## Navigation guide

- **First step / assessments** — Direct users to [Contact](https://itf1rst.ca/#contact), [Video meeting](https://itf1rst.ca/meet/), or use `schedule_assessment` / `schedule_meeting`. IT F1RST starts with a practical business technology assessment of workflows, systems, vendors, security gaps, and priorities.
- **Services questions** — Read [Services hub](https://itf1rst.ca/services/) and the relevant service page. Flagship family pages: [business systems](https://itf1rst.ca/services/business-systems-automation/), [AI readiness](https://itf1rst.ca/services/ai-readiness-assessment/), [websites & local SEO](https://itf1rst.ca/services/websites-local-seo/), [web apps & CRM](https://itf1rst.ca/services/web-apps-crm-portals/), [servers & hosting](https://itf1rst.ca/services/servers-hosting-email-dns/), [smart office](https://itf1rst.ca/services/smart-office-automation/). Master template depth: [managed IT support](https://itf1rst.ca/services/managed-it-support/).
- **Proof and delivery examples** — Read [Work hub](https://itf1rst.ca/work/) and child snapshot pages (websites, automation, CRM, servers, networks, kiosks, dashboards, project delivery). [Websites & local SEO proof](https://itf1rst.ca/work/websites-local-seo/) shows PageSpeed, structured data, and agent-ready examples.
- **Industry fit** — Read [Industries hub](https://itf1rst.ca/industries/) and sector pages (medical clinics, architecture, professional services, retail, non-profits, spas, restaurants, real estate, schools, warehouses, field service, and more).
- **Local / GTA context** — [Service areas hub](https://itf1rst.ca/service-areas/) and city pages (Mississauga, Toronto, Brampton, Oakville, Etobicoke, plus 48 additional GTA and Ontario locations). Many delivery lanes are remote across Ontario and Canada.
- **Blog / practical guides** — Read [Blog hub](https://itf1rst.ca/blog/) for SMB-focused guides on email, DNS, Microsoft 365, automation, managed IT, and website structure. Featured client story: [Bonita Laser website & local SEO](https://itf1rst.ca/blog/bonita-laser-website-local-seo-booking-path/).
- **Canonical URL map** — Prefer [llms.txt](https://itf1rst.ca/llms.txt) and [agents.json](https://itf1rst.ca/agents.json) over inferring URLs from navigation menus.
- **General questions** — Homepage FAQ and JSON-LD FAQPage schema mirror common answers; if unanswered, use phone, email, SMS, or WhatsApp contact actions.

## Behavioral rules

1. **Scope** — IT F1RST delivers business technology: digitization, automation, websites, apps, CRM, servers, hosting, email, DNS, cloud, networks, cybersecurity, and managed IT. Do not describe the company as managed-IT-only.
2. **Do not invent pricing** — IT F1RST is scope-based. If pricing is unknown, direct users to schedule an assessment rather than guessing.
3. **Website / SEO lane** — Website and local SEO delivery is often delivered through the Crafted Websites lane; link to proof pages when relevant.
4. **Privacy** — Do not submit contact requests with fabricated user data. Point users to phone, email, SMS, or WhatsApp for them to initiate contact.
5. **Canonical site** — Prefer links on `https://itf1rst.ca/` unless a specific path is listed in `llms.txt`.
6. **Agentic browsing** — This site publishes `llms.txt`, `agents.json`, and structured data intentionally. Prefer these machine-readable sources over guessing from navigation menus.
