AI SEO, technical SEO and website services, from audit to monitoring.

Foundier helps businesses win AI search in three ways: building websites that AI engines trust and cite from day one, fixing the technical and content signals currently keeping a business out of AI answers, and monitoring and growing AI citation share on an ongoing basis. Every engagement starts with the AI Visibility Audit: a 5-day diagnostic that shows exactly where your business stands and which path fits your situation first.

For paid work, yes, and you can start with a free snapshot before that. The audit is the entry point for every new client regardless of which service comes after. It tells us exactly where your business stands in AI search, what technical gaps exist, and which service addresses your situation most directly. Without it, every recommendation is based on assumptions. With it, every recommendation is grounded in data specific to your site, your category, and your competitors. And the $750 is fully credited toward any larger engagement you book within 60 days, so if we keep working together, the diagnostic effectively costs you nothing.

The audit tells you. Many businesses arrive thinking they need one thing, and the audit confirms or redirects it. A business with a technically broken site needs Technical SEO + Schema before anything else. A business with clean technical foundations but poor AI citations needs AI SEO Services. A business whose site is not built for AI search at all needs AI-Ready Website Design. The audit maps the exact gap and tells you which service closes it fastest.

Technical SEO + Schema fixes the foundation: schema markup, crawlability, entity signals, Core Web Vitals. It makes your site readable and trustworthy to AI engines. AI SEO Services builds on that foundation with citation engineering, content restructuring, and entity clarity work that gets your business actively named in AI answers. If the technical foundation is already solid, you move straight to AI SEO Services. If it is not, Technical SEO + Schema comes first.

Start with the audit. It tells us whether your site can be optimized for AI search as-is or whether a rebuild is the more cost-effective path. Some sites look outdated but have strong technical foundations and just need AI SEO work on top. Others need to be rebuilt from scratch to ever be AI-ready. The audit makes that call in five days, before you commit to a full website rebuild, and its $750 is credited toward the build if that's the answer.

Yes. Google rankings and AI citations are two different outcomes driven by different signals. A business can rank on page one of Google and be completely invisible when someone asks ChatGPT the same question. Most businesses are. The signals that drive AI citation (entity authority, schema structure, extractable content) require specific work that most traditional SEO programs do not cover. The AI Visibility Audit shows you exactly where those gaps are.

The prices are public. The snapshot is free, the AI Visibility Audit is $750, and every paid engagement starts there. From that point: Technical SEO + Schema runs $2,000–$4,000, AI SEO Services $3,000–$6,500, and AI-Ready Websites start at $5,000. AI Visibility Monitoring is $1,250 or $2,500 per month and Website Maintenance is $299 per month, both with no minimum contract. The audit fee is credited toward any larger engagement booked within 60 days, and the audit itself determines which of these your business actually needs, so you never pay for work that isn't specifically required.

The AI Visibility Audit delivers in 5 business days, with a full refund if we miss the deadline. Technical SEO + Schema engagements run 2-4 weeks. AI SEO Services run 2-6 weeks depending on scope. AI-Ready Website Design runs 4-8 weeks. AI Visibility Monitoring and Website Maintenance are ongoing with no minimum contract. The audit is built to move you into your primary engagement within a week of the report, with the plan already sequenced.

Yes. Website maintenance is available as a standalone service with no minimum contract. It covers platform updates, security monitoring, daily backups, schema maintenance, Core Web Vitals monitoring, and a monthly site health report. It is also included at no extra charge in the AI Visibility Monitoring retainer, so clients on a monthly engagement get maintenance bundled.

The specific outcome is that your business gets named by AI engines when people ask about your category. Engagements are designed to surface meaningful citation movement within 60-90 days of the first optimization work going live, and technical fixes like schema can show results in 2-4 weeks as AI engines re-crawl. Citation authority compounds over months. Foundier runs pre/post citation tests on every engagement, so the improvement is measured, not assumed. You always know exactly what changed.

Yes, and the two reinforce each other. Google's official May 2026 guidance confirmed that SEO best practices remain the foundation even for AI search, because Google's AI features retrieve from the same index that powers regular Search. Strong technical foundations, quality content, and domain authority all feed into AI citation signals as well as Google rankings. The businesses winning AI search in 2026 did not abandon SEO. They built AI visibility as a second layer on top of their existing SEO work.

For Google's own AI features, largely yes, and we agree with them. Google's May 2026 guide says optimizing for generative AI search "is still SEO," and that tactics like llms.txt files get no special treatment from Googlebot. Two things are also true. That guide covers Google only: ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude run their own crawlers and retrieval systems, weight signals differently, and are where a large share of our work applies. And "still SEO" does not mean "already done": most sites fail the fundamentals Google itself lists, like clean structure, extractable answers, entity clarity, and non-commodity content. Foundier builds for each engine separately and tells you plainly which work matters where, including when the honest answer is that Google-side work is just good SEO.

A regular SEO agency optimizes for Google rankings. Foundier optimizes for AI citations, getting your business named by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews when people ask about your category. These require different technical work, different content structure, and different measurement. Most SEO agencies do not do this work at all. The ones that claim to are often applying standard SEO with AI added to the description. Foundier publishes its methodology openly. Read how we work before you talk to us.
