When a diner asks an AI assistant where to eat, it names two or three restaurants. We make sure yours is one of them.

Quick answerAI search optimisation for restaurants means structuring your website, listings and reviews so AI assistants can understand and recommend you. Hotkhana includes it in every Signature website and in AI marketing plans from ₹9,999 ($249) a month.

How it works

Six signals AI assistants look for.

Readable website

Menu as text, schema markup, llms.txt, answer-first FAQs and fast pages.

Consistent listings

Same name, address, phone and hours on Google, Apple Maps, Zomato, Swiggy, Tripadvisor and Justdial.

Review signals

More recent reviews, every one answered, dishes mentioned by name.

Mentions elsewhere

Food bloggers, local listicles and press that AI assistants cite.

Questions answered

Pages that answer what diners ask: parking, kids, vegan, live music, private dining.

Monthly AI tracking

We ask the assistants your key questions every month and report where you appear.

Step 1

A diner asks AI, not a listing app

“Best biryani near me that's open now?” goes to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI answers — and they reply with two or three names, not a list of fifty.

Step 2

The AI reads your website

It looks for a clear menu with prices, opening hours, location, reviews and photos it can trust. A PDF menu, an Instagram-only presence or a slow site gives it nothing to quote.

Step 3

Clear facts get you named

We structure your site so AI can read it: schema markup, FAQ answers, menu data, consistent Google Business details. That's what turns you from invisible into the recommendation.

Step 4

The click lands on a booking

Your site opens fast on mobile with WhatsApp, call and directions one tap away — so the recommendation becomes a table, without aggregator commissions.

FAQs

AI search questions.

What is AI search optimisation (AIO or GEO) for restaurants?

AI search optimisation — also called AIO or generative engine optimisation (GEO) — means making your restaurant easy for AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot to understand, trust and recommend.

How is AIO different from SEO?

SEO aims for a ranking in a list of links. AIO aims to be named in the AI's answer. It relies more on structured facts, consistent listings, reviews, clear question-and-answer content and being cited by other sites.

How long does it take to show up in AI answers?

Fixes to your website and listings are usually picked up in 2–8 weeks. Building enough reviews and mentions for competitive searches takes 3–6 months.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my restaurant?

No one can guarantee it. We improve the signals assistants use, track your visibility for your key searches each month and show you the change.
