Do Booking.com and Expedia outrank you for your own property's name?
That’s not a brand issue, it’s an SEO bottleneck. Your booking engine and rate pages aren’t optimised, your topical authority is thin, and you’re losing searches to chains with an SEO budget. But with the right strategy in place, you can reclaim organic search and win back 15 to 25% revenue of every booking.

FAQ
How is hotel SEO different from regular SEO?
Hotel SEO has to account for OTA competition, rate parity, seasonality and a booking engine most SEO agencies have never worked inside. It’s not a generic checklist applied to a hospitality site.
How long does it take?
Local SEO and Google Business Profile improvements can move within weeks. Broader organic growth and reduced OTA dependency typically build over 3 to 9 months.
Can you actually beat the OTAs and chains?
On many searches, yes, especially branded search and local “near me” queries. On the broadest “hotels in [city]” terms against a chain’s SEO budget, we’re honest about what’s realistic and focus where you can actually win.
Do you work with our booking engine or PMS?
Yes. We work inside Mews, Cloudbeds, SynXis and WordPress-based hotel sites, integrating with whatever booking engine your property already runs.
Do you handle multiple properties?
Yes. Multi-property SEO for hotel groups is one of our core services, structured so properties don’t compete with each other for the same rankings.
How do you measure results?
Direct bookings first, then rankings and traffic as supporting indicators. Vanity traffic that doesn’t convert isn’t the goal.
