Your website's health is 50 out of 100
We read 6 pages of sonesta.com on 18 October 2026, the way Google and AI assistants do, and found 22 things to fix. These cost you the most guests; your hotel's page is on your brand's website, so its web team makes the changes:
- 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 your brand's web team to add them. It takes about an hour.
- 2Guests 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.
- 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
Three 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.
- 2Give AI assistants a reason to recommend you
Asked about where to stay, family holidays and couples' stays in Houston, AI recommended The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston and Four Seasons Hotel Houston 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.
- 3Google 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.
We've already done 4 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.

- Google and Google Mapsrated 4.2 from 3,155 reviews
- Your website6 pages read, health 50 out of 100

- Weddings and events
The planners and families booking weddings in Houston, 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 Houston every week.
- Travel agents and tour operators
The agents and operators selling Houston 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 Houston that name hotels to stay at. Being on that list costs nothing, and most hotels never ask.
- The nights your town fills up

- 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.
Stop losing $191 to $358 a month for each room
OneHorizyn finds where your hotel loses money and tells you what to fix first, every week:
- Booking sitesWhen they sell your room for less than your own website, so more guests book you direct
- Your competitorsTheir prices in Houston for the nights ahead, so you price every night right
- Google and AIWhat they tell guests about you, and how to get recommended first
