When someone asks ChatGPT for the best plumber in town, do you come up?
Beacon asks ChatGPT and Google's AI the questions your customers ask — thirteen different ways — and tells you straight: how often you came up, who came up instead, what's written about you that's wrong, and what to fix this week. No rankings, no promises. Just the honest answer.

The numbers
People using AI to help pick a local business — up from 6% one year ago.
Local businesses ChatGPT actually recommends. Almost everyone is invisible.
Owners who checked and found wrong information about their business in AI answers.
How much better an AI-referred visitor converts than an average one.
And the honest one: AI referrals are still a small share of most websites' traffic today. This is early. That's exactly why the founding price below exists.
How it works
We ask the AIs the way your customers do: "best plumber near me," "who can fix a burst pipe today in [your town]" — thirteen different questions, many times each.
You see the honest answer: how often you came up ("appeared in 3 of 65 asks" — never a made-up rank), who else got named, and what AI says about you that's wrong.
A short weekly to-do list in plain language, with the words already written. Then we re-check and show you what changed.
What we won't tell you
We will never give you a "rank." AI answers change day to day — anyone selling you position #1 is guessing.
We will never promise that a fix caused a result. We show you before and after; you judge.
We won't pretend this is bigger than it is. AI referrals are small today and growing fast. You're early — that's the point.
The scan is free. Beacon Pro is $49 a month — locked.
Your scan and visibility check are free, always. Beacon Pro adds the weekly check and fix list, done-for-you fixes, and proof of what AI sends to your site — $49/month for founding members, locked in for as long as you stay. It'll be $99 for people who join later, because later costs more, not because a timer runs out. Cancel anytime in one click — no contract.
Founding members get a founder who actually answers. Tell me what's confusing and I'll fix it.

Maybe it plateaus — nobody knows. What we do know: use of AI to pick local businesses went from 6% to 45% of consumers in one year (BrightLocal), and the answers about your business exist right now whether you look or not. Of the owners who did look, 40% found something wrong. The check is free, so the cost of finding out is fifteen minutes. If it turns out AI never matters for your business, you're out nothing and you learned something.
Good — that's the best source there is, and Beacon doesn't touch it. But word of mouth has a second step now: the referred customer looks you up before calling, and more of them are asking AI when they do. Beacon just checks whether that machine version of word of mouth tells the truth about you. If your referrals are checking you and reading something wrong, you'd want to know.
They promise to get you to #1 and can't prove they did it. We don't promise a rank — we can't, and honestly neither can they. We show you in plain writing what happened: you appeared in 3 of 65 asks, here's what's wrong in what AI says, here's what got fixed this week. If your numbers don't move, you'll see that too, in the same report. The difference is that we'll tell you the part that isn't working.
Straight answer: this is early. AI-referred visitors are still a small slice of most websites' traffic — call it low single digits at best right now — though the ones who do come convert around 4.4x better than average (Semrush). What we can prove today is exactly what AI says about you, that some of it's wrong, and which fixes got done. We log your before-and-after so you can judge for yourself over time. What we won't do is claim our fixes caused a change we can't trace — anyone who claims that is guessing, and you've met those guys.
