Visibility in Claude: how Claude recommends your hotel

Claude by Anthropic is increasingly used for travel planning. geowatt measures whether Claude recommends your hotel, together with ChatGPT and Gemini.

How Claude chooses hotels

  • Claude answers from training knowledge and, with web search enabled, can retrieve and cite current sources.
  • Anthropic uses its own crawlers (e.g. ClaudeBot). Your robots.txt decides whether your pages may be read.
  • Clear, well-structured facts on your website make it easier to describe your hotel correctly.

What your hotel can do

  • Allow Anthropic crawlers in your robots.txt.
  • Keep facts on your own website clear and complete: location, amenities, target guests, prices, arrival.
  • Keep Schema.org (Hotel, FAQPage) and an llms.txt up to date via Auto-Sync so AI finds your facts in machine-readable form.
  • Maintain Google, Tripadvisor and Booking profiles with identical name, address and phone (NAP).

Why visibility in Claude matters for hotels

Guests ask Claude for a recommendation, not a list of links. The answer usually names only a few hotels. If yours is missing, it is not compared and not booked.

Every recommendation that leads to your website can become a direct booking without OTA commission.

Where Claude gets its hotel knowledge

Anthropic's Claude answers from training knowledge and, with web search enabled, fetches and cites current sources. Anthropic documents its own crawlers such as ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot and Claude-User, which you allow or block in robots.txt.

Hotels described consistently and concretely across many trusted sources get named: own website, Google Business Profile, review sites, travel guides.

Contradicting details such as different addresses or outdated offers make a recommendation less likely.
