Found on Google and ChatGPT.

Found is how Doorstep gets local businesses found on Google and recommended by AI assistants like ChatGPT. We research what your customers search and ask, see who wins and why, then set up your Business Profile, listings and pages to compete. It's included in Growth and Lead Engine, and you can keep it going monthly.

How the setup works

What happens when we set you up?

We start with a Search Map: the searches your best customers type, who wins them, and what AI assistants say when asked the same questions. Then we fix what stands between you and those customers.

Google's own guidance says AI answers run on its core search ranking, so good local SEO is good AI visibility. We do both properly once, then keep it going if you want.
  1. Search MapThe searches your best customers use, who wins them, and the gaps they leave.
  2. Found on GoogleYour Business Profile tuned up, Bing Places claimed, the main directories cleaned up so your details match everywhere.
  3. Picked by AISet up so ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity can find and recommend you.
  4. Every month, if you want itNew answers to the questions your customers ask, Google posts, a review drive, and a one-page report: calls, clicks, enquiries and where AI recommends you.

The Found Promise

We promise the work, not rankings.

  1. Work done, or the month is freeIf we don't deliver the month's work, you don't pay for that month.
  2. A 90-day checkAt 90 days we compare your six numbers with day 0. If none has improved, month four is free.
  3. Every month, if you want itFound Monthly adds two new answer pages, two Google posts and a review drive each month, with your report by the 5th working day.
Bought linksPaid or swapped links break Google's rules and can sink a site.
AI fillerNo mass-produced articles. Every page answers a real customer question.
Fake reviewsReview requests go to every customer. No gating, no incentives.
Ranking promisesNobody controls Google. We promise the work and show the numbers.

Getting found, answered.

Can you guarantee I'll rank first on Google?

No, and nobody honestly can. We promise the work instead: if we don't deliver it in any month, that month is free. You see six numbers every month so you can judge the results yourself.

How does ChatGPT decide which businesses to recommend?

ChatGPT search draws on its own index plus Google results, Google Maps, Yelp and Tripadvisor. So the same things that help on Google help in ChatGPT: a complete Business Profile, reviews, matching listings and clear pages about what you do and where.

Do I need a new website to get found?

No. If your website already works, we can set up Found on its own: your Business Profile, listings, schema and a plan for the pages you're missing.

Do you need my Google password?

Never. You add us as a manager on your Business Profile and a user in Search Console, and you can remove us at any time.

How long does Found Monthly run?

Found Monthly runs for a minimum of six months, because search takes time to move. At 90 days we compare your six numbers with day 0. If none of them has improved, month four is free.

What are the six numbers?

Your positions for the searches we track, how often AI assistants recommend you, Business Profile calls, clicks and directions, Search Console clicks, website enquiries, and reviews.

Who does ChatGPT name for you?
