See where your hotel sits in the lists guests scroll

A guest choosing where to stay in your town scrolls a list: Google Hotels', or a booking site's own. Every week OneHorizyn reads where your hotel sits in each of them, among hotels of your star class and among every hotel in town, how it moved since last week, who is just above you and where your competitors are. Then it shows what would move you up.

How it grows your revenue

Guests book from near the top of the list they scroll. Each place you climb puts your hotel in front of more of them, and on a booking site, the person who looks after your hotel there can say what would move it up.

What you see

  • Google Hotels' lists

    Your place among hotels of your star class in your town, and among every hotel in it. Google shuffles its lists, so each is searched 5 times the same day and your place is the middle of the 5.

  • The booking sites' own lists

    Your place on MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Booking.com and Agoda, for your star class and for the whole town, searched as a guest would without logging in.

  • Who is just above you

    The place directly above yours, and where each of your competitors sits, with a chart of them.

  • Week by week

    How your place moved since last week, said in words, and from the third reading your place week by week. Only a move big enough to mean something is coloured.

  • What moves you up

    Your Google and Tripadvisor review figures against the hotels above you, each with the page that helps, and an email ready for the person who looks after your hotel at each booking site.

Rankings on booking sites

How it works

  1. 1

    Search as a guest would

    Google's lists with no dates chosen, as a guest anywhere in your country would see them; the booking sites' for one night, two weeks or more ahead, for 2 adults.

  2. 2

    Take the middle

    Each Google list is searched 5 times the same day and each booking site's 3 times, and your place is the middle one.

  3. 3

    Set it against last week

    Each place is set against the week before, and a move is coloured only when it is 10 places or more on Google, or 5 on a booking site.

  4. 4

    Say what moves you up

    Your review figures against the hotels above you, and the email to the booking site, written for you to send.

Questions

Questions hotels ask

Why is my place different from what I see when I search?

Google shapes each person's list by where they search from, the dates they ask for and what they searched before, and shuffles it from one search to the next. Each list is searched 5 times the same day and the middle place is given, so a search of your own can put you higher or lower.

Can we pay to move up?

Not in Google's own order: Google says no hotel can pay to change its place in it, though it sells ads beside it. The booking sites do sell higher places, for a fee or a higher commission, and the person who looks after your hotel there can say what would move you up.

Is this our place on Google Maps?

No. This is the lists of places to stay on Google Hotels and the booking sites. Where Google Maps shows you, for searches near you, is on Google & Maps.

Does it work for a hostel?

Yes. A hostel is read in Google Hotels' list of the whole town, and in Hostelworld's and Booking.com's lists of hostels.

What if a booking site turns the search away?

Its last reading stays, the page says why it was not read, and it is tried again the next week. OneHorizyn never gets round a site's checks for robots.
