Timeline & pricing

What this looks like month by month

No twelve-month lock-ins and no invented milestones. This is the pace the work actually moves at.

  1. 1

    Month 1

    Baseline prompt testing across the major assistants, entity and citation audit, and the list of pages an AI answer would need in order to name you.

  2. 2

    Month 3

    Answer-first rewrites, definitions, comparison tables, prices and tight FAQs live with schema. First citations appearing in AI Overviews for lower-competition prompts.

  3. 3

    Month 6

    Named in AI recommendations for several local prompt patterns, with the assistant-driven share of your enquiries showing up in monthly reporting.

Pricing

Included in every retainer

AI visibility work is included from £550 a month as part of any retainer. A standalone AI visibility audit — where you're cited today across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and what to change — is £650 as a one-off.

Reporting

Judged on enquiries, not impressions

One monthly report: calls, form fills, map-pack positions, organic positions and what we changed — plus a live dashboard you can open any time.

Our approach

How we build the campaign

1. Discovery

We learn your best jobs, your margins and the towns you actually want to work in — then build the plan around those, not vanity keywords.

2. Audit & baseline

Technical crawl, Google Business Profile review, competitor gap analysis and an AI visibility baseline across four assistants.

3. Foundations

Fix what's broken: site speed, indexing, schema, citations and profile completeness. This is where the early wins come from.

4. Content & authority

Service, town and industry pages written properly, plus local links and reviews that make them rank.

5. Report & refine

One monthly report in plain English: rankings, calls, form fills and what we're doing next. No 40-page PDFs.

Local detail

AI SEO (AI Overviews & LLMs) for holiday cottages & lets by location

The same trade behaves differently in each market. Here's how we adjust.

Windermere

Highest competition and highest yields; hot tub, lake view and dog-friendly qualifiers are the ranking battleground.

Keswick

Walking and adventure-led guests; route-specific content converts far better than generic cottage copy.

Appleby-in-Westmorland

The Horse Fair fortnight in June triples demand — publish availability content by mid-April.

Compliance & E-E-A-T

Furnished holiday lettings, EPC and safety requirements

The abolition of the Furnished Holiday Lettings tax regime from April 2025 changed the economics for Cumbrian owners, and lets still need gas safety certificates, electrical safety checks, a fire risk assessment and an EPC. Lake District National Park planning attitudes to short-term lets are also tightening — accurate, current content on this is genuinely useful and rarely published well by competitors.

Seasonal content calendar

  • JanPeak booking research for the year ahead; the pages must already be ranking.
  • Feb–AprEaster and half-term short-lead bookings, plus owner searches for management and marketing help.
  • Oct–DecChristmas, New Year and winter-break demand, now a serious secondary season.

FAQs

AI SEO (AI Overviews & LLMs) for holiday cottages & lets: common questions

Is ai seo worth it for holiday cottages & lets?

Only if it produces enquiries, which is why we scope it against your job values. Become the business AI assistants name when someone asks for a recommendation. For holiday cottages & lets, that usually means fewer, better pages targeted at the jobs you actually want, rather than broad traffic that never converts.

How do you tailor ai seo to holiday cottages & lets?

By using your own service, pricing and compliance detail as the raw material. Local guide content: walks, pubs, wet-weather days, dog-friendly spots That specificity is what separates a page that ranks from one that reads like every competitor's.

Which locations do you cover for holiday cottages & lets?

Cumbria in depth plus twenty UK cities including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Bristol. Each location gets its own page, so you appear in the map packs that matter instead of one generic service area.

Is AI SEO different from normal SEO?

It overlaps but isn't identical. Classic SEO wins a ranking position; AI SEO wins a citation inside a generated answer. The extra work is answer-first structure, entity clarity and third-party source coverage.

Can you actually measure whether ChatGPT mentions us?

Yes. We run a fixed prompt set on a schedule and log which businesses are named. It's sampled rather than exhaustive, but the trend is reliable and you see the raw responses.

Will appearing in AI Overviews cost me clicks?

Some informational clicks, yes. But being the cited business on a 'best X in Kendal' answer sends far higher-intent traffic than the blog visits you lose.
