Hi Sumo-lings,

Sam here, founder of SiteBeacon. We've shipped a lot since launch, much of it straight from your feedback, so here's a roundup.

New and improved

• Your bonus credits now last. Lifetime credits refill on the 1st of every month, and your one-time bonus credits are now spent last. So they're never used up by your monthly credits, and they carry over every month until you need them. Your Account page shows your next refill date.

• Past searches reopen for free. Every search you run is saved for 30 days. Reopen it from Recent searches and keep working the list, at no extra credits.

• Proposals in your clients' language. Proposal PDFs now render in your outreach language, with full French and Italian page text. You can also pick a language per lead, which helps if you work with clients in more than one language.

• White-label scorecards on your own domain (Agency). Scorecards show only your branding and can be hosted on your own subdomain, like reports.youragency.com.

• Worldwide search. Any city or postal code that Google Maps covers.

• Clearer website labels. "No Site Listed" means the business has no website on its Google profile. Once Find Contact confirms there really is none, the label changes to "No Website ✓".

• Repeat API searches are free. If your agent or script runs the same search within 24 hours, you get the saved results back at no charge.

More than a lead list: the whole outreach workflow

Some of you told us you didn't realise SiteBeacon covers outreach, so here's what happens after the search:

• Find Contact: pulls the email from a lead's website, or finds their Facebook and Instagram and checks each page against the Google listing before calling it theirs.

• Outreach drafts for the right channel: email, Messenger, Instagram DM or a phone script, written from the lead's real gaps.

• Hosted scorecards: a shareable page showing the prospect what they're missing online.

• Built-in CRM: track every lead from discovered to won, with follow-ups queued and a do-not-contact list that never forgets a "no thanks".

"Can't I just ask ChatGPT?"

Fair question, and we hear it a lot. You can ask ChatGPT for plumbers in Austin without a website, but it can't actually check. Answering from memory or a quick web search, it guesses, and its lists often include businesses that have moved or closed.

SiteBeacon reads the live Google Business Profile of every result, so "No Site Listed" is a fact about the listing, not a guess. Find Contact then checks the business's own site, Facebook and Instagram, and matches each page to the Google listing before using it.

The bigger difference is what happens next: a drafted message for the right channel, a scorecard to send with it, and a CRM that tracks every lead to close. ChatGPT gives you a list. SiteBeacon gives you the list, the contact, the pitch and the pipeline.

Quick tip for better results

Specific categories beat broad ones. "Roofing contractor, Denver" finds more good leads than "roofer". If a search isn't giving you what you expected, write to support@sitebeacon.ai with the category and city you tried, and I'll help you get it right.

Thanks for building this with us. Keep the feedback coming; it's exactly how most of this list happened.

More people now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity for recommendations instead of scrolling Google. Which means there's a new question every local business should be asking: does AI even know I exist?

For most of your prospects, the answer is no. And now you can prove it.

Introducing the AI Recognition Report.

On any lead in SiteBeacon, run one report and we ask four leading AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity) what they actually know about that business, from memory, with web search turned off. You get:

Does AI recognize them? Model by model.

Do the models recommend them when someone asks for the best in their category and city, or do they name competitors instead?

A "Get Known" fix-it plan with paste-ready schema.org, an llms.txt file, and FAQ content that make the business learnable by AI.

It is the most honest door-opener we have built. You are not guessing. You can sit across from a prospect and show them, in black and white, that when their neighbor asks AI for a good {{category}}, the answer is their competitor.

Hi everyone,

First, a genuine thank you. We are only a few days into our AppSumo launch, and the feedback from this first group of buyers has already made SiteBeacon meaningfully better. I wanted to show you that we read every message and act on it fast.

Here is what shipped in just the last few days, driven directly by your feedback:

Worldwide coverage. One of you signed up from Spain and found that your market was not fully supported. That bothered me, so we rebuilt the location search. SiteBeacon now works just about anywhere Google Maps covers, so you can prospect any city or postal code in the world.

Better detection for European businesses. An agency in Italy pointed out that we were missing local aggregators like Quandoo, TheFork, EatBU, Deliveroo, Just Eat and Treatwell, which meant some of the best "no website" leads were slipping through. Those are now classified correctly, so the right leads land in your list.

Outreach in your language. The AI visibility check now runs in the language your customers actually use, so an agency serving an Italian market gets Italian results instead of English ones.

Clearer terms for agencies. A buyer rightly flagged that our Terms of Service read like generic boilerplate and did not reflect how agencies actually use the product. We rewrote them to clearly permit commercial and client work, which is exactly what SiteBeacon is built for.

API and MCP access, documented. For those of you who want to drive SiteBeacon from your own tools or from AI agents, the API and our open source MCP server are now fully documented at sitebeacon.ai/developers.

None of this would have happened this quickly without you taking the time to tell us what was wrong or missing. That is the whole reason we launched here: to build alongside the operators who use the product every day.

So please keep it coming. If something is broken, missing, or could be better, reply here or reach us at support@sitebeacon.ai. We are a small team, we read everything, and as you can see, we ship.

Thank you for betting on us early.
