First, we check who gets named instead of you.
When someone nearby looks for what you sell, Google and Maps show a few businesses first. The check shows you which ones, and why.
- You tell me what your customers search forLike "dog groomer near Cazenovia". One search is enough. I add the others, up to 10.
- I run them where your customers lookGoogle, Google Maps and AI tools like ChatGPT.
- You get your screenshots and a one-page scoreboardAs a short PDF by email, within 2 working days. It shows where you are named and who is named instead.

Konstantin Kaufmann, from New Woodstock
I live in New Woodstock and help local businesses get found on Google and Maps. When you call or write, you talk to me.
Get Found in CNY is new, so I have no client results to show you yet. That is why everything starts with the $150 check: you see your own screenshots and get 3 fixes you can use, even if you stop there.
Send me your search
Write one search your customers use, like "gift shop in Cazenovia". I reply with the invoice for the $150 check, and your result comes by email within 2 working days of payment. If you have a question, I answer within 1 working day.

Questions owners ask before they start
Do I need a new website?
No. The check and Local Start work with the website you have, or with none. If your site gets in the way, Found includes a new one.
What does ChatGPT have to do with my business?
People now ask ChatGPT or Google "where can I get my dog groomed near Cazenovia?". The answer names a few businesses. The check shows whether yours is one of them.
Will you post on my Instagram or Facebook?
No. Your social media stays in your hands and your voice.
How do I pay?
I send you an invoice by email. When you have paid the set-up, I start. The monthly fee comes as an invoice each month.
Can we talk on the phone?
Yes. Call me any time: (315) 962-1030. Everything also comes in writing, so you never need to take notes.
Can you promise I will be first?
No one can. Google and AI answers change every day. I promise the work and the monthly screenshots, so you see what changed.
How much of my time does it take?
One email to start. Then you add me as a manager of your Google profile, in 4 clicks, which you can undo at any time. After that, about 10 minutes a month to read the screenshots.
