BeaconSites is a team of AI search optimisation specialists based in Dublin, working with service businesses across the United Kingdom. We turn your expertise into content in eight formats, distribute it across 300+ media sites and check every month whether the AI engines name you — from the same time zone as you.
Your next client asks AI before they search
Buyers who once typed a query into Google and scrolled now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Mode to recommend someone. The engine answers with a shortlist of two or three names. If yours isn't on it, you never hear about the enquiry.
AI engines don't build that shortlist from your adverts. They recommend the businesses they can read clearly and that other trusted sources keep mentioning. That is what AI search optimisation builds.
Who we work with in the UK
Professional services firms — solicitors, accountants, consultancies and advisers — whose clients research carefully and judge on credibility. Trades and home-services businesses, where customers want a trusted name before they let anyone into the house.
B2B service firms, whose buyers increasingly ask AI to shortlist suppliers before they ever fill in a contact form. In every case, the work is the same: give the engines consistent, independent evidence that you are the right answer.
How the system works
Answers. We turn your expertise into content built around the questions your buyers ask AI, published in eight formats: news article, blog post, long-form and short-form video, social post, slideshow, podcast and infographic.
Authority. That content is distributed across 300+ media sites, so the engines find consistent evidence about your business beyond your own website.
Proof. Every month we check whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode name you, and adjust from there. Foundation. If your website makes that hard for the engines, we fix it or rebuild it — but the website is never the whole job.
A team next door, in your time zone
Ireland and the UK share a time zone all year round, so calls, reviews and monthly reports happen in your working day. Everything is delivered remotely, and you work with the same team from the first call onwards.
Proof, on our own business first.
We tested the system on BeaconSites itself: one expert article, syndicated through our distribution network on 27 July 2026. This is what the AI engines did next.

Common questions
Do you work with UK businesses from Ireland?
Yes. BeaconSites is based in Dublin and works with businesses in the UK, Ireland and the US. We share a time zone with the UK, everything is delivered remotely, and calls are booked at a time that suits you.
Is this the same as AI SEO, AEO or GEO?
Those are all names for parts of the same goal: getting your business mentioned in the answers AI engines give. AI SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) usually describe changes to your website. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) covers the structure that makes content quotable.
We do that work, but the part most providers skip is coverage beyond your own website — expert content distributed across 300+ media sites — because that is what AI engines rely on when they decide who to recommend.
How long does it take to get cited by AI search engines?
It varies by engine and by how much is already written about your business. Engines that search the web live, such as Gemini, Google AI Mode and Copilot, can respond within days of new coverage — our own campaign was cited by all three within 16 hours of launch, and ChatGPT followed at about 36 hours.
That was a best case, not a promise. We track citations monthly so you can see what is and isn't moving.
How do you measure results?
Every month we run the questions your customers ask through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, and record whether you are named, where, and alongside whom. You see the movement, not a ranking report.
Do I need a new website?
Not necessarily. Our AI Visibility Audit shows where you stand across the AI engines today and whether your current website is holding you back. Some sites need small fixes; others justify a rebuild. The audit tells you which.
If competitors are already being named when your buyers ask AI for a recommendation, every month without coverage widens the gap. Book a 30-minute discovery call and we'll show you where your business stands today.
