The Core Experience Marketing Problem

OTA Dominance
OTAs dominate “things to do” searches
Marketplace Visibility
Viator and GetYourGuide control marketplace visibility
AI Assistance
AI assistants summarize activities instantly
Higher Paid Cost
Paid ads inflate acquisition costs
If your website does not rank — or does not appear in AI-generated recommendations — the booking defaults to a marketplace.

Below is how TypeHero adapts to each experience vertical.
Local Tour Operators

Local tour operators compete with:
- Viator
- GetYourGuide
- OTAs

Attraction Marketing That Captures Destination Traffic
Attractions rely heavily on:

TypeHero enables attractions to:

The Economics of Experience SEO
For experience-based businesses:
If improved SEO shifts even 3–7% of marketplace bookings to direct:
- Commission savings increase monthly
- Cost per acquisition declines
- First-party customer data grows
- Repeat bookings improve
- Profit margins strengthen
Unlike paid ads:
- Organic authority compounds
- Activity clusters rank long-term
- Content becomes a durable asset
Experience SEO is not blogging.
It is marketplace independence.
KPIs Experience Businesses Should Track
Activity-driven businesses implementing SEO + GEO should monitor:
- Organic search traffic growth
- Ranking for “things to do” keywords
- AI search inclusion
- Direct booking percentage
- Marketplace share reduction
- Cost per acquisition by channel
