Distribution AI Team
A smarter way to get found
and booked
A coordinated AI distribution team helps you understand how you appear online, defend your brand, and build a clearer path to more direct bookings.
The booking journey is working against you
Guests discover hotels across search, content, and AI tools.
But OTAs increasingly position themselves between you and your guests, influencing visibility and extracting margin.
That’s where an AI distribution team makes the difference.
Meet the
Distribution AI team
A growing team of AI specialists focused on improving how your hotel is discovered, marketed, and booked online.
These teammates don’t replace your marketing team or agency. They support your current function with improved understanding and a roadmap to stronger direct bookings.
GEO Consultant
Evaluates how your hotel appears across generative AI-driven discovery tools, like ChatGPT and Gemini, using a structured, hospitality-specific GEO framework.
Identifies gaps, inconsistencies, and missed opportunities, then recommends actions to drive direct bookings as search behavior evolves.
Marketing Agent
Identifies when OTAs are intercepting high-intent searches for your hotel and where direct bookings are being lost.
Recommends and initiates targeted paid campaigns to reclaim demand and improve direct booking performance.
Direct Booking Assistant
Engages guests on your website to answer questions and keep their attention focused on booking direct.
Helps visitors move from browsing to booking by removing hesitation in real time and sharing direct booking links when intent is high.
What the Distribution AI
team helps you do
Your new teammates focus on outcomes that matter to hotel revenue.
Get found in AI-driven discovery
Improve how your hotel appears in AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, as discovery shifts from keyword search to AI-driven recommendations.
Keep guests booking direct
Ensure guests land on your own website, then answer questions and guide visitors toward direct reservations, without losing them to OTAs or distractions.
Protect your brand and margin
Stop predatory OTAs from hijacking direct bookings and siphoning commission.
Create clarity across marketing efforts
Give GMs, marketing teams, and agencies a shared view of what’s working, what isn’t, and what to prioritize next.

AI tools are shaping how travelers choose hotels
40%
of travelers use AI tools for trip planning and booking
70%
of hotel bookings involve AI-driven recommendations
2x
use of GenAI in trip planning doubled last year
OTAs are investing aggressively to own AI discovery. If hotels don’t actively manage how they appear in generative AI, intermediaries will own the channel and capture the booking.
A calmer way to approach distribution
Just asked ChatGPT. You showed up.
Your hotel appears accurately when travelers research where to stay using AI tools.
They didn’t.
Questions are answered in the moment, keeping attention on your site instead of drifting to OTAs.
Aligned.
GMs, marketing teams, and agencies work from the same dashboard and priorities.
OT-what? I booked direct.
OTAs didn’t distract your prospective guest. They found your website and got the best experience.
Works with how you
market today
The Distribution AI team is designed to support hotels regardless of how marketing is managed.
Whether you handle marketing in-house or work with an agency, it provides a shared source of truth and a clear roadmap for improving visibility and direct bookings.
For in-house teams
Get clarity on where to focus and what will actually move bookings, without needing deep technical expertise.

The easiest place to
start with AI
Distribution is the easiest way to put AI to work in your hotel.
There’s no change to guest service or daily operations. The AI team analyzes visibility, booking behavior, and leakage, then recommends actions that improve margins and direct bookings.
For most hotels, that’s a no-brainer.
AI recommendations, human decisions
- Recommendations improve margins without affecting how your team works day to day.
- The AI team surfaces opportunities and next steps. You decide what to act on.
- Even small improvements in direct bookings and visibility can have an outsized impact on revenue.
If or when you’re ready to expand your AI journey, you’ve already laid the groundwork.
