Your website's health is 61 out of 100
We read 6 pages of rutherfordhotel.nz on 18 October 2026, the way Google and AI assistants do, and found 19 things to fix. These cost you the most guests:
- 1Google and AI assistants can't tell your website is a hotel's
Without your hotel's details in Google's own format, they can't show your rating, price and address beside your name.
What to do: Ask whoever built your website to add them. It takes about an hour.
- 2Your website is heavy on a phone
Most guests look on their phone, often on mobile data, and leave a page that's slow to open.
What to do: Ask whoever looks after your website to compress your photos and files.
- A button to book on your home page, through SwiftBook
- No WhatsApp link, where most guests in India ask first
- A phone number a guest can tap to call
- AI assistants can read your website
Two things to do this week
Each one comes from what we found above, and each wins back guests who book you direct.
- 1Show your own price on Google
Google lists the booking sites' prices for your room but not your website's, so a guest who finds you there can only book through them.
How: Ask your booking engine to connect you to Google's free booking links. Most do it at no cost, and your price then shows beside theirs.
- 2Google and AI assistants can't tell your website is a hotel's
Without your hotel's details in Google's own format, they can't show your rating, price and address beside your name.
How: Ask whoever built your website to add them. It takes about an hour.
With OneHorizyn you see every week whether each one worked, in guests and in rupees.
We've already done 3 of the 6 readings your first look is built from
