What is measured
Verified readiness across technical discoverability, entity clarity, answer readiness, authority and evidence, citation readiness, and relationship visibility.
Transparent by design
Beacon Optimization Methodology
A deterministic, versioned framework built around bounded evidence, explicit limitations, deliberate approvals, and before-and-after proof.
Last updated: July 31, 2026
Scoring
Supported dimensions are weighted 20%, 20%, 20%, 15%, 15%, and 10%. Unavailable dimensions are excluded, never replaced with zero.
Evidence requirements
No numeric score appears without sufficient supporting observations. Coverage and the last calculation time remain visible.
Confidence and freshness
Confidence reflects evidence quality and limitations. Stale evidence is identified and does not silently support a current conclusion.
Observation and inference
An observation records what was found. A bounded inference is labeled separately and must link to its supporting observations.
Verification
Completed work is not a verified improvement. Post-change evidence must be collected and compared with the baseline.
What is not promised
The methodology does not predict or guarantee rankings, AI recommendations, citations, traffic, leads, revenue, or commercial outcomes.
