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 stages 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

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 Hotels Domain Overview |
For a prominent hotel, the traffic seems very low ( this is an external audit tool ). Links are quite thin and the dip in rankings around Dec 2013 need to be looked at closer.
Hotels Organic Search Positions |
There are 65 keywords creating the 245 monthly visits. The majority of these organic search positions are variations of: Hotels in, Luxury Hotels in, Hotels near .
The second set is: Things to do in, What to do in.
The third set is: Weddings in, Wedding venues in,
Fourth set is: Spa in, day Spa in.
These can all be expanded upon when we look at site pages and how they are structured and look for existing and new opportunities.

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.
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 ).
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.

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 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>

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.
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.
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.
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.
