View full plan detailsQuestions people actually ask
Make sense of AI answers and local rankings.
- Why do I rank well nearby but disappear across town?
- Local results depend partly on distance, relevance and prominence. A grid checks the same keyword from many points, so you can see the streets where visibility drops instead of relying on one search.
- Why does an AI tracker show a different answer from my own search?
- Answers change with wording, platform, location, time and session. Read the saved answer and its sources, then compare repeated checks. One answer is a sample, not a universal rank.
- Should I track “near me”, a town name, or national questions?
- Use the questions your customers ask. Add a town to the questions about local services. Track broader questions too, and compare local and national topics separately.
- What is the difference between a mention and a citation?
- A mention names your business in the answer. A citation links to a source. Your brand can be named without a link, or your page can be cited without the brand being named. Beacon tracks both.
- What should I investigate when visibility drops?
- Compare the same prompt, platform and location over time. Open the answers and cited pages to see who replaced you. For Maps, compare the same keyword and grid points before you change your plan.
- Do Google Maps rankings tell me how I appear in AI answers?
- They measure different results. A strong Maps position does not mean AI assistants mention or cite your business. Beacon puts both views in one workspace so you can check each.
- Does checking a prompt again use another tracked prompt?
- No. A tracked prompt is a saved question. Rechecking it collects more platform responses; it does not become another saved question. Your monitoring schedule and run limits are separate.
- Can I use Beacon for national or global AI visibility?
- Yes. Track questions about your brand, services and topics without tying them to a town. Add town-level AI checks and Google Maps scans when local visibility matters to your business.
