What San Diego customers are searching for

Why most hotels / inns miss out
OTAs (Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com) take 15-25% per booking and dominate every generic search — independent hotels need direct-booking SEO to protect margins.
Amenity and traveler-type searches (pet-friendly, family, business, accessible) convert way better than generic 'hotel' and are routinely missed.
Reviews drive nearly every hotel decision — and OTA reviews are owned by the platform, not the hotel.
