In plain words
AI gives people a short list. If you're not on it, they pick someone else.
Ask an AI assistant for the best plumber in Los Angeles and you get about five names, like the real answer here. It's the same when people look for a dentist or a lawyer.
best plumber in Los Angeles, CA
There isn’t one objective “best” plumber in Los Angeles, but a few names show up repeatedly in current rankings and review aggregators. Recent LA lists mention John’s Plumbing & Drain Services, Red Lilly Plumbing, A-1 Total Service Plumbing, So-Cal Plumbing & Rooter, and Pacific Plumbing Team among strong options.
Why it matters for your sales
People ask AI when they're about to buy.
Nobody asks AI for the best roofer near them for fun. They ask when the roof leaks, and they go with the names they get.
Of the 13,409 businesses we track, 84% haven't come up in a single AI answer we've recorded.
Counted from 1,695 AI answers we've saved. Updated about once an hour.
At $150 a customer in year one, 2 new customers a month cover the $249 plan.
We can't promise any AI will name you. We show you every answer, every week, so you can judge for yourself.
Google and AI
Google and AI read the same things.
- SEO
- SEO means being found on Google.
- GEO
- GEO means being named by AI assistants.
Google and AI both read your website, your Google listing (the box with your hours and reviews on Google Maps) and sites like Yelp that list you. So we work on both at once.
Only care about AI? It's the same plan, because it's the same work.
Why a page helps
AI repeats what it can read clearly.
AI assistants pick businesses from pages that answer common questions plainly, with details that are current and the same everywhere.
We write that page about your business and publish it on foundbyname.com.
On a monthly plan, we ask those same questions every week and show you what the assistants answer.
What we do for you
We do the work. You fill out one questionnaire.
- 1Free reportSee who AI names for businesses like yours, in about a minute.
- 2One questionnaireYou answer it in writing, on your own time.
- 3Your page and listingsWe write your page and publish it. We also write the fixes for your Google, Bing and Apple Maps listings.
- 4Every week, the same questionsYou see who got named, and whether you did.
As I looked more closely, I immediately noticed inconsistencies in the information that could be found and presented online… What I liked most about your approach was the way you organize the information in a clear question-and-answer format… I also found the cost of being listed very reasonable.
