In short: when a family asks an AI assistant for “a wedding venue in Kigali for 300 guests” or “a decorator for a Gusaba”, the assistant names the event planners and venues whose pages state the event types, capacity, location, prices or price ranges and how to book. Most event businesses only post photos on Instagram, which assistants read poorly. Publish one page per event type, keep your details identical everywhere, collect reviews, and check the questions families really ask. No one can guarantee a mention.
How do families look for event vendors now?
A wedding or a ceremony means many decisions in a few months: venue, catering, decoration, music, photography, transport. Families ask friends, scroll Instagram and, more and more, ask an assistant for a shortlist. The assistant answers with a few names and links. Vendors with a clear website and consistent listings are easier to put on that list.
Which pages should an event business publish?
- One page per event type. Weddings, introduction and dowry ceremonies, corporate events, birthdays: each with what you offer for it. Use the names families use, such as Gusaba, Kwanjula, Ruracio or Owambe, when you serve those ceremonies.
- The facts that decide a booking. For a venue: capacity seated and standing, indoor or outdoor, parking, catering rules, location. For a vendor: what is included, the areas you travel to, lead time.
- Prices or price ranges. A “from” price or a typical budget per event size. Families ask assistants about budget first.
- A portfolio with words. Photos of real events, each with a short description (the event type, the number of guests, the place) and alternative text.
- How to book. A form, a WhatsApp number, the deposit and how it can be paid.
- A FAQ. The questions you answer every week: availability, deposit, cancellation, outside caterers. Our guide on FAQ content that gets cited shows the format.
Structured data helps machines read these facts. Amaso AI adds LocalBusiness data automatically, and its schema builder includes the Event type for dated events, filled in with forms instead of code.
Which questions should an event business track?

Ask them without your name, note who is named and which websites are cited, and repeat every few weeks. Amaso AI runs these checks on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity with your own API key and keeps the history. The free Amaso AI Lite runs them on demand; scheduled checks come with the paid plans, from $35.99 a year. Our guide How to check whether ChatGPT cites your WordPress site shows how to read the results.
Where else should an event business be listed?
Assistants trust what several independent sources agree on: your Google Business Profile, wedding and event directories, press, and the pages of partners you work with. Keep the same name, address and phone everywhere.
Event platforms count too. Keza AI, the AI event agent for African ceremonies built by FOSIA, the company behind Amaso AI, helps families plan, invite guests and collect contributions by Mobile Money or card, and sends requests to vendors. Vendors list for free, with 0% commission: become a vendor on Keza AI.
What about Instagram?
Keep it: families love photos. But an Instagram post is a weak source for an assistant, and you do not control the platform. Use Instagram to send people to your website, where your event types, capacity, prices and booking details are written down.
Frequently asked questions
Should a venue publish its prices?
A “from” price or a typical budget per number of guests is enough. Without any price, an assistant answering a budget question has nothing to quote.
Do reviews matter for AI answers?
Yes. Honest reviews on the platforms families use confirm that your business is real and active. Ask for them after each event; never buy or write them yourself.
Does Amaso AI check Google’s AI Overviews?
No. Amaso AI checks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. Check Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode by hand.
Can someone do the work for us?
Yes. Our team and our partner agency Vatam can check how assistants see your business and make the fixes, starting with a free consultation. See AI visibility, done for you.
