What is a Foundation audit?

A Foundation audit is a free, strategist-led review of how visible your brand is where B2B buyers make decisions: AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, Google’s AI Overviews, Reddit, YouTube, earned media and paid channels. Each audit benchmarks you against three competitors, uses your buyers’ real questions, and ends with a prioritized 90-day roadmap of what to do next.
