How is AI changing the way we create?
From drafting first ideas in seconds to powering multilingual content and data-driven personalization, generative AI is reshaping how marketers think about creativity and scale.

At Foundery, we see AI not as a replacement for human insight, but as a tool that helps strategy, storytelling, and brand voice work smarter together.

Keep Your Brand Facts Straight in the Age of AI

AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity are now a first stop for customers. If those tools pull outdated or wrong info about your business, that’s the story people will believe.

✅ Check your own channels: Website, social, Google Business, contact info, bios.

✅ Check third parties: Review sites, media mentions, directories.

✅ Fix the gaps: Update, correct, and align.

👉 In an AI-first search world, your reputation depends on accurate, consistent data everywhere it lives.

Google’s AI-generated summaries are pushing traditional results further down and changing how people search. Users are no longer clicking to explore, they are scanning and moving on.

The takeaway? Rankings still matter, but the rules have changed.
With Query Fan-Out, Google’s AI looks at clusters of related queries not just one keyword. That means your content needs to go deeper, answering multiple angles of intent to earn visibility in AI Overviews.

It is not about chasing keywords anymore. It is about understanding user intent at every stage of the journey.
