What we do

For exceptional restaurants and hotels

AI recommends the places many sources agree on. So we find what guests ask about venues like yours, answer it on your website, and get guides, press and listings saying the same.

  1. 01

    Visibility audit

    The questions guests ask AI about places like yours, where you’re recommended today, and who is named instead.

  2. 02

    Structured information

    Menus, hours, rooms, awards and prices set out so AI tools read them correctly, and describe you the way you’d describe yourself.

  3. 03

    Articles on your website

    Guides and answers on your own site to the exact questions guests ask, so AI has something of yours to cite as its source.

  4. 04

    Mentions across the web

    Guides, press, listings and local sites telling the same story as your website. When many sources agree, AI repeats it.

  5. 05

    Google search (SEO)

    Google still sends guests every day. We make your site rank for the searches that lead to bookings, in every language your guests search in.

  6. 06

    The booking path

    From the answer to the reservation: clear links to book on every page and listing guests land on, so interest turns into a table or a room.

How it works

One cycle, every month

AI answers keep changing as the tools update and competitors move. So this isn’t a one-off project: we run the same cycle every month, and each one starts from the new numbers.

  1. Baseline

    01

    Where you appear today on Google and across ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, who shows up instead, and what it already brings you.

House rules

How we work

  • Discreet

    We work behind the scenes. Guests see your name, never ours.

  • Honest

    No fake reviews, no paid rankings, nothing you’d hide from guests.

  • Faithful

    Everything we publish sounds like you, and you see it first.

  • Fluent

    Guests ask in many languages. Your answer is there in each.

Questions

What owners ask us

Will this bring bookings, or just mentions?

Bookings are the point. Being named is only worth something if the guest then reserves. We measure how many guests reach your website from Google and AI answers, and estimate the bookings that brings at your own booking rate. If you connect your booking system, we can count them exactly.

What does the free report do?

It reads your website to understand what kind of place you are and where, and works out the questions guests ask AI when looking for a place like yours. It asks ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude each one, and records who they recommend and which websites they cite as sources. Then it explains why those places are recommended, and writes a plan of what to publish on your website and elsewhere, so AI starts citing you too.

Is this SEO?

Yes, and more. Many guests still start on Google, so we handle search engine optimisation: your site and listings ranking for the searches that lead to bookings. The newer part is AI: ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude and there is no list of links, just a few names. Most of the work serves both.

Do I need to change my website?

Very little of the design, but we do add to it. We set out your information so AI tools read it correctly, fix details that are wrong or missing, and publish articles that answer what guests actually ask. You see everything before it goes live, and we do the work for you.

Why publish on other websites, not just mine?

Because AI tools don’t take one source’s word for it. They recommend what many independent sources agree on. So alongside the articles on your website, we get the same facts and story into the guides, publications, listings and local sites AI reads. When they all say the same thing, AI is far more likely to name you, and to cite your website as the source.

How long before I see a difference?

Expect the first movement after a couple of months. AI tools update what they know on their own schedule. That is why we work on six-month terms, and why your dashboard shows you where you stand every month.

Can you update my profile on Guidavera?

Yes. Guidavera is one of the sources AI tools already read and cite, so as part of the work we make your profile there complete and current: menus, rooms, photos, hours and booking links, telling the same story as your own website.

What do I need to do?

Almost nothing. A short conversation at the start, access to a few listings if you want us to update them, and a look at your dashboard when you have a minute. We do the rest.
