A one-point increase in a hotel's TripAdvisor review score correlates with an 11.2 percent increase in ADR.

Question 7

What is GEO and why does my hotel need it?

Accepted Answer

GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. It is the practice of structuring a hotel's digital content so it appears in AI-generated recommendations from platforms like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. Hotels without GEO optimization are invisible to a fast-growing segment of high-intent travelers who now begin their search with AI rather than a search engine or OTA.
