Lower Waterford, Vermont

How guests and AI assistants find Rabbit Hill Inn

Prepared by Ethan Hawkes · checked 30 October 2026 (about 9:32 pm ET) · PDF copy

The short version. Your structured data names the inn correctly. The page heading does not: the only H1 is a search phrase, and the photos in your call-out panels have empty alt text.

What we checked

What we found on your site

Your main heading is a search phrase, not your name

“<h1 class="font-size-title">Romantic Inns Vermont</h1>”

The H1 is what search engines and screen readers take as the page topic. "Romantic Inns Vermont" describes a category; Rabbit Hill Inn and Lower Waterford appear only in smaller text.

Call-out photos have empty alt text

An empty alt tells screen readers and image search to skip the picture. The call-out photos (rabbit-hill-cta.jpg, 24-carrot-cta.jpg and others) say nothing to either.

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.
