When travelers ask AI where to stay, is your hotel in the answer?
See which hotels AI recommends in your destination, find the questions competitors are winning, and strengthen your presence with strategic editorial coverage.
Travelers now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Mode for hotel recommendations and get a short list of names, not a page of links. Those answers lean on independent travel coverage, and 5 Reasons to Visit® is the publication that writes it. Start by checking where your hotel stands today.
Does AI recommend your hotel?
We'll write the questions travelers ask about hotels like yours, and you can run them in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Mode in one click each.

Open each question in any AI tool, see who it recommends, and record what you find. Your result appears at the end.
Ask AI what travelers ask
Open each question in any AI tool. Each link opens in a new tab with the question already typed, so you can come straight back here. Then record what the answer said.
Your answers stay in your browser. We only see them if you choose to email yourself the result or send them with your details.

What travelers ask AI about hotels
These are the kinds of questions that decide which hotels get named. Each one is specific, and each one ends with a short list.
- “Best boutique hotel in Charleston for a couple's weekend”
- “Where should we stay in Napa for a wine-tasting trip?”
- “Family-friendly resort in Maui with a kids' club”
- “Pet-friendly luxury hotel in Austin”
- “Quiet hotel near the beach in Key West”
- “Which hotel in Aspen is within walking distance of restaurants?”
Why good hotels get left out of AI answers
AI travel recommendations can draw on many sources, including business websites, reviews, listings, and third-party editorial coverage. Independent coverage is the one a hotel cannot create for itself.
Booking listings describe, but rarely distinguish
Your listings on booking sites give AI tools basic facts, but every hotel appears in the same format. They seldom explain why yours is the right choice for a particular traveler.
Independent coverage shapes the shortlist
When a traveler asks for the best hotel for a specific trip, AI tools often draw on editorial features and roundups. Hotels without independent coverage are harder for them to name.
The details decide the match
Who you suit, what the rooms are like, what is within walking distance: specific, consistent details are what let AI connect your hotel to the question being asked.
Get your hotel into the answer
The AI Travel Visibility Campaign runs in three stages, written by the 5 Reasons to Visit® editorial team and measured from start to finish.
Baseline visibility analysis
Our team tests 10 relevant travel queries about hotels in your destination across AI tools and documents which competitors appear and which sources AI cites.
We create and publish the editorial feature
Our editors write an original travel story about your hotel, with verified facts and appropriate structured data, published permanently on 5 Reasons to Visit®.
We recheck and report
30 days after publication, we repeat the same 10 queries and show you any change in mentions and citations, measured against your baseline.
One time. No subscription, no commissions.

Questions hotels ask
AI visibility for hotels
How do I get my hotel recommended by ChatGPT?
AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Mode recommend hotels they can find described clearly and independently. Keep your name, address and details consistent across your website and listings, add hotel structured data to your site, and earn independent editorial coverage that explains who your hotel suits and why. The AI Travel Visibility Campaign provides that coverage, with a baseline before and a recheck after.
Why does AI recommend other hotels instead of mine?
Usually because the hotels it names have more specific, independent writing about them. AI travel recommendations can draw on many sources, including hotel websites, reviews, booking listings and third-party editorial coverage. A hotel with little independent coverage gives AI tools less to work with, however good the stay is.
Do booking site listings help my hotel appear in AI answers?
They can supply basic facts, such as location, room types and amenities. But every hotel is presented in the same format, and listings rarely say why a hotel is the right fit for a couple's weekend or a family trip. Independent editorial coverage fills that gap.
What is GEO for hotels?
GEO, or generative engine optimization, is the work of making a hotel more likely to be named and cited in AI answers. Most GEO work focuses on a hotel's own website. Our campaign adds the part a hotel cannot create itself: an independent editorial feature on an established travel publication.
What does the campaign include for a hotel?
Three stages. A baseline visibility analysis of 10 relevant hotel queries in your destination, documenting which competitors appear and which sources AI cites. An original editorial feature about your hotel, with verified facts and structured data, published permanently. And a recheck 30 days after publication that shows any change in mentions and citations.
How much does it cost?
$2,500, one time. No subscription, no commissions, and no share of your bookings.
Can independent and boutique hotels benefit as much as large brands?
Often more. Large brands tend to have plenty written about them already. Independent and boutique hotels usually have far less independent coverage, so a single detailed feature can make up a larger share of what AI tools can find.
Can you guarantee my hotel will be recommended?
No. Nothing is ever guaranteed with AI tools, and no publisher or agency controls what they write. We create the kind of independent source they draw on and measure the results against your baseline.
