What’s a house without a foundation?

That’s AEO without SEO.

As AI-powered search becomes more commonplace, many marketers are looking for ways to optimize for answer engines. But before AI can recommend your content, it needs to find it, understand it, and trust it.

That starts with SEO.

AI search experiences are changing how people discover your brand, but the websites that perform the best in answer engines are usually the same ones that have invested in strong SEO fundamentals for years.

Don’t skip the foundation.

What happens when one of the vacation rental industry's most discussed topics gets a practical, experience-driven perspective?

In a recent episode of The Vacation Rental Show, Bill Faeth shares his thoughts on co-hosting, merchant-of-record responsibilities, and why business structure matters more than industry labels. Drawing from his experience as an owner, co-host, and property manager, he explains how operators can create clarity around ownership, financial responsibility, and homeowner relationships.

Our latest blog highlights key takeaways from the conversation and explores what co-hosts and property managers can learn from one another as the industry continues to evolve.

There’s a growing gap in the STR industry, and it’s widening fast.

On one side:
PMCs reacting to performance drops

On the other:
PMCs shaping demand before it shows up

The gap between them?
Revenue, margins, and long-term growth.

If you’re not actively planning demand—you’re competing at a disadvantage.

A guest added your property to their cart.

Then their dog needed out; their child started a surprise mural project in the hallway, and they were suddenly reminded that they were supposed to be at an appointment approximately two minutes ago.

Life happens.

That doesn't mean they stopped wanting to book your property.

Cart abandonment follow-up helps bring interested travelers back to where they left off, helping you recover bookings and create a smoother booking experience for guests.

Learn about other ways booking journeys break down and how to keep more guests moving toward a confirmed stay.

Every couple of weeks, it seems like LinkedIn picks a new take on AEO.

First, AEO was killing SEO.
Then it was overhyped.

The reality? Travelers don’t care about which search optimizations we’re making. They care about finding the right vacation home.

And we have to acknowledge that some of those answers come from AI.

📈800M ChatGPT weekly active users
📈1.5B+ Google AI Overview users
📈AI referral traffic growing across the board

Brands that aren’t optimizing for AI visibility risk becoming less visible.

Here’s the important part:

AEO isn’t replacing SEO. The principles behind great SEO still apply to AEO. AEO strategy is an expansion of SEO.

The brands getting it right are publishing content that performs across traditional and AI-powered search.

That’s why our AEO strategy brushes hype aside and focuses on what’s important: helping you stay visible wherever travelers are searching.
Because visibility is the first step to driving bookings, no matter where the search starts.

Booking behavior in STR isn’t just shifting, it’s splitting.

• Budget stays → shorter booking windows
• Premium homes → earlier bookings + higher conversion
• Direct channel performance → widening gap

Applying one strategy across your portfolio?
That’s now a risk

The smartest PMCs are segmenting early—and winning because of it.
