Notes from our visit to 678 Sheppard Ave E, North York · July 2026
SCROLL TO EXPLORE
Before We Get Into It

Thanks for having us in.

We really enjoyed stopping by the new space at 678 Sheppard Ave E and chatting with Gizel and the team about how the hospital runs day to day. Everything on the next few pages came out of that conversation, built around what we saw and heard, not a generic template.

Geovise

A marketing agency, built on AI most agencies aren't using yet.

We're a marketing agency first. The work is the same work any good agency does, getting you found, getting you leads, turning interest into booked customers. The difference is we build and run real AI underneath all of it, which is what lets us do work that normally costs three or four times as much, for a lot less, without cutting corners. Think close to what you'd get from a full-time hire dedicated to this, at a fraction of a single salary.

Everything from here is built from that visit plus our own research, your website, your reviews, your public footprint, not yet a full sit-down on your specific goals. Think of it as a preview of how we think, not the ceiling of what we can do. Meta and Google ad management, lead capture systems, custom dashboards, and bespoke internal software are all things we build regularly, we just don't like guessing at solutions to problems we haven't actually heard from you.

About Yonge Sheppard Animal Hospital

A trusted name in a brand-new space.

Founded in 2016, independent and women-led, YSAH just moved into a brand-new clinic in August 2025 at Sheppard and Greenbriar, led by Drs. Beauchamp and Chui. The team offers translation appointments in Mandarin and Cantonese, reflecting the diversity of the North York community they serve.

Your Instagram following of over 1,000 is a real, well-earned asset, that's not a small thing to build. It's just built on Instagram's algorithm, not on the kind of content AI search actually pulls from. Those are two different games, and right now you're only winning one of them.

Illustrative example of how an AI answer gets built, not an actual search result.
01 — What We Noticed

AI doesn't know you exist yet.

When someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI Overview who to trust with their pet, the answer isn't pulled from a map pin. It's built from detailed, specific content already sitting on a website, the kind that tells AI exactly who you are and why you're worth recommending.

Right now, when we asked AI who the best animal hospitals near Sheppard and Bayview are, YSAH didn't come up, even with a 4.6 star rating from 339 reviews. That's not a trust problem, it's an information problem, and it's a fixable one.

02 — What We Noticed

Your hours work against you.

Closed Sundays, and Saturday wraps up by 2pm. That's a normal, sensible schedule for a small animal hospital, but it also means real windows every week where someone finds you online, worried about their pet, and gets nothing back until Monday.

By then, they've often already called the next clinic on the list, or worse, an emergency hospital for something that could have waited for a regular appointment. It's not about being open more, it's about making sure someone's still there to answer.

03 — What We Noticed

Vaccine and prevention reminders eat the week.

Annual vaccines, parasite prevention renewals, wellness exam due dates, keeping every pet on schedule means someone is working down a list by hand: calling, texting, calling again.

It's necessary work, and it's also exactly the kind of task that quietly eats hours your team could spend with the pets already in the building.

These are our best guesses from the outside looking in. You'll tell us how close we got.

What We Found

Two questions, two very different answers.

We didn't want to just tell you this, so we checked. We asked AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews who to book with, the same way a customer would.

Wide open opportunity

This one stings a bit: YSAH doesn't show up in the broad North York search, and it doesn't show up in the hyper-local Bayview and Sheppard search either, even a few steps from Bayview Village. Your 4.6★ from 339 reviews is a real, earned asset, it's just almost entirely banked on Google Maps right now instead of the kind of content AI actually pulls from. This isn't a small tweak, but it is a wide open lane.

There's a compounding upside here too. A lead who found you through an AI answer instead of a map pin has usually already asked the follow-up questions, insurance, pricing, whether you actually treat their specific issue, before they ever pick up the phone. Those leads convert at a higher rate and cost your front desk a lot less time chasing people who were never going to book anyway.

Geovise

Four ways we help you grow.

🔎

GEO

Making your business the answer when someone asks AI who to book with, and the specific details that turn that answer into a warmer lead.

For Yonge Sheppard Animal Hospital

Two AI employees for your front desk.

☎️

After-hours booking

Closed Sundays, and gone by 2pm on Saturdays. When someone messages outside those hours about a non-urgent concern, this assistant answers right away and books them into the schedule, so a worried pet owner never calls an emergency clinic for something that could wait.

🔁

Vaccine & prevention reminders

Automatically reaches out to pet owners due for a vaccine, a parasite prevention renewal, or a wellness exam, handles the back-and-forth of finding a time, and books it, only looping in your team when a real judgment call is needed.

Our Recommendations · For Yonge Sheppard Animal Hospital

Where we'd start.

💬

Website assistant

Knows every service, your hours, and that translation appointments are available in Mandarin and Cantonese. Answers the questions your front desk answers all day, even at 5pm on a Sunday.

Automatic review requests

Texts a quick review link to happy pet owners right after a good visit, the moment they're most likely to say yes. Keeps compounding the 4.6 stars you've already earned, and builds the kind of content AI actually notices.

📍

GEO content, not just posts

Your Instagram is genuinely strong, over 1,000 followers. AI drafts detailed website content, condition explainers, service pages, the Bayview-Sheppard neighbourhood angle, so that same following starts translating into AI search visibility too.

One Honest Note

You know your business best.

Everything in this deck is our outside read, built from your website, your reviews, and a good conversation with your team. You know your customers, your slow days, and how your business actually runs far better than we ever could.

Think of this as a starting point, not the full menu. Once we actually talk through your specific pain points, where leads go cold, what marketing has and hasn't worked, what you wish you could automate, the options open up well past what fit on these pages: Meta and Google ad campaigns, lead capture systems that feed straight into a CRM, custom dashboards, internal software built around exactly how you run things. Every page here can be swapped, dropped, or added to, once we sit down together.

Let's Talk

Ready to get found by more pet owners?

20-30 minutes, on your schedule. We'd love to actually hear what's slowing things down day to day, wherever it is, and map out what this could look like for YSAH. No pressure to decide anything on the call.
