What appears when I search for your business or cottage name? Do your page titles and content make the location and type of stay clear?

The Penmaenucha Farm story
The next step used to be
another email.
The old website had no live prices or booking path. Guests sent an enquiry; the owners checked dates against a WordPress calendar and replied with a quote.
I built a new website connected to Lodgify, bringing availability, pricing and a booking path into the guest journey. The change addressed the manual checking and enquiry replies at the heart of the old process.

Can guests find you —
and then book?
Your free Direct Booking Audit follows the public journey from a Google search to choosing a cottage and taking the next booking step, including on mobile.
Choose a stay
Do the pages answer the questions guests searching for a cottage would have — and make availability and prices easy to reach?
Take the next step
Does the booking link or enquiry flow make sense, or does the guest have to start again?
You get one short, personalised video. Practical recommendations in priority order for public search visibility and the booking journey. This covers public Google results and your website; a full technical SEO review or internal system checks would need a separate scope.

Hi, I’m Nathan.
I’m a software engineer with a decade of experience. I help holiday-let businesses save time and make more money by improving their website and the systems behind it.
For Penmaenucha Farm, that meant connecting the website to Lodgify so guests could see availability, prices and the next step towards booking.
A practical first step

A few useful answers.
What exactly is free?
Your Direct Booking Audit is a focused review of public Google findability and the booking journey on your cottage website. I’ll send a short personalised video with practical recommendations in priority order. There’s no paid step to unlock the advice and no obligation to hire me.
Is this a full SEO audit?
No. I’ll check public Google results for your business or cottage name, look at obvious page clarity and search-intent basics, and follow the route to booking. This is a focused starting point, not a full technical SEO audit. Search results can vary, and I can’t guarantee rankings or recovered bookings.
Will you need access to my booking system?
Not for this audit. I’ll look at what a guest can see and do. I won’t access Search Console or analytics, or verify internal calendars, payment settings or synchronisation without access. If those need investigating, we can agree that separately.
Do I need to use Lodgify?
No. Tell me what you use now, even if it’s just email and a calendar. I’ll start with your existing setup. Whether an integration is possible depends on what your booking system supports.
Will I need a whole new website?
Not necessarily. The right next step might be clearer pricing information, a better booking link or an integration fix. I’ll explain what I think would help before you decide on any paid work.
What happens after the video?
You can use the advice yourself, pass it to your current developer, or reply to discuss having me implement it. If we’re a fit, I’ll give you a clear scope and price before work starts.
