The Scenario
You run corporate events for a 400-person professional services firm. The annual leadership retreat is your biggest production of the year. The CEO asked for 3 city candidates this time instead of the usual 1, which means tripling the research: top-rated conference venues, nearby restaurants for group dinners, and average hotel ratings — for each city on the shortlist.
You have 15 city candidates in column A. The venue selection committee meets in 8 days. The research that used to take one afternoon for one city now needs to happen for 15.
The bad version:
- Open TripAdvisor. Search "conference venues in [city 1]." Click through the top results. Note names, ratings, and addresses. Repeat for the top 3. Open a new tab for restaurants near the first venue. Copy 5 restaurant names and ratings. Search for hotels. Average the top 10 ratings yourself. Paste all of it into the sheet. Move to city 2.
- After 4 cities you realize you didn't capture the venue address for cities 1 and 2, which the committee will definitely ask for.
- The data is inconsistent — some rows have 3 venues, some have 2, some restaurant sections have 4 options instead of 5 — because TripAdvisor's results vary by how you phrase the search.
The committee is going to ask why you chose the cities you recommended. "I Googled them" is not the slide you want to show.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the city list in column A, queries Composio Search's TripAdvisor tool for each city, and writes venue names, ratings, and addresses into structured columns.
For each city in column A, search TripAdvisor for the top 3 rated conference venues and write venue name, rating, and address into columns B, C, and D, with the city repeated in column A on each result row.
Fifteen cities, 3 venues each, 45 structured rows, in one pass.
What You Get
- Column A: City repeated on each venue row
- Column B: Venue name
- Column C: TripAdvisor star rating
- Column D: Venue address
- Results are the top 3 by TripAdvisor rating, not sponsored placements
- Cities with fewer than 3 matching venues return all available results
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You also want nearby restaurant options for group dinners
Search TripAdvisor for the top 5 restaurants near each event venue in column B and add restaurant names and ratings to new rows labeled with the venue name and city.
You want average hotel ratings by city for the accommodation section
For each city in column A, search TripAdvisor for the top 10 hotels and calculate the average star rating. Write the average into column E labeled 'Avg Hotel Rating'.
Some cities are being compared as pairs and you want a head-to-head
Columns A and B each have a city. You want venue quality compared side by side.
For each row, search TripAdvisor for the top 3 conference venues in the city in column A and the top 3 in the city in column B. Write the average venue rating for each city into columns C and D and label which city scores higher in column E.
Kill chain: venues, restaurants, hotel ratings, and a composite score per city
For each city in column A, search TripAdvisor for the top 3 conference venues and write name, rating, and address into rows below the city. Then search for the top 5 restaurants overall and add name and rating. Then get the average hotel rating for the top 10 hotels and write it in a summary row labeled 'Avg Hotel Rating'. Finally, calculate a composite score averaging venue rating, restaurant rating, and hotel rating and write it in a row labeled 'Composite Score' for each city.
One prompt builds the full venue selection brief for all 15 cities.
