In a sea of agencies selling packages, they were the only ones who studied our business first. The review engine alone changed our weekends — we went from empty tables at 6pm to a waitlist.

Trusted twice. First by Maxlab clients — now as Mini-Labs.
They rebuilt our site with the SEO thinking already inside it. Within four months we were ranking for searches we'd never touched, and consult requests more than doubled. Everything was measured.
We came in for a consultancy contract and left with automation running our dispatch. What impressed me was the honesty — they told us what not to build. That's rare.

Frequently asked questions
Mini-Labs is a Toronto-based business development consultancy specializing in AI, technology and marketing. We design and build growth systems for small and medium businesses: websites, Google review and reputation engines, SEO/AEO/GEO, branding, ecommerce, mobile apps, custom software, digital marketing strategy and AI automation. Every engagement starts with research and strategy — then we implement only what will measurably grow your revenue.
It's a done-for-you system that turns your past and new customers into consistent, legitimate Google reviews. Personal review requests go out in controlled daily batches, polite follow-ups run automatically, and every review gets a thoughtful reply. Consistent reviews strengthen your Google Business Profile, improve Google Maps rankings, and make your business the one customers call first.
A professionally designed small-business website in Toronto typically ranges from $3,000 to $12,000 CAD, while ecommerce stores and custom web applications range from $8,000 to $40,000+ depending on scope. We scope every project with a free growth audit first, so you get a fixed quote built around your goals and budget — never a surprise invoice.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps your website rank in traditional Google results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) structures your content so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews cite your business as the answer. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes your brand's visibility inside generative AI results. We implement all three together — so you're found whether customers search, ask, or prompt.
Small and medium businesses, restaurant owners, clinics, local service businesses, and solo founders — primarily across Toronto and the GTA, with clients across Canada, the United States and the Middle East. If you serve customers and want more of them, we're built for you. Enterprise-scale AI engagements are handled by our parent company, Maxlab.
