Most owners have never seen how an AI engine describes their business. They know their search rankings, roughly. They know their review score, roughly. But ask them what ChatGPT says when a buyer in their city asks who to call, and the honest answer is that they have no idea. The engines are already talking about their business, or worse, not mentioning it at all, and nobody is watching.
The engines are already talking about your business, or worse, not mentioning it at all, and nobody is watching.
Beacon Audits exists to fix that in about 60 seconds, for free. It is a scan of how your business actually shows up where buyers actually look, and it ends with a plain scorecard, not a sales call.
What the audit measures
The scan covers six areas, because being found is a chain and every link in it matters.
The first three cover visibility itself. Your SEO footprint: how your site stands in classic search, which still feeds everything else. GEO, your presence across the AI answer engines: when we ask the engines the questions your buyers ask, does your name come up? And AEO, answer scoring: when you do come up, how good is the answer? Accurate, well cited, ahead of your competitors, or a vague afterthought?
The other three cover the ground game. Your Google Business Profile: complete, consistent with your website, telling the same story. Reviews and reputation: volume, recency, and what your reviews actually give the engines to cite. And phone and call handling: whether the number a buyer reaches actually gets answered, because visibility that rings out is a lead lost at the last step.
Alongside the scores, the report names who wins the questions you lose. Not a generic list of big brands, but the competitors the engines actually recommend instead of you. For most owners this is the most clarifying page in the whole report.
How it runs
The intake is three fields: your business name, your website, and the email where the report should land. There is an optional one-line description of what you do, which helps us ask the engines sharper questions. That is the whole form. No card, no phone number, no meeting booked on your calendar.
When you start the audit, we probe the engines with real buyer prompts and score what comes back, live. The checklist on screen walks through the six areas as they finish, and the whole run takes about 60 seconds.
We sent you a Beacon
When the scan finishes, the report does not appear on the page. It arrives by email, with one button labeled Open. We call it sending you a Beacon, and it is how everything in the product delivers.
The Open button leads to your full report at a private link. The address contains a long token that acts as the key: it is not indexed, not listed anywhere, and not guessable. The link in your email is the only way in, so treat it like a password. If you want a business partner or your marketing person to see the report, forward the email.
What it costs, and the honest catch
The audit is free. Not free-trial free, not free-with-a-pitch free. You run it, you read your report, and that can be the end of the relationship.
The honest catch is that the audit is also how we introduce the rest of what we build. When the report shows a gap, there is usually a product that closes it, starting with the AI Visibility Dashboard at $25 a month, which turns the one-time snapshot into a monthly discipline: one deep report every month, 40 buyer prompts across every connected engine, scored and tracked over time. There are others, for reviews, for call handling, for your web presence. You will see them priced plainly, and the rule we hold ourselves to is simple: add a product only when the gap it closes is worth more than it costs.
But the report is the product today, and it stands on its own. Run it, read it, and you will know more about how buyers find you than most of your competitors know about themselves.
