Our Mission
Democratizing Visibility for Main Street Business.
We believe the power of AI shouldn't just belong to big corporations. As private business investors, founders Nick Iliopoulos and Nick Christou noticed a recurring blind spot: while Fortune 500 companies were pouring millions into optimizing for AI search, small businesses were being left behind, invisible to the very tools their customers were starting to use.
We founded AI Search Strategies to close that gap. Our mission is to give small business owners the same "unfair advantage" the big players have, ensuring your expertise gets found, trusted, and recommended.
Meet the Founders

A strategic co-founder and MBA graduate based in Ottawa. Leveraging his proven track record as an investor in public and private markets and a former corporate real estate executive, Nick has repeatedly witnessed the urgent threat of AI invisibility, which is leaving small businesses losing leads right now. He co-founded AI Search Strategies, fueled by a deep passion for digital marketing and the belief that AI should be a lead-generation equalizer, not just another obstacle. He channels this drive to close the digital divide, empowering small businesses to move from invisible to essential in the eyes of LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok through proprietary AISO audits and implementation strategies.

A Montreal-based technical visionary who transforms the challenge of AI invisibility into a competitive advantage. Nick specializes in optimizing digital infrastructure for the AI era. Combining executive technical leadership with extensive software engineering and hands-on web development experience, he designed our proprietary AISO framework to align with how LLMs actually retrieve information. Nick translates these complex algorithmic requirements into clear technical solutions. His focus is on delivering robust, functional implementations that ensure small businesses are properly indexed and recommended by modern AI tools.
