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.

Phase 2: Fix & Align

This is where the practical work happens. We fix the technical issues that are blocking AI tools from reading your site, and we audit your messaging across every platform for consistency and accuracy. You get fixes to the highest-impact items, plus a prioritised list of quick wins you can action straight away. Where deeper content work is needed, we’ll tell you exactly what and why.

Phase 3: Review

Three months after the initial work, we run a follow-up assessment so you can see what’s improved and where to focus next. No guesswork, just a clear before-and-after picture.

Stay Visible

Optional monthly monitoring. AI platforms change constantly. New features roll out, algorithms shift, competitors catch up. Our monthly monitoring service tracks your AI visibility, alerts you if anything needs attention, and gives you one actionable insight each month. Every six months we run a deeper review to make sure you’re still ahead. It’s a small monthly investment to protect the work we’ve already done.

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.
