Hotel SEO is how an independent hotel gets the booking on its own website instead of paying a commission on it. Guests type "hotel with parking near the old town", "family room for five in Lisbon" or ask ChatGPT where to stay for a weekend away, and the answers usually lead to booking sites. Sorank writes the articles that answer these questions on your site, links each one to your rooms and your booking engine, and tracks every month which hotels the AI assistants suggest in your area.
It is built for independent hotels and small groups with no marketing team to spare.

"Hotel with free parking near Krakow old town", "adults-only hotel in Santorini with a private pool", "quiet hotel near Madison Square Garden": guests search for a situation, not for your name. Sorank finds these searches around your neighborhood and your guest types, then writes one article per question, linked to the matching room page and to your booking engine.
The topics come from keyword research on your Search Console data and on the hotels you compete with.
Ask ChatGPT "where to stay in Porto for a first visit" and the answer names a few hotels, often taken from review sites. Sorank asks your prompts every month, shows which hotels are suggested and which searches the assistants run before answering, such as "best boutique hotel Porto 2026" or "hotel near Ribeira with parking".
Compare every hotel cited in the GEO leaderboard.
Commission-free bookings start with visits to your own site. Sorank brings Search Console and Analytics into one dashboard: the pages and articles that gain clicks, the ones losing ground, and the visits sent by ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity. Every article written by Sorank is flagged, so you see what it adds.
Follow it in the GEO / SEO Dashboard.
WordPress, Wix, Webflow or another site through a webhook: the connection takes a few minutes and leaves your booking engine untouched. Sorank reads Search Console to see which searches already bring guests.
Rooms, amenities, neighborhood, the guests you want more of (couples, families, business travelers, wedding parties) and your busy dates. Sorank turns this into a list of guest questions, ranked by demand.
Articles go live on the dates you choose or wait for the manager's approval. Each one links to a room page and to your booking engine.
THEY TRIED SORANK BEFORE YOU
“I tested Sorank on a real client site and it's insane. It does everything an agency would bill you $1500 a month for. It's going into production on that client now.”
Guillaume Guersanguersanguillaume.com
“I just let the Sorank software do its thing, and now my DR is 25 and my page is ranking higher.”
Lucas Flandrefoundertrace.fr“Great service, works well for our website and helps us understand how to improve it to rank better on Google and elsewhere. Congrats, keep going, I recommend it.”
Hugo T.E-commerce merchant“For 2 years, 100% of my clients came from LinkedIn. Posting daily, commenting, DM follow-ups… totally dependent on the algorithm. I knew I needed to work on SEO but always postponed it: too long, too technical, not my job. With Sorank, I finally took the step. In 4 months, I generate 15 organic leads per month without posting anything. It’s not 50/50 with LinkedIn yet, but I sleep better knowing I now have a second lead source growing on autopilot.”
Valentin ThomyColdMailing Agency
“I’m a developer, not a marketer. My Shopify theme was selling only through word-of-mouth and ads. With Sorank I finally understood how to structure my SEO and write articles to rank. The audit showed my product page was too slow. In 2 months, my organic traffic doubled and I’m starting to appear in ChatGPT answers when people search for Shopify themes. All of that with about 2 hours per week.”
Thème FullStackgo.themefullstack.com“Great solution to manage SEO without headaches. Audits are fast, the interface is clear, and you quickly see which actions to implement. It has become an essential tool to track and improve the SEO of my sites. I highly recommend it.”
XavEntrepreneur“I used Sorank for a client who needed SEO and it clearly made my life easier. I can quickly audit a site, track my projects, and keep a clear overview without multiplying tools. The onboarding is fast and the interface is great.”
Céline MaurinFreelance CM
“Blown away by Sorank’s performance. After testing many solutions on the market, I was amazed by how quickly our articles started ranking in the SERP. The results are concrete and much faster than anything we’ve experienced so far. It has been an excellent surprise for our team. We are confidently renewing our trust and highly recommend Sorank to agencies that demand fast and measurable results.”
Patrick PerretFreelance Webdesign SEO“We’re a development agency and we use Sorank to run on-page audits on our clients’ Shopify stores. It helps us quickly identify optimization opportunities, structure fixes, and collaborate more easily with clients on the SEO side. Very useful to complement our technical support 🔥”
Younes Yahyaluvaika.com“We are an Ads agency and we wanted to get our SEO back on track once and for all. Sorank gave us a clear view of our site, helped us prioritize optimizations, and properly structure our content. The tool is easy to use, well designed for a team, and very practical for centralizing tracking without having to juggle multiple platforms. A very solid foundation to start fresh with our SEO.”
Gaspard MadouiAds Agency“I specialized in GEO thanks to Sorank. The GEO Leaderboard allows me to show my clients their position vs competitors on ChatGPT. It’s a real commercial differentiator.”
MélanieSEO Freelance“I manage our dealership’s website and it had dozens of issues: slow pages, 404 errors, missing tags. We were losing rankings every month without understanding why. The Sorank audit detected everything in 5 minutes. I sent the report to our web provider with the priority fixes. We regained our rankings and traffic picked back up. Perfect for someone non-technical like me!”
Xavier BreullMarketing Manager“I’m a CMO for a SaaS and I manage acquisition in a very competitive market. We were investing heavily in our product but not working on our SEO. No visibility on our real competitors, no tracking of our presence in AI. Sorank showed us our positioning vs competitors, which keywords to target, and GEO opportunities we had completely ignored!”
Louis RAPPCMO SaaS
“Very good version 2, I recommend it.”
Antoine Verhillethenewblack.ai“I was skeptical at first, but this is the best SEO tool I’ve ever used. The interface is clear, audits are fast, and the recommendations are easy to implement. I’ve saved hours and hours managing SEO and tracking performance. I recommend it to all my entrepreneur friends who run an agency or work independently.”

Hotel SEO is the work that makes a hotel's own website appear when travelers look for a place to stay, and turns those visits into direct bookings. It plays out on three surfaces: the hotel panel on Google Search and Maps (photos, reviews, prices from booking partners), the regular results where your pages and articles rank, and the answers of AI assistants such as ChatGPT or Gemini. The first depends on your Google Business Profile and your booking engine; Sorank works on the other two.
Because they publish a page for every hotel, every city and every filter, and they often appear on searches for your own hotel name. A single property cannot match that on "hotels in Lisbon". It can win the precise questions where it knows more than any booking site: how to reach the hotel late at night, which room suits a family of five, what is open nearby on a Sunday.
In the European Union, the rules have moved in your favor. Since November 14, 2024, the European Commission requires Booking to let hotels offer better prices and conditions on other online channels, including their own websites. A clear website is where guests find that better offer.
They are unpaid links to booking sites, your own included, shown in Google's hotel results next to the paid ads. Google's help page on free booking links states that there is no cost for clicks on them and that bids have no impact on their ranking. Many booking engines offer the connection to Google Hotel Center; ask your provider whether your official site appears. Sorank does not manage this feed: it brings visitors to the pages around it.
They describe the stay they want and get a short list. On November 17, 2025, Google announced trip planning in AI Mode that brings together live hotel data and Google Maps reviews, and said that booking hotels directly in AI Mode would follow, with partners such as Booking.com, Expedia, Marriott and IHG. Independent hotels are not on that list, which makes the content of their own site matter more.
In our hospitality AI citation study, TripAdvisor is the leading source on each model measured: it is cited in 8.02% of ChatGPT answers, 6.95% of Perplexity answers and 3.38% of Gemini answers. A hotel site is rarely cited ahead of its review profile; it is cited next to it when it gives what the profile lacks, such as detailed room descriptions and local advice. Keep your reviews answered (see how to respond to Google reviews) and your own pages precise.
Each group calls for a different page, as our glossary entry on search intent explains.
What only the hotel knows, checked recently. Walking times measured from your door, the real size of the family room, the bus that runs after midnight, the restaurant the concierge sends guests to, with the date of the last check. Photos taken by your team and described in their alt text (see image SEO) say more than stock images. Google's quality guidelines call this first-hand experience the first E of E-E-A-T. Sorank writes from the facts you give it and links every article to the right room and to your booking engine.
Sorank handles keyword research, the articles and their internal links to rooms and booking engine, publication on WordPress, Wix, Webflow or by webhook, the monthly AI tracking, backlinks from other Sorank users' sites, and one dashboard for Search Console, Analytics and AI visits.
The hotel keeps its Google Business Profile, its rates and availability, the connection to Google Hotel Center, its listings on booking sites, its reviews and its room pages. Hostels and holiday homes have their own pages (hostels, vacation rentals), as do wellness retreats and spas; a group that also sells tours or transfers will find its angle on the travel and hospitality page.
Sorank costs $49 a month per hotel website on a yearly plan, or $99 month to month, for 20 articles and 10 AI prompts; Pro ($129 or $249) publishes 60 articles and adds Grok, Business ($249 or $499) publishes 120 (see pricing). The first 3 days are free. Set that against the commission on a few bookings a month.
Google gives no fixed delay. Answers to searches on your own hotel name tend to show first in Search Console; neighborhood and event articles take several months, so publish them well before the season.
Expect months rather than weeks. Pages that answer searches on your own hotel name usually show first; neighborhood, guest-type and event articles build visits over several months. Judge the results after three months in Search Console.
Sorank starts at $49 a month per website on a yearly plan, or $99 month to month, with 20 articles a month and 10 AI prompts tracked. A small group pays one plan per hotel website, and every plan starts with a 3-day free trial.
No. Your Google Business Profile, your rates and your connection to Google Hotel Center stay with you and your booking engine. Sorank works on your website content and tracks the AI answers.
Be described the same way everywhere: a review profile with recent, answered reviews, a Google Business Profile with the right details, and pages on your site that give the room details and local advice review sites lack. Then check every month which hotels ChatGPT names for your prompts.
It adds a direct channel; it does not replace them. Booking sites still bring guests who would never have found you. SEO wins back part of the guests already looking for a hotel like yours, and those bookings carry no commission.
Sorank publishes to WordPress, Wix and Webflow, and to other sites through a webhook. It does not connect to the booking engine itself: each article links to it.
We don't. Sorank isn't trying to be another Semrush or Ahrefs. Those tools are built for data, Sorank is built to do the work. Instead of more dashboards to check, it turns SEO and GEO insights into actions: articles written and published, backlinks earned, technical fixes and AI visibility tracking. Less complexity, more results.
From $49/month per website on a yearly plan, with a 3-day free trial and a 90-day money-back guarantee (conditions apply). Every plan includes articles, AI visibility tracking and access to natural backlink acquisition; higher plans add more articles, more AI prompts tracked and more backlinks. No setup fees, no paying for seats you don't use.
You shouldn't need a full marketing team or expensive tools to grow. Sorank handles your entire SEO and AI visibility, so you save time and money.
