Adding Beacon to your website allows you to view Search Data trends and drive more revenue with Search Powered Pricing. Anyone can install Beacon on their website - simply select the method below that works best for you. If you're using a Signal website, Beacon is already included!  **In This Article**  [Installation Tracking Keys (BETA)](#beacon-tracking-key)  [Why Should I Install Beacon?](#why-install-beacon)  [Google Tag Manager Installation Instructions](#google-tag-manager)  [ICND Installation Instructions](#icnd)  [PMS Specific Installation Instructions](#pms)  [WordPress Plugin Installation Instructions](#wordpress-plugin)  [Drupal Installation Instructions](#drupal)  [Manual Installation Instructions](#manual) * * * ## **Installation Tracking Keys (BETA)** We've added a quick new step to Beacon installation: generating a unique **Installation Tracking Key** for each website before you install. It only takes a minute, and it ties your install directly to your account and domain, keeping your Search Insights data clean and free of unrelated traffic. Here's how to generate your key before following the install instructions below: * Log in to your Beyond account and navigate to **Insights > Search Insights**, then the [**Beacon Integrations**](https://v2.beyondpricing.com/dashboard/beacon/integrations) tab * Click **\+ Add Integration** and enter your direct booking website URL * Click **Generate Key** * If you have more than one direct booking website (for example, a marketing site and a separate booking engine), repeat these steps to generate a key for each one ![](https://tettra-production.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/f82977fca9b3d0623d88f410095981cc20364c49/d3695f1efa9cf4241c07109becd1a4629d7046cb/37d7c29bd0f113391befcd6e2be6160b610218dc/0503d0b5c3274f7b9bb659eda29cf2bc7568f531/dnubHGTw9a4kj4uoC4lLiGeyLaZZWKogfYpe8oNB.png) ![](https://tettra-production.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/f82977fca9b3d0623d88f410095981cc20364c49/d3695f1efa9cf4241c07109becd1a4629d7046cb/37d7c29bd0f113391befcd6e2be6160b610218dc/0503d0b5c3274f7b9bb659eda29cf2bc7568f531/QF2zJB6JqgSqwZnZwEf7c28l0W2mm4ISQedmukgQ.png) Once you have your key, follow the install method below that matches your website, using your key where the instructions call for it. If you don't see the option to generate a key, or you already have Beacon installed on this website, there's nothing extra you need to do; continue with the instructions below as normal. Some accounts may also be eligible to have Beyond install Beacon for them directly, including Signal websites and select PMS booking engines (**Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully, Icnea, LiveRez, Lodgify, Lodgix, OwnerRez, and Tokeet**). If this applies to you, your Customer Success Manager can confirm eligibility and handle the install on your behalf. ## **Why Should I Install Beacon?** Beacon anonymously collects & aggregates guest search data from your direct booking website. Beacon allows you to [**view search trends in Insights**](https://support.beyondpricing.com/en_us/what-is-search-data-visualization-and-how-do-i-use-it-rkuHQ6hz2) and powers [**Search Powered Pricing**](https://support.beyondpricing.com/en_us/what-is-search-powered-pricing-and-how-do-i-use-it-Bk8F523Mh).  **Please note**: After you have installed Beacon, please reach out to [**support@beyondpricing.com**](mailto:support@beyondpricing.com) to confirm you have completed the install so we can make sure you are ready for the final step.  ## **Google Tag Manager Installation Instructions** The Google Tag Manager Beacon Install is the preferred (and easiest!) way to install Beacon if you have Google Tag Manager installed on your direct booking website.
