Step-by-Step Guide
To list your hotel rooms on Google, first set up and verify a Google Business Profile to manage your hotel’s information, photos, and reviews. Then, create a hotel list or connect with a Google connectivity partner or use an API connection to manage your room rates and availability, allowing them to appear on Google Hotels.
Step 1: Create a Google Business Profile
- Sign in to your Google Account: or create one.
- Go to Google Maps: and search for your hotel’s address or click on the map to add it as a business.
- Select “Add your business”: and enter your hotel’s name and address.
- Choose “Hotel”: as the business category and follow the on-screen prompts to provide details like phone number and website URL.
- Verify your business: by choosing a verification option, such as receiving a postcard by mail, to confirm your connection to the hotel.
Step 2: List Your Hotel Rooms
Once your business profile is set up, you can list your hotel’s rooms.
- Create a Hotel List:
You can manually create a hotel list that includes names, addresses, geocode locations, phone numbers, and website URLs. - Use a Connectivity Partner:
For a more integrated approach, connect with a Google connectivity partner who can manage your rates and availability. - Use an API Connection:
For larger hotel chains, an API connection allows for direct integration with Google, automating the process of updating room rates and availability. - Update Rates and Availability:
Whether you’re using a manual update, a connectivity partner, or an API, you can manage your rates and availability, including minimum stay restrictions, through the Google Hotels interface.
