]]> AI is changing the way people discover businesses. Instead of typing into Google, more customers are asking tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity for recommendations. The question is: will AI recommend your business?

Most small businesses are invisible in AI today—but that can change.

Join us for an interactive WeCafé session with WeBC Business Advisor Archana Samtani Singhania. She’ll explore AI Engine Optimization (AIEO), the new frontier of discoverability. You’ll learn practical steps to help AI “see” your business clearly so you can show up in answers, not just search results.

We’ll cover:

  • What makes AI search different from traditional SEO
  • How AI chooses businesses to recommend and the key signals it looks for (plus ways to strengthen them)
  • How to make your business info clear and consistent, and use conversational content and FAQs to boost visibility
  • Common mistakes that keep businesses hidden from AI, and how to avoid them

Join us for this informative, interactive session to learn actionable strategies to position your business for the AI era!

Facilitator: Archana Samtani Singhania, WeBC Business Advisor

]]> Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere. If you’re growing your business, it can help you create efficiencies and grow faster, but you need to be strategic about how you use it.

So how do you identify where AI can be most helpful for you, how much should you budget, and how much time does it take to set up? Join us to hear from two tech entrepreneurs who are leveraging AI to grow their businesses:

  • Lawrence Lewis is the CEO and Founder of OneFeather, Canada’s only Indigenous technology company specializing in electronic voting and community engagement solutions.
  • Maya Adly is the CEO and founder of ROAR, a one-stop booking platform for service-based businesses.

They’ll share key AI tools, how they’ve integrated them into their workflows, and some lessons learned along the way.

Join us for this free fireside chat to ask your questions and explore how AI tools can support your business growth!
