More phone calls. More booked jobs. From a website that actually gets found.

What is AEO and why does my website need it?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) is the engineering work that makes websites quotable by AI search engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, 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.
How much does a new website cost in Ireland in 2026?
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.
Can BeaconSites upgrade my existing website or do I need a full rebuild?
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, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot, with prioritised fixes. Some sites need only an AEO upgrade; others justify a full rebuild. The audit tells you which.
How long does it take to build a website with BeaconSites?
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.
Do I own the website after BeaconSites builds 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.
What kind of businesses does BeaconSites work with?
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.
