BeaconSites is a team of AI search optimization specialists based in Dublin, Ireland, working with US service businesses — with a particular focus on foundation repair and waterproofing contractors. We turn your expertise into content in eight formats, distribute it across 300+ media sites, including US news outlets, and check every month whether the AI engines name you.
Your next customer asks AI before they call anyone
When a homeowner spots a crack in a basement wall or water after a storm, the first stop is increasingly a question to ChatGPT or Google's AI Mode: who should I call? The engine answers with two or three names. If yours isn't one of them, you never get the chance to quote.
AI engines don't pick those names from your ads. They recommend the businesses they can read clearly and that other trusted sources keep mentioning. That is what AI search optimization builds.
Built for foundation repair and waterproofing contractors
Foundation and waterproofing jobs are high-value and trust-sensitive, so homeowners research before they let anyone near the house. That research is moving into AI answers, and most contractors have nothing there for the engines to cite.
Paid leads from Google Ads and lead marketplaces stop the day you stop paying. Expert content published across independent media sites keeps working, because it is the evidence AI engines use when they decide who to recommend.
We also work with other US service businesses — trades, home services, professional services and B2B service firms — where customers research before they buy.
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, including US news outlets such as Business Insider, 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.
Working with a team in Dublin
Everything is delivered remotely, and you work with the same team from the first call to every monthly report. Dublin is five hours ahead of US Eastern time, so our afternoon overlaps your morning, and calls are booked at a time that suits you.
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 US businesses from Ireland?
Yes. BeaconSites is based in Dublin and works with businesses in the US, the UK and Ireland. Everything is delivered remotely, and calls are booked at a time that suits you.
How do you get a contractor recommended by ChatGPT?
AI engines recommend businesses they can read and that other sources vouch for. We publish your expertise in eight formats across 300+ media sites so the engines find consistent, independent evidence about your business, and we make sure your website states clearly what you do and where you work.
Then we track it. Every month we check whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI name you for the questions your customers ask.
How is this different from Google Ads or lead marketplaces?
Ads and paid leads stop the moment you stop paying, and every competitor can buy the same clicks. Coverage across independent media sites builds up over time, and it is what AI engines draw on when they recommend a contractor.
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.
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 homeowners ask AI who to call, every month without coverage widens the gap. Book a 30-minute discovery call and we'll show you where your business stands today.
