AI search & LLMs
Accounting Companies helps people find Canadian accounting and bookkeeping firms. We also make our public listings readable by search engines and AI assistants, so they can discover relevant pages and link people to the original information.
How AI tools can find us
Our crawler policy allows search agents used by ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity to access public pages. Firm listings, location pages and guides contain readable text and links, with an XML sitemap to help crawlers find them.
Our AI reading guide explains the directory’s coverage, sources, page structure and citation rules. It is a convenient reference; publishing it does not guarantee that an AI service will read it, mention us or recommend a particular firm.
For firms listed here
Clear, current business details make your listing more useful to visitors and the tools they use. Keep your name, address, phone number, website and services accurate. List or claim your firm, or send a correction if an existing detail is wrong.
Using and citing our listings
Link to the specific firm profile or location page used in your answer. Identify Accounting Companies as the directory source. Service labels reflect public listing categories; confirm services and availability directly with the firm. A dated registry match describes the check recorded on that profile. Read how verification works.
Discovery is different from a mention
Crawler access means a tool is allowed to read the site. A referral means someone followed a link from an AI service. A citation means the service included a page in an answer. These are different signals: making pages accessible does not establish that a citation or referral has occurred.
