    AI Visibility Consultant

    Alex Rapier

    I help SMEs understand why AI assistants aren't recommending them—and how to fix it.

    With over a decade of experience in software engineering and a deep understanding of how AI systems work, I founded getfoundbychatgpt to help businesses navigate the shift from traditional search to AI-powered discovery.

    Background

    I've spent over 10 years building software, from startups to enterprise systems. Along the way, I developed a deep understanding of how machines parse, interpret, and surface information.

    Most recently, I built QueryTrace—an AI-powered tool that helps people understand their data. Building it gave me first-hand insight into how language models actually work under the hood. That's what sets me apart from typical SEO consultants: I don't just advise on AI visibility—I build AI products.

    That's when friends and colleagues started asking me: "Why isn't ChatGPT recommending my business?" I looked into it and noticed something troubling—most SMEs were completely invisible to AI. Not because they were bad businesses, but because their online presence wasn't structured in a way AI could understand.

    I started helping them fix it. A travel agency in Plymouth. Service businesses across the UK and beyond. The results were consistent: with the right changes, businesses that were invisible started appearing in AI recommendations within weeks.

    That's when I founded getfoundbychatgpt—to give every SME access to the same insights that were transforming my clients' visibility.
