Hive Beacon. Audit‑ready verified residency.
Verified residency built to survive Google, banking, insurance, and regulator scrutiny.
You have an address with Hive HoneyComb (or Flight) or a Private Suite, a standing workplace presence — Beacon adds residency credentials and verified Google Business Profile™ monitoring. For regulated practices, service-area businesses, multi-site operators, and anyone concerned about protecting their market and regulator address identity.
What is Beacon?
Beacon is CollabHive's verified-residency add-on. Beacon backs your virtual membership address and workspace plan with the credentials and monitoring to keep your Google Business Profile, regulator filings, and directory listings audit-ready. It comes in two forms — a Service-Area Business listing (SAB) or a public Storefront — detailed below.
Three Class A sites: Mississauga, Scarborough, Kitchener.
A verified profile is also a leads channel.
Beacon's verification protects your address when Google, banks, and regulators look. But an actively managed Google Business Profile does more than survive scrutiny — it turns local search visibility into measurable customer actions: website clicks, calls, direction requests, and review-driven inquiries.

These are industry indicators, not guaranteed results — but they're why an actively managed profile is worth verifying and maintaining.
Every Beacon module starts from the same CollabHive base.
- A qualifying membership for address identity — HoneyComb or Flight virtual membership, or a Private Suite membership, which qualifies on its own (Hive Seed does not qualify)
- A qualifying workspace plan — a reserved capacity plan with at least 32 hours, a dedicated desk, or Private Suite
- A Beacon module +$99 one-time setup fee
Beacon is configured with an advisor.
Which Beacon configuration fits your operating pattern?
Beacon's modules plus the optional Beacon Concierge cover every operating pattern. Match how your practice actually works to the configurations below — single location, multi-site, appointment-only, or staffed storefront.
I have one location. I take appointments. I need Google to verify my address.
A service area will improve your map-search ranking within a two-hour drive of our address.
Best fit: Beacon SABI have one location. I want a public Google Storefront with staffed business hours.
A storefront will improve your map-search ranking and place a pin on the map labeled with your business name.
Best fit: Beacon StorefrontI have a home base with staffed business hours and I'm willing to take appointments in up to two other locations.
A primary site with Beacon Storefront module and Beacon Satellite SAB for the other locations. Allows you to publish 3 addresses on your business website and show 3 locations on Google Maps.
Best fit: Beacon Storefront + Satellite SABI'm too busy to keep an eye on my GBP, but I don't want anyone else responding to my prospects.
I need a permanent suite. I'll add Beacon later.
Arrange a tour for a private suite; Beacon can be added later — it's month-to-month and not tied to the term in your office membership agreement.
Best fit: Private SuiteI just need a business address. I'm not ready to actively generate leads from map searches. I don't need GBP verification yet.
Beacon adds verified-residency credentials on top of HoneyComb and a workspace — start with HoneyComb virtual membership, then add a workspace, and add Beacon when lead generation, audit, or verification matters.
Best fit: HoneyComb.Beacon SAB. Service-Area Business Listing.
Audit-ready Google Map presence at your primary location.
— Best for: Solo practitioners taking appointments. Regulated practices needing GBP-verified residency without a public map pin. You want a central address on Google Maps and to rank well in local searches across that perimeter to generate leads.

The Beacon Boundaries.
A clean division of labor — what stays yours, and what CollabHive handles instead of you.
- Respond to your reviews on your behalf
- Answer your Q&A on your behalf
- Manage your messages on your behalf
You retain all customer-facing communication authority.
- Audit defense when Google flags — the credentials and documentation that pass the three tests.
Only CollabHive Beacon provides:
- Occupancy credentials — Verity Nameplate, Occupancy Accord, Site Evidence File — a home or mail-only address can't produce them.
- Verified-address monitoring — Verity Nameplate checks and postcard surveillance at your CollabHive address, so your listing doesn't drift.
We monitor your Google Business Profile while you keep all your customer-communication.
For Beacon customers who want CollabHive managing their Google Business Profile — monitoring, drafting, and reporting — but retain control over their customer interactions. Active GBP management improves the volume of opportunity leads into your business.
- GBP audit-trigger monitoring
- Reservation link uptime monitoring
- Verity Nameplate weekly visual check
- Google Verification Postcard surveillance
Included with every Beacon module from day one — no separate subscription.
- Monthly post drafting (drafts only — customer publishes)
- We flag changes Google proposes to your listing — hours, category, status — before they quietly go live
- Performance metrics monitoring
- Quarterly report and consultation call as required
- 48-hour notice of critical events
+$50/mo per location · $0 setup. Concierge includes only currently supported GBP capabilities.
Monitoring delivered through CollabHive's partnership with Exposoft.agency.
What does your Beacon combination cost?
Beacon is modular by design to fit the needs of your business. Total monthly cost is your membership base (HoneyComb + a workspace plan, or a Private Suite membership on its own) + Beacon module + optional Beacon Concierge. Example combinations below show common configurations.
Example monthly combinations

Common questions.
Can CollabHive really respond to my Google reviews? Doesn't Google prohibit that?
What's the difference between Beacon SAB and Beacon Storefront?
Beacon Storefront is a full Google Storefront Business Profile that publishes daily hours and drops a map pin with your business name at your address.
What's the difference between Beacon Satellite SAB and Beacon Satellite Storefront?
What are the 9 customer obligations, and which ones can Concierge handle?
What's included in Base Monitoring?
Will Beacon get me Google verified, guaranteed?
What happens if I have to cancel?
Can I add Beacon to my Private Suite?
My CPA, lawyer, or regulator told me my address has to "survive audit." What does that mean for Beacon?
What's the difference between Beacon and just having a HoneyComb address?
If you create a Google Business Profile so your business shows up on map searches, Google will verify your address. Beacon provides verified-residency credentials: Verity Nameplate, Occupancy Accord, Site Evidence File, plus GBP monitoring.
Final approval of any Google Business Profile or other third-party verification remains at the discretion of the reviewing platform. No operator can guarantee Google verification.
