    Site built, content written, schema and tracking in place, redirects mapped, launched with Core Web Vitals passing on mobile.

  3. 3

    Month 6

    Post-launch iteration on the pages that get traffic — conversion tweaks, added service and location pages, and no ranking drop from the migration.

Our approach

How we build the campaign

1. Discovery

We learn your best jobs, your margins and the towns you actually want to work in — then build the plan around those, not vanity keywords.

2. Audit & baseline

Technical crawl, Google Business Profile review, competitor gap analysis and an AI visibility baseline across four assistants.

3. Foundations

Fix what's broken: site speed, indexing, schema, citations and profile completeness. This is where the early wins come from.

4. Content & authority

Service, town and industry pages written properly, plus local links and reviews that make them rank.

5. Report & refine

One monthly report in plain English: rankings, calls, form fills and what we're doing next. No 40-page PDFs.

Compliance & E-E-A-T

Fire safety, food hygiene and licensing

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations and a current fire risk assessment apply to all guest accommodation, food hygiene ratings must be displayed for breakfast service, and alcohol service needs a premises licence. Publishing your hygiene rating, accessibility information and fire-safety compliance reassures guests and feeds structured data that helps you appear in AI travel recommendations.

Seasonal content calendar

  • JanThe single biggest research window of the year for summer stays — content must be live by mid-December.
  • Apr–SepPeak occupancy; the SEO job shifts to reducing OTA commission on direct bookings.
  • Oct–FebShoulder and winter breaks — dog-friendly, cosy, spa and short-break terms carry real volume now.

FAQs

Web Design & Development for hotels & b&bs: common questions

Is web design & development worth it for hotels & b&bs?

Only if it produces enquiries, which is why we scope it against your job values. Fast, mobile-first sites built on SEO foundations and designed to convert. For hotels & b&bs, that usually means fewer, better pages targeted at the jobs you actually want, rather than broad traffic that never converts.

How do you tailor web design & development to hotels & b&bs?

By using your own service, pricing and compliance detail as the raw material. Feature-specific pages: dog friendly, hot tub, parking, family rooms, accessible That specificity is what separates a page that ranks from one that reads like every competitor's.

Which locations do you cover for hotels & b&bs?

Cumbria in depth plus twenty UK cities including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Bristol. Each location gets its own page, so you appear in the map packs that matter instead of one generic service area.

How long does a site take?

Four to eight weeks for a typical local business site, depending on page count and how quickly content and photos come back to us.

Will I lose my rankings when the new site launches?

Not with a proper redirect map. We match every old URL to a new one before launch and monitor coverage daily for a month afterwards.

Can I edit the site myself?

Yes. You get editable content areas, a training session and written documentation. No calling us to change your opening hours.
