Hotel operators, marketers, commercial leaders, and any business reliant on search-driven discovery
Why It Fits Hospitality
Addresses the exact AI visibility gap hotel operators face today
A practitioner's playbook for getting found in the age of AI search. The book documents the discovery crisis — how AI Overviews and generative search have collapsed organic click-through rates and created a new form of competitive exclusion — then delivers a complete, repeatable framework across the full Visibility Stack: SEO, AEO, GEO, and real-time AI Visibility. Each chapter translates directly to hospitality, with actionable guidance on Schema.org structured data, building a three-tier citation network AI platforms trust, and creating content designed for extraction rather than browsing.
Hospitality Relevance
Written by Michael J. Goldrich — Co-Chair of the Hospitality AI Council at HFTP and co-lead of Data Strategy for Generative AI Platforms at Kellogg/Northwestern — the book is rooted in hospitality examples and is the most direct answer to why hotels are losing bookings they never knew were at risk.
