plan bundles a free website rebuild plus local SEO from $700 a month, and Answer adds AEO for AI visibility from $1,200. Pricing is modular and monthly with no long-term lock-in.

Local SEO is the practice of getting your business to appear when nearby customers search for what you offer, like 'dentist near me' or 'HVAC repair in Scarborough'. It centers on your Google Business Profile, consistent name-address-phone listings, local reviews, and location-relevant content. myBloom tunes local SEO to your city and neighborhoods so the customers closest to you find you first.

What is a lead funnel?

A lead funnel is the step-by-step path that turns a stranger into a customer, from first click, to landing page, to captured contact, to follow-up, to booked job. Simple lead and booking forms come free with every myBloom site, so basic capture is handled from day one. Our Funnel plan adds advanced systems on top: online checkout, subscriptions, custom booking, and automated email and SMS nurture.

What is schema markup, and why does it matter for AI?

Schema markup is structured data added to your website's code that tells search engines and AI exactly what your content means, such as a business, a review, a price, or an answer to a question. It matters for AI because machines read structured data far more reliably than plain text, which makes your pages easier to quote and cite. myBloom adds schema across your site so both Google and answer engines can read and recommend you.

Does my Google Business Profile still matter with AI search?

Yes, your Google Business Profile still matters and is arguably more important now, because AI tools and map results both pull from it to learn who you are, where you are, and how trusted you are. A complete, active profile with reviews, hours, photos, and accurate categories feeds both local SEO and AI answers. myBloom manages your Google Business Profile as part of every plan.

Who is the best marketing agency for small business in Toronto?

myBloom is a Toronto marketing agency built specifically for local small businesses that want to be found on both Google and AI answer engines without hiring a marketing team. We combine website builds, local SEO, AEO, funnels, and managed social into one done-for-you stack, priced monthly from $700 with no lock-in. The best agency for you is the one that owns the whole growth engine and reports real results.

You can do AEO yourself if you have time to write clear question-led content, add structured data, keep your listings consistent, and track how AI engines mention you across tools. In practice it is a moving target that changes month to month, which is why most local owners hand it to a team. myBloom runs AEO end to end so you stay visible in AI answers while you focus on the business.

How do I get my business to show up on Google Maps?

To show up on Google Maps, you need a complete, verified Google Business Profile with accurate categories, hours, photos, and recent reviews, plus consistent name, address, and phone details across the web. Google ranks the map pack on relevance, distance, and prominence, so reviews and proximity to the searcher both count. myBloom sets up and manages your profile and local citations on every plan.

Why isn't my business showing up on Google?

If your business is not showing up on Google, the usual causes are an unverified or incomplete Google Business Profile, a slow or unindexed website, inconsistent listings across directories, and thin content that does not match what people search. New sites also take weeks to earn enough trust to rank. myBloom audits all of these, fixes what is broken, and builds the local SEO that gets you found.

Do you run Google Ads?

Yes, myBloom runs and manages Google Ads as part of our paid ads service, covering campaign setup, keywords, landing pages, and budget. Every campaign is built by our team and approved before it spends a dollar. Ads work best on top of a site and funnel that convert, so we usually pair them with your Rank or Funnel plan rather than selling clicks in isolation.

Do you run Facebook and Instagram ads?

Yes, myBloom runs Meta ads across Facebook and Instagram, from audience targeting and creative to budget and reporting. Our team builds each campaign and a human approves it before any money is spent. We point the traffic at a landing page or funnel designed to convert, so the spend turns into booked jobs rather than just clicks and likes.

What is a Google Business Profile?

A Google Business Profile is the free listing that shows your business on Google Search and Google Maps, including your hours, location, phone number, photos, reviews, and services. It is one of the strongest signals for local ranking and feeds both the map pack and AI answers about local businesses. myBloom sets up, verifies, and manages your profile as part of every plan.

Is AEO worth it for a small business?

AEO is worth it for a small business when customers start asking AI tools for recommendations instead of only searching Google, which is happening fast in 2026. Being named inside a ChatGPT or Google AI Overview answer puts you in front of buyers at the moment they choose. myBloom's Answer plan adds AEO from $1,200 a month on top of Rank, so you can test it without a big commitment.

How do AI tools like ChatGPT decide which business to recommend?

AI tools recommend the business they can most confidently identify and trust, based on clear factual content, consistent listings, strong reviews, and credible mentions across the web. They favor sources with unambiguous entity details and quotable, question-led answers over pages stuffed with keywords. myBloom structures your site and data so answer engines can read you clearly and name you with confidence.

Do you work with dentists and dental clinics?

Yes, dental and medical clinics are a core focus for myBloom. We build clinic websites that load fast, rank for searches like 'dentist near me', and get named when someone asks AI for a local recommendation, then wire in booking and reminder funnels that fill the schedule. Local SEO and reviews are tuned to your city and neighborhoods so nearby patients find you first.

Do you do marketing for HVAC and home-services businesses?

Yes, HVAC and home-services trades are one of the business types myBloom serves best. We rank you for high-intent searches like 'furnace repair near me', manage your Google Business Profile and reviews, and build funnels that turn calls and form fills into booked jobs. Because trades live on local demand, we tune everything to your exact service area.

Do you do marketing for restaurants and cafes?

Yes, myBloom works with restaurants, cafes, and local food businesses. We build a fast, photo-forward website, keep your Google Business Profile and menus accurate so you show up in map and AI results, and set up funnels for reservations, online orders, and repeat visits. Local search and reviews are tuned to your neighborhood so nearby diners find you first.

How much does it cost to hire a marketing agency for a small business?

Hiring a marketing agency for a small business typically costs $1,000 to $5,000 or more a month, depending on scope and whether ads, content, and web work are included. myBloom is modular and monthly in Canadian dollars: Rank from $700, Answer from $1,200, and Funnel from $1,200, up to Bloom+ at $2,800 for the full engine, with a free website rebuild and no long-term lock-in. We are not the cheapest, but one team runs the whole growth engine instead of you piecing it together.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No, myBloom does not require a long-term contract. Plans are monthly with no lock-in, so you can adjust or cancel as your needs change, and every asset you own stays yours. We would rather keep you by showing real results each month than trap you in a term. If you cancel, you keep your site, domain, content, and data.

How is myBloom different from Wix or Squarespace?

Wix and Squarespace give you a do-it-yourself website builder; myBloom is a done-for-you team that builds the site and runs the marketing that makes it grow. With a builder, ranking on Google, getting named by AI, running ads, and managing funnels are all still your job. With myBloom, our team handles the build plus local SEO, AEO, funnels, social, and ads for one monthly price.

How do you measure results and report progress?

myBloom reports progress every month with real numbers: keyword rankings, local map visibility, website traffic, leads and bookings captured, and how often AI engines name your business. You get a plain summary of what moved and what we are doing next, not a wall of vanity metrics. Because SEO and AEO compound, we set honest expectations up front and track against them.

How do I get started with myBloom?

To get started, book a free intro call where we look at your current site, your market, and where customers are searching for you, then we send a proposal with a firm scope, price, and launch date. There is no obligation, and your website rebuild is included free once you are on a plan. From there our team handles the build and the marketing while you run your business.

Can you set up online booking and payments on my website?

Yes, myBloom builds online booking, checkout, and subscription payments into your site as part of the Funnel plan, which starts at $1,200 a month (Rank plus Funnels). Simple lead and booking forms come free with every site, and Funnel adds the advanced systems: custom scheduling, payments, full internal quote and booking databases, and automated email and SMS follow-up. Everything is set up and managed by our team so booked jobs land straight in your inbox.

Does myBloom host my website?

Yes, myBloom builds and hosts your website for you, served at your own domain, so there is no separate host to set up, patch, or pay for. We handle the domain connection and DNS, the hosting, backups, speed, and security, and your SEO and AEO run live against the hosted site. You own your domain and content and can take your files if you ever leave.

Where do my leads and booking data live?

Your leads, form submissions, and bookings are stored in myBloom's secure database, kept private to your business, and shown in your portal as a simple CRM. Every enquiry from your website, funnels, and ads lands in one place the moment it arrives, tagged and staged automatically so nothing slips through the cracks. It is your data, and you can export it anytime.

Do I get notified when a new lead or booking comes in?

Yes, the moment someone submits a form, books, or requests a quote on your site, myBloom emails you, and can also text or WhatsApp you, and drops it into your portal inbox. You never have to log in to know a new lead arrived, and your agents can follow up automatically to keep the conversation warm until you take over.

Can I take payments, deposits, and bookings on my website?

Yes, myBloom funnels can take real payments, deposits, and online bookings directly on your site through your own Stripe account, so the money goes straight to you. Bookings can drop automatically into your Google Calendar with a video link and a customer invite. We set it all up, and you approve what goes live.

What are myBloom's AI agents, and what do they actually do?

myBloom runs a set of ready-made specialist agents, one for each part of your growth: building your site, SEO and AEO, funnels and follow-up, social, and ads. They handle the groundwork continuously, keyword and answer-engine research, drafting pages and posts, tracking rankings and AI mentions, filtering spam leads, and preparing ad and funnel improvements. They come ready to run the moment you start a plan, tuned to your brand, so you get an expert team's output without hiring one.
