2. Some
Facts
• Hotels
are
some9mes
ranked
illogically.
• Hotels
some9mes
disappear
from
the
hotel
list
suggested
by
Google.
3. Explana:on
• Google
works
on
the
principle
that
If
I
request
“Hotel
Nantes”
(Nantes
being
a
French
town),
to
be
relevant,
all
the
hotels
in
Nantes
town
center
have
to
be
listed.
4. Google
Theory
• Google
displays,
among
the
correctly
enquired
hotels
from
its
database,
hotels
in
the
town
center.
• Google
ranks
in
priority
the
hotels
with
the
highest
number
of
comments/reviews.
5. The
issue
• Some
hotels
in
the
town
center
are
beNer
listed
than
other
hotels
with
more
reviews…
how
is
it
possible?
6. The
reason
• What
Google
determines
as
town
center
is
not
necessarily
what
hoteliers
consider
as
town
center.
The
following
pictures
from
Google
Finder
show
what
Google
considers
as
town
center.
When
people
type
the
name
of
a
town,
Google
highlights
the
town
center
area.
The
hotels
listed
out
of
this
area
won’t
be
ranked
among
the
firsts
in
Google
Address.
