How BeFound works
AI decides who gets recommended. We make sure it is you.
Search moved into ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude. BeFound measures whether those engines surface your business, fixes the reasons they do not, and keeps it fixed as your site changes. One score. Real fixes. No dashboard homework.
Three steps
Measure
We test your site across the four major AI engines and grade it on a proprietary, visibility-first model, then return one honest BeFound Score from 0 to 100. The score is weighted toward what actually moves the needle, whether AI engines surface you at all, not a vanity checklist.
Fix
We do not hand you a to-do list. We apply the fixes directly to your site, automatically, across every page. Publish a new page tomorrow and it gets fixed too.
Monitor
We check daily, re-apply anything a plugin update or cache wipes, re-score weekly, and run a deep re-audit every month. Your dashboard shows the work and the trend.
What we optimize
Getting surfaced by AI is not one switch. It is dozens of signals across six areas. Here is the surface area we cover.
AI access and crawlability
- llms.txt guidance file, generated and kept current
- robots.txt directives for the AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and more)
- XML sitemap validation and submission
- Server-rendered content checks so engines can actually read your pages
Machine-readable structure
- Page titles and meta descriptions
- Open Graph and social card tags
- Canonical tags
- Structured data: Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, Product, FAQ, Article, Breadcrumb, Person
- FAQ answer blocks the engines can quote directly
- Heading hierarchy and image alt text

outcome, all tiers- Ongoing checks that you are being surfaced for the queries that matter, with the score and trend to prove it
What you actually do
Almost nothing. On Foundation you do nothing after connecting your site. On Grow you tap approve on each draft. On Scale you take the calls we book. The work is ours.
How we are different
Most AI-visibility tools are scoreboards. They tell you that you are losing and leave the fixing to you or your agency. BeFound does the fixing. That is the whole product.
