AI search guides
How to be the name AI gives.
These AI search guides explain, in plain English, how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google's AI Overviews find, check and recommend businesses, and what you can do about it. They're written by the people who do this work for clients.
None of them promises a placement, because nobody can.

The AI search guides to start with
Start here if you want AI assistants to name your business. These cover where assistants look, what they check and the steps we use.

Technical AI search guides
What your website needs so AI crawlers can get in and assistants can read and quote it.
Listings, reviews and mentions
Your website is one source. These guides cover the others assistants read before they name a business.
Tracking AI search
AI answers change between people and from day to day, so you need a steady way to measure them.
MCP and Agent-Ready guides
Being named is the first half. These guides cover the second: letting assistants quote, book and order with you.
AI search by type of business
The basics are the same for everyone. What changes is where your buyers ask and what they compare.
How does Foundry do AI search?
We ask the assistants the questions your buyers ask, record who gets named and why, then fix what's in the way: facts on your site, crawler access, schema, Bing, listings, reviews and digital PR. Every month we ask the same questions again and report what changed.
That's the recommended half. With an MCP connector, assistants can also quote, book or order with you directly. Together, we call it Agent-Ready.

AI search guides FAQs
AI search is when people ask an assistant such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity or Copilot a question, or see Google's AI Overviews, and get a written answer instead of a list of links. For buying questions, that answer often names businesses.
No. Many assistants search the web before they answer, and Google's AI Overviews draw on its own results. Ranking in search still matters. AI search builds on it.
No. Assistants don't publish how they pick businesses, and answers change between people and days. Anyone selling a guaranteed placement is overpromising.
