Holiday Letology

I own two gîtes in Dinant, Belgium (hosting since 2024) and use AI to grow my own direct bookings and be found on Google and by AI assistants, without an agency. DigitalGite shares what works and what doesn't, with no affiliate links or sponsored picks. Made for independent French-speaking hosts with small portfolios of gîtes and holiday homes. Services: free tools (reservations barometer, AI visibility audit, Google Business Profile diagnostic), tutorials, newsletter, one training course. AI is a copilot, never an autopilot.
