We built FoundByAI because we saw a massive shift happening — and almost no business was prepared for it. AI assistants have become the new search bar, and visibility in those answers is the next great competitive frontier.
Over 800 million people use ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot every week to find recommendations, services, and local businesses. This number is growing by 40% per quarter.
AI engines don't rank websites — they recognize entities. Businesses with structured data, consistent citations, and rich reviews are cited. The rest are invisible, regardless of their traditional SEO rank.
Most local businesses haven't started optimizing for AI yet. The businesses that move now will own AI mindshare for years. Those that wait will face an uphill battle as AI citation patterns solidify.
We exist to give every local business — not just the big brands with large marketing teams — the tools to be found by AI. We make GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) accessible, actionable, and affordable for businesses of all sizes.
We envision a future where every quality local business is discoverable — regardless of ad spend. Where AI recommends the best plumber, the best restaurant, the best consultant, not the one who paid the most. We're building the infrastructure to make that happen.
We built the tool we wished existed when we were trying to figure out why ChatGPT never recommended us.
We show you exactly how your score is calculated, what is estimated versus live-tested, and what each action will change. Every score comes with a source label. No black boxes, ever.
"Your Claude score is from a live API test. Your ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot scores are calculated using our GEO calibration model — and we tell you that clearly on every report."
Every score comes with a specific action, a time estimate, and a copy-paste template. We never show you a problem without showing you exactly how to solve it.
We designed FoundByAI for the single-location salon, the family restaurant, the independent consultant — not enterprise marketing teams with six-figure budgets.
Most businesses will not realize AI recommendations matter until 2027. The ones acting now are locking in visibility that will be very hard to displace. You are early — that is your advantage.
