Services
Add the services relevant to your vacation rentals business so Google, AI, and guests all know exactly what kind of stay you provide. This helps Google optimize your profile around the services you offer. If someone searches Google, or asks an AI tool, for a specific service, your profile is more likely to show up if it matches what they're looking for.
Below are some of the services you can mention. Select the ones that match what you actually provide.
- Extended stay discount
- Housekeeping on request
- Local guidebook and recommendations
- Self check-in service
- Whole-property booking
Reviews
Ask your guests to mention the stay they received in their review, along with how it went and any relevant details. This turns reviews into a source of trust for Google and AI, and helps AI recognize whether you excel at a particular service.
They can mention:
The extended stay discount was excellent, and the staff made it even better.
I really appreciated the housekeeping on request during my stay, and I'd book again.
If these keywords are mentioned, then the reviews become an enquiry tool for you.
Local Website
Your local website should include the following details:
- Your name
- Address
- Phone number
- Working hours
Beyond that, it should list all your vacation rentals services and categories, along with some of your posts. Where possible, describe your services in detail, for example:
Extended stay discount
Under extended stay discount, what exactly does it involve?
Housekeeping on request
Under housekeeping on request, what should guests expect?
When all these local details are covered on your website, it becomes far more visible in local search and local SEO results, helping your profile reach more guests who are searching for the stay you offer.
Posts
You should publish a variety of posts on your Google Business Profile covering:
Services
Whatever vacation rentals services you are providing.
FAQs
Common questions guests ask about your stays.
Informative content
