What are hospitality marketing solutions?
Hospitality marketing solutions are tailored strategies - combining SEO, direct booking optimisation, reputation management, and AI search visibility - designed specifically for hotels, restaurants, and spas to increase bookings and reduce dependency on third-party platforms like OTAs and delivery apps. ThisRapt provides these solutions exclusively to UK hospitality SMEs, aligning every strategy to one outcome: measurable revenue growth.
Why Hospitality Businesses Need Solutions, Not Just Services
Generic marketing services rarely work for hospitality. A hotel's booking cycle, a restaurant's footfall patterns, and a spa's appointment-based revenue model each require a different strategic approach - not a repackaged version of the same SEO or social media package.ThisRapt builds solutions around three things every hospitality business shares:
A booking or reservation moment that must be won directly, not lost to a third party
A local, trust-driven discovery journey — increasingly happening inside AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, not just Google Search
A reputation system (reviews, ratings, guest sentiment) that directly influences whether AI tools and search engines recommend you at all
Hotel Marketing Solutions

Hotels lose 15–25% of every booking to OTA commission. Our hotel marketing solutions are built to reverse that - optimising your Google Business Profile, website, and AI search visibility so guests book directly with you, not through a third party. What's included:
Google Business Profile & Google Hotel Ads optimisation Direct booking funnel and rate parity strategy AI search visibility (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) Local SEO for hotel discovery ("hotels near me", "boutique hotel in [UK city]") Guest review acquisition and reputation management Seasonal campaign strategy (Bank Holidays, peak/shoulder season)

How We Build Every Solution
A Solutions Framework Built for How Guests Search in 2026
Guests no longer only type into Google – they ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for recommendations, and Google itself now answers most local queries with AI Overviews before a single blue link appears. Every ThisRapt solution is built across four layers to make sure your business is visible wherever that search happens:
LocalVisibility
51%
Of all Google searches now carry local intent — this is the layer that gets you found by name, in your city, at the moment someone's deciding.
OverviewPlacement
126%
More traffic goes to businesses in the local 3-pack than positions 4–10 — we build the completeness, reviews, and content that earn that placement.
DirectAnswers
40%
Of local business queries now trigger a Google AI Overview before any organic result appears — we structure your content to be the answer it pulls.
ReviewTrust
4.4x
More clicks go to profiles with 50+ reviews than those with under 5 — reputation is the trust layer that gets you chosen once you're found.
AICitation
79%
Of hotel links inside Google AI Mode route to a Google Business Profile, not a website — the same shift is reshaping how AI recommends spas and restaurants too.
WeeklyDiscipline
84%
Of UK adults search for local businesses online every week — visibility isn't a one-time project; it's a weekly discipline we maintain for you.
Most agencies still optimise for one of these. We build every solution across all four — because your guests are already searching across all four, whether you're ready or not.
