Who we are
One accountable team for search, AI visibility and the web.
Tarek Riman has spent more than 15 years in digital marketing, working with businesses from local SMBs through Fortune 500s. The focus has always been the disciplines that move organic visibility, paid efficiency and growth: SEO, AEO, GEO, AI marketing strategy, web and app development, and analytics.
He writes about all of it in his books and on this blog, teaches it in workshops in English, French and Arabic, and runs it for clients every week.
Montreal and Dubai
Two cities, one practice.
The agency started in the Montreal area and still works from Longueuil, across the St. Lawrence from downtown. An office in Dubai, at One Central, serves clients in the Gulf and the wider Middle East.
Between the two, the team works in English, French and Arabic, and builds sites and tools in Spanish too. Multilingual work is not an add-on here. It is how the agency started.
Teaching
Teaching keeps the work honest.
Tarek is an adjunct instructor at McGill University's Executive Institute, where he teaches in the Mini-MBA program, and at Concordia University and York University. He has given more than 170 workshops to marketing teams, founders and community groups.
Explaining a method to a room full of practitioners is the fastest way to find its weak spots. What survives the classroom goes into client work and into the books.
The thesis
Visibility now lives in three layers.
Classic rankings still matter, but buyers now find brands in three places: search results (SEO), the sources AI answers cite (AEO), and the brands AI names inside generated text (GEO).
We run all three as one program on a shared content spine, connected to your website, paid media and measurement. Teams that win do not pick a layer. They run an operating system.
- SEO earns eligibility
- AEO earns citations
- GEO earns recognition
