The problem
Tired of agencies that ship reports instead of revenue?
Too many US service businesses lose a meaningful chunk of their marketing budget to vanity metrics, generalist playbooks, and black-box reporting. The fix is a specialized partner who measures in booked calls — not impressions.
Vanity metrics
Impressions, clicks, and DA scores that never tie back to your booked-revenue line.
Cookie-cutter playbooks
Tactics built for SaaS or e-commerce that ignore how service buyers actually research and choose.
Black-box reporting
Monthly PDFs nobody reads, account managers who never owned the work, and zero AI search visibility.
What we do
How does Foundgrove generate leads from search and AI?
Foundgrove generates leads through three integrated services: SEO (including GEO and AEO for AI search), paid ads on Google and Meta, and conversion-focused website builds on Next.js. We combine keyword research, schema markup, content production, ad management, and CRO into a single revenue engine — so your business shows up in Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, then converts visitors into booked calls.

Why Foundgrove
Why pick a specialized lead-gen agency over a generalist?
Generalist agencies build playbooks for SaaS or e-commerce that ignore how US service-business buyers actually research and choose. Foundgrove focuses only on US service businesses, only on retainers we can defend with attribution, and only when we believe we can move the revenue line in 90 days. Here are the top five reasons service businesses pick us.
1. Service-business specialization
Deep operator knowledge of service-business marketing — we turn down work outside our wheelhouse.
2. Senior-only staffing
Every account is led by a senior strategist — no junior account managers, no offshore content mills, no PDFs in lieu of progress.
3. AI search visibility built in
We optimize for Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini from day one — not as a paid add-on.
4. Revenue-line attribution
Live Looker Studio dashboards tying leads to booked calls and closed revenue.
5. Transparent pricing and contracts
Published pricing, no setup fees, month-to-month — cancel anytime, no minimum, no lock-in. See our pricing page for full numbers.
