What changed, and when.

We run the check on ourselves. Our own report counts how many answers name FoundByName, every week, whatever it shows.

The plan price applies from the first month. The $1 first month is gone: at that price we did less of the work, so it was a poor way to see what we do.

The refund rule now sits on the pricing page: if a paid page is not live within five business days and the delay is ours, that month is refunded.

Assistants sometimes name a business by its owner's name rather than the business name. Before an email says a business was not named, we now read its website for the people who work there and match those names too.

A free AI crawler check: type a website and see which AI robots its robots.txt file lets in.

Reports now list the sites assistants cited in answers that named other businesses, and never in one that named you.

Reports and the client space show what ChatGPT says about your phone number, address, website and hours, next to your Google listing.

A page of dated facts for AI assistants, and an llms.txt file.

How it works now says how each assistant is asked: through its official API, with web search on.

The free check works for any business and any line of work, in any city.

Clients can pause billing for a month, or move to a smaller plan, from their account.

When Claude wrote its list of businesses as sentences instead of a list, our reader missed names. Every market was read again from the saved answers.

Claude joined ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini in every market we scan. Each city and line of work now has twenty answers.

The client space was rebuilt: results, your page, your listings and your plan, each on its own screen.

Visits from AI crawlers to the pages we publish for clients are now recorded.

Each market page shows where the assistants looked, right after who they named.

Our robots.txt kept search engines and AI robots away from the client pages we publish. Those pages are open to them now.

Our reader skipped some real business names, such as names starting with a common word. Every market was read again from the saved answers.

A dentist named two ways in the same city was counted as two businesses. The two names are now merged.

After checkout, clients create an account with a password and reach their client space from the Log in link.

The Name Check opened: a free report of which businesses AI assistants name in your city, answer by answer.
