Why switch from Beacons to Hyax
Same ballpark, full stack

Link page is the start, not the ceiling
Beacons centers on a bio link. Hyax gives you long-form SEO, blog, and branded pages, so fans discover you on search, not only from social taps.
Own the relationship
Link tools send traffic outward. Hyax captures subscribers, runs automations and sequences, and sells memberships, without duct-taping a separate ESP.
