**There is no guaranteed time to appear in AI recommendations.** Correcting a page, getting it crawled and seeing a different AI answer are separate events. An answer can also change when you have done nothing. Treat the following as a work plan, not a forecast of ranking gains.

## Week 1: keep a baseline

Write five to ten questions a guest who does not know your venue might ask. Save the exact answers, sources, date and search settings. Check whether your important pages are accessible and indexable. Start with the [hotel checklist](https://akkrev.com/ai-seo/ai-seo-checklist-for-hotels/) or [restaurant checklist](https://akkrev.com/ai-seo/ai-seo-checklist-for-restaurants/).

## Weeks 2 to 4: improve existing information

Correct the room, menu, opening-hours or booking facts guests need. Update the profiles you manage. Improve an existing useful page before adding another article. Record what changed and when; indexing and citations may take longer than the edit itself.

## Later checks: compare like with like

Repeat the same guest questions under comparable conditions. Keep question changes and model changes separate from trends. Review real search clicks, referral visits and enquiries alongside model mentions. Neither a higher sampled score nor more indexed pages proves that an edit caused more bookings.

## When does Akkrev deliver a first report?

Within seven days of a completed venue profile. That is a delivery target for your report, not a deadline for improved visibility.
