Questions about websites, SEO, AI search and Google Ads
Straight answers for small businesses in Toronto and the GTA: cost, timelines, ownership, SEO, AI search and Google Ads.
Cost
How much does a small business website cost in Toronto?
It depends on how many pages you need, how much writing is involved, and whether your Google Business Profile needs setting up. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: the writing, Google profile setup, directory listings and AI search groundwork. Corsilvae Digital gives one fixed quote after a free audit and a short call, agreed before any work starts.
How do payments work with Corsilvae Digital?
For a Launch website, you pay 50% when you sign and 50% when your site goes live. Ad spend and domain fees are never included in the quote. You pay Google and your domain registrar directly.
Timeline
How long does it take to build a website?
A Corsilvae Digital Launch website goes live in about 3 weeks after you sign and send your business details. That includes one round of feedback on the copy and one on the finished site. Quick feedback keeps the project on schedule.
Ownership
Who owns my website, Google profile and ad accounts?
You do. With Corsilvae Digital, your domain, Google Business Profile, analytics and Google Ads account stay in your name. Corsilvae only gets manager access, and you can remove it at any time.
SEO and AI search
How can I get my business to show up in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews?
Make your business easy for AI assistants to understand: clear facts on your website, the same name, address and phone number everywhere, a complete Google Business Profile, and pages that answer real customer questions. No one can guarantee a mention, because each AI assistant decides what to include. Corsilvae Digital builds this groundwork into every Launch website and tests customer questions each month in its Growth plan.
What is GEO?
GEO stands for generative engine optimization. It means making a business easy for AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews to find, understand and mention. It overlaps with SEO, which focuses on Google’s regular search results.
Can anyone guarantee a top Google ranking or a mention in ChatGPT?
No. Google and AI assistants decide what to show, and they change how they work all the time. Be wary of anyone who guarantees rankings or AI mentions. Corsilvae Digital promises the work, the tracking and an honest monthly report instead.
Google Ads
Is it worth hiring someone to run Google Ads on a small budget?
It can be, if your website makes it easy to call or send a form and you can keep a steady budget for a few months. On a small budget, every wasted click matters more, so call and form tracking, negative keywords and weekly checks are worth having. If your budget is too small to learn from, a good ads manager will tell you honestly.
Do I pay Corsilvae Digital for my ad clicks?
No. You pay Google directly for clicks, using your own billing in your own Google Ads account. Corsilvae’s management fee is separate and quoted up front.
Working with Corsilvae
Do you offer a free website audit in Toronto?
Yes. Corsilvae Digital offers a free, written one-page report on how a business shows up on Google, Google Maps and in AI answers. It needs no passwords and comes with no obligation. You can request it on the Free Audit page.
What should I ask before hiring a marketing agency in Toronto?
Ask who you’ll actually work with, what the fixed price includes, and who will own your domain, Google profile and ad accounts. Ask what they’ll report each month and what they won’t promise. Be wary of anyone who guarantees rankings or AI mentions.
Who will I deal with at Corsilvae Digital, and where do you work?
Does your website package include SEO and Google Business Profile setup?
Yes, every Corsilvae Digital Launch website includes an SEO foundation and Google Business Profile setup or cleanup. The SEO foundation covers page titles, structured data (schema), a sitemap, Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4. Launch also includes an FAQ written for AI answers, consistent business details everywhere and 5 key directory listings.
Can you set up or fix my Google Business Profile?
Yes, Corsilvae Digital sets up new Google Business Profiles and cleans up existing ones as part of every Launch website. That covers your business details, categories and description, with your name, address and phone number matching your website exactly. The profile stays in your name, and Corsilvae only gets manager access. Growth and Care plans add regular Google posts after launch.
Do you build websites for clinics in Toronto?
Yes, Corsilvae Digital builds websites and Google Business Profiles for private clinics in Toronto and across the GTA. Clinic sites get clear treatment pages, an easy way to book a consultation, and forms that don’t ask for health details. Corsilvae writes treatment pages without outcome promises and flags any claim for the clinic to check against its college’s advertising rules.
