What changed

Search gave ten links. AI gives three names.

People don’t scroll anymore. They ask, and an assistant answers with a short list. If you are not on it, you are not in the conversation, no matter how good you are.

Is your name on this list?

From our checks of … San Diego businesses

—

were not named when we asked an AI assistant for the best in their category and city.

—

have no business details that AI can read: hours, services, prices, location.

—

answer none of the questions customers actually ask, so there is nothing for AI to quote.

Independent salons, spas, studios, shops and practices across San Diego County.

What you get

Show up in AI answers, and turn them into bookings.

Named when customers ask

Show up in the answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google for the questions that bring you business: “best brow studio near me,” “facial for sensitive skin in Carlsbad.”

The right facts, everywhere

AI often repeats old hours or an old address, or says you’re closed. We find where it got that and fix it at the source.

Quoted, not just listed

We give AI real answers to quote: your services, prices and expertise, in your words, so it can explain why you.

Ahead of the shop down the street

See who AI names instead of you, and how that changes after we’re done. Same questions, before and after.

Built on what people actually ask

We find the questions people in your area really ask about what you do, then make sure AI has your answer to each one.

Done for you, in plain English

No software to learn and no dashboard to check. We do the work and show you what changed.

The six basics

Six things an assistant needs before it will recommend you.

Good taste gets people in the door. These get you on the list. We handle all six in every project.

01
Readable

Your words live in the page, where AI crawlers can read them, not drawn in by script.

02
Understood

Your name, address, hours, services and prices are labeled for machines, not just people.

03
Answerable

Real answers to the questions people ask out loud: “Do you do brow lamination?” “Is there parking?”

04
Consistent

Google, Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp and your booking page all agree about who and where you are.

05
Trusted

Fresh reviews, and mentions in the local guides and roundups that assistants quote.

06
Bookable

One clear next step, from any phone, in two taps.

Questions

What is wearefound.ai?

wearefound.ai is a small studio in San Diego that helps a local business get found and recommended when people ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini or Google’s AI for a recommendation. We find what people near you actually ask, check what AI says, and fix what keeps it from naming you.

Do I need a new website?

No. Nothing we do is a redesign. We add what AI needs to the site you already have: your business details, answers to the questions people ask, and a short guide for AI.

What’s in the free preview?

Enter your website and see, right away, what AI can and can’t read about you and your biggest gap. No signup.

What’s in the $100 report?

A short presentation, ready in about 15 minutes: what people near you actually ask about what you do, how often ChatGPT and Gemini name you and who they name instead, your biggest gaps, and the three moves that would change it. The $100 is credited if you have us do the work.

What does the $2,500 implementation include?

We put every fix in place: your business details for AI, answers to your customers’ questions, a guide for AI (llms.txt) where your platform allows it, AI assistants let in, and your details matched on Google, Apple, Bing and Yelp. Then we ask the same questions at 30 days and show you what changed. It includes a walkthrough call. If you bought the report, the $100 is credited.

How long until I see results?

The changes themselves take days. AI assistants refresh what they know on their own schedule, so we measure at launch and again at 30 days. Some answers move quickly; others take longer.

Can you guarantee AI will recommend me?

No one honestly can. AI assistants decide for themselves. What we guarantee is the work, and an honest before-and-after with the same questions.

What is llms.txt?

A short plain-text file at the top level of your website that tells AI, in plain words, who you are, what you offer and how to book. It’s new and simple. We write it for you, and on platforms that can’t host it, we put the same facts where AI reads them.

What access do you need?

Manager access on your Google, Apple, Bing and Yelp listings (they each let you add us; we never ask for a password), and either access to your website or the name of whoever runs it. We send them a step-by-step page written for your platform.

Which website platforms do you work with?

All of them: Squarespace, Shopify, Wix, WordPress, Webflow and custom sites. The steps differ a little by platform, and we handle that.

What if AI says something wrong about my business?

It happens a lot: old hours, a previous address, even “permanently closed.” Assistants repeat what they find in listings and directories. We trace where it came from and correct it there, so the fix sticks.

Is this just SEO with a new name?

It overlaps, but the stakes are different. Search shows ten links. An assistant names three to five businesses and the rest are invisible. The work is about clarity, consistency and real answers to real questions.

Who are you?

A small AI-visibility studio in San Diego. We help independent local businesses get found and recommended by AI: salons, spas, studios, shops and practices. Fixed scope, fixed price.

Who we help

Independent local businesses whose customers now ask ChatGPT and Gemini who to choose.
