Ongoing Add-on

Generative Engine
Optimisation.

GEO structures the venue group so AI answer engines - ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot - cite and recommend you when buyers ask who to use. As clicks shift to AI-generated answers, GEO secures visibility at the exact moment a customer asks the machine for a recommendation.

AI search now touches 37% of consumer journeys - and hospitality recommendations are among the most common AI-generated answers.

Why now - while traditional SEO momentum keeps building
