It still represented 0.4% of hotel website sessions. - **Agents will book where they can.** Sites an agent can't read or reach get skipped.

If the direct booking path stops working, the guest may take over, use an intermediary or choose another hotel. Akkrev tests the agreed steps and reports the blockers it observes. ## How it works 1. **Audit** (5 working days). We test the agreed booking steps on your website and document where each agent gets stuck. We also check what the assistants in your audit scope say about your hotel. 2. **Fix** (2 to 4 weeks). We work on the website, booking flow and facts within the agreed setup scope. If a blocker sits inside your booking engine, we explain what to raise with the provider. 3. **Monitor** (Monthly). We repeat the agent booking test monthly. Where your analytics and booking data allow, we review observed referrals and bookings. The [Agent Booking Index](https://akkrev.com/agent-booking-index/) documents a scripted-browser pilot across 28 independent UK hotels. It tested access to priced rooms and stopped before any booking. ## Pricing Agent booking prices are in GBP, with rounded US dollar guides. Checkout shows any applicable tax and the final total before payment. Separately quoted project work follows the tax terms in the quote. AI visibility subscription prices include applicable tax. ### AI Booking Audit: £199 (about $265) one-off See where agents get stuck on your direct booking flow. - Agent tests of the agreed booking steps on your website - Where each agent gets stuck, step by step, with screenshots - Whether agents suggest an OTA as an alternative - What ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity and Claude say about you - Prioritised fix list in 5 working days Credited in full against Agent-Ready Setup.

Checkout depends on the tool, website, available payment methods and guest approvals. Check where the tool stops and whether it offers a link or asks the guest to take over. ### How do I know if an agent can book my hotel? Ask for the free agent check. We test the public booking path and email what we could verify. No integration or access needed. ### How do I get my hotel recommended by ChatGPT? AI recommends hotels whose facts it can read, trust and quote, and that other sources mention. Being recommended is only half of it: the agent then has to be able to book you. Our guide explains how AI chooses and books hotels. ### My AI agent couldn't book on a website. What now? Usually the website blocks agents or hides its booking inside a widget they can't operate. Ask your agent for the direct link to finish yourself, and report the website to us. We review the report and may contact the business about the issue. ### How is this different from your AI visibility plans? The visibility plans sample guest questions and show which venues and links appear. The separate booking service tests the steps an agent encounters on your direct website. Use visibility tracking to understand discovery and a booking audit to diagnose friction after discovery. ### Do you only work with hotels? No. We also work with holiday lets and vacation rentals, cottages, lodges, glamping sites, guesthouses, inns, B&Bs, hostels and serviced apartments: any short-stay business that wants AI agents to book it directly. ### Do I need to change my booking engine? Usually not. We work with your current booking engine and add deep links and structured data around it. If your engine blocks agents, the audit shows it and we explain your options. ### Which AI tools? The weekly visibility subscription samples ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Claude model families. This separate booking audit tests agents completing tasks on your website and can include a broader set of assistants, such as Copilot and Perplexity. We confirm the tools and booking flows in your audit scope. Personal booking agents include Meta's Muse and Instinct. ### How long does it take? The audit takes 5 working days. Agent-Ready Setup takes 2 to 4 weeks. Monitoring runs monthly after that. ### Is this worth it if few guests book through AI yet? Start with your own data. Check whether guests and agents can find the booking link, read rates and understand the policies. Fixing friction can make the direct path easier to use. Compare confirmed direct bookings and channel costs over time to see the business impact.
