FoundWell vs doing SEO yourself with ChatGPT
You can do SEO, AEO and GEO yourself with ChatGPT or Claude. The writing is the easy part. The hard part is everything around it, done every week for months.
One week of SEO, AEO and GEO
Your list, every week
- Export Search Console data and paste it into ChatGPT
- Ask which pages need work, then fix them in your CMS
- Pick the next topic and write the prompt
- Check the draft against your real prices and facts
- Publish it, with a title, description and internal links
- Find the pages Google hasn't indexed
- Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google about your business
- Fix the pages behind the answers they got wrong
- Look up what your competitors published
Next week, the same list again.

- Search Console synced, every day
- Site audited and fixed, every day
- New articles written from your facts and published
- Indexing checked and fixed

Your part: read the weekly report.

Why most people stop
Most people who try it keep it up for a few weeks and then stop. The work is monotonous: check the search data, write the next article, fix pages, ask AI assistants about you, week after week. Results only come from doing it for months. FoundWell does the same work every day, and never gets bored or too busy.
