Hospitality (hotels, restaurants, bars)
Travellers and locals now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity for recommendations before they ever open a booking site.
Why AEO matters here
AI engines pull from reviews, schema, local citations and original content. Most Irish hospitality sites are completely silent on all four. The first hotel or restaurant in a town to fix that becomes the AI's default answer for years.
What you get
- Be the AI's recommended choice for 'best [restaurant/hotel/bar] in [town]'.
- Lift direct bookings (no commission) by reducing dependence on OTAs.
- Capture late-decision bookers asking AI on the day.
- Strengthen Google Business Profile signals at the same time.
Illustrative result
A 24-room hotel in Killarney with no AI presence saw a 38% lift in direct bookings within three months of full local AEO.
