SEO and AI search for restaurants, hotels and bars

Get found on Google and Google Maps, and get recommended when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity where to eat, drink and stay.

Search is where people with an appetite find you.

“Restaurants near me”, “best brunch in Soho”, “hotel with a spa in Kent”. More and more of those questions now go to AI assistants, which give one short answer with a handful of names in it. If you’re not one of them, you’re invisible to that guest.

We do the traditional SEO work that gets you ranking on Google and Maps, and the newer work that decides whether AI recommends you: clear, consistent information about your venue across your website and the wider web, and content that answers the questions guests actually ask. We track it with our own tool, Wonder Score.

Be the answer when they ask an AI where to eat.
