Are online reviews important for AI Search on ChatGPT & Co.?

Yes, and more than ever. For local businesses like restaurants and hotels, reviews are one of the strongest signals that AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and others use when recommending businesses. Generally, when it comes to ranking, what works in SEO will also help you rank well in AI tools. This includes:

  • Optimized Google Business Profile – Complete, accurate information
  • High review volume and quality – Shows credibility and authority
  • Local citations – Consistent business information across the web
  • External links – Quality backlinks from reputable sources
  • Relevant keywords – Natural integration on your website
  • Engaging social content – What your customers actually want to see

re:spondelligent helps you excel at the most critical factor: review volume and quality. Our platform makes it easy to generate more reviews, respond strategically across all relevant platforms, and use advanced sentiment analysis to understand what drives your ratings, improving your visibility in both traditional search and AI recommendations.

How is AI changing the way guests search for restaurants & hotels?

While Google continues to dominate the search industry, the way guests interact with it is changing. Today, the choice of tool depends heavily on the guest’s search intent and the complexity of their decision:

  • Quick Information (Google Search & Maps): For immediate needs or simple facts, guests still rely on traditional search. Someone looking for a “lunch special nearby” or quickly checking a “restaurant’s opening hours” will use Google Search or Maps. Here, speed and accurate local data are key.

  • In-depth Research (AI Tools like ChatGPT & Perplexity): For “high-involvement” decisions—such as finding a “3-Michelin-star restaurant for a special anniversary” or a “premium hotel with a specific wellness focus”—AI acts as a digital concierge. These tools analyze thousands of guest reviews to provide tailored recommendations for high-end requirements.

This means it is no longer enough to just be visible on traditional platforms like Google Maps and TripAdvisor. You must also ensure your business information is easily accessible and “trusted” by AI-driven tools.

How re:spondelligent helps: Because both traditional search engines and AI models rely heavily on review data to rank and recommend businesses, managing your online reputation has become essential. re:spondelligent ensures you build and maintain a strong, trustworthy presence wherever guests are searching.

Which review platforms matter most for the AI visibility of hotels and restaurants?

Google Business Profiles (Google Maps ). Most important overall for AI visibility. Used heavily by Google Gemini, ChatGPT (via Bing), Perplexity, and Apple’s new AI features. Google reviews provide structured data (rating, quantity, recency) that feeds directly into AI summaries and local search results.

TripAdvisor. Key for hospitality and restaurant businesses. Data is used by Bing AI, ChatGPT, and other travel-related AI tools.

Yelp. Highly influential in Perplexity, Apple Maps, and Siri’s AI answers.

Facebook / Meta Reviews. Carries less SEO weight but remains visible in AI-generated social summaries and Meta’s own assistant (Meta AI).

Industry-Specific Platforms like OpenTable for restaurants, and Booking.com, Expedia for hotels.

Your Own Website (First-Party Reviews). AI systems crawl and index structured review snippets (Schema.org markup). Displaying verified first-party reviews on your website improves your AI search visibility.

Restaurants and hotels should focus on building a strong presence across these key review platforms. re:spondelligent helps manage all of them, including major delivery platforms that are essential for restaurant visibility. With IWantTo.Review, businesses can easily generate first-party reviews and showcase them on their website, strengthening credibility and improving AI and search ranking performance.

How do I manage reviews for multiple locations or branches?

Businesses with multiple locations can perfectly mirror their internal processes within re:spondelligent. This means you can add all your restaurants and hotels, organize them into various groups or clusters, and manage access via customizable user rights. This ensures that re:spondelligent is used efficiently across the entire organization, from corporate headquarters to the on-site teams. Furthermore, comprehensive reporting and benchmarking allow you to analyze and optimize performance across all branches.

How should I respond to negative reviews for my restaurant or hotel?

A negative review often feels like a personal attack, but it is actually one of your greatest marketing opportunities. Statistically, 45% of consumers are more likely to visit a business that responds to negative feedback. To turn a critic into a fan, you should:

  • Be polite: Thank the guest and apologize for not meeting their expectations.

  • Be objective: Calmly explain the situation to give future guests the full picture.

  • Take it private: Provide a phone number or email to resolve the issue off-platform.

  • Report fakes: If a review is fraudulent or violates policies, request its removal.

By responding professionally, you build trust and show that you value guest satisfaction. For a detailed guide, read our full article on how to handle negative customer reviews.
