Local visibility used to mean one thing: rank in Google Maps and on the first page for "[service] in [city]" searches. In 2026, that's no longer enough. A growing share of local-intent searches now happen inside AI engines — customers ask ChatGPT "best [trade] in Dublin," ask Google AI Overviews "where should I get my [service] done," and increasingly bypass Google's traditional results entirely.
The Local Visibility, SEO & AEO service engineers all three disciplines together. Local SEO delivers the traditional Google ranking work — NAP consistency, local landing pages, geo-targeted keywords, on-page optimisation. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) is the discipline of getting your business cited inside AI engine responses — schema markup, FAQPage architecture, entity definitions, citation-friendly content. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) is AEO applied specifically to local-intent queries — getting your business cited when users ask AI engines "best [service] near me."
Many Dublin agencies sell one of the three. Some do local SEO well. A few are starting to add AEO retrofits to existing sites. Almost none deliver all three as one integrated engagement. BeaconSites built the service around all three because in 2026 they cannot be separated — Google Maps rankings, AI engine citations, and local-intent AEO all feed off the same NAP consistency, schema architecture, and citation patterns.
This service is built for Irish SMEs and B2B businesses with a physical presence or service area — particularly:
If your current Google Business Profile is more than a year old without regular posting, photos, or review responses — OR if your local SEO investment focuses only on rankings without addressing AI Overview citations — there's significant uncaptured visibility at stake.
Most clients land on the Managed WordPress (full) plan at €299/month which includes Local Visibility & SEO management. Standalone engagements available from €299/month for businesses without managed WordPress.
Three things separate BeaconSites' Local Visibility & SEO from what every other Dublin agency offers in 2026:
1. Launch-day consensus signal. Every BeaconSites engagement ships with an expert article produced in 8 formats and syndicated across 300+ high-traffic sites including Business Insider, AP News, and Apple News. AI engines see your brand cited across multiple independent sources from week one, alongside the GBP and local SEO signals.
2. AI-native architecture: GBP, local SEO, GEO, and automation engineered together. Many agencies treat local visibility as a single discipline — either GBP optimisation OR local SEO, rarely both, and almost never with GEO (the AI-engine-specific local citation work). BeaconSites builds the GBP-to-website data flow as one integrated system: schema markup on your website mirrors your GBP exactly, location-specific FAQPage content engineered for AI Overview citation, automation handles review monitoring and posting cadence, and AI engines see one consistent signal across maps, organic, and AI Overview. Automation runs through the veins of every BeaconSites engagement.
3. Founder-led delivery. You work directly with Lee Graham — not a junior account manager managing 50 other listings. The strategic decisions about how your business appears across Google Maps, organic results, and Google AI Overviews come from the founder. Specialists handle the day-to-day work where Lee is supervising directly.
This combination doesn't exist at any other Dublin agency we know of.

Local visibility in 2026 isn't a "set it and forget it" marketing asset — it's an active competitive system that compounds GBP signals plus local SEO plus GEO work across months of consistent management. The brands winning local search are doing all three together.
BeaconSites delivers Local Visibility & SEO as one integrated service. If your current local strategy focuses only on Google Maps or only on traditional local SEO, you're leaving the GEO layer (the AI Overview citations) entirely unaddressed. That's worth a 30-minute conversation.
