You're Losing Customers You Never Even Met.

There's no notification when it happens. No email, no missed call showing up in your phone. Somewhere today, someone in your area asked an AI tool for exactly what you offer, and a name got said out loud. If it wasn't yours, you'll never know that moment even happened.

That's the part that gets me. You can lose a customer you never met, to a business that isn't better than you, and nobody tells you it happened.

Do the maths on what that actually costs you. Say your average customer is worth $300. If AI quietly sends just one customer a month to someone else instead of you, that's $3,600 a year, gone, with nothing to show for it and no idea it even happened. Two customers a month, and you're past $7,000. And that's before counting every referral that customer would have sent you too.

This isn't a someday problem. It's happening today, and it keeps happening every day you leave it alone.

Here's what changes the moment you decide to fix it. You'll see exactly what AI is saying about your industry right now, in plain screenshots, no guessing. You'll know precisely why your name isn't in that answer. And you'll have someone walking you through fixing it, step by step, until it is.

You don't need to understand AI. You don't need to figure this out alone. You just need to decide it's worth knowing, starting now.

Search Changed. Most Trade Businesses Haven't.

Ten years of SEO advice was written for a page of blue links. That page is now a paragraph, written by a model that read your website, your reviews and your competitors, and picked one answer.

Generative Engine Optimisation is how you get into that paragraph. Same discipline, different reader.

Find out where you stand. Free.

Tell me your trade and your suburb. I'll run the same six-platform test I run for clients and send you the screenshots. No charge, no call.

See where you show up

If your current agency already has this handled, you don't need me. The test will tell you either way.

Our Process

Five Steps. No Mystery Retainers.

You see the test before you pay, and you see the same test again afterwards. That's the whole promise.

Sean Chandiwana Founder, BeFoundHQ
About Us

You're Dealing With Me, Not A Call Centre.

My name is Sean and BeFoundHQ is mine. When you ring the number on this site, I answer it. When your report lands, I wrote it. There is no account manager between us and no offshore team quietly doing the work.

I started this because I kept watching good trade businesses lose work to whoever the AI happened to name, not the better operator, just the one whose website the model could actually read. That gap is fixable, and almost nobody in the trades has closed it yet.

So the deal is simple: you see the test before you spend anything, you get told plainly what I find, and you can walk away at the end of any month. If I can't help you, I'll say so.

Book The Free Check. Fifteen Minutes.

We run your trade and your suburb through the six major AI platforms while you watch, and send you the screenshots either way. If you already rank, we'll tell you that and leave you alone.
