Be the business AI recommends first.
See how ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity discover, cite and recommend your travel business.
Search is changing.
Travelers are increasingly asking AI where to stay, what to book and which businesses to trust.
AI doesn’t show ten blue links. It recommends a few names.
The question is whether yours is one of them.
How Wayseering sees the market
1
Your website
The one thing you give us.
2
Understand
Business, location, category — read from the site itself.
3
Discover
Real traveler intent, from a phrasing table built and tested per market.
4
Ask
The same question put to Perplexity, Claude and ChatGPT.
5
Observe
Recommendations and citations — a mention counts only with a source.
Compare
How your category is recommended around you.
Map
Where the gaps are, and which are worth closing.
Improve
Change what AI reads about you.
The first five stages run on every scan. The last three are what the research programme is building — we would rather name them than draw them as though they already shipped.
Discovery is being redrawn.

Each one a real question put to a platform, not a row from a cache.
Measured by us. Most of them do not know about it.
Sites returned by search, before manual and model review.
Where candidates have been collected — not where customers are.
None of these numbers counts customers. This is the volume of measurement work done. The businesses counted here are subjects of a study — they signed up for nothing and pay us nothing. It is the size of a research programme, not the size of a company.
Questions we have asked AI
Each market is measured in the language its travellers actually use, so these are not all in English. The language is chosen by measurement rather than by a country’s official one — an English query returned twice as many real operators in Thailand as a Thai one, while in Brazil English returned none and Portuguese returned nine. How that is decided.

Real questions from the measurement series, with the time each was actually asked. The sweep runs once a day, so these are usually hours old — the feed is live in the sense that it is not made up, not in the sense that something is happening this second.
Being there is not the same as being found.
