Haven property pages are optimized for search engines and AI-powered discovery. Guests can find your Haven site through Google and through AI assistants that recommend vacation rentals.
How Guests Find Your Haven Site
Keyword Search (Google)
Guests searching for vacation rentals by location, amenities, or property type can find your property in Google search results. Haven property pages include:
- Optimized metadata – Title, description, and location are structured for search engines
- Canonical URLs – Each property has a unique, stable URL that search engines index
- Schema.org structured data – Property details (name, description, amenities, pricing, availability) are marked up in a format search engines understand
- Sitemaps – Property URLs are included in sitemap.xml and image-sitemap.xml for efficient crawling
Reverse Image Search
Guests who have seen your property photos (e.g., on social media, in an email, or on another site) can use Google Lens or reverse image search to find your Haven booking page. Your property images are indexed and linked to your listing, so a guest can upload or paste an image and be directed to your booking page.
AI Model Discovery
Haven uses modern methods so AI assistants and AI-powered search can discover and recommend your property:
- Structured data – Every property page includes Schema.org VacationRental markup so AI models can parse and understand your listing
- Machine-readable summary – Haven publishes a summary file at https://www.bookwithhaven.com/llms.txt that AI models use to discover Haven properties, property pages, and help documentation. This file describes Haven’s structure, URLs, and how to find properties
- Sitemaps and robots.txt – robots.txt and sitemaps help crawlers and AI systems discover and index your content
Indexing Timeline
It may take a few days to a few weeks for Google to index new or updated property pages. Indexing speed depends on how often Google crawls the site and how much content has changed. There is nothing you need to do—Haven’s infrastructure is already set up for search engines to find and index your pages.
What You Can Do to Improve Discoverability
- Complete your property setup – Add a clear title, tagline, description, location, and high-quality photos. Search engines and AI models use this content to understand and surface your property.
- Use the AI Writing Assistant – Improve your tagline and description so they’re clear and keyword-rich. See AI Writing Assistant for details.
- Add location and amenities – Accurate location and amenities help guests find you when searching by place or features.
- Share your link – Share your Haven property page on social media, in your Google Business Profile, and in emails. More links and visibility can help search engines discover and rank your page.
