Welcome to Barketing Beacon
Let's set up your business profile so every scan, action plan and Coach tip is tailored to you. It only takes a minute — you can change any of it later in Settings.
Step 1 of 4Basics
Phone & owner name strengthen your business identity (NAP) and let the Coach suggest Person schema for your bio page.
This pins your exact Google listing so the Reviews tab shows your real rating — needed for home-based & mobile businesses, which Google hides from address searches. How to find it: open the Google Place ID Finder, search your business, and copy the ChIJ… code. You can always add this later in Settings.
Your AI visibility at a glance, across every platform you've tested.
Run your first scan to see your visibility overview.
AI Knowledge Check
Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity what they know about your business. Flags if AI has wrong info, outdated details, or doesn't know you exist yet.
AI Visibility Scanner
Run real queries across ChatGPT, Google AI, Claude & Perplexity to see if your business gets mentioned. Every scan saves to your dashboard automatically.
Set up your business profile in Settings first.
AI platforms to test
?
Where does each AI get its information?
Claude — Claude Sonnet 4.6
Answers from its training data — what it learned up to its knowledge cutoff. It does not search the internet during a scan. This tests whether your business has built enough of an online presence to be recognised by AI from its training alone. Good for measuring long-term brand awareness.
ChatGPT — GPT-4o Search
Searches the web live before answering, the same way a real user experiences ChatGPT. Results reflect what is actually findable online right now — your website, Google Business Profile, reviews, and directory listings all feed into this. Note: the tool scans without a specific location, so results may vary slightly from a search done on a device with location turned on.
Google AI — Gemini 2.5 Flash
Powered by Google Search grounding — the same technology behind Google AI Overviews. When a pet owner Googles "best dog walker near me" and sees an AI answer at the top of the results page, that's powered by Gemini. This is the most important platform for local search visibility. Pets & Animals is one of the top sectors for Google AI Overviews, appearing in 37% of searches in this category.
Perplexity — Sonar Pro
Searches the web in real time. Popular with people doing deeper research into local services. A strong score here means your business appears across the online sources that AI search engines index — directories, reviews, your website, and third-party mentions.
Prompts to test
Custom prompts are saved automatically and will appear in your list next time.
Scanning across every AI platform — this usually takes a few minutes (often 3–6). Your results save automatically, so you can leave this open or come back later.

AI mention share — who AI leans on in your market
Real data from DataForSEO's AI-answer corpus: when people ask AI about your service, these are the websites the AI actually cites — ranked by how often they come up, with your own site highlighted. Structured and historical, independent of your own scans — the hard-data companion to the live discovery below. Covers ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.

Suggested FAQs
From your data
Generate a distinct set of FAQs — with ready-to-publish answers and schema — for each of your service and location pages. Pick a service and/or location, publish its FAQs, then come back for the next. Braided from where AI didn't mention you, the follow-up questions AI raises, and the pages AI already crawls.
Which page are these FAQs for?
Pick a specific service or “All services”, and a specific location or “Whole service area”. For example: one service across your whole area (a service page), all services in one location (a location page), or a specific service in one place.
One page per generation — publish its FAQs, then pick the next combination for your next page. (Options come from your Settings.)
Analysing your AI visibility…
Before you publish: these are AI-drafted sample answers to get you started. Review and personalize each one — add your real pricing, service details, and your own voice — before posting them to your site.
Business Identity
Does AI actually know who you are? This checks that your business identity — name, phone, website, category and service area — is clear and consistent across the sources AI trusts to recognise a business, then scores it and hands you a prioritised fix list.

Page Analyzer

Your business profile is used across all scans and your dashboard.
Business profile
Other names AI might use for your business — abbreviations, names with/without extra words. Comma-separated. The scan will count a mention of any of these as a hit.
Where clients book or reach you — helps AI point people to the right next step. Phone & owner name also strengthen your business identity (NAP) and let the Coach suggest Person schema for your bio page.
This is the main city used in your AI scan queries.
The first service you tick is used as your primary type in scan prompts.
Use this if your business type isn't in the list above. Added to your services and used in scan prompts. If nothing is ticked above, the first one here becomes your primary type.
List the towns and neighbourhoods you serve, separated by commas. This helps AI platforms understand your coverage area, powers location-specific content recommendations, and drives your town-by-town rank map on the Local tab (each town is checked with its own keyword).
This pins your exact Google listing so the Reviews tab shows your real rating and reviews — needed for home-based and mobile businesses, which Google hides from address searches.
How to find yours: open the Google Place ID Finder, type your business name in the map's search box (or click your pin on the map), and copy the ChIJ… code it shows you. Paste it above and save.
