Be the stay AI recommends when travelers plan.

Travelers ask AI where to stay and what to book. The answer names a few places. SearchFIT shows whether yours is one, and helps you publish the guides answers draw on.

The maths

What missing from AI answers costs a boutique hotel.

A typical US boutique hotel, worked out in the open. Cited figures link to their source, and every assumption says so.

50,000Travelers choosing where to stay in your city a year(assumption)
42%US adults who use AI chatbots to search for information1
50%Answers that name a competitor, not you(assumption)
1%Of those, who would have booked with you(assumption)
$900Average stay value(assumption)
Lost every year$94,500
Won back when SearchFIT gets you named$28,300Assumes 3 in 10 of those travelers choose you once you are named (assumption)

An estimate, not a promise. The 42% is the share of all US adults who told Pew in February 2026 that they use chatbots to search for information. No checked source measures AI use when choosing where to stay, so this general figure stands in, and it is what people said rather than measured behaviour. Traveler volume, the share of answers naming another hotel, the booking share, stay value and the 3 in 10 are assumptions.
