Be the venue
AI recommends.
Search has changed. People are now asking AI where to eat, drink and go – and getting recommendations to cafés, restaurants, pubs, bars, bakeries and patisseries.
If you’re not on the shortlist, you’re missing out on business.
We show you if your venue is being found by AI – and how to become easier to recommend.
AI Search Visibility Scan. No payment required.

The old goal was to rank.
The new goal is to be recommended.
Hospitality venues have focussed on ranking on Google, building social followings and collecting reviews to attract more customers to their venues.
All of that still matters. But AI tools like ChatGPT, Google and Claude now gather information from across the web and decide which venues to recommend.
