# How to prevent a Beacon from appearing in incorrect locations?

Prevent a Beacon from appearing in incorrect locations by configuring its Visibility Rules accurately.

- Specify the rules using attributes such as **Page tag** and **URL Path**.
- Use the conditions **Exists** or **Contains** under New Visibility Rules.
- Avoid configuring generic rules or conditions, such as using only the domain part of the **URL**, as this can lead to inaccuracies.
- Refine the visibility by using **Not Equals** and **Not Contains** conditions in conjunction with other conditions.
- Use CSS selectors for the Beacon to appear correctly on the selected element. For more information, see [How to find a CSS selector of an element using Whatfix](/studio/docs/how-to-find-the-css-selector-of-an-element-using-whatfix-editor).

For more information, see [New Visibility Rules](/studio/docs/understand-advanced-visibility-rules-for-content).
