Why doesn’t the “Official Website” line appear on my Google Business Profile?
Why doesn’t the “Official Website” line appear on my Google Business Profile?
If you're already connected to Google Hotel via Amenitiz but don't see the "Official Website" link on your Google Business Profile, here are two things to double-check:
You must have at least one availability set for the current day.
Your minimum stay must be set to 1 night.
Even if the link isn’t visible, don’t worry—your property is still being featured on Google Hotel. It’s just that this specific display detail can vary depending on availability and minimum stay rules.
What’s the difference between Google Hotel and Google My Business?
What’s the difference between Google Hotel and Google My Business?
Google My Business helps you appear in Google Search and Maps with your location, photos, reviews, and contact info—it’s your online business card.
Google Hotel Ads displays your rates and availability in hotel-specific results and helps you receive direct bookings from Google.
Think of it this way: My Business shows your profile; Hotel Ads shows your prices and availability.
