FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

Everything you'd want to know about how AI visibility work actually works, what it costs, and what we do and don't guarantee.

Is this just SEO with a new name?

They overlap but aren't the same. Classic SEO earns rankings in a list of links. Answer engine optimization earns citations inside AI-generated answers — which depends on structured data, entity consistency, third-party corroboration, and content written so a machine can quote it confidently. We do both, because AI engines still lean heavily on search signals.

Can you guarantee my business shows up in ChatGPT?

No — and you should be skeptical of anyone who guarantees placement in systems they don't control. What we can do is measure exactly where you stand, fix every signal within your control, and show you the movement month over month.

How fast will I see results?

The audit gives you the truth in about two weeks. Visibility improvements typically build over one to two quarters as AI engines re-crawl and re-weigh sources — local categories with weak competition often move faster.

Do you work outside Orlando?

Orlando and Central Florida are home base, and local businesses are our specialty. We take remote engagements across Florida when the fit is right.

Who's behind AnswerFoundry?

AnswerFoundry LLC is an Orlando-based consultancy founded by Kenny Chantasi, built on a simple premise: the businesses that win the next decade are the ones AI engines trust enough to recommend.

What's the difference between the free Snapshot and the paid Audit?

The Snapshot is a quick, limited check — enough to know if there's a real gap worth investigating. The Foundry Audit is the full diagnosis across every platform, with a prioritized 90-day plan and a call to walk through it.

What do you need from me to get started?

Access to your website (or your web developer's contact), your Google Business Profile, and 20 minutes for a discovery call. That's it to start the audit.

Is this a one-time service or ongoing?

Both, depending on what you need. The Foundry Audit is one-time — a full diagnosis and prioritized plan. Forge & Monitor is ongoing, for businesses that want the fixes implemented and tracked month over month rather than handed off as a checklist.

How is progress measured?

We re-test the same prompts across AI platforms on a regular cadence, track whether your business appears and how it's described, and report the movement in plain-English monthly reports (for Forge & Monitor clients) rather than a single one-time score.

Can you implement the recommendations, or just report on them?

We can do both. The Foundry Audit gives you the findings and a plan either way; Forge & Monitor is for businesses that want us doing the implementation work directly.

Is there a minimum contract term?

Forge & Monitor and Category Leader have a 3-month minimum term — enough time to actually implement fixes and see whether they're moving the needle. After that, it's month-to-month with 30 days' notice to cancel. The Foundry Audit is one-time and non-refundable once delivered, since it's a completed diagnostic report rather than an ongoing service.
