Accommodation booking
The challenge
The accommodation booking service needed an independent SEO audit and a clear plan for improving its website. Its pages combined destinations, accommodation types and changing availability, so judging every URL by the same criteria was difficult. The assignment covered an audit and consultations. We identified which destination and accommodation pages could attract relevant searches, which technical issues needed investigation and which improvements the team should tackle first.
Where we started
We began by mapping the page types: destination listings, accommodation pages and search results shaped by filters or travel dates. We compared their purpose with the questions they could answer. We reviewed the route from a destination page to the accommodation details and booking action. The resulting inventory gave the audit a frame and prevented unrelated URL types from being assessed as though they performed the same job.
Problems we solved
Too many URLs obscured the key booking pages
Before
Destinations, property types, dates and guest settings could create many address variants. The audit needed to distinguish valuable landing pages from technical variations.
What we changed
We reviewed page types, crawl access, internal links and preferred URLs, then described which structures deserved attention first.
The audit needed clear implementation priorities
Before
Technical, content and navigation issues required different actions and dependencies. An undifferentiated checklist would not help the team plan the next release.
What we changed
We organised recommendations by page type and priority, explaining their purpose in consultation and connecting them to the guest’s route towards booking.
What we did
Reviewed searches for destinations and accommodation
We separated demand for a destination from searches about accommodation characteristics and individual properties. The audit identified which existing page types were suitable entry points and where the available content did not fully answer the intended question. Recommendations described the role of each proposed improvement, including the relationship between destination information and the accommodation selection. This gave the team a content plan grounded in the service's catalogue.
Reviewed filters, dates and indexing rules
We examined how filters, sorting and travel dates affected URLs and page content. Particular attention went to the distinction between stable destination pages and temporary search states. The findings described potential duplication, unclear preferred URLs and page groups requiring additional technical verification. We proposed principles for handling these states and explained the checks needed before implementation, rather than presenting a blanket instruction to index or exclude every filtered page.
The audit considered destination pages, accommodation selections and individual listings separately. Date and guest parameters were assessed as a distinct technical concern.
Assessed the journey from search to booking
We reviewed whether a visitor could understand the location, accommodation characteristics and booking conditions before proceeding. The consultation connected content gaps with their place in the journey: comparing a destination, choosing a property or checking a particular stay. We highlighted where clearer information or navigation would be useful and distinguished these recommendations from changes to the booking engine itself, which required separate technical and operational discussion.
Turned findings into implementation priorities
We grouped the findings by page template, likely impact and dependency on other work. Each recommendation explained the problem, the affected part of the service and the condition that would indicate a successful correction. During consultation, we discussed questions and the sequence of possible actions. The handover separated matters that could be resolved through content from issues needing development investigation or additional evidence before a decision.
Key decisions
The difficult part was evaluating a catalogue whose visible offer changed with the requested stay. A destination page could be useful in search even when particular travel dates produced few options, while temporary search results did not necessarily deserve permanent visibility. We assessed page purpose separately from an individual availability state. Recommendations explained which observations supported a conclusion and which required further checking. This gave the team a practical basis for deciding what to investigate, implement and validate during subsequent development.
What changed
The service received a structured diagnosis and a prioritised basis for further search work. The audit connected catalogue mechanics, page content and the booking journey, while consultations helped translate findings into decisions for the team. The outcome of this assignment was the recommendations and their explanation; implementation and subsequent performance belonged to the service's next stage of work.
