When a traveler asks AI for a boutique hotel, it returns a short list. If yours isn't on it, I find why, and what to fix first.

The Problem

Showing up isn't enough on its own. I audited a property that had earned a Michelin Key. That recognition was on their website. It wasn't anywhere AI looks first. Ask ChatGPT about them and you get a reasonable description: boutique hotel, good location, thoughtful design. The Michelin Key never came up. Neither did the reason they earned it.

It's the same pattern across properties. A clarity problem, not a technology problem. And it's fixable.

Most independent properties have no way to check what AI says about them. Chains have corporate teams for this. You don't.

The Service

The AI Visibility Audit

The value isn't the search result. It's the decision that comes after. I find where your property's signal breaks, trace it to the cause, and tell you the highest-impact fix to make first. Ranked by what wins bookings, not by technical complexity.

Reading what the major AI platforms currently say about you, where your strengths aren't coming through, where the description is incomplete or wrong, is the input. The prioritized fix plan is the product.

Each audit is specific to your property. This is not an automated tool. You walk away knowing what to change and in what order, in plain language written for an owner, not a developer.

No retainers. No implementation packages. One deliverable.

Why it works

AI platforms don't recommend properties at random. They look for fit, confidence, and evidence. A property that matches what the traveler described, with consistent and specific information across enough sources, gets the recommendation. One that doesn't stays visible but doesn't get chosen.

Most properties have the fit. What breaks down is the evidence layer. The specific features, the guest profile, the reason someone picks this place over the one down the road. Often those things are on the website. But they're not on the platforms AI reads first, or they're described differently across sources, or they're buried in copy AI doesn't parse well. None of it comes through in a recommendation.

The audit identifies exactly where that breaks down. Not in general terms. For your property specifically. That's what makes the fix list actionable.

Common Questions

• What AI platforms does the audit cover?

  ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview. Those are where most travelers are asking recommendation questions right now.

• Is this the same as an SEO audit?

  No. SEO audits test for traditional search rankings. This tests how AI platforms currently understand, describe, and recommend your property. Those are different problems with different fixes.

• What if AI already describes my property correctly?

  Most properties that look accurate in a direct search still fail in recommendation searches. When a traveler describes a need rather than searching by name, the property doesn't appear. The audit tests both. If yours passes both, you'll know that with confidence.

• Do I need to be technical to act on the findings?

  No. The report is written for an owner, not a developer. Each fix is explained in plain language with a clear priority order. Most can be handed off to a web person or handled directly.

• How long does it take?

  You get the full written report within five business days of confirmed engagement.
