Executive Summary

The Challenge

Wealthsimple already had detailed product pages, financial guides, support content, and educational resources. The problem was how AI platforms understood and used the information. Important answers were spread across separate pages, which made it harder for ChatGPT to connect Wealthsimple with high intent questions about investing, taxes, trading, chequing accounts, and financial planning.

The Solution

Alskly analyzed how Wealthsimple appeared across major AI search experiences, including branded searches, product comparisons, investing questions, banking topics, tax questions, and financial recommendations. The work identified missing citations, competing brands with stronger visibility, unclear product relationships, weak answer formats, and topics where Wealthsimple needed clearer information.

Alskly then restructured priority content, strengthened product positioning, improved page relationships and internal links, expanded topic clarity, and connected AI focused content with relevant product and signup journeys.

The Results

Wealthsimple recorded 388% growth in AI search visibility. More of its content appeared across high intent financial searches, AI platforms developed a clearer understanding of its products and audiences, and ChatGPT grew from a small marketing experiment into one of the company's strongest acquisition channels.

The AI Search Opportunity

Turning Brand Authority Into AI Visibility

Wealthsimple already had extensive financial content and strong traditional search performance. That existing position did not automatically make the company easy for AI platforms to understand, cite, or recommend.

AI systems needed clearer connections between Wealthsimple's products, the problems each product solved, and the questions people were asking. Alskly focused on turning the company's existing information into answers AI systems could interpret and surface more reliably.

How Alskly Helped Wealthsimple

AI Search Intelligence

Alskly reviewed Wealthsimple's visibility across major AI search experiences and studied how the brand appeared for important financial questions. The analysis covered product comparisons, investing, banking, taxes, financial recommendations, and branded searches.

The review showed where Wealthsimple was missing from answers, where competing brands appeared more often, and where citations were going elsewhere. Alskly also identified unclear product relationships and topics where Wealthsimple had useful information but AI systems were not connecting the company with the question.

This gave the team a clearer picture of which questions and financial topics offered the strongest opportunity for greater AI visibility.

Technical GEO Optimization

Alskly improved how important pages connected with each other and how information was organized across Wealthsimple's website. The goal was to help AI systems understand which pages contained the strongest answers and how individual products related to specific financial needs.

Page structure, internal links, topic coverage, source references, and brand consistency were strengthened. These changes gave AI systems clearer information to verify, helped connect Wealthsimple with relevant financial topics, and made the correct pages easier to reference in AI generated answers.

Content Designed for AI Discovery

Alskly reorganized priority content around the questions customers were already asking. Long explanations were turned into clearer answers, while important product benefits appeared earlier on the page.

Information about fees, eligibility, features, limitations, and comparisons became easier for AI platforms to identify and cite. Alskly also strengthened the relationship between Wealthsimple's products and topics such as trading, investing, saving, spending, financial advice, and business finance.

The result was content structured around both customer intent and the information AI systems needed to produce useful answers.

From Mentions to Recommendations

Alskly focused first on helping AI systems understand what Wealthsimple offered and when each product was relevant. Stronger content relationships and clearer product information then gave AI platforms more reliable material to cite.

As those signals improved, Wealthsimple became better positioned to appear when people asked AI for financial guidance, compared providers, researched products, or looked for recommendations.

Alskly also connected AI focused content with relevant product pages and signup journeys. Visitors arriving from ChatGPT reached pages that matched the questions they had asked, creating a clearer path from financial research to account creation.

The Results

388% Growth in AI Search Visibility

Wealthsimple increased AI search visibility by 388% after working with Alskly. The improvement expanded the company's presence across high intent financial searches where people were researching products, comparing providers, or asking for guidance.

More Wealthsimple content began appearing through ChatGPT discovery, while AI platforms developed a clearer understanding of the company's products, audiences, and value. This strengthened how Wealthsimple appeared across recommendation based searches.

The commercial impact went beyond visibility. ChatGPT moved from an early marketing experiment into one of Wealthsimple's strongest acquisition channels, giving the company another path for turning financial research into customer acquisition.

What Alskly Changed

Making Wealthsimple Easier for AI to Find and Trust

Wealthsimple started with strong financial content and traditional search performance, but its information was spread across different areas of the website and AI platforms did not always connect the brand with high intent financial questions.

Alskly identified the gaps, clarified how Wealthsimple's products related to customer needs, reorganized important content around direct questions, strengthened the signals connecting pages and topics, and improved the path from AI discovery to relevant product experiences.

The result was 388% AI search growth and a stronger acquisition channel built around how people increasingly research financial products through AI.

“At Wealthsimple, ChatGPT started as an experiment. Alskly delivered 3.8x AI search growth, sharpened our content, and built one of our strongest acquisition channels.”
