Hospitality SEO isn't like other SEO

Your customers search differently. Your SEO should too.

Google Maps is the battlefield. A cafe in position 1 on Google Maps gets dramatically more foot traffic than one in position 4. For hospitality, Maps ranking matters more than website ranking.

"Near me" drives everything. Hospitality searches are mostly mobile, local, and last-minute. A slow or unoptimised mobile site loses customers fast.

Reviews are a ranking signal. Google uses review recency and volume. Most NZ businesses don't manage this well, which means opportunity.

AI search is changing the game. AI answers like Google AI Overview and ChatGPT often appear before links. AEO for hospitality is the new edge.

We know how hospitality customers search, because that's all we focus on.

SEO built for your type of hospitality business

Restaurant and Cafe SEO. We build local SEO using menu keywords and suburb pages. Restaurant SEO in NZ is open ground. Most competitors aren't active yet.

Hotel and Accommodation SEO. Customers compare before booking, so organic site SEO matters more than for walk-ins. We build landing pages targeting \"accommodation [city]\" and \"hotel [region]\" searches.

Tourism Operator SEO. Seasonal operators need seasonal SEO. We plan around search trends like \"things to do in Queenstown\" so you're visible when it counts.

We don't just know SEO. We know hospitality.

You didn't get into hospitality to spend all your time on marketing. We get it. Our SEO fits how hospitality really works in NZ.

Staff shortages are real. You need set-and-measure SEO, not hand-holding. We make sure it's time-efficient.

Margins are thin. SEO brings people already keen to buy. More intent, better spend.

Seasonality changes everything. We plan for February vs July. No generic templates, only what fits your season.

Manaakitanga is about genuine hospitality. AI and SEO handle the admin so your team can focus on guests.

Beyond Google: hospitality SEO for AI search

If your site isn't optimised for AI answers you're missing customers. We build AEO structures that help AI assistants recommend your business. We also create AI automations for review responses, bookings, and scheduling.
