Done-for-you websites for independent hospitality. Built to rank for "near me" and amenity searches, sell direct instead of through an OTA, and stay visible now AI search is starting to book tables on people's behalf. You run the business. We get you found.
None of it is your fault. It's what happens when the people building hospitality websites have never had to run a service.
15-18% commission on every booking, for a guest who'd have found you anyway if they could. They're paying to book you, and you're paying to be found.
Google's AI Mode is now booking restaurant tables directly inside search results. If your site isn't structured for it, you're invisible at the exact moment someone's deciding where to eat.
Buried three clicks deep, or a photo of a chalkboard that Google can't read at all. None of it ranks, none of it shows up in a search, and none of it helps someone decide before they've even called.
You're running service, not sitting at a laptop. The last thing you need is to learn schema markup between covers. You need someone to just handle it, and not at an agency price.
People don't only browse OTAs and search Google the old way now. AI tools are starting to recommend, and even book, places to eat and stay directly. Most independent venues never appear when that happens. Yours will, from day one.
It's a brand new channel and most local competitors don't know it exists yet. That's exactly why you want in early.
Most website builders run the same template for a plumber as for a pub. We don't. Here's what we build that's specific to you.
"B&B in the New Forest", "dog-friendly pub Hampshire", "family restaurant near Beaulieu": pages properly optimised for the locality and amenity searches that actually drive bookings.
Designed to convert direct, not push guests to an OTA. Phone, email, and a link through to your existing booking system where you already have one.
Hospitality is a visual sale. Layouts built around your imagery: your rooms, your food, your view, not a stock library pretending to be your business.
Every dish, room, or package as indexable content Google and AI search can actually read. No more buried PDFs and chalkboard photos that rank for nothing.
Pulled straight from your Google Business Profile with proper schema. Your star rating shows up right in the search results, building trust before anyone even clicks. Kept updated as you collect more.
"Things to do near", "best walks within 20 minutes", "pubs we love nearby". Content that ranks for what guests search before they even know your name.
Twenty years in marketing, most recently at Dropbox, before that Oracle and ServiceNow. Zenlio itself started at the kitchen table, building my electrician brother a site that actually won him work, then his mate, then his mate's mate. Same approach applies here: proper SEO, real content built around your business, no template dressed up as bespoke.
Builds start at £500, with hosting from £49 a month. That gets you a properly built, SEO-ready site with menus, rooms or booking pages, photography-led design, and Google reviews. No £3,000 agency quote, and no £150 job from someone who disappears after the build. See the plans here.
Yes. We link through to whatever you already use for table or room bookings, so the site drives direct enquiries into your existing workflow rather than creating a separate one.
OTAs typically take 15-18% commission per booking and control how you're presented. A Zenlio site is from £49 a month, keeps the booking (and the margin) direct, and is the one place you fully control how your business looks online.
That's a growing part of how people search now. Google's AI Mode and tools like ChatGPT are starting to recommend, and even book, places to eat and stay directly. We structure your site so it's readable by those tools too, not just Google's classic search. Read more on the blog →
Yes, that's exactly who this is for. Independent pubs, B&Bs, restaurants and holiday lets, not chains. The Starter plan is built for a single-site independent business.
No. You fill in one form covering your menu, rooms or offering and the local detail that matters. We write every page, build the site, publish it, and keep it updated.
Ideally yes: hospitality is a visual sale, and real photos of your food, rooms or view build trust that stock imagery can't. If you don't have strong photos yet, we'll tell you what's worth getting shot. We don't use stock photos pretending to be your business.
Under a week from the day we get your form back. No months of back and forth, no developer tickets, no waiting around.
