Reddit and AI recommendations for hotels and restaurants
Updated By Akkrev
AI assistants read Reddit threads where locals and travellers recommend places. What that means for hospitality businesses, and what not to do.
“Where do locals actually eat in Edinburgh?” threads are exactly what AI assistants read when they want an honest answer.
Why Reddit matters
It’s full of first-hand recommendations, and AI companies have content deals and crawling arrangements with it. Its threads often appear in AI citations for local questions.
What hospitality businesses should do
- Read the threads about your area. See which places get recommended and why.
- Don’t fake it. Posting as a fake customer breaks Reddit’s rules and consumer law, and communities spot it quickly.
- Be worth recommending. The honest route is making the experience people mention.
- Answer openly if you take part. Owners who reply as themselves, helpfully, are usually welcome.
