Hospitality SEO Agency

    The Hospitality SEO Agency for Direct Bookings

    EpicEdits helps five-star hotels and boutique resorts rank in Google and get cited by ChatGPT when UHNW guests are choosing where to stay — so you win direct bookings and pay less OTA commission.

    How Guests Search

    Hospitality SEO built for the searches that book

    UHNW guests use specific, high-intent searches. Your property must rank for them before an OTA captures the booking.

    City & Resort Hotels

    Five-star city hotels and destination resorts compete against OTAs with vast content budgets. Direct-booking SEO targets the high-intent searches OTAs cannot personalise.

    Example search terms

    five-star hotel Mayfair
    luxury resort Maldives
    boutique hotel Paris
    design hotel Tokyo
    spa resort Tuscany

    Suites & Experiences

    Guests search by suite, view, and experience, not just by city. Suite-level and experience-level pages capture searches OTAs rarely rank for.

    Example search terms

    water villa Maldives
    penthouse suite London
    hotel with private chef
    honeymoon suite Santorini
    presidential suite Dubai

    AI & Concierge Search

    UHNW guests ask AI tools for shortlists and use concierge services that rely on what AI returns. Your property needs to be the answer those systems give.

    Example search terms

    best luxury hotel in Rome
    quiet five-star resort Bali
    family suite Lake Como
    adults-only resort Greece
    hotel near private terminal

    AI Visibility

    How AI tools shape hotel bookings

    UHNW guests now use ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews to shortlist hotels before they make direct contact. They ask questions like "best luxury hotel in Rome" or "quiet five-star resort in Bali". AI tools reply with named properties — sourced from content they treat as authoritative.

    Most hotels are invisible to AI search. Their pages lack the entity schema and structured content that LLMs need to cite a specific property with confidence. OTAs already fill that gap. Early movers in AI citation build a direct-booking advantage that compounds over time.

    Jacob Milner's team at EpicEdits builds AI citation for hospitality clients using the same approach developed for luxury travel SEO and private jet SEO. See the full range of services.

    • Entity schema for your property, rooms, and destination that LLMs can parse
    • Editorial citation building in travel media AI training data draws from
    • Regular AI query testing to monitor your citation frequency versus OTAs
    • Content structured to directly answer the queries guests type into ChatGPT
