Beacons alternative

A Beacons alternative for real businesses

Beacons is built for creators. Clay is built for real-world businesses — and turns your Google listing into a full site.

Takes ~20 seconds · no sign-up or credit card required

Beacons is a solid creator link-in-bio. But if you run a café, shop, salon or studio, you want your menu, products, hours and location — built from your Google info. Clay does exactly that, and still works as a clean link-in-bio.

How it works

01

Search your business

Type your name — Clay pulls your photos, hours, reviews and contact details straight from your Google listing.

02

Pick a style

Choose a look and Clay builds a full site around your content. Change anything with a tap — no code, no templates to wrestle.

03

You're online

Publish to your own name.clay.site in minutes. Add a custom domain and connect your own tools whenever you're ready.

Why Clay

It pulls your info from Google

No blank page. Clay reads your Google business listing and fills in your name, photos, hours, map and reviews automatically.

A real website, not just links

Menus, bookings, a shop, a gallery, contact — Clay is a full site that also works as a link-in-bio, not a list of buttons.

Live in minutes, free to start

Search, pick a style, publish. No signup to see it, no credit card, and a free live address at name.clay.site.

Yours to grow

Bring a custom domain, add pro widgets, run multiple sites. It scales from a bio link to a full business site.

Questions

How long does it really take?

Most people are live in two to three minutes — search your business, pick a style, publish. There's nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first.

Is it free?

Yes. You get a free live site on your own name.clay.site address with everything you need to start. Paid plans add a custom domain, pro widgets and extra sites.

Do I need any tech skills?

None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site. Every change previews live and there's no code anywhere.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes — connect any domain you own on a paid plan. Until then your site is live on a free name.clay.site subdomain.

Which is better for a local business?

Clay — because it starts from your Google listing and includes local-business blocks like menus, a shop, booking and a map. Beacons leans more toward creators and content links.
