01What we do

Two services, one standard of proof

Get named when buyers ask AI

When we asked OpenAI's API (the engine behind ChatGPT) for "AI search optimization services Toronto" on 20 October 2026, its answer named six firms. Every other firm was left out of that answer.

Kin-etiq.ai measures where you stand across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google, shows which pages the engines read, and does the work to get you onto them. That ongoing work is generative engine optimization. The free assessment is a Level 1 check of your website, and monthly plans that add the AI questions start at $1,000.

The engines disagree with each other, so we measure your share of answers every month.

Put AI to work inside the business

Some work is still done by hand: sorting new leads, answering the same product questions, chasing documents, preparing bids. A narrow AI system can take that work, with a person approving anything that matters.

Kin-etiq.ai scopes one workflow, builds it, tests it on your real cases and hands it over. Each build is quoted separately.

Buyers' common questions about both services are answered in plain words on the answers page.

03How it works

How an engagement runs

Measure
We run your buyers' questions through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google and save every answer. You see who is named, who is cited and what each engine says about you.
Find the cause
We read the pages the engines cited. They include the named firms' own sites, directories such as Clutch and "top agencies" lists. That reading tells us why you are missing.
Fix
We fix your pages so an engine can lift an answer from them, write one fact sheet about your business that the engines can repeat, and work to get you onto the pages they read.
Measure again
We re-test with the same questions on the same engines 30 days after a fix goes live, so the result is compared like for like.

A custom AI build follows the same steps. We name one job, measure how it runs today, build the smallest system that improves it, and test it on real cases first.

06Questions

Questions buyers ask first

What does Kin-etiq.ai do?

Kin-etiq.ai is a Toronto company with two services. It checks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google name a business when buyers ask who to hire. Then it fixes what keeps the business out of those answers. It also builds custom AI systems. One example is an assistant that answers from a company's approved sources.

How much does an AI visibility plan cost?

The free AI visibility assessment is a Level 1 check of your website. After that, Monitor is $1,000 a month, Grow is $2,500 a month and Build is $5,000 a month, in Canadian dollars. Build includes 8 hours of directed work each month. Extra hours are $200 an hour. Custom AI projects are quoted separately.

How do you know whether ChatGPT recommends my business?

We ask ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini the questions your buyers ask, with web search available, and save every answer. We read each answer in full and list the businesses it names and the pages it cites. The report records when an engine answered without searching. The same questions run on Google, so you see who is named instead of you and which pages the engines read.

Can you guarantee that ChatGPT will name my business?

No. AI answers change from one run to the next, so no one can promise a single answer. Kin-etiq.ai measures your share of answers across the same questions every month and works on the pages the engines read when they search. The number to watch is that share over time.

Who runs Kin-etiq.ai?

Peter Faist founded Kin-etiq.ai in Toronto. He also founded Staffy, which he launched in 2015 and which is now a healthcare staffing marketplace. He is its CEO, and Staffy is a related company. Before Staffy he worked as a security architect.

Do you work outside Toronto?

Yes. Kin-etiq.ai is based in Toronto. The measurement runs online, so the business does not need to be local.
