Needle Beacon

AI wants to recommend you — it just doesn't have your business card yet.

Needle Beacon is your digital business card for AI: who you are, what you do, where you work, and why you’re good.

Beacon makes your business impossible for AI to misunderstand — and your next report proves what changed.

The problem

When someone asks ChatGPT for a plumber, it has to understand your website.

Nice photos and clever headlines do not tell a machine who you are, what you do, where you work or who you serve. Needle Beacon hands it a clean business card that does.

How it works

Paste the block once

Add one block to your site.

Crawlers get the card

AI crawlers receive a machine-readable business card.

Check your next report

Your next NeedleFoundAI report shows whether you were named more.

What is in the kit

One set of facts, in the forms machines read.

JSON-LD business schema

Structured data built from the facts you enter. Nothing is invented for you.

Quotable About summary

A visible plain-text summary that can be quoted as written.

Clean standard meta tags

Standard title and description tags from the same facts.

llms.txt

llms.txt is a free, five-minute hedge for a standard that may matter later.

AI robots helpers

Installation check

Open Google Rich Results Test, run by Google and separate from Needle Beacon.

Before and after

Make the change. Measure the difference.

Install Needle Beacon, then re-sample in 14–30 days. Your dashboard puts your first and fresh reports side by side: Named Rate (sampled), answer counts, and dates. See who AI is naming now and how your number moved.

First reportYour starting pointThe Named Rate (sampled) from your first report: how many sampled answers named you, out of how many, and on what date.
Fresh reportYour new readingThe same measure from a new report after the re-sample, with its own counts and date, shown beside the first.
Installing

The static paste block is the most reliable for crawlers.

Crawlers read the HTML your server sends, and a pasted block is in it. A script option is also available and fetches your latest saved facts.

Plain HTML

Paste the block inside the head element of each page, and the summary inside the body.

WordPress

Use your theme header and footer settings, or a header-and-footer code area, for the head block. Add the summary as a custom HTML block.

Wix

Open Settings, then Custom Code, and add the head block to the head of all pages. Add the summary as an embedded HTML element.

Squarespace

Open Settings, then Advanced, then Code Injection, and add the head block to the header. Add the summary as a Code block.

Privacy

The snippet watches no one.

It is static configuration only: no cookies, no tracking and no fingerprinting. Only facts you opt in to publish are made public. Your private reports are never part of it.

Questions

Straight answers.

How long does installation take?

Prepare your facts, copy the blocks, and paste them through your website’s custom-code settings. Time depends on your platform and access to those settings.

Does this work on WordPress, Wix and Squarespace?

Yes. Paste through the custom-code or settings area your platform offers; availability depends on your plan. It is not a plugin.

How do I change my facts later?

With the static block, update your facts and paste the new block. With the script option, the page fetches your latest saved facts.

How do I know it is installed?

The verify tool makes a server-side fetch of your page and shows what it can read in the HTML.
