AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
Get cited in Google AI Overviews, featured snippets, and People Also Ask — so your hotel shows up before the click.
If AI Overviews are eating your clicks, SEO alone isn't enough.
Travelers now read direct answers in Google search results before clicking any hotel link. When search engines answer room policies, airport transfer times, or parking rates using third-party directories instead of your official website, you lose qualified direct bookings. Traditional keyword rankings cannot protect your traffic when answer boxes satisfy the searcher instantly. We restructure your site content so Google extracts verified facts straight from your property pages.
Common symptoms we find
- Google AI Overviews answer your target queries without citing you
- Your site ranks but never wins featured snippets
- You have no FAQ or Q&A content on room or service pages
- Schema markup is missing or broken
- You don't know which queries trigger AI answers
