About Us
We help SMEs become the ones AI recommends
When people ask ChatGPT for recommendations, most businesses are invisible. We fix that.
The problem we solve
According to Adobe's 2025 research, 50% of consumers now use AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity to find businesses and services. But according to the RankOS Benchmark (December 2025), 87% of businesses don't show up in those results.
It's not because they're bad businesses. It's because AI doesn't understand them. Their websites weren't built for this new world — and most don't even know they're missing out.
We show you exactly why AI isn't recommending your business, and give you a clear roadmap to fix it.
How it started
getfoundbychatgpt started when Alex Rapier—founder of QueryTrace—helped a friend's business figure out why their leads had dried up. The answer? Their customers had stopped Googling — they were asking ChatGPT instead. And ChatGPT wasn't recommending them.
After restructuring their site for AI visibility, their traffic quadrupled within weeks. That's when it became clear: this wasn't a one-off problem. Most SMEs are invisible to AI — and they need a way to find out why.
With over a decade of experience in technology and AI, we've turned that insight into a service that gives any business a clear answer in 24 hours.
Our approach
We don't believe in vague advice or generic audits. Every AI visibility review is personally conducted by Alex Rapier — the founder himself. No junior staff, no account managers, no handoffs.
You get a complete picture: how AI currently understands your business, why your competitors might be getting recommended instead, and a prioritised action plan you can actually follow. Then we walk you through it on a call — no jargon, no confusion.
Why specialist beats generalist
AI visibility is a new, rapidly-evolving field. Generalist marketing agencies spread thin across SEO, PPC, social media, and dozens of other services can't match the depth of knowledge from someone who builds AI products full-time.
We do one thing — AI visibility — and we do it better than anyone else. That's the specialist advantage.
Clear enough to implement yourself
Our recommendations are specific, prioritised, and actionable. We don't just tell you what's wrong — we tell you exactly what to change, in what order, and why. Most clients implement the recommendations themselves the same day.
The 45-minute walkthrough call ensures you understand everything. We also provide ongoing email support after your audit — questions about implementation? Just email us.
The instructions are clear enough that most clients implement everything themselves — no developers or agencies required.
Who we work with
Our primary focus is SMEs and B2B service providers — IT services, marketing agencies, accountancy firms, software companies, consultancies — because this is where AI visibility delivers the most immediate ROI. When someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, you get direct enquiries from qualified prospects.
The principles of AI visibility apply to any business. We work with professional services firms, B2B companies, e-commerce brands, SaaS companies, and tech startups. The core methodology — clarity, structured data, trust signals, machine-readable content — benefits any business that wants AI to understand and recommend them.
For enterprise clients requiring deeper strategic work, we offer bespoke consulting engagements. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
