Be the Stay That AI Recommends: Our VRMA 2025 Recap

Earlier this week at VRMA International in Las Vegas, our co-founder Atharva Kulkarni shared how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way travelers discover and book stays.

Our session, “Be the Stay That AI Recommends,” explored how vacation rental brands can make their properties understandable to AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Bing Copilot. Travelers are no longer typing keywords; they are asking questions, and AI decides which stays appear.

We broke down what actually matters for visibility in this new search era. AI doesn’t read your website; it reads your data. Schema markup, metadata, reviews, speed, and NAP consistency tell search engines and AI systems who you are and why you can be trusted.

Our checklist included indexing, site security, mobile performance, structured data, and review quality. We also showed practical ways to improve web vitals, simplify metadata, and strengthen internal linking in under 30 days.

The takeaway was simple: AI is not your guest; it is your auditor. Websites that are fast, structured, and consistent earn trust from both travelers and algorithms.
