Who it's for

Hotels & hospitality businesses

Independent hotels, boutique groups, resorts and hospitality operators who need to be discoverable by the next generation of travellers using AI to plan trips.

The problem

AI already describes your hotel

ChatGPT, Google and other AI platforms are recommending hotels every day — often based on outdated, incomplete or wrong information. Traditional SEO advice doesn't fix it.

What you'll achieve

A 90-day plan you can execute

A clear benchmark, a completed CARBS assessment, prioritised visibility fixes, and a practical 90-day roadmap you can start straight away.

Curriculum

A four-part online course, in the right order.

Pre-recorded video lessons you take in your own time — your progress saves automatically, so you can pick up exactly where you left off. Every module connects to a workbook exercise or prompt so you're always doing the work, not just watching videos.

About

Built by Formula.

Adam Hamadache FIH is a keynote speaker, advisor and entrepreneur helping leadership teams understand one of the most significant shifts in customer behaviour of the last 25 years: how customers find, evaluate and choose businesses when answers come from AI rather than a list of websites.

Through keynotes and leadership workshops across Europe and North America, and drawing on nearly two decades in hospitality, technology and digital strategy, Adam translates complex change into clear, commercially relevant action — focused on AI visibility, customer discovery, and moving from being ranked by search engines to being recommended by AI.

He is Founder and CEO of Formula, a specialist digital agency helping hospitality businesses adapt to the changing landscape of digital visibility and customer acquisition. This masterclass distils the same approach into something hotels and teams can act on themselves.

FAQs

Questions, answered.

Is this a live course or self-paced?
It's entirely self-paced. All lessons are pre-recorded videos you can watch on demand — there are no live sessions, no fixed start date and no schedule to keep up with. Your progress saves as you go, so you can stop and resume whenever suits you.
Who is this course for?
Hotels and hospitality businesses — owners, marketers and operators — who want to understand how AI describes their property and improve it.
How long does it take?
Not long. There's around two to three hours of video in total, and most people work through the whole programme in a couple of days — but you can spread it over as long as you like.
Do I need technical skills?
Not to produce the strategy. However, there are certain points, certain recommendations that may crop up that may involve a developer, but you'll be provided with step-by-step instructions to be able to delegate that accordingly.
Does the Hotel Team licence cover multiple properties?
One licence covers one hotel or hospitality business. Additional properties need their own licence.
Can I add more seats later?
Yes. Extra learner seats can be added at £25 per seat, up to the licence limit set for your team.
