SEO for hotels and accommodation businesses

SEO makes the pages your customers need easy for search engines to find and understand, and easy for people to act on once they arrive. For hotels and accommodation businesses, that means getting room types with clear photos, availability and rates and location and nearby attractions right, because travellers comparing places to stay want to check availability and book without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Travellers comparing places to stay want to check availability and book.

A hotel or accommodation business website usually has to handle direct bookings with live availability, restaurant or bar menus, gift vouchers for stays and dining and staff recruitment pages.

Direct bookings with live availability: guests who book on your site deal with you from the first step.

Restaurant or bar menus: guests and locals look for on-site dining before they arrive.

Gift vouchers for stays and dining: vouchers sell well as gifts and bring forward revenue.

Staff recruitment pages: hospitality hiring is constant, and a careers page saves posting the same details repeatedly.
