Stay Indexed is a generative engine optimization (GEO) service for hotels that asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity the questions travelers actually ask, then reports how often a property gets recommended and what to fix.
What is Stay Indexed?
Stay Indexed is an AI visibility auditing tool built only for accommodation properties. You paste a hotel's website URL, the service verifies it is a real property and detects its name, city and segment, then runs traveler-style prompts through four AI assistants using their official APIs. It returns a web report plus a shareable PDF with an AI Visibility score (0-100), an AI Readiness score (0-100), the competitor hotels AI recommends instead, sentiment and citation analysis, and a prioritized fix plan. It runs in the browser, and the entry scan needs no signup.
What makes Stay Indexed stand out?
- Four-platform coverage — every scan interrogates ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity through official APIs with live web access; Google AI Overviews coverage is listed as roadmap, not shipping.
- Two separate scores — AI Visibility measures how often assistants recommend the property, its list position, description sentiment and whether credit goes to the hotel site or an OTA taking commission; AI Readiness audits hotel schema markup, AI crawler access, llms.txt, Google Business Profile, third-party citations and direct-versus-OTA balance.
- Run averaging — the full report sends 60+ traveler prompts across 4 platforms, 3 runs each, and averages them so the score reflects a pattern rather than one lucky answer.
- Competitor set per intent — shows which hotels win for honeymoon, family, business and last-minute questions, per platform.
- Copy-paste fix plan — prioritized schema markup, llms.txt and content fixes ordered by impact.
- Per-property reports — each property keeps its own scan, competitor set and permanent report link; two or more properties on one domain also unlock a portfolio summary.
Who should use Stay Indexed?
- Independent hotel operators: check whether assistants recommend their property for queries like "best boutique hotel for a quiet weekend in Lisbon" and apply the fix list in-house.
- Hotel marketing agencies: generate a client-ready PDF with competitor and citation-source data to underpin a GEO retainer.
- Multi-property groups: run per-property scans and compare scores side by side in a portfolio summary.
- Revenue and distribution managers: see whether AI answers credit the direct website or route bookings through OTAs.
What can you do with Stay Indexed?
- Free competitive check: run the no-signup scan to get both scores, one competitor AI recommends instead of you, and your single highest-priority fix.
- Intent-by-intent benchmarking: with the full report, see which rivals own each traveler intent across all four platforms.
- Markup and content repair: hand the copy-paste-ready schema markup, llms.txt and content fixes to a developer or agency the same day.
- Group reporting: stack property scores in a portfolio summary for owners or management companies.
How does Stay Indexed work?
- Paste the property website; a pre-check verifies it is real accommodation (hotels, resorts, B&Bs, villas, aparthotels) and detects name, city and segment.
- It asks guest-style questions — honeymoon, family, business, last-minute — across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity via official APIs.
- You receive two scores, competitor context and a prioritized fix plan. The free scan is ready in about two minutes; the full report is generated and emailed within the hour.
Pricing
A free scan returns both scores, one competitor, the top priority fix and an emailed summary. The full visibility report costs $99 one-time per property for 60+ prompts across 4 platforms with 3 runs each, full competitor set, sentiment and citation analysis, the complete fix plan, and a web report plus PDF. Additional properties from the same group are $69 each instead of $99, and groups with 5+ properties are asked to contact the team.
FAQ
Is Stay Indexed just SEO with new branding?
No. Traditional SEO targets blue links on a results page, while Stay Indexed targets what an AI assistant says when a traveler asks where to stay. It weights entity data, third-party citations and structured markup differently from classic rankings — the practice is called GEO, generative engine optimization.
Which AI platforms does it check?
ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, all queried through their official APIs with live web access so sessions behave like real guest queries. Google AI Overviews is not covered yet; the page lists it as roadmap rather than a current feature.
How accurate are the scores?
AI answers vary between runs, so every prompt is run multiple times and averaged. Each report ships with the full methodology: the exact prompts, platforms, run counts and scoring rules used to produce the numbers.
What happens if I enter a website that isn't a hotel?
A pre-check verifies the site is real accommodation. Hotels, resorts, B&Bs, villas and aparthotels qualify; if the site is not one, Stay Indexed says so and no report is generated. OTA and portal pages cannot be scanned.
Can I scan more than one property?
Yes. Reports are priced per property, with additional properties from the same group at $69 instead of $99. Once you hold reports for two or more properties on one domain, you also get a portfolio summary comparing their scores, and each report keeps its own permanent link.
