GET YOUR VENUE FOUND BY AI

When someone asks ChatGPT "where should I eat in Richmond?" - does your venue show up?

The way people find restaurants, pubs and cafes is changing. Fast. Millions of Australians now ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Copilot for recommendations instead of scrolling through search results. If your venue isn’t showing up in those AI-generated answers, you’re invisible to a growing chunk of your potential customers.

That’s where GEO comes in. Generative Engine Optimisation is about making sure AI platforms know your venue exists, understand what makes it worth recommending, and actually include it when someone asks.

No one is more surprised than me that I’m considered an expert in AI. But here’s the thing — this isn’t really about technology. It’s about making sure the basics of your business are visible, accurate and compelling across the platforms that matter now.

Phase 1: Assessment

We start with a structured audit of your venue’s current AI visibility. Where are you showing up? Where aren’t you? What’s missing? This gives us a clear baseline and a prioritised list of what to fix first. The assessment is designed to be an affordable entry point — you’ll walk away with useful insights regardless of whether we work together beyond this.

Phase 2: Implementation

This is where the real work happens. We optimise your digital footprint so AI platforms can find, understand and recommend your venue. That includes your Google Business Profile, structured data on your website, directory listings, and platform-specific tactics across the tools people are actually using — from Google to TikTok’s Local Feed.

Phase 3: Optimisation

The AI landscape is shifting constantly. New platforms emerge, algorithms change, and what worked six months ago might not work tomorrow. I monitor your venue’s AI visibility and adjust the strategy as things evolve.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR HOSPITALITY

Traditional SEO isn’t dead, but it’s no longer the whole story. AI tools don’t just list ten blue links — they recommend specific venues. They name names. And they draw on a different set of signals to decide who gets mentioned and who gets ignored.

Most hospitality businesses haven’t caught up with this shift yet. That’s both the challenge and the opportunity.

WHY ME?

I’m a hospitality person who understands AI — not an AI person who’s discovered hospitality. I’ve spent 30 years in this industry. I know how venues operate, what owners care about, and what actually moves the needle. That means I focus on practical outcomes, not technical jargon.
