For independent hotels, resorts & lodges

You know which pages they visited.You'll never know what they asked.

Presencia AI talks to the visitors who leave without a trace. Every month it hands you what they asked, what stopped them, and what to do about it.

Done for you, start to finish. Not a dashboard. Not another tool to manage.

Real numbers

The blind spot

The ones who contact you are not the ones you are missing.

One month at a client property — an independent resort with twenty-odd cabins. Their figures, not an illustration. The name stays with them.

One dot, one visit. 4,342 of them, in a single month.

  • 4,342visits last month
  • 105used a call, email or contact link — the ones already ready to reach out
  • 18asked something on the spot, before they were ready to contact anyone

Tap to reveal what the assistant picked up

Your contact links keep working exactly as they do now. This is about everyone else — the ones who found you on Booking, came to check whether the real thing looks better here, and had one question standing between them and a decision.

How it works

One conversation is an anecdote. Thirty-five are a decision.

The assistant answers the visitor in the moment. What happens after is the part you're paying for.

AssistantSeveral of them do, and there's a trail loop right behind that row. The pet fee is one-time rather than per night. Want the direct link to those layouts?
The pattern, one month later 11 of 33

Conversations where the whole decision turned on the pet policy — a number that appears nowhere on the site, and never showed up in a single form submission.

What it becomes Publish the fee, not the rate.

Nightly rates belong in the booking engine, where they stay accurate. A pet fee never changes with the calendar. Put the number on the cabin pages and stop losing the visitors who assume the answer is no.

What it looks like on your site

A small tab in the corner. Nothing else changes.

No redesign, no plugin to manage, no login. One line of code and the assistant is there, trained on your property, in your voice.

Hi, welcome to Cedar Hollow Cabins. Booking a cabin, planning something bigger, or still deciding?
Cabin optionsBringing a dog?Weddings & group stays
Do the cabins have hot tubs? And can we bring two dogs
Several of our cabins have private hot tubs, and a number of them are dog-friendly — two is no problem. The pet fee is one-time, not per night. Want me to pull up the layouts that have both?
yes please
Type your question…
  • It does not make things up. If the answer is not in your content, it says so and points the guest to your team. No invented rates, no invented policies.
  • It hands over the hard ones. Anything complex — a contract, a special rate, a group negotiation — goes to the front desk or the events team, by design.
  • It sounds like your property. Trained on your tone and your content, written alongside a linguist. Guests read it as your team, not as software.
  • It captures what matters. When an event or group enquiry has a date, a size and a way to reach them, your team gets an email while the guest is still on the page.
The robotic way
Yes, pets are allowed with a fee.
Trained in your brand voice
We don't just welcome your dog — there's a morning trail right by the cabins so you can walk together at sunrise. Want the direct link to our pet-friendly layouts?

Its job is the last minute before a decision. Someone opens four tabs, finds you on an OTA, lands on your site to see whether the real thing looks better, and hits one thing they cannot confirm. A form takes a day. A phone call is too much. That is the moment — and either it gets answered right there or they go back to the tab that was already open.

The deliverable

Every month, one document you can forward to your team.

What visitors asked, what held them back, and the actions that follow — written to be handed to whoever already does the work.

What we found this cycle

11/33
Pets are a gate, not a detail. Eleven conversations turned on whether a cabin allows them before anything else was discussed.
3
Large-group enquiries left with no way to reach them. The assistant answered and offered the coordinator; nobody left a name.
×2
A pattern with no page on the site: getting married elsewhere, lodging the party here. Fixed dates, a group, no price sensitivity.
7
Asked about something the site already explains — hot tub, wifi, whether the kitchen comes stocked. The answer exists; it sits on a page they never reached.

What follows from it

Two this cycle. Some months there are four, some months one. The list is as long as the evidence, never longer.

Website

Publish the fixed fees, keep the rates in the engine

Pet fee, cleaning fee, minimum stays, who qualifies for the local rate. None of them change with the calendar, and all of them are being asked before anyone reaches the booking engine.

Hand to: whoever edits your site
Marketing

A page for the group that books rooms, not a wedding

Two enquiries this cycle were marrying elsewhere and needed lodging for the party. Nothing on the site speaks to them. One page and a short reel of the cabins at capacity covers it.

Hand to: your marketing team

Sample report, built from the kind of findings a real cycle turns up. Actual client reports stay between us and the property.

The full sample report — every finding, the action plan, and how the next cycle measures it. One page of your email, nothing else.

The part nobody else can do

Next month, the same conversations tell us whether it worked.

An agency can tell you traffic went up. Analytics can tell you the page was viewed. Neither can tell you the question stopped being asked — and that the people asking it moved on to dates and availability instead.

That is a visitor moving one step closer to booking, measured in what they actually said.

Is it for me?

Built for properties with something worth explaining.

A fit

  • Independent resorts, boutique hotels, lodges and glamping
  • A distinct identity that a generic bot would flatten
  • An owner or GM who wants to know what to fix next month
  • Someone already in place to act on it, in-house or an agency

Not a fit

  • Chains and franchises running a standard script
  • Anyone looking to cut front-desk hours
  • Properties with too little traffic to produce a report worth reading
  • Anyone who wants a dashboard to log into

Before you ask

The questions we get first.

What if a month only turns up one thing worth doing?

Then the report says one thing. We don't work to a quota — an invented third action is worse than none, because it teaches you to skim the list. Some cycles turn up four. In a quiet month the honest finding is often that nothing changed, and that is worth knowing too.

I already have Google Analytics. Isn't this the same thing?

Analytics tells you which pages were opened, for how long, and where the traffic came from. It has never told anyone what a visitor wanted. The same is true of session recordings and post-stay surveys: one shows behaviour without reasons, the other arrives after the stay and gets answered by a handful of people out of goodwill. The assistant gets answered because the visitor wants something right then, and the question is preserved in their own words. One more difference worth naming: a traffic report has never produced a wedding enquiry with a date, a guest count and a phone number.

Who actually ends up talking to it?

Not the guest who already decided — that one books, calls, or fills in the form, and always would have. The assistant is for the one still deciding: comparing you against two other places, arriving from an OTA listing to see whether booking direct is better, or reading a cabin page at eleven at night with one question left. They will not send a form for a single question. They will ask it out loud if someone is there.

How is this different from the chatbots that already exist?

Most chatbots answer and forget. Presencia answers, guides the visitor toward a booking or your team, and keeps the record. The record is the product: at the end of the month it becomes a document telling you what your market was actually asking for.

Who carries out the actions?

Whoever already does that work for you. Each one is written to be handed over — to your web person, your marketing team, your ads agency — with enough detail that nobody has to come back and ask what was meant. You get a plan, not another job.

How do you know whether an action worked?

The same conversations that found the problem measure the fix. If the question stops coming up next cycle, the site is now answering it. If it keeps coming up, either nobody can find the answer or the answer is not enough — and both of those are useful. The report opens with that, before any new findings.

What does "trained in my brand voice" actually mean?

Before launch we run a brand voice session — your tone, your vocabulary, how your staff talks about the property. Then the assistant is trained on your real content: room types, policies, event spaces, seasonal highlights, and what makes you different from the property down the road. Every assistant is written alongside a linguistics partner, so it reads like your team, not like software.

How does it handle wedding and group enquiries?

It qualifies in conversation — event type, rough date, guest count — before asking for a way to reach them. When all four are there, your events team gets a hot-lead alert by email straight away. No more wedding enquiries sitting in a general inbox until Monday.

How long does setup take, and will it work with my site?

About a week from signed agreement to live assistant. Installation is a single line of HTML, which works on Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, Duda, Webflow and most other builders. No developer needed on your end.

What does the retainer include, and what does it cost?

Setup and brand voice training, the assistant live around the clock, hot-lead alerts by email, the monthly report and the actions that come with it, and direct access to us. No per-conversation or per-lead fees. Quarterly retainer, priced so that a single event secured through the assistant covers it several times over. Exact figure on the first call.
