Hotels
Travelers now ask AI platforms which hotels to book for a trip, a neighborhood, or an event, and the answers draw on reviews and listings. Our independent analysts studied the agencies that have had the most success at hotel GEO and AEO, presented below.
What to look for
| Buying criteria | Ask how the agency gets a hotel recommended for its location, amenities, and guest types, and how it tracks direct bookings from AI referrals. |
|---|---|
| Proof that matters | Ask for hotel clients and a dated result in direct bookings or AI citations. |
| Common mismatch | A B2B lead-generation shop, or a firm with no listings and review work. |
| Typical engagement | Expect a retainer that covers property, neighborhood, and amenity pages, listings, and reviews. |

How We Ranked These Agencies
- We started with the 14 GEO agencies in our directory that have a serious practice serving hotels.
- To qualify, a firm had to sell GEO and show hotels on its own site: a hotel service page, work for a hotel client, or hotels listed among the industries it serves.
- Each firm received a fit score out of 100. Hotel depth is worth 20 points, hotel proof 20, GEO depth 25, and three GEO and AEO editorial scores from our agency reviews 35: local and multi-location (14), entity and knowledge graph (12), and measurement (9).
- Hotel proof ranks hotel case studies that name the client first, then hotel case studies without client names, then hotel clients shown by logo, name, or testimonial, then a hotel service page alone.
- The seven highest fit scores are listed. Ties went to the firm with the higher average across all eight editorial scores.
