Question

Can a 5 or 7 Star Hotel website be beaten in SEO rankings?

Apr 6, 2017 11:10PM PDT

Top rated star hotels will always remain at the top in search engine rankings & cannot be even competed with due to its status?

Given enough money you can change those rankings. What most folk forget is this is not only SEO but a money play.

You can do it by choosing a good SEO agency. Anything is possible. Newly started company can be in First position where 100 years company is behind it. Its also about you website, its content and seo agency.

There a hundred of 4 to 5 star hotels which do not rank very well.

Sure a few of the larger chains enjoy a little extra as googles likes it big. Surely if you don't have a star you cannot compete in search terme where you have to right to be in. Such as having a guest house wanting to compete with Hilton

Higher star rating doesn't equate to amazing SEO rankings. However, almost every luxurious hotel is aware that SEO matters, so it's hard to guess whether or not you could beat the big players in the travel and hospitality industry. You won't know unless you try.
