Y8Y

Y8Y is an AI search visibility agency specialized in answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO) for hotels, short-term rental property managers and real estate agencies. Based in Switzerland, we help independent and boutique hotels, hotel groups, property managers with 20+ units and real estate agencies get named and recommended when travelers, guests and buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, Claude, Google AI Overviews and DeepSeek where to stay, who to rent from or which agency to trust.

Most hospitality and property brands are invisible in AI answers because their data is inconsistent across Google Business Profile, Booking.com, Airbnb, review platforms and their own website. Y8Y fixes this at the source: we align your entity data, build structured content and schema markup that AI engines can cite, strengthen reviews and third-party mentions, and optimize your Google Maps presence so you appear in both local SEO results and generative AI answers.

Our services include an AI visibility audit across 6 AI answer engines, weekly monitoring of how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI and DeepSeek describe and rank your property, entity and data alignment across Google, OTAs, review sites and your website, AEO, GEO and local SEO content, Google Maps and Google Business Profile optimization, and monthly visibility scoring and reporting. Add-ons cover branding, social media and workflow automation for reviews, guest inquiries and reporting.

We serve independent hotels, boutique hotels, hotel groups, vacation rental and serviced apartment operators, and real estate agencies across Europe and North America, including Zurich, Geneva, Paris, London, Vienna, Berlin, Rome, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Barcelona, Miami, New Orleans and New York, in English, French and Spanish.

Our principle is simple: nothing is invented, and everything is measured, every month. Every client gets a transparent monthly score showing in which AI engines their brand is named, for which questions, and how that changes over time.
