AI Is Changing How Travellers Discover Brands

Travellers are asking AI platforms where to go, what to book and which brands to choose. But while you might know where your website ranks on Google, do you know whether ChatGPT recommends your brand? Or whether you’re appearing in AI search at all?

AI Search - Changing Landscape

How We Approach AI Search

Around 90% of SEO and GEO work overlaps, so AI search isn’t a separate strategy. We build on strong SEO foundations, combining technical improvements, relevant content, third-party authority and commercial measurement to identify what’s limiting your visibility and where to focus next.

Understand Demand

  • Prompts
  • Keywords
  • Audience needs
  • Competitor Insights

We start by understanding how your customers search, from Google queries to AI conversations. By analysing search intent, competitor visibility and recommendations, we identify opportunities to help your brand reach more potential customers.

Strengthen Your Foundations

  • Technical SEO
  • Entities
  • Content
  • Evidence

Strong AI visibility starts with a website that’s easy to discover, understand and navigate. We assess the technical and content foundations that support search performance, including crawlability, site structure, schema, entity signals and content quality.

Build Authority and Influence

  • Citation & Mention Gaps
  • Digital PR & Links
  • Reviews & Third-party Sources
  • Expert Commentary
  • YouTube & Video
  • Multi-format Content
  • User Experience

We identify the third-party sources influencing AI recommendations, then strengthen your brand’s authority through relevant mentions, citations and content that improves your chances of being recommended.

Measure, Learn & Prioritise

  • Visibility
  • Citations
  • Traffic
  • CRM
  • Revenue

We track AI visibility, mentions, citations and competitor performance to understand what’s improving. Then we connect those insights with traffic, enquiries, bookings and revenue to prioritise the work that makes a commercial difference.

Because AI Visibility Should Lead Somewhere

The goal isn’t simply to appear in ChatGPT. It’s to make your travel brand easier to discover, easier to trust and more likely to convert throughout the customer journey.

Real Results Across AI Search

Dishoom: 38% Increase in AI Search Visibility

Our AI Visibility Audit identified commercial searches where Dishoom wasn’t consistently appearing in AI-generated results. By strengthening authority signals, brand mentions and content alignment, we increased visibility across priority searches including:

  • Restaurants in Canary Wharf
  • Restaurant in Edinburgh
  • Restaurants in Manchester

The result was a 38% increase in Al Search Visibility, helping Dishoom gain greater exposure within one of the fastest-growing areas of search.

Common questions

What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) improves your brand’s chances of appearing in AI-generated answers across platforms such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity. It combines technical SEO, content optimisation and authority building to help AI platforms discover, understand and reference your business.

How is GEO different from traditional SEO?

SEO focuses on visibility in traditional search results, while GEO looks at how your brand appears in AI-generated answers. Both share the same foundations, including technical performance, relevant content and trusted third-party signals. We bring these together in one strategy.

Can GEO help my brand appear in ChatGPT and AI Overviews?

Yes. By improving technical SEO, content and brand authority, GEO can strengthen your chances of being featured in relevant AI-generated answers. While no agency can guarantee recommendations, we focus on the factors that support discoverability and credibility.

How do you measure GEO performance?

We track AI search visibility, brand mentions, citations and competitor share of voice alongside traditional SEO metrics. Where possible, we connect these insights to website traffic, enquiries, conversions and revenue to understand their wider commercial impact.

Is GEO replacing SEO?

No. GEO builds on the same principles that make traditional SEO effective. We treat AI search as an extension of your wider search strategy, not a replacement for it.

How does Generative AI affect SEO?

AI is changing how people research, compare and discover brands. Instead of relying solely on traditional search results, customers can now receive direct AI recommendations. For travel brands, this creates new opportunities to reach potential customers earlier in their booking journey.
