The pages AI reads before it names a hotel property management vendor
The 20 pages cited most across 149 AI answers recorded on 22 September 2026, and the Index vendors each one lists.
From 149 answers recorded on 2026-09-22 (10 buyer questions, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, three runs each; one answer did not return and is left out of the base), 331 distinct pages were cited. These are the 20 cited most often.
The plain lesson: of these 20 pages, seven are editorial roundups, seven are vendors' own pages and six are directories or review sites. The page cited most, hoteltechreport.com, appears in 50 of the 149 answers. Roundups and directories are pages a vendor can ask to be listed on; a vendor's own pages are the ones it controls. Of the 7 third-party pages that could be read, Cloudbeds is listed on 7, Little Hotelier on 4, Mews on 4.

How to read this: a count is the number of answers that cited the page. The vendors column comes from fetching each page on 2026-09-28 (robots.txt respected) and matching the 25 Index vendors in this category by name; a vendor listed on a page is not a vendor the engines named. A page cited today may not be cited next month.
Observed answers on stated dates, not a ranking. Absence Index release 2026-09, method v1.1, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22907695.
