White Rock · South Surrey · local firstFor the B&Bs, legal suites, small inns and boutiques of our seaside town: photos that make people stop scrolling, a place on Google and in AI answers, every call answered, and a way for repeat guests to book you directly.
We live in South Surrey and White Rock. No travel fee for on-site visits in White Rock and South Surrey.
Website, bookings and being found by AI, all done in one go. If you already use a booking system, we connect it rather than replace it; if you don't, we set one up. No decisions to agonise over.
Have the rooms guest-ready and open the door. That's it.
Rates, minimum stay, deposit, cancellation policy, pets, check-in and check-out times, registration number. We give you a template; you tick boxes and fill blanks.
Stripe and Google accounts have to be opened by you. We sit with you and walk through it step by step, about 30 minutes.
Everything else is on us: domain, writing, translation, website, booking system, payments, calendar sync, Google Business Profile, AI search, launch testing and training.
We're not asking you to leave Airbnb. New guests will still find you there. But on your own booking page, your cancellation policy, checkout requests and deposit rules are yours to set, and guests agree to them before they book.
For every $1 booked direct, you skip the 15.5% platform fee and pay about 3% in card fees, so you keep roughly 12.5% more. Enter your property and rates to see what you could save, which package fits, and every discount that applies.

What we’d recommend
Estimates only: 15.5% is Airbnb’s current host fee for Canadian hosts, 3% is a typical card fee, and booking software is estimated from common tools.
I come and shoot in person. The photos are yours to use on your website, every platform and social media.

| Stage | What we do |
|---|---|
| Domain | Check your domain. If it has lapsed, we recover or re-register it, in your name, with auto-renew switched on. |
| Photos | On-site shoot, editing, sizes for every platform, cover and order advice. |
| Website | Built for phones first, tap to call, map, and your rates shown on the page. |
| Bookings | Connect your existing system or set up a new one; calendar sync, deposit and cancellation rules, automatic confirmations. It isn't live until a real test booking goes all the way through. |
| AI search | The 7 steps below. |
| Handover | 1 hour of training and a handover pack: account list, a 3-step card for changing rates and blocking dates, emergency contacts. |
| 30 days after launch | We re-run the AI test and send your first monthly report: visits, inquiries, direct bookings and estimated fees saved. |
When AI recommends a place to stay, it pieces together your Google Business Profile, review sites, directories and your own website. It recommends you when they all agree. There's no secret formula; we do every step properly and show you the results.
Categories, amenities, services and booking link all filled in.
Name, address, phone and hours checked on your site, Google, TripAdvisor, Yelp, Bing and Apple Maps.
Real photos of your rooms and surroundings say more about you than stock images ever can.
10–15 questions guests really ask, each answered directly in the first sentence or two.
Which way the view faces, how many minutes to the beach, what's for breakfast. Details missing from platform listings give AI a reason to recommend you.
Automatic review requests after checkout and reply templates ready to go.
At handover we ask ChatGPT and Google five questions a guest would ask, save the answers, and test again 30 days later.
We don't promise AI will recommend you, and we don't sell so-called "AI files". Google has said its AI search doesn't need them; the foundation is a solid website and business profile.

We're putting together a White Rock local map of the B&Bs, shops and cafés we work with. Stays include it in their guest guide, shops keep it at the counter, and everyone sends visitors to each other. Listing is free for our clients.
BC requires every short-term rental listed online to show its provincial registration number, and we put it on your website. White Rock and Surrey also have principal residence rules and municipal business licence requirements. These are yours to confirm; we do not give legal advice. BC short-term rental rules →
No. We connect the booking engine you already use to your new website and Google Business Profile. Guests tap "Book" and land in your existing system. Nothing to relearn, nothing to migrate.
If you get a handful of repeat guests, a booking request form plus your own Stripe or Square payment link is enough, with no monthly software fee; you block the dates on Airbnb once you confirm. If you expect more direct bookings, we set you up on a ready-made tool such as Lodgify or Hospitable, in your name, and you pay its subscription directly.
With iCal calendar sync, Airbnb can take a few hours to pick up changes from another calendar, so there is a small window for a double booking. We recommend a buffer on the platform, or blocking same-day and next-day direct bookings by hand. Inns with many rooms and frequent bookings should use a proper two-way channel manager, which we include in the quote.
Airbnb’s host protection (AirCover) does not cover direct bookings. Your direct booking flow should include a damage deposit, a cancellation policy and house rules, and it is worth checking with your insurer that direct stays are covered.
Seasonal B&Bs can pause the Care plan over the winter and keep Basic hosting so the site stays online, then switch back before opening.
You do. If you stop hosting with us, we hand over the site files and all photos.
We show your BC short-term rental registration number on your website, as the province requires. Registration, municipal business licences and principal residence rules are yours to confirm; we do not give legal advice.
Yes. On-site visits in White Rock and South Surrey have no travel fee. Elsewhere, photography includes travel at cost; everything online works the same.
Let's meet at your place or your shop. We'll do a free AI check before any photos.
