SEO for hotels and holiday accommodation

Give guests a reason to use your own website

Booking platforms may already show basic room details. Your website can explain what staying with you is actually like: layouts, accessibility, parking, arrival arrangements and the area around the property. Do not promise a direct-booking advantage unless you can honour it.

Separate room types or properties when the differences matter to a guest. Repeated descriptions with only a new room number add little value.

Match destination content to the stay

A guide to nearby attractions is useful when it explains practical travel from your accommodation and helps someone plan. Broad destination copy copied from tourism sites rarely answers the guest’s specific questions.

Review seasonal opening details and link to official attraction information where appropriate. Label travel times as approximate and avoid implying an affiliation you do not have.

Audit the handoff to the booking engine

• Check that the correct property and dates carry through.
• Keep cancellation and booking terms easy to find before commitment.
• Test mobile room selection and availability links.
• Distinguish an enquiry from a completed booking when measuring results.

Plan around occupancy, not generic traffic

Sitewell can help prioritise room, property and local information pages based on search performance. Compare with your own booking and occupancy data before deciding that a visibility change improved revenue.
