ChatGPT named three hotels near Cebu IT Park and left out every other hotel in the area
On 10 October 2026 we asked ChatGPT for three business hotels near Cebu IT Park with good meeting rooms. ChatGPT named Seda Central Bloc, Waterfront Cebu City and Quest Hotel, with a photo and a reason for each hotel. A hotel that ChatGPT does not name is not on that buyer's shortlist.
Buyers ask ChatGPT the same kind of question about clinics, property developers, BPO providers and suppliers. In the session we run these questions live for volunteer companies and look at which sources ChatGPT quotes.
ChatGPT ads are open in the Philippines, with targeting down to Cebu City
Businesses based in the Philippines can now create ChatGPT ads themselves. Ads Manager can target the Cebu region or the 6000 Cebu City postal code, and the ads appear below ChatGPT's answer. The free session shows a short preview with a sample Cebu hotel. The full step-by-step setup is part of the paid two-hour workshop.
