How hotels and resorts buyers research and decide
The people you need to reach are travellers, event planners and corporate bookers.
Inspiration, OTA comparison, reviews and direct booking incentives. Rates and availability must be current; reviews and photos must be genuine.
| Buyer question | Content that wins it |
|---|---|
| best resort for a family weekend near a city | Clear steps and pricing factors |
| hotel with pool and airport pickup | Clear steps and pricing factors |
| wedding venues in hotels | Expert explanation with sources |
| boutique hotels in a destination | Expert explanation with sources |
Content that tends to earn visibility in this sector: room and facility pages, destination guides, event and wedding pages, Google Business Profile. Success is measured in direct bookings and enquiries.
Signs you need AEO
- Sales keeps hearing the same questions your site does not answer clearly
- You rank on page one but competitors own the featured snippet
- Your pages bury the answer under long introductions
- Voice assistants read out a competitor's answer
- People Also Ask boxes for your topics never show your site

How I work
- Collect questions. Pull questions from Search Console, PAA, competitors, support tickets and sales notes.
- Prioritise. Rank them by buying intent and gap: where a better answer could realistically win.
- Write and restructure. Lead with the answer, then support it with steps, data, examples and sources.
- Mark up and link. Add matching schema and connect answers through internal links and hubs.
- Track and refresh. Watch snippet and AI citation changes and refresh answers when the SERP shifts.
Answer formats and when they win
| Question type | Best answer format | Example |
|---|---|---|
| What is / definition | One clear paragraph of 40 to 60 words | What is GEO? |
| How to | Numbered steps with a short intro | How to add schema in WordPress |
| Comparison | Table with 3 to 6 rows | AEO vs GEO vs SEO |
| Cost / time | Range with the factors that move it | How long does SEO take? |
| Best / top | Short list with criteria | Best AI tools for SEO |
How success is measured
Every engagement reports on a small set of numbers agreed at the start, so progress is visible and comparable month to month:
- Featured snippets won
- People Also Ask appearances
- Citations in AI Overviews and chat answers for tracked questions
- Clicks and leads from question pages
- Answer coverage across the question map

Frequently asked questions
Do you have experience with hotels and resorts?
The approach is tailored to how travellers, event planners and corporate bookers research and decide: inspiration, OTA comparison, reviews and direct booking incentives. Specific examples and references can be discussed on a call.
What is the difference between AEO and SEO?
SEO aims to rank pages; AEO aims to be the answer itself. AEO builds on SEO, because engines usually pull answers from pages they already trust, but it changes how each page is written and structured.
How quickly can a snippet be won?
Sometimes within days of a page being recrawled, sometimes never if the competitor answer is stronger. That is why I target a portfolio of questions rather than betting on one.
Will FAQ schema still help?
Google shows FAQ rich results for very few sites now, but well-written FAQ content and accurate markup still help engines and AI tools understand the page. The content matters more than the markup.
Do zero-click answers hurt my traffic?
They can reduce clicks on simple questions, but they build brand recall and often lead to branded searches later. The aim is to win the answers that lead to high-intent follow-up clicks.
Is AEO the same as GEO?
They overlap. AEO focuses on direct answers in search features and assistants; GEO focuses on being cited and recommended inside generative AI answers. In practice I run them together.
