The questions
We test the questions your buyers ask.
We agree at least ten buyer questions with you, then ask each one several times, on different days, in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, and in Google's AI Overviews. Examples from this market:
- What's the best property management software for a vacation rental company with 20 units?
- Which channel manager works best for a small host with Airbnb and Vrbo listings?
- What are good alternatives to the big vacation rental platforms for a boutique manager?
- Which dynamic pricing tool should a short-term rental host use?
- What software automates guest messaging for vacation rentals?
What you get
One report your team can act on.
Where you are named
Every question, every AI engine, as a rate across repeated runs. Named in 2 of 5 runs means something different from 5 of 5.
Who is named instead
The competitors AI recommends for your buyers' questions, and the pages, review sites and roundups it quotes to do it.
What AI says about you
Whether AI describes your product, your customers and your pricing correctly, and whether its crawlers can read your site.
A ranked fix list
The pages to add, the facts to publish and the listings to claim, ordered by likely impact and effort, written so your team can act on them.
A re-test
The same questions re-run after the fixes go live, so you can see what moved and which fix moved it.
Visits from AI
On the monthly plan: how many people reach your site from AI assistants, tracked in your Google Analytics.

Questions
Short answers.
Who can help vacation rental software get recommended by ChatGPT and other AI assistants?
Nice Catch! audits AI visibility for vacation rental and short-term rental software companies: property management systems, channel managers, pricing tools, guest messaging and operations software. We test the questions property managers and hosts ask AI, show who is named instead of you, and give you a ranked fix list.
Which questions do you test for a vacation rental PMS or channel manager?
At least ten questions your buyers actually ask, agreed with you before we start. Typical examples are the best software for a small vacation rental manager, alternatives to a named competitor, and which tools integrate with Airbnb and Vrbo.
Why does AI recommend some rental software and not others?
AI tends to name products that are described clearly and consistently on their own site and repeated on third-party pages it trusts, such as comparison articles, review sites and roundups. The audit shows which of those sources AI is quoting in your category.
How long does an audit take?
About a week from the kick-off call. The repeated runs need several days so we can see how much the answers vary.
Do you need access to our systems?
No. The audit uses public AI answers and your public website. For the monthly plan we ask for view-only access to Google Analytics so we can count visits from AI assistants.
