Digital mental health
SEO, GEO and AEO rebuild for Saalvio
We audited and rebuilt the search foundation for Saalvio, a Canadian digital mental health platform, so real people can find it and AI search tools can cite it.
The problem
Saalvio was listed by Google but effectively invisible for the searches that bring people in, and it could not be found or quoted by AI search tools. Trust, technical, and content gaps were holding it back against much larger competitors.
What we did
We delivered a full audit of the site, scored across the areas that decide modern search visibility and benchmarked honestly against five named Canadian competitors, then rebuilt the platform from the ground up with a fast custom foundation, a connected data layer that search engines and AI tools can read, plainly written trust and safety pages, real local pages for each city, and named, credentialed clinical review.
Saalvio is a Canadian digital mental health platform that SZTek’s founder co-founded, so we can show this work in full and by name rather than anonymized.
We began with a full technical, content, and trust review, scored across the areas that decide modern search visibility, and benchmarked honestly against five larger Canadian competitors. We then rebuilt the platform end to end: a fast custom foundation with no heavy page builder, a connected set of structured-data modules so Google and AI tools understand who and what the site is, a research section that cites its sources, rebuilt pages for each city with real local information, clear crisis and safety resources on every page that needs them, and named, credentialed clinical review on all health content.
We are honest about limits. Search visibility builds over months, not days, so we do not promise overnight rankings. What this project shows is the finished, modern foundation and the plain-language trust it is built on.
To be clear about roles: SZTek built and optimized the search and technical foundation. Saalvio is the mental health service provider, and its clinical content is written and reviewed by its own named, credentialed clinicians, not by SZTek.
