Citation sites for hotels
These are the 10 citation sites and business directories we list for hotels, and 8 of them are free. Hotel guests compare on travel sites, so these listings can bring bookings as well as citations. A citation is any site that shows your business name, address and phone number.
Tip for hotels: Use the same property name on every site, including any word such as "Hotel" or "Inn". Enter your name, address and phone number exactly as they appear on your Google Business Profile.
