BeaconSites, a Dublin agency, has released a 2026 Buyer's Guide comparing AI Visibility Audit services in Ireland, addressing a visibility gap among Irish SMEs as buyer research shifts toward AI-generated answers. Gartner predicted in February 2024 that traditional search engine volume would drop 25% by 2026 due to AI chatbots. The agency offers a founder-led AI Visibility Audit starting at €299, benchmarking businesses across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude. The guide responds to a readiness gap where Irish businesses recognize AI's impact but lack measurement frameworks. A proper audit must cover six elements: cross-engine testing scope, presence and citation analysis, content accuracy and sentiment, competitive benchmarking, technical and content foundation, and a prioritised remediation roadmap. BeaconSites' audit applies a proprietary Six-Factor Framework weighing content relevance at approximately 30%, visual placement at 20%, domain authority at 15%, freshness at 15%, source diversity at 10%, and structured data at 10%. Each audit includes a snapshot PDF report, a 30-minute findings call with founder Lee Graham, and delivery within seven to ten working days with no retainer obligation. The Irish market for AI visibility audits in 2026 divides into three tiers.
