The Tourist Marketing Gap Nobody's Talking About
Quick question: How many tourists signed up for your loyalty program last month?
Zero. Because they don't.
Tourists don't do local marketing. They ask their phone where to eat.
Here's the problem:
TOURISTS DON'T SIGN UP FOR THINGS
- ✗ No email lists
- ✗ No SMS programs
- ✗ No app downloads
They Google. They ask ChatGPT. They check reviews. That's it.
YOUR COMPETITION HAS THE RIGHT SETUP
- ✓ Menus AI can actually read (not PDFs)
- ✓ Menu ingredients coded so AI knows what they serve
- ✓ Google Business profiles answering tourist questions
- ✓ Pages matching exactly what tourists search for
YOU'RE FIGHTING BLIND
- ✗ PDF menus that AI can't understand
- ✗ Your menu ingredients aren't coded for AI to read
- ✗ Your Google profile answers zero tourist questions
- ✗ Invisible exactly when tourists are deciding where to eat
Here's what the data shows:
- 51% of people now use voice search to find restaurants
- 88% check Google reviews before choosing where to eat
- And with ski season starting in 3 weeks, the restaurants AI recommends NOW capture the next 6 months of tourist traffic

Why the Next 60 Days Will Separate Winners from Everyone Else
AI search isn't staying free. And when it starts charging restaurants for placement, the ones with organic authority win.
Think about every platform you use:
2007 → YouTube
Free for 2 years. Then: ads everywhere.
2013 → Instagram
"We'll start slow with beautiful ads." Now: pay to play.
2024 → OpenAI
Lost $5 billion in 2024. CEO Sam Altman confirmed they're losing money on every subscription.
2025 → Google AI Mode
Officially launched ads in May 2025—already pitching to advertisers.
2026 → The Split
Restaurants with built-in AI authority vs. everyone else paying $500-2,000/month for sponsored placement.
The research backs this up:
Getting Your Menu Set Up Right = Foundation for Everything
"Microsoft confirmed: When you code your menu ingredients correctly, their AI systems can actually understand and recommend you."

Fresh Content = 25% Better Chance
"AI platforms cite content that's updated recently 25.7% more than old, stale websites."

Google Dominates Restaurant Discovery
"62% of consumers find new dining establishments through Google, making it the dominant platform for restaurant discovery. Google AI Overviews are now appearing for 5% of restaurant queries and growing rapidly."

The restaurants building this infrastructure NOW have organic leverage when "pay to play" launches. Everyone else will pay premium prices month after month just to show up.
The Triple-Threat Approach
We Don't Just Optimize. We Dominate Three Layers at Once.
Most agencies pick one lane. Maybe two if you're lucky. We engineer all three simultaneously.
Here's the difference:

Elev8ed Reach: The AI Discovery & Reputation Engine
Everything below? You own it. Permanently. Even if you stop working with us tomorrow.
These Three Pillars Work Together
The research finds where to show up. The AI blueprint makes sure you show up correctly. The reputation system proves you're worth recommending.
But Here's What Really Sets Us Apart
Generic AI tracking tools tell you if you got mentioned.
We tell you why your competitor got recommended instead—and how to fix it.
Those platforms run the same canned queries for every restaurant.
We customize queries based on what we discover in real-time. When we see AI consistently recommending your competitor for "family dining after skiing," we pivot immediately—testing new angles, finding their weakness, and building content that wins that search back.
Off-the-shelf tools give you reports.
We give you strategy that adapts daily based on what's actually working in the AI platforms tourists use.
Generic tools track mentions.
We control the game—testing, pivoting, and dominating the exact searches that fill your tables.

Example Scenario
Example only. Individual results vary. No guarantee of specific outcomes.
If this system helps you capture just 2-3 extra tables per week from tourists...
- At a $75/table average, that's potentially $150-225/week
- Over a year, that could represent $7,800-11,700 in additional revenue
- For a $5,982 founding member investment that builds permanent digital assets
Compare to your alternatives:
Traditional SEO agencies: $18,000-36,000/year (and you own nothing)
Wait until after November 24: $13,961/year (2.3x more expensive)
Doing nothing: Watch competitors claim your category while you hope tourists find you
Category Availability Board
We only accept ONE restaurant per category in Whitefish. This protects your investment and ensures you're not competing against our other clients.

Is This Right For Your Restaurant?
✓ This Is Built For You If:
1. Winter tourism drives your revenue — Ski season and holiday visitors represent a significant portion of your annual income
2. You want to be the answer when tourists ask AI where to eat — You're tired of watching visitors choose restaurants that AI platforms recommended over yours
3. You want to own what you pay for — Everything we build (pages, schema, technical foundation) lives permanently on your site, not locked in an agency platform
4. You have a website — Even if it's basic or outdated, we can work with your existing site to implement the foundation
5. You understand this builds authority over time — This is technical infrastructure that compounds in value, not a quick-fix marketing tactic
✗ This ISN'T The Right Fit If:
1. You're part of a national chain — Corporate restrictions won't allow the technical changes we need to implement
2. You expect overnight results — AI platforms need weeks to index and recognize new content, not days
3. You want social media or Google Ads management — We build AI visibility infrastructure, not run paid advertising or social campaigns
4. You need a complete website rebuild — We enhance and optimize your existing digital presence, we don't start from scratch
5. You can't commit to 6 months — The foundation takes 30 days to build; the following months involve continuous testing, tracking, and competitive intelligence gathering
"This is infrastructure for restaurants serious about capturing tourist traffic. If that's you, and your category is still available, let's talk."
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this different from a regular marketing agency?
Regular agencies optimize for Google rankings. We build technical infrastructure for both traditional search AND AI platforms like ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, and other AI assistants. Plus, we only work with tourist-destination restaurants, not random businesses. We know your customer.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to work with you?
Not even a little. We handle everything—you just approve. The system is designed for restaurant owners who want results without learning code or spending hours on tech stuff.
What if my category is already taken?
Unfortunately, once a category is claimed in Whitefish, we close enrollment to protect our clients. Check the board to see current availability. If your category is gone, we can add you to a waitlist in case that client leaves.
How long does setup take?
Most of the technical work is completed within the first 30 days. You'll start seeing us work immediately—content going live, Google profile updates, review system implementation.
What happens if I stop paying monthly?
You keep everything we built:
- All 10 answer pages on your site
- All schema markup
- AI-readable menu structure
- Optimized Google Business Profile
- Review system setup
The ongoing monthly fee covers continued optimization, content updates, monitoring, and competitive intelligence. Stop paying, and the optimization stops—but the foundation stays yours.
Can you guarantee I'll show up in AI platforms?
No. We cannot guarantee AI platform placement, rankings, or specific business outcomes. We build technical infrastructure designed to maximize your eligibility for AI citation, but we don't control third-party AI algorithms.
What we DO guarantee:
- Technical delivery of all promised infrastructure
- Google-validated schema implementation (zero critical errors)
- Content that passes all industry-standard validation tests
Why the November 24th deadline?
Peak season (ski + holidays) represents 60%+ of annual revenue for most tourist-dependent restaurants. We're limiting enrollment to ensure quality implementation before the rush. Plus, category exclusivity means spots genuinely are limited—once they're gone, they're gone.
Reserve Your Founding Member Spot
Ski season starts in 3 weeks. The restaurants that tourists discover NOW capture the next 6 months of revenue. Don't let your competition own your category.
⏰ Deadline: November 24, 2025
After this date, pricing returns to $1,997 setup + $997/month
