TORONTO, Ontario – Mehrana Agency, a Toronto-based digital marketing and SEO firm, has expanded its AI Search Optimization services for local businesses across Canada, responding to a measurable shift in how customers now find service providers. A growing share of buying research no longer begins on a search results page. It begins inside an AI assistant, and businesses that are invisible to those systems are quietly losing enquiries they never see.

 

The agency’s programs are built around a simple premise: local visibility in 2026 has three surfaces, not one. Traditional organic listings still matter. The Google Map Pack still drives the majority of calls for service businesses. But a third surface has arrived, where tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude answer a customer’s question directly and name only two or three providers. Mehrana structures client content, entity data and citations so that a business is eligible to be one of those named providers.

 

Alongside AI Search, the agency continues to run its flagship Local SEO service, covering Google Business Profile optimization, Map Pack rankings, citation management and review growth, together with custom-coded websites, AI operations and automation, and email marketing. Clients typically begin with one service and layer in the rest as they grow, with everything running on a shared technical foundation.

 

Every engagement is reported through Patrick OS, the agency’s in-house client dashboard, which brings 32 connected applications into a single live view. Rather than a monthly PDF, clients see rankings, leads and campaign activity as they happen. The agency works on month-to-month terms, with no long-term contracts.

 

“Most local businesses are still optimizing for a version of search that is already changing underneath them,” said Mehrdad Salehi, founder of Mehrana Agency. “Our job is to make sure a client is found in all three places a customer might look: the map, the search results, and the AI they ask first. If the underlying data about a business is inconsistent or thin, none of those systems can recommend it with confidence.”

 

Mehrana currently serves businesses in 14 Canadian cities, including Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, Hamilton, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria, Winnipeg and Halifax, and runs industry-specific playbooks for dental practices, law firms, medical clinics, restaurants, contractors and plumbers.
