Wes Aulbrook

I grew up on Georgian Bay. I know what it means to run a small business in a community where word of mouth still matters — and where a bad review or an invisible online presence can cost you real money.

Over the years I've built several businesses of my own, which gave me a front-row seat to how hard it is to get found online when you're wearing ten hats at once. I learned the hard way what works and what doesn't — and I got genuinely curious about what comes next.

What comes next is AI search. By 2026, a quarter of all Google searches will shift to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Siri, and Google AI. Those tools don't show ten blue links — they give one recommendation. I started 705ai to make sure that recommendation is your business, not your competitor's.

I'm not a tech company from Toronto trying to sell you something complicated. I'm a neighbor who understands the 705 — the seasonal tourism patterns, the contractor economy, the tight-knit local business culture — and I've built tools and knowledge that actually fit how this region works.
