Google Hotel Center Enforcement On Pricing Accuracy [SE Roundtable]

Google Hotel Center Enforcement On Pricing Accuracy [SE Roundtable]

Google sent out emails to hotels and lodging partners to inform them that they will begin enforcing pricing accuracy on their listings and feeds. The email says that starting on September 22, 2025, Google "will start removing more inaccurate prices from being shown on Google for both ads and free booking links."

This update was posted by Lluc B. Penycate who wrote on X, "About time Google... your current "standards" are pretty low... would love to see the data in the future (as with Spam)."

The email says:

We are writing to inform you about an important update regarding our price accuracy enforcement for lodging on Google, effective 22 September 2025. To significantly improve user trust and experience, we will start removing more inaccurate prices from being shown on Google for both ads and free booking links. While our policies remain the same, we are implementing higher standards for price accuracy.

It goes on to explain the impact this has on Google Hotel partners:

Increased Filtering: Prices with consistently poor accuracy may not be shown to users.

Improved User Experience: More accurate prices lead to improved user experience and trust both on Google and on your site.

Impact on Traffic: Partners with historically lower price accuracy may notice a decrease in traffic from both ads and free booking links, as more of their inaccurate prices are filtered. Conversely, partners with high price accuracy may notice an increase in traffic.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
