Overview
Small team. Big-name track record.
100+ projects delivered. Our team's work includes brands like Nike, Visa and Disney.
Three years grown on referrals alone, not ad spend.
Brand, website, SEO and ads under one roof. One brief, one team.
SEO for hotels covers more than your website. We get your Business Profile and rates in order on Google, build pages for each room type, occasion and nearby draw, and make sure every route ends at a booking engine that is quick to use.
A guest who finds you on Google should be able to book with you.®
Direct bookings, not just visibility — Guests compare your hotel with booking sites and nearby hotels in the same search. Ranking for the place, the occasion and the type of stay, then making booking easy, gives them a reason to book with you.
Your Google listing does half the work — Google confirms hotel details through your Business Profile. With a Hotel Center account and your rates shared through your booking provider, it can show a free link to book on your own site.
Listing, pages and a booking path that works.®
Local SEO & Business Profile — Profile details, photos, reviews and replies, so you show up well on Maps and in hotel searches for your area.
Hotel website design — A fast, photo-led site with rooms, offers and the booking engine built into the journey.
Hotel marketing — SEO alongside email, social and paid campaigns, so every channel sends guests to the same pages.
SEO for hotels, from Google listing to booking
Who hotel SEO is for
SEO for hotels suits independent, boutique and small group hotels that want more of their bookings to come direct. It works best when there is something specific to rank for: a location, a building with character, a wedding venue, a spa or a restaurant guests travel for.
It is aimed at hotels where an owner or general manager wants a clear plan and a partner to deliver it, rather than a central team running search across a large chain.
Your Google listing comes first
For many guests the first thing they see is your listing on Google Search or Maps, not your website. Google confirms hotel information and ownership through your Business Profile, which also lets you manage photos and reply to reviews. Keeping its photos, amenities and descriptions current is an ongoing part of the work.
With a complete profile your hotel appears on Maps and Search, but without prices. To show nightly rates and a link to book on your own site, Google needs a Hotel Center account and your rates and availability, shared through a connectivity partner such as your booking engine, channel manager or property management system.
Reviews sit on the same listing. Replying to them, good and bad, shows future guests how you treat people, and Google’s contribution policy bans offering incentives, such as payments or discounts, in exchange for reviews.
Free booking links, explained
Free booking links show your hotel name and room rate in Google’s hotel results and send guests straight to the landing page you choose. Google says there is no cost for clicks on them, and they are ranked on signals such as traveller preference and landing page experience, with bids having no impact.
We check whether your rates already reach Google, work with your booking provider to close any gaps, and check that the page guests land on loads quickly and makes booking simple.
Pages for rooms, occasions and the area
Guests search by occasion as much as by place: a wedding venue, a spa break, a dog-friendly weekend, a meeting room near the station. Each real reason to stay gets its own page with honest photography, practical details and a route to book or enquire.
Local guides to the walks, venues and events nearby give guests a reason to choose your area, then your hotel. We write them from your team’s knowledge, so they say something a booking site can’t.
Each room type also deserves its own section or page with size, beds, views and accessibility details, because guests compare hotels on exactly those details.
The technical layer of SEO for hotels
Hotel sites carry heavy photography and booking widgets, which can slow pages down. We compress images, check how the booking engine loads and tidy the page structure. Booking engines often sit on a separate domain, so we also check that analytics follows the guest through to the confirmation page.
We then add structured data using the most specific business type, as Google recommends, so your hotel is described as a hotel, with details such as address and opening hours where they apply.
How we measure results, and what to have ready
Our reports cover organic visits and rankings for your key stay searches, actions on your Business Profile, free booking link performance where your setup reports it, and enquiries for weddings and events. We compare direct bookings from search with your booking engine’s own figures and explain any gaps between them.
To start, have access to your Business Profile, website and analytics, the name of your booking engine or channel manager, and a list of the occasions and room types you most want to fill.

Frequently asked questions
What does SEO for hotels include?
Business Profile and Google listing work, keyword research by room type, occasion and location, page structure, on-page and technical fixes, schema and local guides. We agree the scope around your hotel and the guests you want.
Will hotel SEO help us rely less on booking sites?
That is the aim. We cannot promise a particular shift in bookings, but strong rankings, free booking links and an easy booking engine give direct bookings their best chance.
What are Google’s free booking links?
Unpaid links in Google’s hotel results that show your hotel name and room rate and take guests to your booking page. Google says there is no cost for clicks on them, and bids have no impact on how they rank.
How do we get our rates showing on Google?
Your Business Profile needs to be in place first. Google then needs a Hotel Center account and your rates and availability through a connectivity partner, such as your booking engine, channel manager or property management system.
How much does SEO for a hotel cost?
It depends on the size of the site, how many room types, venues and offers you have, and the competition in your area. We quote a fixed monthly fee or a fixed project fee after a short call.
How long does SEO take for a hotel?
Listing and profile fixes can help quickly, while rankings for competitive stay searches usually take months. No one can honestly promise a ranking or a timeline.
Do you work with independent and boutique hotels?
Yes, and they are a good fit. A distinctive hotel gives search plenty to work with: individual rooms, the building’s story, events and the area around it.
Do we need to rebuild our website first?
Not always. We review what you have first, including how the booking engine works. If the site is holding your SEO back, we say so and explain why.
