What we checked

• Your home page, fetched signed out

What we found on your site

The weddings "call us" button dials a placeholder number

“<a href="tel:777.777.7777" class="button blue w-button">call us</a>”

Source: https://www.hartnesshouse.com/, fetched 2026-10-30 21:31 ET

A couple tapping "call us" on a phone is sent to 777-777-7777, not to your events team. Your real number, 802 885 8022, is elsewhere on the page.

The wedding-planning address is on another domain

“weddings@josefinhotel.com”

Source: https://www.hartnesshouse.com/, fetched 2026-10-30 21:31 ET

Every other address on the page is @hartnesshouse.com. Enquiries typed from this line go to josefinhotel.com; if that is not yours, they leave the building.

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
