Beacon — AI-Answer Visibility
When travelers ask AI about your region — are you the answer?
Beacon runs your destination’s most valuable traveler questions against ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini every night, and records whether you appear, where you rank, and which source got the citation. It is the layer of visibility no incumbent analytics platform measures.
