FAQ
The honest answers
Straight, no-jargon answers to the questions local business owners actually ask.
What does it cost to work with Embed AI?
It depends on what you need. Monthly retainers for our marketing platform (BookedUp) run $750–$2,500/month all-in. Standalone services start lower if you only need one piece (e.g., a custom AI workflow, an SEO/AEO refresh, or a chatbot). One-time projects (a website rebuild, a custom AI tool, a discovery audit) are fixed-fee with a written scope. We tell you the real number on the first call.
Who do you work with?
Small and medium local businesses across Canada — trade pros (plumbers, electricians, garage door, appliance repair, HVAC, handyman, roofing), professional services (real estate, legal, accounting), and growing local retailers. If you do less than $10M in revenue and want AI to actually move a number in your business, we're a fit.
Do you only do marketing, or also AI?
Both — usually together. Most clients start with one (marketing or a specific AI workflow) and add the other as it pays off. We build custom AI tools (chatbots, document automation, photo-to-quote, internal copilots) and run the marketing stack that turns AI-generated leads into booked work.
How fast can we start?
Strategy call within 24 hours of your inquiry. Custom plan delivered in under a week. Most engagements go live in 14 to 30 days — faster for our productized platforms (BookedUp, HomeForPup), longer for fully custom AI builds.
Do I own my website, content, and customer data?
Yes. Your domain, website content, ad accounts, code, and customer data are yours. If you ever leave, we hand everything over clean — no hostage tactics, no proprietary lock-in. Custom code is delivered with documentation and source.
What's the difference between SEO and AEO — and why does it matter?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is how you show up on Google's classic results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is how you show up when customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews 'who's a good electrician in Burnaby.' AI search picks from a smaller, more trusted set of sources than classic Google. Getting cited there in 2026 matters as much as ranking on page one did in 2016. Our work covers both.
Where are you based?
Embed AI Solutions, Ltd. is headquartered in Vancouver, BC, with team members across Canada. We work on-site with clients across Metro Vancouver — Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Coquitlam — and remotely with small businesses across all of Canada.
Want to put AI to work in your business?
30 minutes on the phone. We'll find the one or two places AI will actually pay off for you — and tell you straight if it's not worth doing yet.
