1. 1
   Google 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 your brand's web team to add them. It takes about an hour.

2. 2
   Guests can't easily find how to reach you

   A guest with a question before booking needs your phone, WhatsApp and map on one page.

   What to do: Ask your brand's web team: add a contact page with all three.

• No button to book on your home page, so a guest who wants to book direct has to hunt for one
• 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

1. 1
   Keep 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.

2. 2
   Give AI assistants a reason to recommend you

   Asked about where to stay, family holidays and couples' stays in Charleston, AI recommended Belmond Charleston Place and French Quarter Inn and others, not you.

   How: Add a page to your website for each kind of guest, with your rooms, prices and what's nearby. AI assistants recommend the hotels whose pages answer the guest's question.

3. 3
   Google 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 your brand's web team to add them. It takes about an hour.

With OneHorizyn you see every week whether each one worked, in guests and in rupees.

• Weddings and events

  The planners and families booking weddings in Charleston, who fill your rooms for three nights at a time and never touch a booking site.

• Conferences and company travel

  The companies running meetings and incentive trips near you, and the firms whose staff already stay in Charleston every week.

• Travel agents and tour operators

  The agents and operators selling Charleston to guests abroad, who send the same rooms again and again once you're on their list.

• Events that publish a list of hotels

  Festivals, matches and conferences in and around Charleston that name hotels to stay at. Being on that list costs nothing, and most hotels never ask.

• The nights your town fills up

  Which dates Charleston runs out of rooms months ahead, so you price them before your competitors do, rather than after.

• What your competitors charge, nightly

  Their price for every night ahead, not the one night on this page, so you know which nights you are leaving money on.
