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 [email protected]. We are a small team, we read everything, and as you can see, we ship.

Thank you for betting on us early.
