ChatGPT now lets businesses claim a profile. Do it.
But a profile covers the basics. Detailed questions like "who fixes water heaters on Sunday near me?" still get answered from your website.
1. Claim your profile
2. Make your site readable by AI

Myth: a beautiful website means AI will recommend you.
Reality: AI assistants don't look at your design. They read your text.
Listings in a slideshow, service areas drawn on a map image, "Call today!" baked into a banner graphic. It all looks great to a person and tells an AI almost nothing.
What's on your site that only exists as a picture? 👇

How do you know if AI can actually read your website?
Beacon loads every page twice:
1. Once as a person's browser
2. Once as an AI crawler
Then it compares the two. Words your visitor sees but the crawler never gets are words an AI can't use when someone asks who to hire.
Common gaps: text baked into images, content that only appears after scripts run, or a rule that turns AI crawlers away.
Ever looked at your own site the way a crawler does? 👇

60-second test for your business website:
Copy just the words from your homepage (no photos, no design) and paste them into a blank note.
Now read it like a stranger. Can you tell:
• what you do
• what towns you serve
• how to book or call
Plain text like that is what an AI assistant leans on, not your photos.
Did yours pass? 👇

Your next customer might not be a person.
It might be an AI assistant someone sent to do one job: "find a plumber who can come Saturday and takes card."
It can't call you. It can't read the flyer in your window. It reads your website, and if the answer isn't there in plain text, it moves on.
What's one question it would need answered before picking you? 👇

Same website, two very different first impressions (illustrative example, a made-up dental office):
What a person sees: a smiling team photo, "Welcome!" and a Book Now button.
What an AI reads: "Welcome!" and not much else. No services, no insurance info, no hours in plain text.
Which visitor is your site built for? 👇

Amazon is worried about AI agents doing the shopping (WSJ). Main Street should be paying attention too.
If AI can't read your site, it can't recommend you.

🤖 Made with AI
WSJ: people are starting to let AI agents research and buy for them, and it's putting Amazon's $70B ad business at risk.
When a bot does the shopping, ads don't help much. What counts is whether AI can read what you do, where, and when you're open.

Electricians, landscapers, painters:
"We do it all" sounds confident to a customer.
To an AI assistant, it says nothing. It can't recommend you for panel upgrades or drip irrigation if your site never says you do them.
Does your site name every service you want to be hired for? 👇

Restaurant owners:
When someone asks an AI "where's good late-night tacos near me," it needs to read your menu, hours, and neighborhood as text.
If your menu only lives in a PDF or a photo of a chalkboard, AI may not be able to use it at all.
Is your menu real text or a picture? 👇

Before we asked anyone to test their website, we tested our own.
aruon.ai: 98
SOP Hub: 97
REIR: 100
Scout: 100
Domi, our resident app: 76
That 76 stung. Domi is a good product, and an AI assistant reading its site would miss a quarter of what makes it good. It's next on our list.
All six scores are public, with the date we ran them: beacon.aruon.ai/examples
If we're going to tell you how an AI reads your website, we should show you how it reads ours first.

The scariest story for a local business owner this Halloween 🎃
A customer asks ChatGPT for the best roofer in town.
It names three competitors.
You've been in business 20 years. It never mentions you.
Have you asked AI about your own business yet? What did it say? 👇

Home care agencies, clinics, dental offices:
When a worried daughter asks an AI "who offers in-home care for my mom near me," it looks for your services, the areas you cover, and how to reach you, in a format it can actually read.
If that's missing, it recommends someone else.

This was my desk this morning: a new hardware wallet sitting next to an Aruon QR code. I put them together on purpose.
Something is coming faster than most owners realize. Your next customer may not be a person. It may be an AI agent sent by a person to do one job: find the right service, compare the options, and pay. It won't browse, it won't need a checkout page, and it won't wait until Monday.
Agents don't carry credit cards the way we do. More and more of them pay in crypto and stablecoins, because those settle directly and work around the clock.
So we're getting ready. Soon, every Aruon product will be available for an AI agent to buy and pay for in cryptocurrency. The products and the people behind them stay the same, all running on U.S.-based AI on hardware we own.
The bigger question is about you, not us. When an agent shows up to buy from your company, can it read what you sell? Can it pay you? Or will it quietly move on to a competitor who was ready?
Most businesses haven't thought about this yet, and that's the opening.
Is your company ready for a customer that isn't human?

Congrats to Five Star Building Corp, the first site to carry the Aruon Beacon "AI-readable" badge ✅
Their site now speaks clearly to customers and to the AI assistants those customers ask. Same site, same design, same domain.
The badge isn't a sticker. Beacon re-checks the site and shows the date it was last verified.

10-second self-test for your business website.
Can someone (or an AI) find these in plain text, not buried in a photo?
☐ What you do
☐ The towns you serve
☐ Your hours
☐ How to reach you
Miss one, and AI assistants have less to go on when a customer asks who to hire.
How many did you check? 👇
