GEO & The New Visibility Strategy for the Hospitality Industry
The way people search for hospitality businesses is changing.
Instead of scrolling through pages of Google results, users are increasingly turning to AI platforms and conversational search to ask direct, detailed questions:
- Where should I stay for a luxury spa weekend near York?
- What are the best conference venues in London?
- Which restaurants are worth visiting in Manchester?
The businesses recommended in those answers are the businesses gaining visibility, consideration and ultimately bookings.
This is where GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) comes in.
