Service · Citations & accuracy
Citations and accuracy. Be named by the sources AI trusts.
AI answers repeat what trusted sources say about you. We trace wrong facts to their source and fix them, then earn mentions on the Canadian directories, review sites and publications AI already cites.

In short
Citations and accuracy work makes sure the sources AI relies on describe your business correctly and mention you often. We correct your name, address, phone, hours and services across listings like Google Business Profile, Bing Places and Apple Business Connect, fix wrong facts at their source, and earn mentions on the Canadian directories, reviews, trade press and roundups that AI platforms cite.

Why it matters
Be named by the sources AI trusts.
When an AI assistant says you close at 5 when you close at 8, it is usually repeating a directory, an old article or an unclaimed listing. Fixing your own website does not fix that source.
Assistants also lean on third-party mentions to decide who to recommend. Businesses that appear consistently on the directories, review sites and publications AI already reads are named more often than businesses that only describe themselves.

FAQ
Questions about citations & accuracy.
Still have a question? Call 647-917-8670 or email info@answerenginecanada.ca.
Can you remove a negative review?
No, and we would not try. We can help you respond well, correct factual errors through the platform’s own process and build a more complete picture through genuine reviews and mentions.
How long do corrections take to show up in AI answers?
Listing corrections can show within days or weeks. Platforms that rely on their own index or older data can take longer, which is why we re-test every month.
Do you buy links or mentions?
No. Paid placements that are not disclosed can break platform rules and Canadian advertising law. We earn mentions through useful content, partnerships and outreach.
Which directories matter in Canada?
It depends on your category and province. Google, Bing and Apple listings matter for almost everyone. Beyond that we look at what AI actually cites for your questions, such as Yellow Pages, HomeStars, RateMDs or industry associations.
