Essential Prerequisites: your backstage pass to Google Hotel 🎫

1. Google My Business profile: Consider this your hotel's digital welcome mat.🚪 If you haven't set this up yet, now's the time (here's how). Google may take a short while to feature your location, so patience is key.

2. Property category: Ensure your online presence accurately sparkles by selecting the right category for your property. Options include Hotel, Motel, Hostel, Resort Hotel, Mountain Hut (Lodge), Camping Cabin, Extended Stay Hotel (Aparthotel), Love Hotel, Inn, Bed and Breakfast (Guest House or Pension), Farm Stay, Japanese Inn (Ryokan), Capsule Hotel (Pod Hotel), Religious Accommodation, Budget Japanese Inn (Minshuku), and Holiday Park. 🏩 Vacation Rental' properties aren’t compatible with this connection.

4. Domain name: Your website's domain should be prominently linked on your Google My Business page, affirming its legitimacy. 🔗
