BeaconSites is a Dublin-based AI-native Digital Marketing Agency. We build websites that are engineered for both Google and AI search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot.
Designed for Irish SMEs — trades, professional services, local retail, and B2B service businesses — to bring in real enquiries.
Whether your customers find you by searching Google or by asking ChatGPT "who's the best plumber in Drumcondra," we make sure your business is the answer.
Builds from €699 (small brochure site) to €29,999.
Up until a couple of years ago, if someone in Dublin needed an accountant, they typed "accountant Dublin" into Google and picked from the top three results.
In 2026, they're just as likely to open ChatGPT or Perplexity and ask "who's the best accountant in Rathmines?" The AI gives them an answer with two or three businesses cited — and that's the shortlist.
If your website wasn't built for AI engines to read, your business isn't in that answer. Pew Research found 1 in 5 Google searches already produces an AI summary — and when one appears, only 8% of users click through to a traditional link. We're already seeing it in every Search Console report across Irish business sites.
This isn't a 2030 problem. It's happening now.
Every BeaconSites build comes with access to a publishing engine no other Dublin agency has. Our in-house content system produces AEO-optimised expert content, transforms each piece into eight distribution formats, and publishes each format where it actually belongs — including up to 800 news syndication sites, the leading platforms for video, podcast, and social, and the AI engines your customers are now asking.
Trained on, cited by, and surfaced through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews — the systems quietly replacing the Google search box.

Dublin-based, working with Irish SMEs from 77 Camden Street.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) is the engineering work that makes websites quotable by AI search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot. It includes schema markup, citation-friendly structure, FAQ formatting, llms.txt, and E-E-A-T signals. A growing share of Irish business enquiries now originate in AI search, and websites without AEO are invisible to that traffic.
For Irish SMEs, a properly-built business website ranges from €699 (a small brochure site for sole traders or trades) to €29,999 (a custom enterprise build with advanced AEO). Most small businesses land between €1,299 and €9,999. The price reflects scope, complexity, integrations, and whether AEO is engineered in from day one. Full breakdown in our 2026 pricing guide.
Both are options. Start with our AI Visibility Audit (from €299) — a one-off report that shows exactly where your current website stands across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot, with prioritised fixes. Some sites need only an AEO upgrade; others justify a full rebuild. The audit tells you which.
Small brochure sites: 5–10 working days. Small business sites (6–12 pages): 2–3 weeks. E-commerce and custom builds: 3–6 weeks. Premium or multilingual enterprise projects: 8–12 weeks. We share a written timeline at the start of every project and stick to it.
Yes, fully. WordPress, your domain, your hosting account, your content — all yours. You can take everything to any provider at any time. We don't lock clients into proprietary platforms, and you'll never need our permission to make changes.
Irish SMEs across most service categories — trades (plumbers, electricians, builders), professional services (accountants, solicitors, consultants), local retail and hospitality, and B2B service businesses. We work especially well with businesses where most leads come through Google search or AI search, and where the website is a primary commercial asset, not just a brochure.
