Question 1

How do I get more direct bookings for my vacation rental?

Accepted Answer

The most effective approach combines a professional direct booking website with AEO and local SEO. When travellers search for accommodation in your area on Google or ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, your property needs to appear. A direct booking site also eliminates OTA commissions — typically 15–20% per booking.

Question 2

What is AEO and why does it matter for vacation rental hosts?

Accepted Answer

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for the best place to stay in your area, your rental needs to be the answer. Most vacation rental hosts are not optimized for AI search yet — the window to get ahead is still open.

Question 3

How is AH Media different from other marketing agencies?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in hospitality and short-term rental marketing. We build your website in 7 days, we show you the concept before you pay, and we focus on the channels that actually drive direct bookings — AEO, local SEO, and targeted Meta Ads.

Question 4

How long does it take to see results from SEO?

Accepted Answer

Most clients see meaningful movement in local search rankings within 60–90 days. AEO results can appear faster — AI search engines update their recommendations more frequently than traditional search indexes.
