AI Search Optimisation Training for Tourism & Hospitality
Travellers no longer search the way they used to. Instead of scrolling through endless lists of links, they’re asking AI engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, and Perplexity for direct answers. If your tourism or hospitality business isn’t cited in those few results, you risk being invisible.
Our training shows you exactly how to optimise your pages for AI search so you’re recommended first. You’ll also learn separate strategies for voice search (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant) and visual search (Google Lens, Meta Vision). With bite-sized, pre-recorded lessons in our Zero-to-Hero course plus monthly upskilling tutorials (15–30 minutes each), you’ll always stay ahead as AI evolves.

Frequently asked questions
What is AI search optimisation?
AI search optimisation (sometimes called Generative Engine Optimisation or GEO) is about structuring your content so that AI engines understand, trust, and cite your business in their answers. This involves schema, knowledge graphs, conversational answers, and optimising for the way AI tools “read” the web.
Why generative engines matter
Tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, and Perplexity are now central to how travellers plan. They’re used alongside voice assistants and visual search apps that recommend hotels, tours, and restaurants instantly. Businesses already optimising for AI search are winning more direct bookings - and leaving competitors behind.
