The hotel website you didn’t know you had

Today, we are talking about… Your Google My Business hotel profile.

The little box that turned into a website.

It started off pretty harmless. You remember that little Google My Business page that linked your hotel to Google Maps.

It is unrecognizable today.

What was once just a simple directory listing with a link to your website is now Google’s central hub for your hotel, bringing together reviews, prices, and even things to do nearby.

At six pages, it’s hard not to call it a website.

Here it is below. We will take a look.

The overview page

The gallery page

The location page

The rates page

So, what is it for ?

These six pages tie directly to Google’s biggest machine, Google Hotel Finder, which hasn’t been so covertly encroaching on OTA space for some time now. Your hotel listing on Google My Business is now, for all intents and purposes, an OTA listing, the same as the one you have on Expedia or Tripadvisor.

Keeping it up to date is the key.

Beyond the fact that this six-page list aggregates data about your property, it also plays an important role in how people find you in Google Hotel Finder. If you weren’t aware of all of the categories and attributes hidden in your Google My Business listing, it’s time to take another look as they have become extremely important to users looking to refine their search.
