Questions, answered simply

Frequently asked questions

What is WedBeacon?

WedBeacon is wedding discovery intelligence. It evaluates how clearly a wedding business can be found, understood, trusted, compared, and recommended from available public and measured evidence, then provides improvement guidance.

Is WedBeacon an SEO tool?

SEO foundations are part of discovery, but WedBeacon also considers category-specific business clarity, trust, local and market context, buyer questions, competitors, conversion readiness, and AI visibility when measurable.

What is the Discovery Score?

It is a summary of measured discovery signals supported by available evidence. It is not a grade on the quality of your actual work.

What happens when WedBeacon cannot establish a fact?

The fact should remain unknown or unmeasured rather than being converted into a negative claim. Where useful, WedBeacon can tell the business what information should be clarified.

Can WedBeacon be wrong?

Yes. Any bounded analysis can encounter incomplete, ambiguous, stale, or conflicting evidence. WedBeacon is designed to retain provenance and confidence context and to use later rechecks rather than presenting every result as permanent fact.

What is Couple Question Intelligence?

It is WedBeacon's use of aggregated wedding-discovery intelligence to identify important questions and concerns relevant to a business category, normalize different phrasings into the underlying buyer need, and compare those needs with what the business currently explains publicly.

Where does that buyer intelligence come from?

WedBeacon can use aggregated signals from observed search behavior, wedding-planning discussions, engagement patterns, research, and other discovery intelligence. Source provenance is retained internally while the subscriber receives normalized guidance.

Does WedBeacon invent FAQ answers for my business?

No. If a business fact is not established, WedBeacon provides an answer framework describing what should be clarified rather than inventing the fact.

What does AI Not present mean?

It means the business was not recommended, mentioned, or cited in that specific completed AI check. It does not mean AI has never seen the business.

Can WedBeacon explain exactly why an external AI made a decision?

No. WedBeacon can connect an observed result to measurable discovery signals, but it does not claim access to an external model's private reasoning.

Does WedBeacon guarantee Google rankings or AI recommendations?

No. WedBeacon does not guarantee rankings, AI recommendations, inquiries, bookings, or revenue.

Why can results change over time?

Websites, competitors, market evidence, and AI responses change. Rechecks are intended to show what the evidence supports at a later point in time rather than pretending discovery is static.

Can I start for free?

Yes. Check My Business Free begins the business and evidence validation process without requiring a credit card.

How are subscriptions managed?

Eligible WedBeacon account owners can subscribe to Essential, Professional, or Growth and manage billing securely through Stripe.

What happens if I cancel?

If cancellation is scheduled at the end of the billing period, subscription benefits remain active through that billing period and the account shows when those benefits will end.

Does WedBeacon use analytics on the public site?

Optional Matomo analytics is consent-gated on public pages. Discovery Snapshot reports use a sanitized report URL and title so secure report tokens are not sent to Matomo. Unsubscribe token routes remain excluded.
