Remi Creative is a search visibility agency focused on five core service areas:
We also offer the Patient Growth System — a productized bundle of all five services, built specifically for BC dental clinics.
Patient Growth System (our dental-clinic bundle): $2,500 one-time setup + $2,500/month, with a 6-month minimum engagement. Ad spend is separate and paid directly to Google/Meta.
Standalone services (SEO, AEO, GEO, Web Design, Paid Media) start from $1,500/month depending on scope. Specific pricing is quoted per engagement based on your goals, competition, and existing assets.
We're transparent about pricing because we think agency opacity wastes everyone's time. If $1,500/month isn't in budget, we'll say so up front rather than burn a discovery call.
The Patient Growth System has a 6-month minimum engagement, because search visibility compounds and anything shorter produces partial results that don't justify the setup work.
Other services are scoped per engagement. Some are project-based (website rebuilds, one-time audits); some are retainer-based with flexible terms.
After any minimum term, engagements run month-to-month with 30 days written notice to cancel. No long-term lock-ins, no auto-renew traps.
A discovery call is a 20-minute conversation to understand your business, your goals, and whether Remi is the right fit. No pitch deck, no hard sell.
If we're a fit, we'll propose a free visibility audit as the next step. If we're not a fit, we'll tell you directly and recommend better alternatives. That's it.
Yes. The free visibility audit is our core top-of-funnel offer. It's a real audit — not a marketing pretext — and typically includes:
It takes us about 5 business days to complete, and you get the report whether or not we end up working together.
Our core market is British Columbia — Kelowna, the Okanagan, Kamloops, Vancouver, and Victoria. We know the local search landscape, local competition, and how BC customers actually behave.
We're expanding into Alberta in 2026. For clients outside these markets, we're selective — we only take on engagements where we can genuinely add value, which typically means local service businesses with clear growth goals.
Yes. All five of our services can be engaged standalone. Some clients come to us for SEO only, then expand into AEO/GEO once they see the compound benefits.
That said, search visibility works best as a system — SEO alone in 2026 leaves you exposed to AI-era search changes, and paid media alone is expensive to sustain. We'll be upfront if we think you'd get better results with a broader engagement.
Aldo Rendón is Remi Creative's founder and lead strategist. He has 15+ years of digital marketing leadership, an MBA, and previously built and scaled another agency before launching Remi. He leads strategy on every engagement personally — you're not handed off to an account manager after signing.
Paid media work is executed in partnership with Ivan, our dedicated paid-media specialist.
Remi Creative is based in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. We operate remote-first, so location isn't a delivery constraint, but our focus is BC businesses — we know the local search landscape and local competitive dynamics.
Remi is short, memorable, and easy to say. It doesn't try to sound clever or techy. We chose it because it lets the work speak for itself rather than the brand name.
A few things:
Remi Creative is a newer brand, but Aldo has been running digital marketing engagements for 15+ years, including a previous agency he built and scaled before launching Remi. The methodology and track record behind Remi is not new; the brand is the current expression of it.
We're building out our case study library in 2026. Unlike many agencies, we only publish case studies with real, verifiable client data — no aggregated or fabricated stats. That takes longer but it's the only version worth reading.
In the meantime, we're happy to share specific examples on a discovery call, including metrics, clients, and outcomes — with current clients' permission.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of optimizing content and entity signals so that AI-powered answer engines — like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews, and Claude — cite your business in their answers.
It's different from traditional SEO because the goal isn't to rank on a search results page. The goal is to be the source the AI quotes when someone asks a question relevant to your business.
AEO combines content strategy (answer-shaped content, FAQ structures), technical signals (schema markup, clean HTML), and authority building (being mentioned on trusted third-party sites).
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of influencing how generative-AI systems describe, recommend, and position your brand — not just whether you're cited, but how you're cited.
Where AEO focuses on "am I mentioned at all?", GEO focuses on "when I'm mentioned, is the context favorable, accurate, and differentiated?"
GEO involves managing brand entity data, strategic third-party mentions, sentiment across sources AI trains on, and ensuring consistent, accurate positioning across the broader web ecosystem that AI models learn from.
In short:
All three matter in 2026, and they reinforce each other. For a longer explainer, see our complete comparison guide.
Yes — and arguably more than before. Here's why:
AI answer engines are trained on, and continue to cite, content that ranks well in traditional search. When ChatGPT or Perplexity builds an answer about "best dentists in Kelowna," they often pull from pages that already rank on Google. Strong SEO is the foundation AI citations are built on.
SEO as "rank #1 on Google so people click your link" is declining. SEO as "produce high-quality authoritative content that both search engines and AI systems cite" is more valuable than ever.
There's no "submit to ChatGPT" form. AI citations are earned through a combination of:
Results take 3–6 months to emerge. There's no fast path.
First AI citations typically start appearing at 3 months. Consistent visibility across multiple AI engines usually takes 4–6 months. Compound effects — where AI citations feed back into SEO rankings, which feed back into more AI citations — typically take 6–12 months to become measurable.
Anyone promising AI citations in 30–60 days is either lying or using black-hat tactics that won't hold.
No. Nobody can guarantee AI citations any more than they can guarantee Google rankings. AI systems update constantly, training data shifts, and competitor activity affects visibility.
What we can commit to is doing the work that gives you the best possible chance — clear content, strong schema, authority signals, consistent entity management. Results are the natural consequence of the right work done consistently.
Both — but the mix depends on the engine:
Being cited is increasingly valuable even without the click. The AI naming your business creates brand exposure and trust — and in many industries, that alone drives people to search for you by name later.
The Patient Growth System is our productized offering for BC dental clinics. It's a five-pillar search-visibility engagement combining:
It's designed specifically for dental clinics that want to grow patient volume without managing five separate vendors.
$2,500 one-time setup + $2,500/month, with a 6-month minimum engagement.
Setup fee covers initial audit, strategy, foundational technical work, and onboarding. Monthly fee covers content, AEO/GEO work, Maps optimization, reporting, and monthly strategic reviews.
Ad spend is separate — typically $1,500–$3,000/month paid directly to Google and Meta, depending on your market.
The Patient Growth System is specifically for BC dental clinics — the name, copy, examples, and strategic approach are built around dental practice growth.
For other healthcare categories (medical, optometry, chiropractic, physio), we offer our standard service lineup (SEO, AEO, GEO, Web, Paid Media) scoped to your specialty. Book a call to discuss a custom engagement.
No — and you should be skeptical of any agency that does.
Patient acquisition depends on factors outside any agency's control: search algorithms, AI model updates, competitor activity, local market conditions, your clinic's conversion rate once patients visit your site, your staff's booking-call handling, and more.
What we commit to is the work itself — the deliverables, the monthly strategic reviews, the reporting — and accountability when something isn't working. Results are the natural consequence of the right work done consistently.
The Patient Growth System is a strong fit for established BC dental clinics doing $1M+/year in revenue with 1–5 chairs and room to grow patient volume.
If you're pre-launch, under 6 months old, or a solo practice with tight budget, we'll likely recommend starting with fundamentals (GBP optimization, a good site, basic SEO) before investing in the full system. We'll tell you honestly during the free audit.
An in-house marketing coordinator in BC runs $60K–$80K/year once you add benefits, software licenses, and training. And they'd need expertise in SEO, AEO, GEO, web UX, and paid media — which is unrealistic for one person.
The Patient Growth System gives you a team with expertise across all five pillars for roughly $30K/year, with no vacation coverage issues or six-month learning curve. It's designed as an outsourced growth function, not a replacement for everything a coordinator might do internally (community outreach, internal staff communications, etc.).
You keep everything. The content we produced, website improvements we built, Google Business Profile optimizations, ad accounts, review workflows — all of it stays with your clinic.
We don't hold your assets hostage. Engagement agreements specify that work product is owned by the client upon full payment. If you decide to bring things in-house or move to another agency, nothing technical blocks you.
