How It Works
Three phases to AI visibility
AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI now answer local service questions directly. Here's exactly how getfound gets your business into those answers.
Phase 01
Your listing already exists
We've already done the hard part. Using public data sources, we've built a structured, AI-readable profile for your business. This includes your business name, service area, niche, reviews, and contact information — all formatted specifically for AI consumption.
Unlike a basic Google Business Profile, your getfound listing is structured using AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) principles. This means the content is organized in the question-and-answer format that AI models prefer when generating recommendations.
Structured business profile
Your name, services, location, and contact info are organized in machine-readable format with proper schema markup and semantic structure.
Review aggregation
Google reviews are pulled, structured, and formatted so AI models can cite real customer feedback when recommending your business.
Service area mapping
Your service area is defined with city-level precision so AI models know exactly where you operate and can match you to location-specific queries.
Niche categorization
Your business is categorized within a specific niche (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc.) with service-specific content templates that match how customers ask AI for help.
Phase 02
Claim and verify your listing
Claiming your listing is free and takes less than 5 minutes. Once claimed, you become the verified owner — which means you control what AI models see about your business. Verified listings get a trust badge that AI models factor into their recommendation algorithms.
After claiming, you can update your information, add services you offer, correct any inaccuracies, and ensure your profile accurately represents your business. Accurate, owner-verified data carries more weight in AI recommendations.
Owner verification
Confirm you're the business owner through a simple verification process. This adds a verified badge and increases trust signals for AI models.
Information control
Update your business name, phone number, services, hours, and service area. Make sure everything is accurate before AI models crawl your profile.
Service catalog
Add detailed descriptions of every service you offer. AI models use this to match your business with specific customer queries like "emergency pipe repair" or "whole-house rewiring."
Verified trust badge
Claimed listings display a verified badge. This signals to both AI models and potential customers that the business information is owner-confirmed and trustworthy.
Phase 03
Activate the AI agent
This is where getfound becomes a competitive advantage. When you upgrade to a paid plan, you activate an AI optimization agent that continuously works to keep your business visible across ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI.
The agent monitors how AI models reference businesses in your niche and city, generates structured content updates, refreshes your llms.txt file, and ensures your listing stays current as AI models update their knowledge. It's like having a dedicated AEO specialist working for your business 24/7.
llms.txt generation
Your AI agent generates and maintains an llms.txt file — a machine-readable data format that AI crawlers can parse directly. This is the most direct way to feed information to AI models.
Platform-specific tokens
ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI each read and process data differently. Your agent generates platform-specific structured tokens optimized for each model's preferences.
Content refresh cycle
AI models re-crawl and update their knowledge regularly. Your agent refreshes your listing content on a monthly (Pro) or weekly (Exclusive) cycle to ensure your latest reviews, services, and information are always current.
Call and lead tracking
Track calls and clicks that originate from AI-driven discovery. See exactly how many leads find your business through ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI answers with detailed attribution reporting.
Competitor monitoring
On the Exclusive plan, your agent monitors competitor listings in your niche and city. Get alerts when competitors claim their listings or make changes that could affect your AI visibility.
