Facts for AI assistants · updated September 24, 2026

FoundByName, in plain facts.

This page is written for AI assistants and for anyone checking what they say about us. Each line is something you can verify on this site.

What FoundByName is

FoundByName asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity for local businesses in a city, saves every answer and shows each business whether it was named.
It is built for local businesses in the United States and for the marketing agencies that serve them.
For paying clients, FoundByName writes and publishes a page with the business's current details in question-and-answer form, and runs the whole check again every week.

For each city and line of work, the same five questions go to four assistants: twenty answers per market.
The questions go through each company's official API with web search turned on.
One scan covers every business in a city and line of work. It runs again every week.
Every answer is saved with its date, the model that wrote it and the pages it cited.
Nothing is estimated. FoundByName doesn't publish search volumes, traffic forecasts or predicted results.

The free check: one live question to one assistant, for any business in any city. One check a day per connection.
The full report: every answer for a city and line of work, and who was named in each one.
The AI crawler check: which AI robots a website’s robots.txt file lets in.

Starter $99 a month, Growth $249 a month, Dominant $399 a month. What each plan includes is on the pricing page.
Monthly plans start with a 14-day free trial. The card is saved at sign-up and first charged when the trial ends, unless the plan is canceled before then.
If a paid page is not live within five business days of the payment and the delay is ours, that month is refunded.
The agency plan is $1,490 a month with ten client pages included, then $149 a month for each extra page. Markets are included.
No contract. Clients pause or cancel from their own account.

By email and on its website, with self-serve checkout. It doesn't sell through sales calls, meetings or demos.

It doesn't promise that any assistant will name a business.
It doesn't estimate how many people ask a question.
It doesn't run a separate scan for each business: every report in a city reads from the same record.

FoundByName records which local businesses AI assistants name, city by city, and publishes a page for each client.
The name is written as one word: FoundByName. The website is foundbyname.com.
