The problem

“Search for our hotel by name, and an OTA shows up above us.”

Guests search on Google and, more and more, ask AI assistants where to stay. If your website isn’t the clearest source, OTAs take the click and the commission.

What it costs you today

  • OTAs win your own nameGuests searching for you land on an OTA listing.
  • Missing from AI answersChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity recommend others.
  • Content that doesn’t rankThin pages that answer none of the questions guests ask.

Today

  • OTAs rank above you for your own name
  • Not named in AI answers
