Submit Your Agency for Editorial Consideration

Agencies may submit business information for free.

Submission helps our editorial team discover and evaluate agencies.

Submitting an agency does NOT guarantee:

• ranking inclusion
• ranking position
• an editorial recommendation
• Provider Network approval

No fee is required simply to submit factual agency information.

Agencies can use the existing agency submission page for editorial consideration.

Ranking and Provider Network Participation Are Separate

This separation is fundamental to the platform.

For example:

Ranked + Provider

An agency may appear in an editorial ranking and separately participate in the Provider Network.

Ranked + Not a Provider

An agency can be ranked without participating commercially.

Provider + Not Ranked

A legitimate provider can participate in the Provider Network without appearing in a Top 3 or Top 10 ranking.

Neither

An agency may exist in our editorial database without currently being ranked or participating in the Provider Network.

Commercial participation must never be presented as a requirement for ranking.

Join the Provider Network

The Provider Network is designed for legitimate agencies and specialists interested in receiving qualified business opportunities.

Provider eligibility is based on provider suitability, not public ranking position.

Qualified opportunities are intended to be exclusive:

We do not intentionally sell the same qualified inquiry to multiple participating agencies.

Learn About the Provider Network

Basic Agency Information Is Free

A basic agency presence can include factual information such as:

• company name
• location
• website
• short editorial description
• relevant specialties

Agencies should be able to request factual corrections without purchasing an upgrade.

Examples include:

• incorrect website
• changed address
• inaccurate company name
• outdated contact information

Editorial language, ranking position and conclusions remain under editorial control.

Enhanced Agency Profiles

Agencies may eventually choose a paid Enhanced Agency Profile.

Enhanced profiles can provide additional space to present factual company information such as:

• fuller agency description
• complete service list
• industries served
• team information
• images or video
• case studies
• multiple locations
• research contributions
• social profiles
• capabilities
• projects
• additional contact options
• profile analytics where available

Enhanced Profiles are a commercial presentation product.

They are NOT ranking upgrades.

Payment does not:

• guarantee ranking
• increase ranking position
• change editorial methodology
• make an agency Top 3
• make an agency Top 10

Enhanced Profile purchase details are not handled on this page.

Contribute Research or Expertise

Agencies and experts may submit genuinely useful research or evidence for editorial consideration.

We do not require an agency to pay simply because its research may be useful to readers.

Potential contributions might include:

• original datasets
• experiments
• AI-search studies
• market research
• technical findings
• documented methodologies
• expert commentary

Publication is not guaranteed.

Contributed research should be clearly distinguished from research originally produced by AI SEO Experts Canada.

Possible labels include:

• AI SEO Experts Canada Research
• Contributed Research
• Research Analysis

Paying for an Enhanced Profile does not increase the likelihood that research will be published.

Awards and Recognition

AI SEO Experts Canada may operate annual recognition programs.

Potential categories may include:

• AI SEO Agency of the Year
• GEO Agency of the Year
• AEO Agency of the Year
• AI Search Innovation
• AI Search Research
• Local AI Search Strategy

Awards are recognition.

They are NOT:

• certifications
• credentials
• training qualifications

Winning must not be purchasable.

Commercial relationships do not determine award winners.

We Do Not Sell Certifications

AI SEO Experts Canada is not building a paid certification or course business.

Participation is not described as:

• certified by AI SEO Experts Canada
• accredited by AI SEO Experts Canada
• officially qualified because of a paid program

Agency evaluation and recognition remain evidence-based.
