PILOT ROLLOUT

Be found before guests know your name.

Most guests search for a kind of stay, not a hotel name: “El Nido hotel near the beach with a pool”. Each month our team checks how you show up on Google, Maps and AI answers for those searches, then fixes your pages and listings.

  • Google search, Maps and AI answers, checked every month
  • Your pages and listings fixed by our team
  • A plain monthly review: what changed, what is next

    Found you on Google Maps. Your listing says pickup from the airport. Is it free?

    The van meets flights by request for a fee. Send your flight details and the front desk will confirm the time and price.

WHERE GUESTS LOOK

Guests decide before they reach your website.

A guest compares hotels on Google, on Maps, in reviews and in AI answers. If your hotel is missing, out of date or vague in any of them, they choose someone else.

  1. You only show up for your name

    People who already know you find you. People searching “El Nido hotel with a pool near the beach” do not.

  2. Your listings disagree

    Google says free airport pickup. Your website says it is paid. Two booking sites list a check-in time from years ago.

  3. Your best rooms have no page

    The sea-view rooms are what guests want, but they sit in one paragraph on the homepage, with no photos and no booking link.

  4. Nobody measures it

    You hear “do SEO” but never see what changed, which searches improved or what to do next.

Our team picks the searches that fit your hotel, fixes the pages and listings behind them, and checks them again every month.

WHAT GUESTS ASK AFTER THEY FIND YOU

The questions your listings should already answer.

When your listings are wrong, guests ask, or worse, arrive surprised. ely answers on your website from the same facts our team puts on your pages and listings.

  • From Google Maps · 6:25 pm

    “Is the airport pickup free?”

    It is a paid transfer by request. Send your flight details and the front desk will confirm the time and price.

    “Can we bring our small dog?”

  • From a search result · 8:05 pm

    “How do we get to you from the port?”

    About ten minutes by tricycle from the port. The front desk can arrange one if you send your arrival time.

WHAT VISIBILITY LOOKS LIKE

Search, Maps, AI answers and reviews. One plan.

Each month our team checks the searches that matter, fixes what is missing or wrong, and shows you what changed.

02 / Listings & reviews

Every listing says the same, true thing.

Old listings send guests wrong facts: a free transfer that is now paid, a check-in time that changed. Our team checks your agreed profiles and listings against your approved facts, corrects what we can access, and requests fixes for the rest. New reviews get a calm reply drafted by ely for you to approve.

WHAT OUR TEAM DOES

  • Profiles and listings checked against your approved facts
  • Corrections made or requested
  • Review replies drafted; you approve each one

Fewer surprised guests at check-in.

Visibility and Brand are in the pilot rollout. A person approves every reply.

Your Hotel El Nido

2 out of 5 stars, 1 day ago

Nice room, great pool. But Google said the airport pickup was free and we were charged at the end. Felt misleading.

Reply drafted by ely

Waiting for your approval

Jonas, you’re right to be annoyed. The transfer has been a paid service for some time, and our Google listing still said otherwise. We have corrected it. Please email stay@yourhotelelnido.ph so we can make this right.

Illustrative review. ely drafts the reply; a person approves it before it is posted.

03 / AI answers

When guests ask AI, give it the right facts.

More guests ask an AI assistant to plan their stay. Each month we ask the same questions they ask and note whether your hotel appears and what it says about you. Then we fix the pages and facts behind the answer.

WHAT OUR TEAM DOES

  • Agreed questions asked across the main AI assistants
  • Answers and their sources recorded by date
  • Wrong or missing facts fixed at the source

Your hotel, described correctly, wherever guests ask.

Visibility, including AI answers, is in the pilot rollout.

A guest asks: Pet-friendly hotel in El Nido with a pool, not too expensive?

The assistant answers: Your Hotel El Nido is a good option if you are travelling with a small dog:

  • Two garden rooms for small dogs, with prior approval
  • A pool open until 9 pm
  • A five-minute walk to the beach

Check the pet policy and book on the hotel’s own website.

Illustrative AI answer, not a real service. No AI service guarantees a mention.

04 / Your monthly review

Know what changed. Know what is next.

Every month you get the work done, what changed and the next priorities, in plain words. Ask ely any time. Search appearances, website visits and booking enquiries are kept separate, so one never passes for another.

WHAT OUR TEAM DOES

  • A record of the pages and listings fixed
  • Search, Maps and AI observations side by side
  • The next priorities, ranked, with what we need from you

Visibility you can see, not a promise.

BEFORE YOU START

What hotel owners ask about visibility.

Is this SEO, local search or AI visibility?

All three, in one plan. Useful pages and accurate listings are the foundation of each. We agree which searches, profiles and AI assistants to check for your hotel.

Do you make the changes, or just send a report?

We make them. You approve the facts; our team updates your pages and the profiles we can access. Where a third party must change something, we request it and track it.

Is advertising included?

Visibility is the unpaid side: your pages, listings and presence. Your own ad on your name is part of Brand, on a budget you agree.

How long until we see a difference?

A corrected page helps guests at once. Google and AI services take time to revisit it. We review progress monthly and never promise a ranking or a booking result.

How is this different from GEO?

GEO is the AI-answers part of Visibility. This page covers the whole plan: Google search, Maps, listings, reviews and AI answers together.

How much does it cost?

It depends on your hotel and how much needs fixing first. Join the waitlist and we will give you a price on the call.
