Your website was built for Google. It needs to be ready for ChatGPT.
BeaconBird checks if your website is ready to be found, understood, and recommended by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI. The audit is free. We'll show you exactly what's working and what isn't.
Run my free audit →The shift, in plain English.
When your website was built, the goal was simple: rank in Google. That world is going away. More and more people skip Google entirely — they ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity, "Who's the best [thing] near me?" AI lands on two or three names. Those become the recommendation. If your site doesn't speak AI's language, you're invisible.
That's where BeaconBird comes in. We take a bird's-eye view of your site, find the gaps AI can't see past, and rebuild the technical foundation so your business shows up in the answer.
How it works
No technical knowledge needed. The whole thing takes about a minute.
Drop in your website address.
No login, no signup, no credit card. Just paste your URL and email. The whole thing takes about 30 seconds and our report gets sent straight to your inbox.
We check what AI sees.
Behind the scenes, we run 50+ checks the AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI — use to decide which businesses to recommend. Most websites weren't built for any of them.
You get a plain-English report.
An email arrives with your Beacon Score and a clear breakdown — what's working, what isn't, and a one-time fix quote if you need one. If you're already in good shape, we'll tell you plainly.
Start with a free audit.
Paste your website address below. We'll check it the way an AI does, then send you a Beacon Score and a plain-English report — what's working, what isn't, and what (if anything) needs fixing. The whole thing takes about a minute.
Anyone can run it. On any site. It's free.
The numbers behind the shift
"Assume there's no search. Plan your business as if search is zero."— Roger Lynch, CEO of Condé Nast (Vogue, GQ, The New Yorker, Wired)
If the CEO of the largest media company in the world is telling his teams to plan as if Google sends them zero traffic, it's worth asking what that means for the rest of us.
If your score is low, we'll fix it.
Most websites built before 2025 are missing the pieces AI needs to understand and recommend a business. BeaconBird puts those pieces in place — the page tagging, the machine-readable business information, the image descriptions, the AI-bot access, the dozens of small details that determine whether a site gets mentioned. One time, flat fee, no subscription.
- A before score — where your site is perched today.
- The full technical fix, done by us.
- An after score — designed to land in the 90s.
- A detailed PDF showing exactly what we changed and why.

Common questions
How long does the process take?
Once you see your audit and request to work with us, we will contact you within one business day. From there, once we have the access we need to work on your site, the project is typically complete within 5–7 business days. Smaller sites can move faster.
What does your team need from us to do the work?
Admin access to your website (WordPress login and hosting credentials), plus answers to a short intake form covering business basics — hours, service area, founding year, key people. We need those to build your schema markup correctly.
We won't need any copywriting or new content from your team. Just access and a few quick answers.
Do you guarantee we'll be recommended by ChatGPT or other AIs?
We do not. No one can control what ChatGPT and other AIs recommend.
What we do guarantee is the technical fix — your site will be properly AI-readable and structured for recommendation. Whether an AI actually recommends you also depends on factors outside the technical foundation: content quality, your reputation across the web (such as reviews), and the specific question being asked.
Is this just SEO with a new name?
No. SEO optimizes for Google rankings. BeaconBird optimizes for whether AI systems can read and confidently recommend your site. This is commonly becoming known as GEO (Generative Engine Optimization).
There's overlap — both benefit from clean structure — but the goals are different.
Will this affect our Google rankings?
Positively, in most cases. The technical work we do — schema markup, clean meta tags, proper headings, structured data — is the same foundation Google has been rewarding for years. Several of our clients see SEO bumps as a side effect.
How much does the fix cost?
It depends on the size and shape of your site — number of pages, complexity of the business, what's already in place. Your audit report includes a custom fix quote.
We charge a one time, flat rate fee for our work. No hourly billing. No surprises. Best of all, no subscriptions.
Do you offer ongoing service or maintenance?
No. BeaconBird is intentionally one-time. We do the technical fix, hand you the PDF showing what we changed and why, and you're done.
If AI standards shift meaningfully down the road (and at some point, we're sure that it will... this technology is moving pretty fast), you can re-engage with another audit.
