How to Get Your Property Found on ChatGPT: A Practical Guide

Being found by a traveller is the beginning. The goal is for them to understand what you offer, feel confident about the stay and be able to book directly with you.

Photos show the space. Reviews describe previous guests’ experiences. Your website should connect these with the practical answers someone needs before deciding: which room suits them, what the stay includes, what it costs and how to book.

Accommodation research supports this approach. In Expedia Group’s international 2025 Traveler Value Index, price and positive reviews were leading hotel-selection priorities, alongside the importance of refunds and flexible changes. In Baymard Institute’s accommodation website testing (2022), incomplete descriptions and unclear charges made choosing a stay harder. Our design takeaway: imagery, trust and clear information need to work together.

If you are wondering how to get your hotel or rental recommended by ChatGPT, start with the information people can find about you. It should explain your location, who the accommodation suits and how to contact you. No setting guarantees a recommendation. There is, however, concrete work you can do on your online presence.

This guide concerns discovery through AI search, not buying advertising. It is also for owners who do not have their own website yet.

Start with what the traveller actually needs

Consider a question like:

“Where can we stay in Sithonia with two children, a kitchen and parking?”

“An unforgettable holiday in paradise” answers none of those questions. A beautiful photo does not explain how many people a room sleeps or whether the kitchen is private.

For a property that genuinely has these features, a useful description might be:

“An apartment for two adults and two children, with a separate bedroom, an equipped kitchen and one parking space per apartment.”

This is an illustrative example, not a description of a real property. Its value is specificity: guests can tell whether the accommodation fits their needs without asking you every basic question.

What your own website should explain

You do not need dozens of articles to start. Build a complete presentation around the questions guests already ask you.

Include limitations too. Stairs without a lift, a busy nearby road or seasonal opening dates are useful information. They help attract guests whose expectations match the stay.

At MyStaySite, we organise content around these actual details. You know your property and the questions guests ask. We turn that knowledge into clear pages, so travellers can understand what you offer and whether the stay suits them.

Make it easy to move towards a booking

AI search preparation supports discovery. The page a guest reaches then needs to make the next step clear, including on their phone.

1. Choose a room. Find the photos, capacity, amenities and essential terms together for that specific option.
2. Provide dates and guest numbers. Use a clearly visible button and a short form or message, without searching for a way to contact you.
3. Know how the booking is completed. Either receive availability, a total price and confirmation instructions from you, or complete the booking online through a connected booking system.

The journey we design is: understand the stay → choose dates → proceed to confirmation. Our aim is to reduce unanswered questions and unnecessary steps between interest and a booking.

A WhatsApp message is an enquiry, not a confirmed reservation. If you need live availability, online payment or synchronisation with platforms, we select a suitable system and agree its costs separately.

The technical preparation, in plain language

A clear presentation also needs technical preparation: who can read the pages, how they find your rooms and how the information is organised. We handle that setup. Below, we explain what each part does and why it matters.

What we set up behind your website

You do not need to learn to code. The technical preparation supports a simple journey:

1. 1

   Access

   Search engines can read the public pages.

2. 2

   Clear information

   Rooms, amenities and location are described accurately.

3. 3

   A path to booking

   Guests can easily find how to request availability or book through a connected system.

Which pages crawlers are allowed to readrobots.txt · Allow / Disallow

robots.txt gives instructions to crawlers, the programs that visit pages. Allow permits specified paths; Disallow asks crawlers not to read them. We check the applicable rules so your rooms and public information are not accidentally blocked.

An explicit Allow is not always needed: access may already be permitted. We do not replace the file with a blanket instruction to open everything. robots.txt does not protect private data or bypass passwords.

AI search and training are separateOAI-SearchBot · GPTBot · ChatGPT-User

There is no single setting for every AI service. In ChatGPT, these roles differ:

OAI-SearchBot

Handles ChatGPT search and surfacing websites in its search results.

GPTBot

Collects content that may be used for model training. Permission is independent of search access.

ChatGPT-User

May visit a page following a user action. It does not determine search inclusion.

Checking for other technical blocksnoindex · Server access

noindex is an instruction in a page or server response asking for exclusion from a search index. It does not belong in robots.txt. Google must be able to read the page to apply it. We check public pages for unwanted noindex instructions, errors and blocks imposed by site protection systems.

We do not turn off security across the site to admit a crawler. Guest details, reservations and private files remain protected by actual access controls.

Finding the right pages and informationsitemap.xml · Readable content

sitemap.xml is a directory of website addresses. It helps page discovery, not ranking priority. Essential information also belongs in the pages as text, rather than only within photos.

For example: how many people the apartment sleeps, what its kitchen contains and the distance to the beach. Both the traveller and a search tool need to be able to read those details.

Organised information about your propertyStructured data · Schema

We add appropriate technical fields for facts such as the name, address and property type. They must match what guests see on the page. We do not invent reviews or amenities.

This is not an AI certification. Google’s AI features do not require a special “AI schema”, and structured data alone does not guarantee inclusion.

A short guide to your contentllms.txt · Supplementary, not a prerequisite

llms.txt is a proposed, optional file format with a brief introduction and links to useful information. For accommodation, it could organise room, amenity, location and contact pages for tools that use it.

It does not grant access, replace robots.txt or register your property with ChatGPT. We do not present it as a prerequisite for appearing. Google says it does not use it for Search visibility or rankings. We consider it supplementary content organisation, not a promise of promotion.

You provide the information. We handle the setup.

The aim is an accessible, understandable website that helps your guests. Technical preparation does not guarantee that an AI service will select or recommend your property.

Keep your information consistent wherever guests find you

Check your name, telephone number, map location and amenities across your website and the profiles you manage. If one page says parking is free and another says there is none, resolve the inconsistency first.

Good reviews can support your presentation. Attribute them and publish only material you have permission to use. Avoid ratings without a source and unsupported claims such as “the best in the area.”

You do not need to close your platform listings. Your website works alongside them as your official presentation, with your information and a direct way to contact you. If you manage a Google Business Profile, see our setup guide.

How to tell whether it brings interest

Try a few specific questions a guest might ask and inspect the sources in the answers. Focus on whether the information about your property is correct. If you spot an error, check the source page first.

Do not treat a screenshot of one conversation as proof of success. For your business, track:

• Visits from AI services where the referring source is identifiable in analytics.
• Actual messages and enquiries, not just WhatsApp button clicks.
• Bookings that were confirmed, and guests’ answers to “Where did you find us?”

What we handle at MyStaySite

We start with the property, not a ready-made template. We discuss your location, rooms and the guests you want to attract. We use your photos and information, write the copy and have you check it before publication.

We build the Greek and English presentation, search-friendly structure and the guest’s path towards a booking. We organise rooms, amenities, location and terms, alongside clear contact options or your chosen booking system. AI search preparation is part of that overall work.

Explore real websites we have built and what the service includes. To start the conversation, your property’s name and location are enough. I will explain what I recommend for your accommodation and what it costs before you decide.
