Your website's health is 47 out of 100
We read 6 pages of dakotahotels.co.uk on 18 October 2026, the way Google and AI assistants do, and found 15 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.
- 2Some links on your website lead nowhere
A guest who clicks one gets an error page instead of your rooms.
What to do: Ask whoever looks after your website to fix or remove them.
- 3Google may count your pages twice
It splits your visits between copies of the same page.
What to do: Ask whoever looks after your website to mark one address for each page.
- A button to book on your home page
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
