Your website's health is 65 out of 100
We read 6 pages of emakhosinigroup.com on 18 October 2026, the way Google and AI assistants do, and found 17 things to fix. This costs you the most guests:
- 1Your 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 eZee
- No WhatsApp link, where most guests in India ask first
- No 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.
- 1Keep your website the cheapest place to book
None of the main booking sites asks less than your website today. One rate change on any of them undoes it.
How: Check your price on each of them every week, and on your busy dates every day.
- 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.
How: Ask whoever looks after your website to compress your photos and files.
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
Everything above came from what anyone can see: Google, Google Hotels, Google Maps, an AI assistant and your own website. Your hotel's own reading fills in the rest and turns each finding into a figure you can act on.
