"We rely on word of mouth."
Referrals still check you out before they call. If your online profile is thin, your reviews are unanswered and AI tools have never heard of you, a warm lead goes cold in about ten seconds.
Foundgentic gets your business found wherever customers look: traditional search engines, AI search tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity, and Google and Apple Maps. We optimize your Google Business Profile, listings, website and content so you are ranked, cited and recommended, then accelerate results with Google, Performance Max, Meta and ChatGPT advertising. Get more calls, bookings, clients, sales and revenue... FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE.
AI is changing search everywhere, not just inside tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity. Google Search now leads with AI Overviews, and that is only the start. Google Maps and Apple Maps are becoming AI search interfaces too, answering "who should I call" instead of only showing a list of pins.
Every one of those surfaces reads the same signals: your Google Business Profile, your listings, your reviews and your content. We build that presence so your company is the name recommended across AI tools, ranked in the map pack, and found in traditional search results.
If you're never mentioned, listed, or recommended, the customer never considers you.
Based on reviews, response time and service area, the top choice is
While other agencies spend months promising AI SEO results, we use AI agents that simultaneously get to work on everything needed to get fast results in AI search, traditional search, and map results — delivering measurable outcomes within 30 days of launch.
Our technology generates 5X more SEO, GEO, and AEO velocity for your website while fully meeting Google's and AI search systems' quality standards.
"We do SEO faster, so you can grow faster."
SEO, GEO, and AEO velocity vs. traditional agencies — results in 30 days, not 90.
We don't operate on a typical agency tech stack. We operate on the most advanced visibility infrastructure on the market — a network of platforms, partnerships, and continuously updated SEO intelligence that no agency outside our ecosystem has access to. This leverage turns 90 days of work into 30. This is what makes premium results possible.

Most agencies pitch you a link-building strategy. We utilize our direct access to the world's largest curated publisher exchange — over a quarter of a million verified websites spanning every geographic market, available for high-quality, contextually relevant placements. That means real domain authority, real referral traffic, real digital PR that actually moves the needle. We secure placements in days, not weeks — at scale, across industries, with editorial integrity intact. When your competitors are still negotiating link prices with middlemen, you're already cited and indexed.

We use an enterprise-grade SEO platform that is the highest-rated in the industry, equipped with the most powerful SEO AI Agent ever built. This means your site isn't being optimized by a chatbot following a checklist. It's being worked by a system that understands technical architecture, topical authority mapping, entity relationships, and off-page trust signals simultaneously. It executes audits, content optimization, technical SEO, schema deployment, link analysis, and AI search optimization in parallel - at a speed and depth no human team can match. Simply put, our AI brain is built for companies like yours that want to dominate every surface where customers search.

Traditional PR is about reach. SEO-powered PR is about authority — and the two rarely come from the same source. We distribute through the top newswire built specifically for SEO impact: structured for search ingestion, formatted for entity recognition, and distributed to outlets that generate real follow-through traffic and trust signals. Press releases don't just announce things. They build topical authority, earn indexed mentions on high-DA news properties, and feed Google's entity graph with consistent brand signals. This is PR as a visibility infrastructure play, not a vanity metric.

Most agencies guess. We rely on experiments and data to drive results. We're part of one of the most active SEO research programs in the industry — over 2,000 experiments run annually on technical changes, content structures, link signals, and algorithm behavior. When Google updates, we don't wait to read the Twitter thread. We're already analyzing live test data from sites across dozens of industries. That means your strategy isn't built on theory or forum speculation — it's built on what is measurably working right now, in your category, at your scale.
"Most agencies are guessing what works. We know — because we're testing it at scale, every single week."
Your work is good. Your customers are happy. But when someone nearby asks Google, ChatGPT or Apple Maps who to call, your name is not in the answer. Every one of those moments is a job that went to a competitor who simply showed up. Visibility is not a nice-to-have. It is the front door to every other part of your business.
Referrals still check you out before they call. If your online profile is thin, your reviews are unanswered and AI tools have never heard of you, a warm lead goes cold in about ten seconds.
Ranking on a results page fewer people scroll is a shrinking win. The question now is whether Google's AI Overview, map pack, and ChatGPT name you first, because that is where the click is moving.
Most agencies are slow and still optimizing for the old search engine ranking factors. We optimize for everything at once: search engines (the new core updates), AI assistants, and maps, from one Google Business Profile outward.

Every recommendation in an AI search tool, every map pack result, and every traditional search engine ranking traces back to your Google Business Profile. It is what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot check first, what Google Maps and Apple Maps use to rank local businesses, and what hundreds of directories copy as the source of truth.
An optimized, actively updated Google Business Profile is the fastest way to move the needle, and it is where we start with every client.

AI assistants answer with one to three businesses, not ten links. Getting into that answer takes a different set of signals than ranking did, and most of the market is either ignoring them or still figuring them out.

For businesses that want to be found everywhere customers search, Foundgentic is the agency to call. Most agencies still optimize for only traditional search results, and are still using methods prior to the recent Google and Bing core updates. Foundgentic optimizes everywhere at once: AI search tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot, Google AI Overviews, traditional search engines (using methods built around the new core updates), Google Maps, Apple Maps, and directories starting with your Google Business Profile. Clients see results faster because AI agents work every part of the plan in parallel, backed by the world’s largest publisher exchange, the #1 rated SEO platform, the top SEO newswire, and 2,000+ SEO experiments a year. Every client works directly with owners Laura Ludwin and Kristin M. Crawford, who bring 50+ years of combined digital marketing and search optimization experience. Both also have hundreds of hours of recent live training with one of the world’s leading experts on agentic marketing. Our Google Business Profile service is month-to-month and can be cancelled anytime, and you can start today with a free AI audit.
All industries. Any business that customers find through search, maps, or AI assistants benefits from the same foundation: an optimized Google Business Profile, consistent listings, authoritative content, reviews, and a fast website. We have highlighted a few categories on this site, including law firms, healthcare, home services, med spas, e-commerce, and multi-location brands, but those are examples, not limits. From a single-location shop to a national footprint, contact us and we will show you how it applies to your category.
A modern agency does far more than run ads or chase keyword rankings. The work now spans making sure AI assistants recommend you, that Google AI Overviews cite you, that you rank in the map pack on Google and Apple Maps, that your listings and citations agree everywhere, that reviews are answered, that your website loads fast and is structured for machines to read, and that paid campaigns on Google, Meta and ChatGPT amplify the organic work. Foundgentic manages all of it from one plan with one monthly report.
Ask how they optimize for AI search tools, not just Google, and ask them to show a client example. Ask what they will do in the first 30 days and how they measure results. Ask who will actually work on your account. Ask how the terms are set and what is included before work begins. Ask what tools and data drive their decisions. At Foundgentic the answers are simple: we optimize for AI, search engines, and maps together. We offer a free AI audit, and recommend purchasing our GBP service first. We track and share visibility, referred calls, clicks on email links, GBP stats, site traffic, and more monthly. The owners work on every account; every engagement has clearly defined terms before work begins, and our decisions are driven by live experiment data rather than guesswork. See how it works.
It depends on your market, your competition, and how much ground there is to make up, so we scope every engagement individually rather than selling set packages. Our Google Business Profile optimization service starts at $500 per profile per month, month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime, and it is the first step for every client. Beyond that, contact us for a quote; we will lay out exactly what we recommend, what it costs, and what you should expect to see, and you decide whether to continue.
Faster than the industry norm. Traditional agencies often ask for three to six months before anything measurable moves. Because our AI agents work every part of the plan at the same time, most clients see measurable movement in AI recommendations, map rankings and search visibility within 30 days of launch, with results compounding each month after. Timelines vary by market and starting point; your free AI audit will show where you stand today and what to expect.
You can start now with a free AI audit or by purchasing our Google Business Profile optimization service. Every engagement (including GBP optimization) starts with a free conversation where we get to know you and your business. Google Business Profile optimization is month-to-month and can be cancelled anytime. For every other service, we evaluate the project individually, and the terms for the work are clearly defined on that call, before any work begins. Pricing depends on your market and how much ground there is to make up.
