The short version. Your page title is clear, but the structured data does not describe a hotel, and the only H1 is a slogan.

What we checked

What we found on your site

Your structured data describes a web page, not a hotel

The JSON-LD block on your home page lists WebPage, WebSite and breadcrumb types, but no Hotel or LodgingBusiness entry. That entry is where search engines and AI trip planners read Pelham House's name, address, phone, check-in times and price range as facts.

The only H1 is a slogan

“<h1>Where Cape Cod Comes Alive</h1>”

Search engines and screen readers read the H1 as the page's main topic. It does not say Pelham House or Dennis Port.

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.
