I’ve been looking for a document library for a WordPress website that I manage, that has document sub sections / headings as well as being able to searched across all sub sections. I came across Beacon document library (and more) which provides all the facilities that I was looking for. I can upload all the document I want and then identify which sub section / group I want them to be in. It’s easy to use and the support is fantastic. Once you have loaded all your documents and highlighted which group they are in, you get a html code to add to your WordPress page and that’s it – job done.
Keep up the good work and the 1st class support.
I got stuck a few times setting up the document database and asked for help from the support team (Anton Dique). They have been very supportive and even created some videos for me to show me how to resolve the problems I experienced (due to lack of knowledge on my part). They have been absolutely first class with their support. My document database is now fully up and running and is better than expected.
Thanks again for you support during my learning process.

I’ve been using Beacon.by to create lead magnets, resource libraries, and video lookbooks, and I’m thoroughly impressed with both the platform and their customer support. Recently, I encountered an issue while trying to connect my Google Drive to Beacon for a resource library. Anton from the Beacon support team was instrumental in helping me troubleshoot and resolve the problem efficiently. His expertise and prompt response not only fixed my issue but also reinforced my confidence in their service. Beacon isn’t just a powerful tool for lead generation; their customer support is truly outstanding. If you’re looking for a reliable and user-friendly platform to enhance your digital marketing efforts, Beacon.by is definitely worth considering!

Now I’m leaving this review for what I know: and I know Beacon, not so much for its wp plugin, but for its power at creating fast, easy-to-consume, printable, and trackable “Smart PDFs.”
I’ve used it for at least 5 years to build lead magnets of various sorts (e.g. workbooks, resource guides, checklists). After using it for a few projects, it gets under your fingers and you can fly with it.
Probably my top two favorite features are
1) the ability to pixel traffic (and send a custom event to GA4 “lead_magnet”) and
2) It’s SO NICE to NOT have to go through a dozen steps when you want to fix a typo or even make a bigger change to your PDF. Instead of saving a new version, exporting, uploading to the server, potentially needing to regenerate new URLs, breaking all existing URLs to your guide… instead of all that, open Beacon, edit, click save. Done. That alone has saved me days or weeks in accumulated time.

Beacon has been a time-saver for me for several years now and I love that my lead magnates are all housed in one place.
