What we see in hospitality websites
These are the patterns our Diagnostic Framework consistently surfaces in hospitality sites — and the signals your visitors and regulators expect.
Common gaps for Hospitality
- Direct booking engine UX is worse than Booking.com or Expedia, so guests book through OTAs and the property pays 15-25% commission
- Property photography is low-resolution, poorly lit, or outdated — the primary conversion factor for hospitality is visual and the site fails this test
- No LodgingBusiness or Hotel schema structured data, so the property does not appear in Google Hotel search results or knowledge panels
- Mobile booking flow is broken or requires pinch-to-zoom on form fields, losing the 60%+ of travelers who research and book on phones
- No upsell or package builder — guests book a room but have no way to add dining, spa, or experience packages during the booking flow
What good looks like
A hospitality website that wins direct bookings offers a booking engine experience that matches or beats OTA usability, showcases rooms and property with immersive photography and virtual tours, and offers package building with add-ons during the booking flow. Mobile booking is seamless with saved payment methods, and Hotel schema markup drives visibility in Google Hotel search results.
Compliance & trust signals for Hospitality
- PCI DSS compliance for direct booking payment processing and guest credit card storage
- ADA and accessibility compliance for booking engine and room selection interfaces
- State and local lodging tax disclosure and transparency before booking confirmation
- LodgingBusiness schema structured data for Google Hotel search integration
- Privacy policy meeting international guest data requirements including GDPR for European travelers
