The Problem

Most Hotels Pay Too Much in OTA Commission

The top 3 Google Maps results get the direct booking. Every hotel below them pays OTA commission instead.

Most hotels have never been optimized for local search or AI recommendations.

When a traveller is looking for a hotel in your city, they are not calling a property they heard about once. They are searching Google right now. The top three results in Google Maps and organic search get the direct booking. Everyone else pays 15 to 25 percent commission to an OTA instead.

Most hotels have a website that was built years ago and has never been optimized for local search. No Google Maps presence. No AEO structure. No system to follow up with enquiries that come in after hours.

We fix all of that. A professional website, a dominant Google Maps presence, and AI automation that makes sure every enquiry gets followed up, even the ones that come in at midnight.

What Our Clients Say.

We had a great experience working with AH Media! Their team managed our SEO and Google Ads, helping us see a clear improvement in both paid and organic traffic. The blog content they created played a big role in boosting our Google rankings. Highly recommend AH Media to anyone looking to grow their digital presence.

Having dealt with so many so called marketing experts who over promise and underdeliver, we had been reluctant to engage another marketing firm. Recently a business friend recommended AH Media. Wow — we have been filled with a renewed sense of excitement, confidence and vision. Efficient, smart, innovative and visionary.

ANSWER ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

AEO Gets your Hotel Found by AI Search.

AEO for hotels means structuring your property so that when someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity for the best hotel in your city, your name comes up. Most hotels are not doing this yet. The window to get ahead of your competitors is still open, but it is closing fast.

FAQs About Hotel Marketing

FAQs

How do travellers find hotels online?

Most travellers start with a Google search, typing something like "boutique hotel downtown Toronto" or "best hotel near CN Tower". The top results in Google Maps and organic search capture the majority of direct bookings. Hotels that do not appear in those top positions lose guests to OTAs and competitors who pay more in commission as a result.

How long does it take to see results from hotel SEO?

Most hotels see meaningful movement in Google Maps and organic rankings within 60 to 90 days of consistent optimization. The timeline depends on your current standing, your market, and how competitive your destination is. We give you a realistic assessment on the strategy call.

What does a hotel website need to include?

A clear presentation of room types and amenities, a fast and frictionless direct booking experience, trust signals like reviews and awards, high-quality photography, and a structure optimized for AEO so that AI assistants recommend your property when someone asks for a hotel in your area.

Can AI automation help a hotel?

Significantly. Hotels miss direct bookings every day because enquiries come in after hours or go unanswered. AI automation can respond to missed calls instantly by text, follow up with booking requests automatically, send pre-arrival and post-stay messages, and handle review requests without any manual effort from your team.

Do you work with hotels outside of Canada?

Yes. We work with hotels and hospitality businesses across Canada, the United States, and internationally. The strategies we use for local AEO and SEO apply in any market.

What makes hotel marketing different from other industries?

Hotel guests make decisions based on location, trust, and perceived value. Your online presence needs to communicate all three instantly. That means fast-loading pages, compelling photography, authentic guest reviews, and a direct booking experience that feels more seamless than any OTA.
