# BeaconSites > BeaconSites is a Dublin-based AI-native digital marketing agency founded by Lee Graham in 2004 and rebuilt around Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) in 2025. We build websites engineered to be found by both Google and AI search engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. We serve Irish SMEs across trades, professional services, local retail, and B2B service businesses. We operate two content systems: Carvium (a 16-agent autonomous content pipeline built in-house) and MediaCastHub (which uses an 8-format content transformation and distribution system reaching up to 800 high-traffic sites monthly). Based at 77 Camden Street Lower, Dublin D02 XE80, Ireland. ## Core articles - [How Much Does a Website Cost In Ireland?

The reason isn't efficiency — it's a concept called consensus signal that determines who AI engines actually cite. ## Services BeaconSites delivers five services, all engineered around the AEO discipline. AEO is a discipline, not a standalone service — the technical scaffolding (schema, FAQPage, llms.txt, citation-friendly structure) is built into every Website Design and maintained ongoing; the content side (expert editorial, syndication for consensus signal) lives in AEO Content Creation & Syndication; the local-intent application lives in Local Visibility, SEO & AEO. - [Services overview](https://beaconsites.ie/services/): All five BeaconSites services listed with summaries and pricing. - [AEO Content Creation & Syndication](https://beaconsites.ie/service/content-creation-syndication/): AEO content production and syndication.
