Northampton Hotel SEO Site Audit

The hotel market, local or otherwise, is one of the most competitive online spaces to compete in. This local Northampton SEO audit looks at the market space “hotels in Northampton” to see how a local hotel can compete against OTA’s ( Online Travel Agents ).

This SEO audit will also be useful to other local Northampton businesses and the same strategy can be applied.

This SEO audit is the first stage in the process of gaining ground over online competitors and not an ongoing SEO process.

I have not singled out any Northampton hotel on purpose, the hotel I dissect is the closest independent hotel that could tip over to Page 1 with the proper SEO guidance. 

This SEO audit purely looks at the Home page

 

Northampton Hotel SEO Site Audit

Is certainly worth fighting for, the monthly potential traffic is nothing to be sniffed at. Understanding potential traffic, current positions and the competition is crucial to planning any SEO strategy

OTA’s dominate the first page, including 5 out of the local 7 pack.

Why do OTA’s domiate search results ?

OTA’s benefit from the entire sites authority on their local page. They may also have thousands of properties within their Local Regional category, often creating a lot more authorative content then the local hotel.

Northampton Hotel Site Audit

 

Running a site audit provides a better insite into any structural issues that need to be rectified within the site. Normal issues found with most local sites relate to : Images, Duplicate Pages, Meta Details

Northampton Local Organic Search

In view of this site audit overview, we are looking at ‘hotels in Northampton’ in local search and how we can position better in organic search.

For hotels and local businesses I always look at Google Local Pages as a quick win. The local Page is appearing for branded search, but not within the local 3 pack. Why Not ?

Local pages provide a massive opportunity for local business to have a branded image in search, if they use Adwords they can utilise location extensions and higher positions within local search.

 

Hotels in Northampton Local Search

 

Clicking through to the local page. It is verified, however it has been ignored. The Page does not contain Logo or Header image ( Branding opportunity lost ).

 

Hotels in Northampton Local business page

 

The crucial part here is the views on the Local Page : 424,975 that is a lot of people who have viewed the page and or images on the page.

Leverage reviews, make it part of you follow up and customer surveys. Local reviews are a ranking factor within local 7 pack listings. The hotel uses an external review company for offsite reviews, however this free and ranking resource has been overlooked.

 

Local SEO Recommendations

 

  • Take control of the Local Page : Logo & Header.
  • Add Information Details about the Hotel – currently empty
  • Add updated Images
  • Connect to the site: either rel=publisher or a link in footer or on location page.

Start Engaging – capture some of that lost 424,975 views.

 

Hotels Page Properties

Title seems fine. Do we need to include PH Hotels in the title ?, potential loss of real estate.

Luxury Hotel in Northampton | Sedgebrook Hall | PH Hotels

Description is accurate and reads well, but the main opportunity, Hotel in Northampton has been lost between title and the description.

 

Hotels in Northampton On Page Site Content

 

Hotels Schema Markup

Well done on this, but a little incorrect.

type: http://schema.org/postaladdress

property:

name: Sedgebrook Hall
streetaddress: Chapel Brampton
addresslocality:Northampton
postalcode: NN6 8BD
addresscountry: England, UK
telephone: +44 (0) 1604 821 666

 

They have included the name of the hotel with the postal address, I would markup the name with schema.org/Hotel and remove the name from the schema.org/postaladdress markup.

<div itemscope itemtype=”http://schema.org/Hotel”>
<span itemprop=”name”> Hotel Name </span>
<link itemprop=”url” href=”http://www. your web address “>
<span itemprop=”description”> Succinct Description for Hotel </span>

<div itemprop=”address” itemscope itemtype=”http://schema.org/PostalAddress”>
<span itemprop=”streetAddress”> Street Address </span>
<span itemprop=”addressLocality”> Town </span>,
<span itemprop=”addressRegion”> County </span>
<span itemprop=”postalCode”> Post Code</span>
</div>
 
Phone: <span itemprop=”telephone”> Telephone Number </span>
Fax:<span itemprop=”faxNumber”> Fax Number </span>,
E-mail: <span itemprop=”email”> Main Email Address </span>
</div>

 

Find: Hotel Schema

 

On Page Recommendations

Check all sites pages, Titles & Descriptions, as some titles are inconsistent. Some end correctly with | Sedgebrook Hotel and some end in | PH Hotels

Markup the reviews on home page, using an external capture is great, but loosing the equity that they have paid for.

 

Developer Tools

Leverage tools within Webmaster Tools, thats what they are there for.

 

Hotels in Northampton Page Speed

 

Check your sites robots.txt files. You can use fetch & render within webmaster tools to give you a clear indication what Google can retrieve from the sites pages.

 

Hotels in Northampton Robots

 

Page speed increases your crawl rate, which increases the time search engines spend on your site, rather then trying to find files they need. Leverage all the speed you can.

 

Hotels in Northampton external CSS

 

Local Business Citations

The majority of links pointing to the site are from wedding photographers, well done. Local citations will help the site and its local Northampton visibility and the crucial local page listing. The rest of local citations are from OTA’s that the site uses.
