Done for you · fixed monthly fee · Canada
The AI Citation Program, explained end to end
This is the full detail behind our flagship service: what we run every month, what is included at each level of coverage, how it differs from a classic SEO retainer, and the evidence we use to prove your company is being named across 6 major AI engines.
What we run, month after month
Measure what AI says about you today
We build a 40–80 prompt set from your real buyer questions and pull answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity. Every result is dated and logged, so day one has a number attached to it.
Fix the entity the engines read
One canonical entity page, Organization schema with sameAs to every claimed profile, consistent Canadian NAP facts, and llms.txt pointing crawlers at the pages worth quoting.
Publish the answers, done for you
We write and ship the pages that answer your buyers' questions in the first 60 words, with FAQPage and Service schema built to be quoted. You approve; we publish.
Build the third-party sources
AI engines cite the open web, not just your site. Directories, review platforms, comparison content, and community answers get built until your name shows up in the evidence trail.
Report the ROI, monthly
Citation rate per engine and per question, AI referral sessions from Search Console and GA4, and the leads that came from them. Fixed fee, so the ROI maths is simple.

What you get out of it — and how we prove it
Named when buyers ask AI who to hire
Most AI assistants name two to five companies. Being one of them is the whole game.
How we prove it: Dated answer log per engine, per question
Demand you were invisible to
AI answers rarely pass a referrer, so this traffic never shows up in a rank report.
How we prove it: AI referral sessions in Search Console and GA4
Nothing left on your plate
We do the writing, schema, publishing, and source building — you approve.
How we prove it: Published URLs and change log every month
Budget certainty
One fixed monthly fee scoped to your business, agreed in writing before we start.
How we prove it: Written scope and fee, no hourly overruns
Results, not recommendations
We are not the agency that hands you a 60-page audit and walks away.
How we prove it: Citation rate movement month over month
Built for the Canadian market
Canadian entity signals, CAD fees, PIPEDA-aware handling, and bilingual prompts where needed.
How we prove it: City-level and French-language citation logs

We confirm the fee in writing before any work starts, and it does not change unless you approve a new scope. No hourly meter, no surprise invoices.

AI Citation Program — questions we get asked
- How is the AI citation program priced?
- As one fixed monthly fee in CAD, scoped to your business. The fee depends on your site size, page count, how many buyer prompts we monitor, and how many markets or languages you need covered. We put the scope and the fee in writing before any work starts, and it does not change unless you approve a new scope. There is no hourly meter. Book a 30-minute call and we quote your monthly fee after looking at your site and your baseline citation pull.
- Which AI platforms do you get us cited on?
- ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Every engine is queried on the same prompt set so the report is comparable engine to engine.
- How long until we show up in AI answers?
- Long-tail commercial questions usually show first citations in 30–60 days after the entity and schema work ships. Broad category questions such as "best web design agency in Vancouver" take 90–180 days because the engines want consistent third-party reinforcement first.
- Is this SEO with a new name?
- No. Classic SEO optimises for a blue link position. This work optimises for being named inside a generated answer, which depends on your entity graph, machine-readable schema, answer formatting, and third-party sources. We report brand-named citation rate per engine, not keyword rank.
- Do you only work with Canadian companies?
- DoodleWeb Canada is based in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia and the program is built for Canadian companies — Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, and everywhere between — including CAD pricing, PIPEDA-aware handling, and Canadian entity signals. We do serve cross-border brands where the Canadian market is the priority.
- What makes the fee fixed?
- Scope is written down before we start: prompt count, pages published, engines monitored, markets covered, and reporting cadence. If the scope changes you approve a new fixed monthly fee. There are no hourly overruns.
- Do you just tell us what to do, or do you do it?
- We do it. DoodleWeb Canada is a done-for-you team: we write and publish the answer pages, deploy the schema, build the entity graph and llms.txt, do the directory and community source work, and then show you the dated citation logs. You approve the work; you do not implement it.
