New: AI search is now how customers find you

Don't get left behind — get discovered by AI.

When someone asks ChatGPT for the best plumber in your city — do they hear your name?

AI assistants now answer "who's the best __ near me" — and they only name a handful of businesses. Find out if yours is one of them. Free, instant, no signup.

Your customers stopped Googling. They're asking AI.

When someone types "best electrician near me" into ChatGPT or asks Google AI for a recommendation, the AI gives one answer — not ten blue links. If your business isn't in that answer, that customer goes elsewhere. You never even knew they were looking.

45%of consumers now use AI assistants for local recommendations — up from 6% just a year ago
~1%of local businesses are actually recommended by ChatGPT for their trade and city
1.5B+"near me" searches per month, rapidly shifting from Google to AI
36MUS small businesses competing for the AI recommendation — most don't know they're losing

AI picks winners and ignores everyone else

ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews name 2–4 businesses per query — and the rest are invisible. There's no "page 2" for AI answers.

Traditional SEO isn't enough anymore

Ranking on Google's blue links doesn't guarantee AI will cite you. AI draws from different signals: schema, citations, review velocity, and authoritative mentions.

Your competitors are figuring this out

The businesses that optimize for AI visibility now will own the #1 AI recommendation in their city for years. The window to get there first is open — but not forever.

From invisible to recommended — in three steps

No marketing degree required. Beacon handles the measurement, the strategy, and optionally the execution.

Frequently asked questions

AI visibility measures how often and how prominently AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI recommend your business when customers ask questions like "best plumber near me." As more people skip Google and go straight to AI for local recommendations, being cited by AI is becoming as important as ranking on the first page of search results — and in many ways more valuable, because the AI gives one confident answer instead of ten links.
Your free AI Visibility Score (0–100), a per-engine breakdown across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI, a look at which competitors AI recommends instead of you, and your top 3 prioritized fixes. No account or credit card needed — just your business name, trade, and city.
Traditional SEO tools optimize for Google's blue-link rankings. AI search engines use different signals — structured schema data, citation consistency across directories, review velocity, FAQ content that matches how people phrase questions to AI, and authoritative third-party mentions. Beacon is purpose-built to measure and improve these AI-specific signals, not repurposed SEO software.
We build you a fast, AI-optimized website and host it on our infrastructure. Hosting is included at no extra charge while you're on a Starter ($49/mo) or Pro ($149/mo) plan. If you're on the website add-on only (no monitoring plan), hosting is $29/mo. You can connect your own custom domain at no extra cost.
Yes. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time with no cancellation fees. You'll retain access until the end of your paid period. One-time add-ons (website, Google Maps Concierge) are non-refundable once work has begun, but there's no ongoing commitment.
The free check is instant — under 30 seconds. After you implement Beacon's recommended fixes (or we implement them for you), AI visibility typically starts improving within 2–6 weeks as AI models re-crawl and update their training signals. Weekly monitoring shows your progress over time.
Any local service business: plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, roofers, dentists, med spas, lawyers, restaurants, hair salons, auto repair shops, real estate agents, photographers, and more. If customers in your city search for your trade, Beacon can measure and improve your AI visibility for those searches.
