For businesses that deserve to be the answer

When your buyers ask AI who to hire, your name should be the answer.

You rank on Google and referrals speak for you. But buyers increasingly start by asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI, and if it doesn't name you, you never even know you were in the running.

Foundier fixes that one problem. Start with a free snapshot of what AI says about you today. The full 5-day audit is $750, refund-backed and credited toward whatever comes next.

The problem isn't your ranking. It's who the AI names instead of you.

Search changed shape underneath you. When an AI answer names two or three businesses and the buyer stops there, being #1 on Google doesn't help, because they never see the results page. Most business owners feel this before they can name it.

The external problem: AI recommends your competitors, and there's no notification when it happens.
The internal problem: qualified leads feel quieter, and nothing in your analytics explains why. It's unsettling.
The frustration: agencies keep pitching "AI SEO," but none can explain what they'd actually change on your site.
What's at stake: the businesses AI cites today become the defaults it cites for years. The gap compounds quietly.

We've watched this happen to businesses that deserved better.

Foundier was founded by Ahmad Raza. Before starting it, Ahmad ran website and AI SEO audits for US businesses and delivered the AI SEO work behind them. Audit after audit showed the same pattern: excellent businesses, some ranking #1 on Google, going completely unnamed when buyers asked AI who to hire. The leads weren't disappearing. They were being handed to whoever the AI mentioned first.

So he built a company that does exactly one thing: get your business recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Not as a line on a bigger menu. As the whole practice, with the tooling and testing that only a specialist builds.

And because trust shouldn't rest on our word, we put our guarantees in writing. You'll find all four further down this page.

Who you'll work with

A small specialist team. No account managers in between.

Foundier is a small team of specialists led by founder Ahmad Raza, each focused on one of the three disciplines AI citations depend on. The people who diagnose your site are the people who fix it, and you talk to them directly.

AI visibility research & strategy

Runs the citation tests across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews, maps who gets named instead of you, and sets the plan.

Technical SEO & schema

Fixes the foundation engines read first: structured data, entity signals, crawlability and Core Web Vitals.

Design & content

Builds and restructures pages so they convert the visitors AI sends you, and give engines answers they can quote.

Why trust us

We don't ask for trust. We put it in writing.

Anyone can promise results. So instead of testimonials you can't verify, we put four guarantees in writing, each one moving the risk off you and onto us.

01Transparency
You see the price before the pitch

Published rates for every service. No "book a call to find out," and no quote that shifts based on how much you look like you can pay.

02Guaranteed
The diagnosis is refund-backed

The audit lands in five business days or you get your $750 back. And it credits toward whatever engagement follows, so it costs nothing if we work together.

03Measured
Results are shown, not asserted

The same before-and-after citation test on every engagement, across all four engines. You watch the movement happen, engine by engine.

04No lock-in
You're never trapped

Monitoring is month to month, projects are fixed-price. If the work stops earning its keep, you stop paying for it. No contract holds you.

Put together, that's a simple promise: the risk of trying Foundier sits with Foundier, not with you. And the first step is free.

Where we take you

From not mentioned to the name AI recommends.

AI answers usually name two or three businesses, and the buyer stops there. Our whole job is to move you onto that short list, keep you there, and prove it with the same before-and-after test on every engagement.

The questions buyers ask before they trust anyone.

Straight answers to what buyers ask before hiring an AI SEO company.

What is an AI SEO company?
An AI SEO company gets your business recommended inside AI answers, so when your buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, or Google AI Overviews who to hire, your name comes back. Instead of chasing blue-link rankings, an AI SEO company engineers the signals AI engines read before citing a business. Foundier is a specialist AI SEO company; it's the only thing we do.
What is AI SEO, in plain terms?
AI SEO (sometimes called generative engine optimization or answer engine optimization) is the practice of making your business easy for AI engines to understand, trust, and cite. When someone asks an AI assistant for a recommendation, AI SEO is what decides whether your business is named or skipped.
How is an AI SEO company different from a regular SEO agency?
A regular SEO agency earns you rankings on Google. An AI SEO company earns you citations inside AI answers, and the two run on different signals. You can rank #1 on Google and still be invisible when ChatGPT names who to hire. A specialist works on the entity clarity, structured data, extractable content, and corroboration that AI engines weigh.
How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
Make your business easy for it to understand and safe to cite: a consistent entity, schema it can parse, answer-first content it can quote, and corroborating mentions across the web. A free snapshot shows where you stand today, the audit shows exactly why, and the AI SEO service builds the signals that move you into the answer.
Does AI SEO help local and small businesses?
Yes, often more than it helps large ones. When someone asks AI for a recommendation in a specific place or niche, there are only a few names in the answer, and a focused local or small business can absolutely be one of them.
How much does an AI SEO company cost?
At Foundier, every price is published. The snapshot is free. The AI Visibility Audit is $750, delivered in 5 business days and credited toward any engagement within 60 days. AI SEO Services run $3,000 to $6,500 in three fixed tiers. Technical SEO and schema is $2,000 to $4,000. AI-Ready Websites start at $5,000. AI Visibility Monitoring is $1,250 or $2,500 per month, maintenance included, no minimum contract.
Who will I actually work with?
The specialists who do the work: AI visibility research, technical SEO and schema, and design and content. There are no account managers in between, so the people who diagnose your site are the people who fix it and report on it.
How long does AI SEO take to show results?
Schema and technical fixes are typically live within 2 to 6 weeks. Early citation movement across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews usually shows within 60 to 90 days. Compounding gains build over 3 to 6 months. Every engagement is measured with the same before-and-after citation test.
How do you prove the work actually moves the needle?
With a before-and-after citation test on every engagement. Before work starts, we record how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews answer real buyer questions in your category, and whether you're named. At delivery, the same test runs again, so you see the movement engine by engine.
Why should I trust Foundier?
You shouldn't have to take our word for it, and we don't ask you to. We ask you to trust the structure: published prices, a refund-backed deadline on the audit, a before-and-after test that shows movement instead of claiming it, and no lock-in. You can also test our own AI visibility before you hire us, and start with a free snapshot that costs nothing.
What kind of businesses is Foundier the right fit for?
Law firms, clinics, and B2B and professional services firms that already earn their reputation offline and on Google but go unnamed when buyers ask AI who to hire. If you need ads managed, a brand redesign, or the cheapest option in the market, a full-service agency will serve you better, and we'll tell you so.
