How guests and AI assistants find The Green Mountain Inn

The short version. Your Hotel block gives its web address as just "/", which machines cannot use. The newsletter sign-up is marked as a main (H1) heading alongside your welcome line, and shared links show no picture.

What we checked

What we found on your site

The Hotel block's web address is "/"

Structured data needs a full address (https://www.greenmountaininn.com/). A bare "/" cannot be resolved by tools reading the block on its own, so the block is not tied to your site.

"Sign Up For The Latest News" is a main heading

“<h1 class="gmi-heading-medium">Sign Up For The Latest News</h1>”

The page has two H1s, and the second is the newsletter box. Search engines read the H1s to decide what a page is about.

There is a share title but 0 og:image tags, so a link texted or posted shows a blank card instead of the inn on Main Street.

Why it matters

Search engines and AI trip planners read the structured data block and the files at the root of your site to learn your basic facts. When those are missing or disagree with what a guest sees, machines either skip them or repeat the wrong version, and fill the gaps from booking sites instead of from you.

If it's useful, I'd welcome 20 minutes to compare notes on how guests are finding independent hotels now. — Ethan Hawkes, Signalry
